Can I use the videos in ads? Licences and credits

What you may do with a video depends on what is in it and on your plan.

Your own video

On paid plans, videos made with ViralDub can be used commercially, including in ads. Free plan videos carry a badge and a non-commercial licence: no ads or client work.

Real photos

Only freely licensed photos are used: CC0, public domain, CC BY, CC BY-SA and GFDL. Photos under non-commercial or no-derivatives licences, fair use or all rights reserved are never picked. These licences allow commercial use on their own terms. The main condition is credit to the author and the licence, which is why every photo is credited on screen and under the video. CC BY-SA and GFDL also ask that adaptations are shared under the same licence.

Real clips

Clips are short excerpts of public videos, credited to their channel. They are not covered by a free licence. ViralDub does not grant rights to third-party content in a video (see our Terms of Service). Before you use a video with real clips in paid ads, either make a version without real clips, or get permission from the owner of the footage.

Archived web pages

Pages from the Internet Archive are shown as they looked, credited with the archive and the date. The page itself still belongs to its owner.

Keep the credits

• Keep the on-screen credits in the video.
• When you post it, paste the credit list from under the video into your description.

Logos and people

Stock or generated people are never presented as your customers or as endorsing your product. Don't ask for logos, trademarks or endorsements you aren't entitled to use.
