Hello!
I recently received a strike on my YouTube channel for uploading a video in which the content was provided through a Blackmagic Design tutorial.
After searching, I could not find any relative information through Blackmagic Design or Davinci Resolve stating to not upload any edited versions of the tutorials to social media (YouTube), because it could be in violation of a copyright.
I uploaded my version of the edited content to highlight my version of the tutorial. I tagged Blackmagic Design in the description and also added that all the footage and content was provide through Blackmagic Design courtesy of National Geographic. The video was online for a few months and had around sixty (60) total views. My YouTube account is not set up to generate add review but videos that qualify for monetization always go to the copyright holder accordingly.
As you might imagine I was surprised to find my account in violation of the copyright claim, specifically the strike, since all of the material was provide through Blackmagic Design for educational purposes. I can understand a notice stating the video could not be monetized, but having the strike applied and video removed seems to be a bit excessive, considering all the material was provided in a free online tutorial to help learn the editing software. Not that it matters much, but I'm also a paying customer of various Blackmagic Design's products including Davinci Resolve's full paid version and the Speed Editor.
The strike was a manual request to have my video removed by "The Invisible Highway, LLC", which is the owner of the National Geographic film "Living in the Age of Airplanes". I have reached out to them, as YouTube provides contact information regarding copyright matters, but have not received any correspondence back.
I'm curious to know if anyone else has had this happen to them. I'm also wondering where I might find guidelines for the free tutorial videos Blackmagic Design offers and how one can use them, if at all, after editing their own versions of the content.
I appreciate any insight to this matter!
Thank you!
