Hello, I am Darkwraith Nekron and i am new to content creating. I just have a few questions about the fair use law and using clips in videos. I understand i need to ask permission, which is fine, but i want to make sure i understand the fair use law in the context of youtube. Before i ask my question here is some context; I am trying to create a showcase video where i discuss video game lore for a set of 5 horror themed games. In this video ive picked out 1 instance from each game to discuss. Unfortunately i do not own all the games im trying to cover and had the idea to use clips from other creators that were showing the instances i chose that i can show as i discuss the lore of that instance. Now my question, a side from getting permission to use those clips, how can i safely use the clips under the fair use law? e.g. what is the safest way to do it? like for example, if i use the clip, give credit, get permission and use a voice of my discussing the clip being shown with little to no audio from the clip, would that be enough to avoid a mark on my channel? any and all tips are appreciated, thank you in advance.
