I am planning to purchase an intro logo videohive project and create an intro for a youtube channel.
The main content of the youtube videos will be different every time but the intro logo will always be the same.
Any ideas what license i need to purchase for it, assuming that this will be my main intro video for the next couple of years?
What constitutes a series (eg TV series, webisodes, or a magazine with monthly editions)?
To be considered a series, all things in the series (eg episode, edition) must be connected, and be released within 1 year of the first installment. There is also a maximum of 52 episodes or editions within the series.
Example: A 12 episode TV series that starts in December and ends in July would only require a single license. A YouTube series that releases an episode every week (52 total) would only need to purchase a license once every year. A magazine that releases an edition every other month would need to purchase a license once every year.
I am using an After Effects template to create my logo sting (logo reveal). Do I need to buy a license for each movie that logo sting goes in?
No. The customized/rendered logo reveal is the final end product and it can be used in any number of movies without having to purchase another license. Remember that you need a new license for each use of the template to create a unique logo reveal.
The 52 episodes rule is what confused me and i decided to write in the forums.
So if my youtube channel produces a video every week then by the end of the year i will need a new license because i completed 52 weeks. Right?
What about though if i am not so consistent and i release 40 within a year. Will that be considered a series? Or will it be considered a series after i complete 52 weeks?
