A few days after I uploaded my first draft video to YouTube, I received a notification that the video had been removed due to copyright purposes. I understand that I do not own any of the movie footage that I used, but this caused obvious problems with my project. I ended up using TinyPic to upload both my second and third drafts and was able to embed them onto the website. It was an easy fix, but it's a bit annoying that there is the colorful TinyPic logo in the corner of my video and that in order to view the video in full screen, you have to go to the original video which leads you to the TinyPic site and you have to watch it from there. There is the other option of upgrading my site to Pro where I could simply upload the video straight to my website. Unfortunately this costs around $100 a year and as a poor college student who has rent and other bills to pay, that $100 is very precious to me. Being someone who likes to mess around with iMovie but is a horrible actor who has friends who hate to be recorded or can't concentrate long enough to actually make a proper video, using clips from movies and TV shows is really the easiest way to make a quick little video like the ones I did for my Twitterive. Having them constantly removed from YouTube becomes somewhat disconcerting. All of the hard work goes to waste because I can't use footage that I have already disclaimed is not mine. Now I understand that if they broke the rule for one person they would have to break it for everyone else and next thing we know, someone is claiming they recorded JAWS at their public pool. On the other hand, where is one to start with their editing experience if they cannot get proper feedback from the trolls of YouTube?
