FIRST General Forum

The new editing crew decided to take the World Cup Video of Shakira’s Waka Waka video and substituted robotics shots instead of soccer shots.

I’m smiling, I’m going to keep smiling, and in a few minutes - I’m going to start dancing. This is a really fun video.

Keep setting the bar 842,

It was fun!

Very nice, Fredi. There may be a future in editing here.

Awesome video. I really like the ending, it really sealed the video into my memory. Nicely done.

How did you keep from getting busted by YouTube for using a copyrighted song?

I think most record companies have a deal with YouTube now that they get a cut of the profits from advertising. I think they have a deal with most of the major labels and I want to say it’s WB that’s still holding out. YT will now detect what music you have in the song and tell you if it’s legal or not when you upload. For example, our team video from last year isn’t viewable in Germany due to licensing.

Totally love it!

Really cool, great job guys!

It depends on the song and label now. Certain record labels allow their content on YouTube as long as their song is linked to with one of those floating adverts that appear under the video automatically.

Optionally, you can file a fair use claim. A video I posted featured 30 seconds of Enter Sandman in the background as ambient music which was automatically removed. I argued that the educational purpose of the video (FIRST Robotics Competition) combined with the short sample of work unremovable from the video’s audio track did not compromise the label’s ability to sell the song, and my claim was accepted. This usually takes a few days though.

Nice!

Anyone want to tackle a resource paper for NEMO on questions to ask before using music out there-public domain vs. copyrights?

It is confusing and each year there are tons of questions from teams wanting to use music/videos, especially as part of Chairman’s entries.

Stop Motion action yay! This is fantastic!

Also! This is a brilliant idea:

Something to add to that might be a quick tutorial on how to make music in Garageband or good sites to find open songs.
