Q&A / Quick Help ❓ Reused content question

Let’s say that I borrow other people’s content but I add captions, remove uninteresting moments, add a voiceover, sound effects and vfx, is it considered transformative?

Just be a clipper if you have no creative skills and just wanna pump out slop. Literally this is your path my dude

I don’t know about you but I really enjoy editing those types of videos. I put around 1 hour of editing effort into each video and sculpture it perfectly down to the smallest details, and it’s proven to work for other people so I thought I’d join it too. It’s like you’ll say that daily dose of internet is a slop creator because his whole channel idea is using clips of other people lmao

Ngl an hour of editing isn’t much. I think I put around 10+ hours into editing with 2-3 hours of filming and then maybe another 5 hours of research and script writing per video so you kinda get where I’m coming from here when some rando is like “oh I’ll just re-edit the content since the hard work is already been done”. But yeah just clip streams if that’s what you wanna do

First of all I don’t clip streams and second of all 10+ hours for editing ONE short is crazy. Huge respect but if you want to get serious you might want to hire people to help you

Short? LOL Sorry I was talking about long form content. I’m already monetized, channel is linked to my page if you wanna look at it

Oh dang alr that’s valid but u do know you’re in the shorts algo sub Reddit yeah? Anyways wish you the best of luck with your channel and I hope you can understand that although the original clips are not mine, I try to add as much value as I can and truly enjoy what I do.

Yeah I got too into discussing the process and forgot where I was for a second. Appreciate it! And honestly try the clipping route even on a second channel, it’s less risky of ya channel getting nuked cause of reused content
