Downloading And Editing YouTube Videos

So, you think downloading someones video, editing it and re-uploading is not copyright infringement? I’ve got news for you, if you don’t have the owners permission you are infringing their copyright. You can download to view but you have no other rights.

As a content creator I protect my copyright. There are too many people on YouTube who just use whatever they want without a thought as to it’s ownership. That’s why I gave the response I did. It has nothing to do with being progressive or otherwise. Loser, no. I leave that to others who can’t be bothered to create their own original content.

What software do you use to download the videos? Are they at the same resolution on your computer as on the full screen youtube? What is the resolution and Kbps of the downloaded video? What resolution and Kbps do you export at? You can’t get better resolution than you start with. When you say they are grainy, are they more grainy than the originals viewed full screen on youtube? Can you post a couple of screen shots of the same individual frame before you download it and after you edit it? At what point in the process do you lose quality…youtube original full screen to your computer after download, your computer after editing and exporting, or your computer to youtube? Are you cheking the Kbps and export settings to export at the highest quality?
