Hi everyone.  I have a basic Lightroom plan.  I logged in and downloaded some free images from adobe stock ('Free' was visible in the lower left corner).  I read the standard license and it seems I can use these in a YouTube video without losing sleep or thinking about lawyers and money.  I'm looking for confirmation.  Please advise.  Thanks to all.

Correct answer Abambo

Short answer: yes!

 

Longer answer: The standard licence allows for unlimited views on social media, even when the asset is free. Indeed, there is no difference between a for paid item and a free item both with a standard licence. 

 

That you use Lightroom makes Adobe happy, but is irrelevant here. For using Adobe stock you need an Adobe ID and that is all what is needed to licence free items. 

 

Look here for more information on licensing: https://community.adobe.com/t5/stock/links-for-licensing-terms/td-p/11366788
(Disclaimer: As always with licensing, this is my interpretation of the rules. I think they are correct and advice is based on reading and interpreting the licence terms and on fair use for both the buyer and the artist/stock company, but I cannot rule out that my interpretation is wrong. I'm not an Adobe employee).
