Copyright infringement or not?

Hello! I have a copyright question. I'm not good at vector graphics. But I can animate very well, the question is. What if I download a vector file from a free vector graphics site, animate it and post it on video stocks, am I breaking any rules?

Just because graphics are free, that doesn't actually change anything. They still have copyright, the creator just choose not to charge money for it. If you make something with it, there is combined copyright - both you, and the original person. So you cannot submit to stock, which needs you to have ALL of the copyright.

You will need a property release from the vector asset creator.
