Hello , please I am a small YouTuber and I do not have the finances to purchase your stock videos, can I use your free stick videos with your watermark for my YouTube demonstrations?

    No. Those videos are only intended for temporary use, to demonstrate the fitness for a project. If you want to use a video in your YouTube blog, you will need to licence it. If you publish a video with the watermark, you do a copyright infringement, and that could cost you a fortune.

    Adobe Stock has ~45,000 videos available in the "Free" section that require no payments to Adobe for you to download and use in your design; however you are still bound by the License Terms for those assets. Review the License Terms here to confirm that your intended use is within the terms.

    I've moved this from the Using the Community forum (which is the forum for issues using the forums) to the Stock forum.

    If it has a watermark, it is not free, so no you are not allowed to use it.
