Hey Folks, can i create a Movie and publish it (e.g. Youtube with advertising) or just sell it to a client (typical commercial use)?

1. Do I need to pay this 5% afer 1,000,000 USD?
2. The revenues from all videos together?
3. How to calculate revenue?

I’m realy confused.

Workflow:

- create a scene with the unreal engine and quixel (unreal unlimited)
- rendering out cinematic movie
- export to after effects
- sell this movie to a customer

Rendered linear media is considered a Non-Engine Product under the EULA. Revenue generated solely from Non-Engine Products is not royalty bearing. So, the answers to your questions are

1. No
2. n/a
3. n/a

Thank you for the clarification.

Do I need a copyright notice?

When I create a background video for Twitch, it’s hard to put a copyright notice there.
