Creating videos with UE5 for YouTube

Community Community & Industry Discussion

Greetings

Do I have permission to create a music video with UE5 and monitize it on YouTube? Do I own royalty fees and do I need to add in the video discription that I use UE5?

Thank you very much in advance.

From EULA - Unreal Engine

i. Non-Engine Products (e.g., Rendered Video Files)
You will not owe us any royalty payments for Distributing Products that (i) do not include any Engine Code, (ii) do not require any Engine Code to run and (iii) do not include Starter Content in source format (“Non-Engine Products”) to any person or entity.

This means, for example, you will not owe us royalties for Distributing:
● rendered video files (e.g., broadcast or streamed video files, cartoons, movies, or images) created using the Engine Code (even if the video files include Starter Content)

Also info about attribution:

a. Proprietary Notices and Attribution
You agree to retain the copyright, trademark, and other proprietary notices and disclaimers of Epic as they appear in the Licensed Technology.

If a Product you develop under this Agreement has credits, you must place the following notices in the credits (replacing xxxx with the current year):

“[Product name] uses Unreal® Engine. Unreal® is a trademark or registered trademark of Epic Games, Inc. in the United States of America and elsewhere.”

“Unreal® Engine, Copyright 1998 – xxxx, Epic Games, Inc. All rights reserved.”

(I don’t think that a video description classifies as ‘Credits’ though!)
