Unreal License For You tube

Community Off-Topic

Hello
I am just starting a YouTube channel and I want to create animations using Unreal Engine and monetize the channel. I want to use two samples, Valley of the Ancient and City Sample, which are available for free from Epic Games, in my videos. For example, I plan to place some objects in a street from the City Sample and render animations from them.

In the license section for these two samples, it states: “UE-Only Content - Licensed for Use Only with Unreal Engine-based Products.”

However, I am not clear on whether I am allowed to use these two in my YouTube videos or not. Will I encounter copyright issues? Or is there no problem?

I’m not an expert on this, but this sounds fine.

You will be making the animations in the engine, and you can be clear you are using the engine. You can also give links to the official assets, and you’re showing how to use the engine. Then it’s just marketing for Epic :slight_smile:

What would not be ok, would be to offer the assets as if you had made them, or charge for access, which I have seen on some youtube channels.
