is it against the rules to use clips from other people's amv's in your own amv?... not stealing the amv but just using clips

Technically it's not against the "rules"...but it is highly frowned upon...

Technically, no.

But it's taboo. Possibly to the point of being banned.

I suppose you can do it anyway, though, if you like instigating forum flame-fests.

If you really want to do it, I suggest you get permission from whoever made the AMV first. A lot of people don't seem to like it when their edits are swiped without their having been contacted about it.

good idea

at the absolute very least, supply your source in the creator comments once you upload it. For the record, such video's don't score well.

Should be easy if I wanna steal clips from "On your mark".

If you don't upload them, it doesn't really matter. You could put naked pictures of your mom in them.

What makes a video "yours'' has been a topic of fairly contentious debate on this site for a while. If you are just looking for footage, I'm sure you could find it elsewhere *cough* downloads *cough*, if it's certain effects, then you are likely to run into a lot more friction. Think about it, if something is hard for you to do, or to learn to do; it was probably hard for the person that made the video you are using as well. What you are taking from them isn't clips, but 'effort' and 'time' that they spent learning how to do it. It's like when you work, and some random guy on the street gets a cut of your paycheck.

To answer your question: people will hate you for it.

If he did that, I certainly want the video uploaded now!

He can steal clips from all my videos for that!
