Have you ever been in the process of creating a video and just needed that one perfect clip to make it pop? Maybe you were creating your own music video and needed an aerial video of Los Angeles at night to spice it up. Unless you had a helicopter, a pretty powerful camera and some fierce editing skills, this would have been a big challenge. Now, look no further than the

Creative Commons

library accessible through

YouTube Video Editor

to make this happen. Creative Commons provides a simple way to license and use creative works.

You can now access an ever-expanding library of

Creative Commons

videos to edit and incorporate into your own projects. To find a video, just search in the YouTube search bar or from within the
