CC0 / CC-BY Stock Video for Faceless YouTube

Copyright claims are the #1 killer of faceless-channel monetization. Use only license-clean footage. Here are the sources the pipeline pulls from — and the exact rules so you never get claimed.

License-clean sources

Source	License	What you get	Attribution?
Pexels	CC0-like	High-quality HD/4K clips	No (Pexels license)
Pixabay	CC0-like	Large clip library	No
Coverr	CC0-like	Curated, trendy B-roll	No
Mixkit	CC0-like	Free clips, no login	No
Wikimedia Commons	CC0 / CC-BY	Historical, science, public-domain	Depends on file
Unsplash	Custom (free)	Photos (not video)	No (Unsplash license)

Rule the pipeline enforces: only sources marked CC0 or CC-BY are allowed, and every clip's source URL + license is logged. If a claim is ever filed, you can prove clearance in one click. Never pull from "free stock" sites that resell licensed footage — that's where claims come from.

How to verify a clip is safe

Open the clip's license page. Look for the literal words CC0 or CC-BY, or a platform license that says "free for commercial use, no attribution required."
For CC-BY, copy the credit line into your video description: Footage: [Title] by [Author] via [Source], CC BY [version].
Log it: visuals_pro records source_url + license per clip.
If a source is ambiguous, skip it. There is always CC0 alternatives for any topic.
