you tube with legal consequences

Keen to try putting up my own movie, I rushed home on Friday and attacked my computer via Lynda.com.  I discovered I could do a screen capture.  The equipment was already on board.  And so I did, and thus it grew up (more precicesly down) into a presentable (newbie catagory) movie.  I used photoshop to colour a zoomporphic letter I had designed.  All excitment, I got a you tube account, I got ready to go....I stopped.  Photoshop was in the screen shot.  Being a regular visitor to the Law Library I knew Adobe would have something pertinent to say about their program in my movie.  I had put them in the credits, but something told me Adobe might be a trifle more picky than that.  And they are.  Not only do they require that I show the full screen shot, I had cut in close to show the development of illuminating the zoomporphic, but they require I show you the whole 17.07 minutes! Grrrr. Okay, Photoshop couldn't be in the shot, so it wouldn't be in the shot.  I had to save every frame separately, but I am nothing if not obsessive when I want a project to work.  And having made two movies, I am now familiar with imovie basics.
