I’m starting a faceless Youtube channel and honestly I have no idea where people get their footage from. I did some research and I mostly found 2 options:
- AI generated images and videos
- Stock footage and images
The thing is, I’m trying to avoid using full AI generated videos because Youtube updated their Ai policy around July 15, 2025, and a bunch of ai channels got demonetized after that. I don’t wanna risk putting months of work in and then get hit with “limited monetization” or a straight rejection like I’ve seen happen to others.
My niche is basically financial guidance, stuff like money management, compounding, smart saving habits, etc. So my videos don’t need crazy cinematic shots, but they also can’t look too generic or low effort.
If I use stock images and videos from storyblocks and envato will that cause any copyright problems on my channel?
