After putting my trailer on my website I received a robo message from the royalty free site asking me to credit the images. How do I do this? If it's a question of adding the info to the credits that's easy enough but they seemed to require something involving an image ID. I'm so confused. Also why didn't they have a problem with the same images in my blog?

I would credit the images on Youtube (in the video's description) or where ever you are hosting it, and then repeat that credit statement on a copyright page on your site.

Is it as simple as naming the source?

Yes and no.

When I use a CC-licensed (royalty-free) image in a blog post I add a credit line at the end: "images by xxx, yyy, zzz". I usually link to the source, but I don't know that it is required.

What does the license say?

I don't quite remember. The video is active on my site so they (hopefully) will send another message and I can get the exact wording.

I put an end credits on my video providing credit for the images, as well as in the description (with links) that way if I share the video on other sites I don't have to link to the Youtube video, and the accreditation stays with the video if others share it without linking to Youtube.

Did you just credit the source or use them ndividual image IDs? I am just going to credit the images in the last scrolling frame of the video. Like you said then the credits are always with the video.

Depends on what the source requires. I pull a lot from deviant art, and with those I have to credit the individuals. When I pull from Pixabay or graphic stock, I just credit the source as required by the licensing.

Thank you :)

I list where I got the images in the description on YouTube. I recently noticed the song I use for one of them the singers claimed it but are allowing me to use it.

I see. I still wonder how they knew my video was even up. It wasn't on youtube.
