I want to make a video that will splice other videos (such as commercials and civil rights videos) together. I was planning on just getting the original ones off google or youtube or something if possible. I’ve never made any sort of movie before, and have absolutely no idea how to do this.
I also don’t know if this infringes copyright laws. I wouldn’t think so, because you see clips posted and reposted and redone on youtube all the time, but I’m not sure.
Any help?

You can do this in a number of ways such as using everymp4.com to get the Youtube files.
The easiest way (I think lol) just get the firefox add-on DownloadHelper and you can download just about anything on the web. You can save it in the original file format (ie: .avi, .wmv, etc) cuz when you convert it, it’ll leave a watermark. After downloading it, convert the video using Zamzar.com
Don’t worry: DownloadHelper, Everymp4, and Zamzar are perfectly safe for your computer. I’ve been using all of them for awhile with no problems!
You can just use the default movie editing program on your operating system to start out with since this is your first video… Windows Movie Maker, iMovie.. it doesn’t matter.
Knowing Youtube, it would probably be flagged for copyright laws. I hate Youtube soooo much! Ever since I made my account they’ve attacked every single video I’ve ever poster. I even had to make a new account because they took down a video and threatend to delete my account and videos if I put anything else up. But if they do flag your video, just dispute it.
Good luck and feel free to message me if you need anymore help!

The prelinger archives are things you can totally use without infringing copyright laws http://www.archive.org. You’ll need some sort of video editing program – windows movie maker or imovie. I’m not sure what else I can provide you with until you get into the editing parts.

this will help you… use ‘zillatube’ – it gives you good quality video/audio and more ( example, it can also help you convert to video/audio format that is compatible with Windows Movie Maker, as you wanted )

it is the easiest (and also the fastest) way.
Zillatube easily saves or download videos from Youtube… to your computer, and more (e.g. it will help you convert them, or just watch them easily anytime you want).
It works very well –
