EnvatoElements videos may be freely used for submissions while you are a subscriber.
A single account can be used for multiple channels.
However, please note that if you use it incorrectly, you will be in violation of the license.
Here we will explain what to look out for when using EnvatoElements videos and music on YouTube.
Notes on using Envato on YouTube
When used for opening or ending
Some people want to include an opening and ending video in every YouTube video.
In that case, you can use them as one project.
Once you have created an OP/ED video, you can continue to use it even after you cancel your EnvatoElements subscription.
If you want to change the OP video or other videos, you will need to re-register again.
Do I need to relicense Envato Elements assets for each episode when creating an intro/outro for YT videos?
No, provided you register the intro/outro as an End Product. If this is the case, you can use the same intro/outro for all episodes you create while your subscription is active and after your subscription ends without the need to relicense.

This is only applicable if your intro/outro remains unchanged. If you want to make any project changes, you will need to relicense the assets with an active subscription.
Will different videos on the same channel be different projects?
You can use EnvatoElements as a single project when used on the same channel.
In addition, videos that are clipped from a single finished video or a total compilation of multiple videos do not need to be made into a new project.
Even if you have cancelled your subscription, you can still submit the video as a new video.
Are edits or cuts of an existing End Product considered to be a new End Product?
Edits or cuts that are a subset of an existing registered End Product do not require re-registration as a new End Product, provided they are for the same client (if applicable) and fall within the scope of the same project registration you made earlier.

For example, a 30-second cut of a 2-minute video that was already registered for the same client who wants a shorter video for the same campaign is not a new End Product and does not require further registration.
Use of music that violates the license
Use of music should be used with caution.
Videos that viewers come to watch for the music may be in violation of the license.
The music must be used as part of the work.
You must make sure that the music cannot be extracted from the end product.
Can I use music items downloaded from the Envato Elements library in YouTube videos?
This depends on how the music is used in the YouTube video. The value of the End Product (i.e. the video) must not be predominantly derived from the music; instead, the value of the End Product must stem from the combination of the music and the visual (as well as any other elements). If it’s likely that people will be clicking on the video mainly to listen to the music, it is likely that this video is in breach of the license.
