A typical reaction video usually features someone watching a film clip\/YouTube video or experiencing an unusual product and reacting to it. This surprisingly simple video format has grown to become a huge hit, especially with the younger generation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, many creators feature copyright content in their reaction video, which may raise a few eyebrows. So here\u2019s the big question. Does a reaction video breach copyright laws?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The answer is, NO.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019re here to set the record straight and explain how easy it actually is to create reaction videos legally. Once you start creating them, you are going to simply fall in love with this classic style. Let\u2019s get you to master the process, and you&#8217;ll be ready to publish regular reaction videos in no time at all.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1) If you plan on creating reacting videos often, make a video repository where you can dump videos you might be interested in reacting to. Many YouTubers watch a reaction video for the first time while on camera, to make sure they capture the most candid reactions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Teens Watch &#039;90s Music Videos For The First Time\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/p65GwGNIJNM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2) Angle yourself to one side of your screen. Frame yourself to the left or right, wherever you\u2019re comfortable with. This should give you enough space to play your reaction video on the other corner.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Luna reacts to Cody Ko that&#039;s cringe Girl Defined and cries\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YxVSihpfMLQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3) Load the reaction video on your phone or computer. Remember to hide your device off the screen. Or you can choose to cover up your device by overlaying it with the reaction video in your editor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Koreans React To American PSAs That You Can Never Watch In Korea\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-3tl6T1nroU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4) Now there are two ways you can record the reaction video. You can play the reaction video and screen record it on your inbuilt phone screen recorder for Android or iOS. If you\u2019re using a computer to record, there are tons of free software like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.apowersoft.com\/free-online-screen-recorder\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apowersoft Free Online Screen Recorder<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> you can download.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How To Make Reaction Videos For Free In 2021 | Make Reaction Videos Using Screen Recording Method\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eotfhfbXEAM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5) Or you can download the reaction videos on your device. Copy and paste the reaction video&#8217;s URL into an online platform like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/yt1s.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">YT1s<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and just hit the download button. Downloading a video is the most viable option as you can avoid any buffering and ensure your video quality is top-notch.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Create a Reaction Video in Premiere\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6A2oK7GuP3Y?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6) Place your camera in front of you and record yourself reacting to the video. Be critical, give your feedback and don\u2019t hold back on displaying your emotions. People want big reactions, so show that you\u2019re shocked, appalled or thrilled. Subtle reactions could bore your viewers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"India Vs Australia: Team India WINS | REACTION!!\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Z7QfuAbQ2gs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7) Once you\u2019re done, open up your favourite video editor and overlay your reaction video over your recorded video. And that\u2019s it, you\u2019re done!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How To Make Reaction Videos (And How I Film\/Edit Mine)\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EYIt_G9Ny3w?start=347&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8) Once you upload your video, you\u2019re most likely going to get a copyrighted claim if you\u2019re not using videos with a Creative Commons license or Copyright free license. This means you will not be allowed to monetize your video. However, you can change this.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Head over to your YouTube analytics &gt; Hover over your video with the copyright claim and click on \u201csee details\u201d &gt; click on \u201cselect action\u201d and choose \u201cdispute\u201d from the dropdown options &gt; On the next window, click on \u201cfair use\u201d which means that you aren&#8217;t trying to claim the reaction video as your own work &gt; You should be taken to the \u201cprovide rationale\u201d section. Here, under the \u201ctype of fair use\u201d box, you are required to type \u201creaction video\u201d. &gt; In the next box, just type out two sentences to justify that you don\u2019t intend to claim the video as your own work, and that you\u2019re simply providing your opinions and feedback while reacting to the video &gt; Hit submit. Your dispute will be sent to review.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How To Make A Reaction Video WithOut CopyRight STRIKES\/CLAIMS!\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gh_UeqUM4L4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You will most likely be allowed to monetize your video but depending on the reaction video, you might have to share your revenue with the copyright owner. Or if the copyright owner does not allow it, you will be unable to monetize your video.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regardless, this is a legal and easy way to make reaction videos. Rest assured, you are protected under YouTube\u2019s Fair Use policy.
