Copyright protects how a work is expressed: its words, its layout, its pictures and its charts. It does not protect the ideas, facts or figures it describes. So there are two kinds of video. A redrawn video copies no text or images.

A video that shows your document's own pages and photos needs the right to adapt them. For a video that shows the document, your business needs to own it, pictures and charts included, or have the owner's permission. This is general information, not legal advice about your document. If your position is unusual, tell us when you order, and we will check it before we start.
