Jude 2

Sort of.

Pastor Garys post with movia trivia etc reminded me of a resource for
ministries.

As more and more Churches have started using video clips to enhance sermons, the need for copyright permissions has increased.

In the the past CCLI provided Copyright license for churches. Prices varied depending on size of church.

But this gave you permission for words to song.

If you are projecting words to songs (that you do not own) using a projector/overhead device and do not have a CCLI license, you are breaking copyright laws. Period.

Now CCLI has added Video to its resources.

CVLI

If you are using video clips from movies then you need to purchase a CVLI license.

Writing all this to get to Screenvue.

Screenvue is resource to help ministries find video clips that they can use in there sermons.

Screenvue basic is included in the CVLI license.
Not only will screenvue provide you with a suggestion of a clip but they have hundreds ready to download to your computer.

I am not the Copyright police.

Just sharing some info.

great reminder Billy! we have both, now. added CVLI last year. At the time I also subscribed to the screenvue. but after a year of not really having much usefulness in screenvue, decided to not renew that subscription. if they had more clips to download, and if when trying to download, it would actually work more often, I may have stayed.

about 1 in 25 or so "hits" of the screenvue search was for a clip they had. so when I wanted to download, I had to retry every single time I tried to download. if I kept at it, I would get the clip, but never on the first try. maybe because of my ISP connection, I don't know, either way, it just wasn't worth the hassle, as I have a database of my DVD's at home anyway and can search them directly for stuff. not the same kind of search, but since I am familiar with what I already have, it is not too difficult to search the 500 or so DVD'd i have. especially since if I ever wanted a clip to use, the chances are that I have to use my own DVD anyway, and that's only if I own it already.

so yes, still have the CCLI and CVLI, for licensing/viewing rights, but personally found screenview to be of little use.
