2 Find your film
The next step is to go to YouTube and find something you
want to download, for example by searching for “public domain”.
Here we’re going to download a clip where the copyright owner
has given us express permission; if you don’t know if you have
such permission, you should always assume that you haven’t.
Select the address in the Address Bar and copy it.
