I have been GMing Pathfinder for about a month now and the transition from 3.5 has been incredibly smooth. On occasion however I've run into new rules because I haven't yet read the core rulebook completely and every now and then I learn something I didn't completely understand in 3.5.
Just reading the rules, however, is only going to help me to know where they are in the book. I would like to reference the book less frequently, but still make quick decisions within the confines of the rules. I am actually pretty good at this but often, after a session, I look up the actual rules for a given situation and find that my ruling was perhaps a little complicated or overly simple.
I was thinking that it would help me out to make videos explain the rules and perhaps giving examples of the rules in action.
I would be more interested in doing this if I could post my videos on YouTube where others could benefit from my videos.
I wouldn't, however, want to work hard on making a video that I was told to take down do to copyright violations.
Could I make such a video using only open content?
What guidelines would I have to follow to make sure that my video was compliant with the open content?
Is this just plain a bad idea?
Why, I think its a great idea you should do it!

If you could make each YouTube video with only yourself cast as GM, player, etc and then jump around to you talking to yourself in different outfits/fake mustaches/accents...I would watch it even if there was no rules questions answered because it'd be awesome.

Just don't use any Pathfinder artwork that isn't found on the official website. That stuff isn't OGL like nearly all the rules are.
(Oh, and it sounds like a good idea. I certainly hope you are a good presenter.)

Sounds good to me... just head on over to our Community Use Policy for the "do"s and "do-not"s.
Make sure to post back on here to let everyone know when and where we can view these!
I look forward to this.
Great idea, keep us posted!

Well, I'm an actor and I HATE grainy YouTube videos where someone is talking to you whilst leaning forward in there chairs.
I can't guarantee the sound quality but you will be able to hear me and I will be clear and precise.

Get the sound right. In my experience, people will watch a video with crappy resolution. They won't watch a video with crappy audio.
Well, all I really have is a ROCKBAND mic. No pop guard or anything.
