Author for screenshots

Who is considered to be the "author" of a screenshot of a video, the one who takes the screenshot or the one who makes the video? As such, is it required that video screenshots licensed under fair use say who did the screenshot? — ShadowHalo 20:24, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

The video and any derivative still images are copyrighted by the creator of the video. You do need a source for the screenshot though. Please make sure any screenshots of copyrighted videos adhere to all the criteria at WP:FUC. If you have any questions as to whether they do feel free to ask them here. - cohesion 22:49, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
