Okay, my first three feedbacks.


1. I uploaded an image just fine. This image was added to the end of the 
video automatically (I could not put it elsewhere). I had no other 
choice than cc by sa as a licence. The image may have been cc by sa... 
or something else... so I may have infringed the original licence. I had 
no field where I could add the source or name of the author. So, 
ultimately, I did not respect the licence of the image. I apology to the 
author.

2. I tried to remix the video. When I clicked on remix, I found myself 
in front of the "add to this video" system. I was never able to remix, 
nor to see a history of the entire video.

3. I decided to go back to the main video to click again on the remix 
button. It crashed my browser and I lost the roughly 30 pages which were 
opened.

That ended my experience with it.
