I'm not sure which license you would need or what the fee would be for your use. Each microstock site is a bit different and most would have the fee structure and use permit descriptions listed on their site.

Most likely you're ok.  No different from showing a commercial with an image in it, really.

Agreed.  I've used microstock images in Photoshop tutorials.  You should also post a link to the image in the tutorial description as people often like to follow along with the same image.  This can also be a good way to get the odd referral free.  Not worth your time for making the tutorial but a nice little added bonus if you're going to add the link anyhow.

I do not intend to  use STOLEN stock photos on youtube.I want to buy pictures from stock.All i want to know is if the Standard License cover the use of photos on Youtube
P.S     SS answer: "The Standard License 25-A-Day and Images On Demand allow the use of
Shutterstock images for up to a total of 250,000 views. The Enhanced License
allows unlimited views."...So i have found my answer:)

Really: so if you buy a photo for a website on SS, you're supposed to monitor page views?
Wonder how many buyers know that!
