How to insert screenshot disclaimer? How not to get sued?

[XMonarchY]

I made a video about an epic shitstorm that happened at work, but the video is just custom subtitles + the laughing man (El Risistas) YouTube video. The one and only name used is fake.

I want to insert a black screen (screenshot) with a disclaimer, such as: "Neither this video nor the subtitles to it are a depiction of real-life events. The content of this video is completely fictional and any resemblance to any existing people, companies, or entities of any kind is purely coincidental and non-intentional."

How do I do that? Should I also include anything else in that disclaimer? I'm not a lawyer...

I'm not a lawyer either, but I'm pretty sure you can't just claim it's not based on real life events when it is, so there's no point putting the disclaimer on there at all.

I don't even know what you'd get sued for, if anything, but lying in the disclaimer wouldn't help.

OK, but how would I insert a screenshot?

RequiredFramecount=100
TXT="Some text\nSome More Text\nAnd yet some more text\n"
MODULO=4

V=colorbars
#V=Avisource("D:\SomeVideo.avi")

V=V.Crop(0,0,V.Width/MODULO*MODULO,V.Height/MODULO*MODULO) # EDIT: Ensure modulo MODULO W,H
V=V.ConvertToYV12

K=V.BlankClip(Length=RequiredFramecount).
K=K.Subtitle(TXT,Size=48,lsp=0,align=5) # Maybe add arg Y=100 (or whatever top relative vertical offset you like)

K ++ V # start with text, add video

return last


EDIT: OR

RequiredFramecount=100
MODULO=4

V=colorbars()
#V=Avisource("D:\SomeVideo.avi")

V=V.Crop(0,0,V.Width/MODULO*MODULO,V.Height/MODULO*MODULO) # EDIT: Ensure modulo MODULO W,H
V=V.ConvertToYV12

I=ImageSource(".\DQ-Tools.jpg",end=0) # In current directory
I=I.Spline36Resize(V.Width,V.Height).ConvertToYV12 # same as video # EDIT: change to resize first

K=V.BlankClip(Length=RequiredFramecount)
K=K.Overlay(I) # Make req length clip with similar silent audio

K ++ V # start with image, add video

return last

I have no idea what any of that means...

OK, dont worry bout it.

He's showing how to do it using AviSynth. I'd do it in a similar way. In addition, you can do the job using any NLE. If you have no idea what that means either, maybe you should give up on the idea.
