Use of a video taken in public without releases from EVERYONE involved is risky. People have a right from preventing their likeness from being used for commercial purposes. State law governs the exact terms of the law, so you would have to consult an attorney in Oregon about whether the individuals shown in the video would have the ability to stop you from using their images.

You cannot use it with confidence that you will not be sued. If you use anyone's photograph (video or still) for trade or commercial purposes without their consent, you need their permission. The only way around this is to use portions of the video where no faces are recognizable or are blurred out.
