As-salaamu `alaykum wa-ramatullahi wa-barakatuh.
You should enquire from the seniors in reference if the video is copyright or not. If it is copyright, you cannot sell it.[1] If it is not copyright, you should refrain from selling the videos due to it having animate pictures in it. Alternatively you may convert the video into an audio recording and you may sell it. In that instance your income will be halaal.
And Allah Ta`ala Knows Best.
