Hi Jonathan,

Take a look at:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal:Trademark_guidelines#Publications

I think a video would be a publication, and provided you followed the
guidelines therein, you should be ok.
So in short, I don't think you need permission. Regardless, I hope
that you publish your work under a libre license and would love to
view it.
