I’m wanting to use clips from some game for a Youtube video. I’m unsure if this is legal, though. Would using downloaded clips infringe any copyright laws if used for non-profit reasons and only to make a Youtube video?
Hmm, so your question is this:
"Can I use something that belongs to someone else, without their permission?"
Just think on it for a few minutes. Maybe the answer will come to you.

No, you’re not making any money off it, so I’m pretty sure it’s legal.

In theory it’s illegal BUT most big companies don’t really care about "fan work" just search any big movie in YouTube (like movie "300" and you’ll find hundreds of movie fan videos). And some companies even see it as free advertising (as log as you make them look good).
Just make sure to follow the rule that if the copyright owner ask you to remove the video you must do it as fast as possible.
Now about that theory that "not making money make it legal" that’s 100% FALSE, it’s copyright violation even if you don’t make a cent out of it, (people don’t make money by downloading music files, but still it’s illegal).
