New YouTube Update - Easy Way to Removing Copyright Claims

[@CountryMotivation]

I really rejoiced when I heard this new update. Big ups KZbin!

[@happycorn3r]

Done Please ❤✅

[@operator_enzo2.0]

If KZbin realises updates that help contents creators then I'm all for it

[@happycorn3r]

Done Please 🖤✅

[@harrysahota_hh]

I participated in beta testing for this feature and encountered some glitches, which I reported. The most common issue was repetitive audio; for example, if the background music exceeded 30 seconds, it would cause the audio to repeat for the rest of the video. Additionally, there were frequent instances where the audio would muffle the words, making them sound robotic. I hope these issues have been resolved now.

[@PokidotGamer898]

I actually love this update. It's gonna help a lot with copyrighted music. Now all we need is an age restriction update to where it gives us the section that's age restricted and let's us cut out that section or blur whatever youtube doesn't like so we can be able to actually follow the rules without making more mistakes due to not knowing what age restricted our videos. I haven't been age restricted yet thank goodness, but if they could add an update where we can cut/blur out anything that youtube age restricts in our videos to fix our mistakes then I think we're set. I applaud youtube for this copyright update. Helps us creators tremendously!

[@UltimatePerfection]

The chad risked a copystrike for us.

[@AngryConeMan]

[@JonnoPlays]

Copyright and a strike are not the same thing. A strike is a serious issue that results in a take down request. If you get 3 of these your channel is deleted automatically. Copyright on music is not a strike.

[@hellkisser]

It's copyright claim, not a strike

[@SmartokosonTv124]

They should help reduce copyright strikes for us. And also they should be checking on reused contents not only when you want to monetize your channel they will come up with the issues of you are using reused contents. They should be checking it at the beginning not at the end of your monetization.

[@UltimatePerfection]

@@hellkisser yeah, but it could easily end up being a strike if the company behind specific track turns out to be an a-hole.

[@Sportify-g6b]

Nice updates Who else feel KZbin is like a rollercoaster ride one day you feel happy other day sad and it keeps repeating All the best everyone ❤

[@factsprincipal]

Absolutely right

[@Cranbearry_YouTube]

Thanks, you too!

[@serahdonald]

Yes please

[@tgiangameplay]

You are absolutely right! Its a Rollercoaster!

[@TheShadowLordGaming]

yep especially that monetization requirements it's so hard to even get noticed these days.

[@hektortalks]

KZbin should also check and inform creators of their videos violate any of their policies immediately. It's so frustrating after spending years trying to get monetized only to be told your channel or video violated a policy after hitting the requirements. That so discouraging

[@CommanderShadowLord]

Yes and exactly what the violation was. I run a airsoft channel and I see so many in my niche not getting ad-revenue sometimes and KZbin is so vague on why. Gun channels get hit really bad by this because YT mostly just shrugs their shoulders and goes I dunno what happened woopsie don't do it again. -"Do what again?"

Well, if they tell you, you will know. That's what they don't want.

[@KaptenLiong]

the new update is actually good

[@CaliKim29]

Impressive. KZbin be trying that's for sure -

[@ssimplybeautiful]

Erase song option is awesome. Already used it in old video right after update as it was background music in a speech audio that was in public domain and free for commercial use but the song brought video copyright claim.

[@RelaxingReality]

AND, when you use the Erase Song feature KZbin won’t degrade your video. For example, if your video was 4K HDR, it will remain 4K HDR after it is applied. This will definitely save time having to re-edit, re-upload and wait for KZbin to fully process the video in HDR for channels that upload HDR content. 🙌

[@basedcommentor]

Cool. Where's the feature to help combat comment bots? Or the feature to reduce copyright abuse?

[@Kirkyeehee]

This person is asking all the right questions.

[@MotivationMasterpieces555]

Nice update, Thanks for sharing 👍💪

[@johnnieandmillie]

Thanks for the review of this feature. To me personally - it does destroy the quality of audio quite seriously… I would rather spend time to re-edit and re-upload the video without the copyrighted song

[@AnjaRamaroson]

Agreed with you, if it's a small vit it should be fine but I am not sure I would watch a full video with this quality

[@AdventureswithFalcor]

Great update! I’ve only been copyrighted in other regions (Russia, China) so it’s not very extreme, but the feedback is helpful to improve content moving forward. This feature will assist with that. Wish IG would implement the same policy. A popular song (Funny Song) in my niche (family friendly dog videos) was removed from the platform entirely. Now all the reels I posted with that song have no audio whatsoever. They will let you replace the song with another, but they clearly state the original speaking audio will be overwritten. This is devastating for a channel/account that showcases a ‘talking’ dog! And gives the appearance that I/creators are uploading footage with no audio. With over 500 vids posted, now nearly half of them have no audio whatsoever on IG! 😫 Glad YT is addressing this issue for the betterment of helping creators improve content!

[@JediPhoenix1976]

I've got a video from last year that's blocked in some countries because of copyrighted material; this update could be a hell of a first aid patch for it. I'll have to try it out.

[@warofthereviews3322]

I had the same issue the other day with my trailer review. I did not want to go back and edit out the music, it would have taken sound from the trailer itself and ruined the video.

[@Bestravelvideo]

Well done! That was a good example that everyone can understand! The tech behind it is not new, the YT implementation is. For many years, we could almost do that even with the pre-Atmos era of home cinema amplifiers, or PC software. It's a combination of psychoacoustics and frequency removal. Being a video editor by profession, I have a bold suggestion to make: Why doesn't Google allow us to export a mixed audio video but with separate audio channels? Please hear me out, as this could have two benefits: First, you could use the online editor to remove and replace the audio segment in dispute. Secondly, Google could use its AI magic to audio translate and narrate the vocals to another language, like they promised they would do in the future. I come from the Broadcast TV era of Betacam analogue videos where we used to get four split audio channels to dub original audio, that's why I understand how easy that could be. There is a drawback though. Such a thing might give an advantage to those who know how to edit and export split audio.

[@playtimecity]

I would just re-render. Audio quality is important… it trumps loading schedule.

[@RapidsReloaded]

I could hear something was off with the audio from your usual videos but it wasn't horrible. I think it could be a useful tool especially if you are filming at events and theres music in the background.

[@MulehornGaming]

This is a massive win for creators. Great move by KZbin.

[@5minutesoflol35]

In a last few years KZbin made a lot of great decisions for creators and I am really glad for that. Helped my channel a lot.

[@casualslotz]

yeah this is a game changer, i stream/record where copyright could hurt my video im intrigued to see how this works in the future for my video/stream, we all try are best not to have music in are video/streams but sometimes there's no way to avoid it so maybe this can/could help us with this, thanks for posting this didn't know this was a new update till now

[@MyComfortDiary]

thanks for 41 subscribers! Loads of love 😍

[@RadicalElder]

First time I've seen a test of this and it was at least usable. Can't complain about that.

[@CreativeThinking52]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Have an amazing day. 🎉😊👍

[@vidIQ]

You too!

[@LXeditz101]

Yo can you give me some tips on how to improve my shorts i am asking around trying to improve

[@Scoozywithuzi]

LET’S GO KZbin!!!

[@creartivebynature]

I think it's a great update. Now, if they would add a text feature so we can add text if needed after videos have been uploaded and published. That would be very helpful!!

[@BulmaSoft]

Yea, real great update from KZbin... Amazing that on the other hand - giving the option for the thumbnail on Shorts is such a "hard requirement" for KZbin....

[@RNGaming025]

It would be great if KZbin let us mute the copyrighted part and revoice over for clear and best audio 🤔

[@vidIQ]

That would be good...

[@Sifinds]

My advise to others… don’t be lazy, make your own music or buy music for a few quid that won’t get you a strike.

[@TravisVarga]

The audio at the intro doesn't sound too shabby at all considering what KZbin had to do to get it there..but I'm sure your 'source' was epic audio. So it is as good as it will get most likely (for now) - without creating an enhanced new voice to replace or something. Thanks for everything you do VidIQ.

[@PulpVision]

That Avengers theme is the GOAT cinema scores!

[@misslinecraft]

agreed

[@TheGamerWannabe]

I've had this option to just remove the music for well over a year maybe even 2 years and the few times i have checked the results it just sounds like they changed the volume a bit as if it goes up and down a little sometimes i can even still slightly still hear the music for a sec and it might lower other sounds just a bit for a sec but I've never heard it make it sound all static

[@WarmTreacle]

Sounds good 👍 just started my channel a week ago good luck folks 😊

[@PassiveIncomeJourney777]

Thanks for the update. Good news

[@wytdyk]

Very good update! It's just unacceptable a music creator gets 100% of your ad revenue for just 15 secs of music in your 15 minute video. I hope they will get much less stolen ad revenue with this feature.

[@streetwheelz1]

The audio is - as you also say - acceptable. Yes, it is better than reupload it. By the way, I am wondering when they will roll out the multi language dubbing option which also would be a helpful tool.

[@akawilly]

When KZbin called this a new feature I was like, huh? I already used this tool about 6 months ago on a stream. Maybe I was lucky and got a beta access to this feature?

[@uhohhotdog]

You probably did. They always beta test stuff before releasing

[@ADinoNerdXD]

lucky

[@vidIQ]

Probably:)

[@PKDoomy]

@@vidIQ I went from 5k views a day to 0 all of sudden, I'm still posting the same content/style. Almost 0 impressions for the past 5 days I have no idea. My video have over 50% avd and pretty good ctr 5-33%. Any ideas or suggestions?

[@vidIQ]

We got you!

[@dartsngear]

works good and is option no.1 now, when I get copyright claims even for video(music) that was published months ago and totally fine, but now gets claimed and demonetized. One button ... a littlebit of silence in the sequence or kind of "AI music" with some glitches of notes coming through. But for older videos better then deleting, re-rediting & re-uploading.

[@DerrickCByron]

Thanks brother 🤜🔥🤛

[@DJWHITE_]

[@beastgaming1644]

[@tommytib_Festivals_and_Faires]

Sounds good on my phone.

[@kaushikrb]

All the new small channels best of luck on the journey!!

[@dragonflygameruk4094]

No the audio after the music was removed was not perfect, but was it acceptable? If the alternative is re-editing rendering and uploading then I think yes it does an adequate job. As someone else mentioned, any tools that help us creators have to be a bonus. Keep it up KZbin 👍

[@LondonMap]

Hello Rob, thank you for your information about this new update :)))))

[@TheGumbootGarden]

This is a great update! I JUST checked on sorting a video like this the other day and was wishing it was an option! 🥳 The audio sounds good to me, wouldn’t have noticed if you didn’t say.

[@themirrorbeauty]

[@Jennybeautyempire]

What about KZbin dispute when you receive a copyright claim Kindly reply In a situation where the erase song and replace song is not available

[@TheGhostNotePodcast]

As a KZbin music reaction channel…. All I do is cry 😢😢😢😭😭😭😭😭

[@Snappy_Live]

Still a better choice to remove the audio yourself in your editing software. I was about to click off at the start until I realised it was intentional.

[@1111UrLight]

I've been using this feature in my videos without realizing it was new. It works great, but sometimes removing specific parts of the music while keeping others is weird. I've found that lowering the background music volume slightly helps KZbin pass the check.😝

[@GeekDetour]

This is a great tool. I hope I never need to use it (that's why I pay Epidemic Sound) - but if, for any reason, there was same famous s#&! song playing on my neighbour's house and it was captured by my microphones and I didn't realise, yeah, it's good to be able to save the video without destroying or deleting it. This is what AI is for: to perform technical miracles, not to substitute us.

[@MedigapSeminars]

Wow, they did a good job with this tool.

[@YukinoToki]

A truly amazing update! As for the audio, its definitely muffled and a bit grainy. But if I had to picked muffled to heck vs no audio at all, I'll take muffled any day.

[@Ryan_Wiseman]

This'll help put more to the end of content owning networks able to profit off of creators w/ zero recourse for the creator, and I'm all happy for a tool like this to exist.

[@FarizMorib]

@@Ryan_Wiseman yupb

[@drivingdaily582]

This is cool, a lot of times im filming at a car event or in public and someone is playing music loudly and I either have to silence my audio in the video and add music or just not film ... Cheers everyone!

[@harveywetdog]

I’ve used the tool a few times now and overall I’m disappointed. Too often it seems to default to Mute All Sound which makes it pretty pointless. It has worked in some cases and left me with pretty reasonable sound for outside. There was one case where it left me with a drum or bass beat which I think was coming from one of the PA speakers across the arena so there was a slight time shift. 4/10 could do better

[@OaktownBricks]

Great Video! This is definitely a really cool new feature!

[@MrBlackCheesus]

Your voice was angelic as always don't worry! 👼

[@vidIQ]

[@TheBirdBrigade]

Great video, keep up the good work...🙏🙏

[@ecopennylife]

I approve of this feature, my annoyance is filming the start of a sporting event & they always have copyright music blasting in the background 😊

[@Zachary3DPrints]

I had exactly this thing happening on the day of the release from your video. Since I had Davinci still open, I choose Epidemic Sound music instead of the Streambeats music from Harris Heller. I did try the KZbin feature, but that didn't sound nice at all

[@LeafShowing]

i also got a copyright claim like this, and all I did was lower the volume of the music a bit, and I didn't get a copyright claim. But this feature is really awsome.

[@Avocado_Pizza]

Would be even better if we could increase/lower the volume of the audio AFTER the video has been uploaded. It's such a basic feature that I don't understand why it's still not there

[@fbymarketing]

It sounded pretty good. It's not perfect, but it's a workable solution. Great video showcasing the before-and-after!

[@acewisdom6]

There should be a tool to pre-upload videos to check for copyright materials prior to uploading the actual video on KZbin…

[@The_StoryGamer]

This is awesome update !! do we know when it would be available ? 😄

[@Tamiil]

Wasn't this a thing years ago? I remember using it on my Battlefield 4 videos and it sounded just like this - crap. Looks like they just brought back an old feature and didn't improve upon it whatsoever.

[@OctagonalSquare]

This is pretty cool. And the audio quality will only get better as they work on the tool

[@warofthereviews3322]

Luckily when I did my trailer review the other day, i was “partially-blocked.” I had never heard of this before. I guess the music within the movie trailer is allowed in some countries, but not others. If it had been fully blocked, this option would have been nice. It could save people from fully deleting or having to go back into their programs to made edits. If I come across this sometime, It will be nice to use. Thank you for the video and information!

[@Flowfn17]

Your channel helped me a lot I’m already nearly at 400 subs! Thanks vidiq❤

[@plus1creator]

Clever way to illustrate the point. +1 point to the editor!

[@doughnutzzzlover1502]

Revenue sharing option is better as replacing music or muting makes the video something different than what was actually made. I tried this new feature, but it still leaves a portion of the sound though the claim is eliminated. In one case the music could not be erased fully and video did not sound appealing and copyright remained. In that case original video with copyright is better. As the original content with matching music was the whole essence of the video. Music enhances the experience of the video which we must admit. So they should share the revenue rather than demonitize it.

[@arnoldbuzdygan]

Yes. They should finally divide the revenues between sound and image creators. Right now, the privileging of music is a scandal.

[@offthechainfitness]

I suggested this years ago to KZbin, I also have copyright solutions that’ll stop the need to strike someone. My idea is so revolutionary that the 3 strike system will vanish instantly.

[@arnoldbuzdygan]

Why don't they allow uploading files with multiple audio tracks? Then the music could be placed on separate channels.

[@AirlinerHistory]

I had it help me on one video, where I didn't have any speech anyways to possibly affect, and I learned not tuse that song without affecting my future monetization for similar videos

[@forgotmypassport]

Sounds alright, especially considering the other options 👍

[@Akio_keshin]

I mean sure its muffled now but imagine where this can lead too once its fully figured out and random licensed song jump scares wont be happening to content creators and so long as audience accepts it saves a ton of time from the claim process as explained in the vid thank you for informing us.

[@ByteSizeNet]

Only 1,500 more watch hours, and I'll be eligible for monetization!

[@12volt]

Eyup Rob , I found this yesterday and as I have just made monetization I have already used it on some of my early uploads , with pretty much the same results as your good self ! A bit of fine tuning by the guys and girls at youtube and this will be an awesome tool . OH and BTW any ideas why i'm seeing my own playlists on my home page ? 👍

[@secretarchivesofthevatican]

The beginning audio had some high-end frequencies missing - it lacked definition so maybe some mids too. For speech, it was acceptable.

[@MTKDofficial]

Sounded really good to me. On a MacBook Pro.

[@SunnyASMR777]

Really!!! This is good news for all creators. All the best creators

[@LibertyMediaArts]

That's actually pretty cool lol. I'm glad KZbin made a tool that people can really use.

[@ParkBroz]

We have been using this for about 2 weeks and it’s been great!

[@OmniMediaLtd]

Im ngl, I hope KZbin keeps this update and doesn't even change the audio to sound better. It's like a funny little meta where you instantly know that someone tried to get away with using copyrighted music but youtube said SIKE GIMME DAT AUDIO BOI and it left it as it is.

[@AnimainiacMV]

I've been using this tool yesterday, never realized it was new. It's not perfect but its useful😅👌

[@Hubb990]

this is cool! also is there any news regarding community space?

[@foobeee]

This is a really good feature, they should keep it and keep working on it so that audio sounds better

[@akashsharmavideos]

Hey, can we earn thru using green screen feature plus completing the KZbin Earning Criteria? Does Green Screen feature count as revenue?

[@bosrecreationalmining]

A little muddy but not bad really considering what it's doing. It sounds like it's just subtracting out the pattern that uses to recognize it in the first place and doing some amplitude adjustments and phase adjustments along the way..

[@TheShadowLordGaming]

The audio isn't great but at least it's not copyrighted. I recommend everyone to wait at least a day or two before publishing so the copyright checker can go through. If it's music you have used before you shouldn't have any issues just uploading it. If your unsure on it's copyright status I'd wait so you can just reupload and delete the old draft/unlisted video. This is usually how I get around copyright on my YT channels I typically use music on my airsoft channel. I have some that I've missed in the past but I find waiting is usually the best option. For my gaming channel I typically que 2-3 videos on my channel so I can upload on a regular basis for my audience but that may be difficult depending on the niche and editing amount required. My airsoft channel for instance takes longer to edit and sometimes I go and do some research for a video.

[@GeneralLee257]

Assuming good thumbnail, title and description with key words and used tags, how long does it take youtube to give a new channel impressions?

[@vjmcn.america2130]

This is a great update, especially if you post live events where the music being played is incidental and beyond your control
