How to Remove Copyright Claims on YouTube Videos in 2024
Over the past few years the problem of copyright claims on YouTube has kind of gone out of control especially when it comes to music.
The reason for that is that YouTube has been made to bear responsibility for copyright violations if it is shown they did not take reasonable steps to address the violation and in a timely manner.
So given the sheer enormity of the content on YouTube that exists already and is being uploaded daily, their approach is shoot first, ask questions later.
That way they are covered and damn everyone else.
On the other side of the coin is a very small collection of huge music copyright owners who are trying to protect their revenue by stopping unauthorized use through the use of “bot” or “crawlers” that seek out the use of their music.
Those automated systems are not set to exactly identify the use of a piece of music.
They are set to identify anything that is the same, similar or even remotely similar to their properties and automatically generate a copyright claim whether real or not.
The result they are looking for is that you either pay for the music if it is in fact theirs or, they get any revenue from the video through YouTube regardless of whether the music is actually theirs or not.
Their hope is that most people get freaked out by it all and don’t bother to question the claim.
Here’s how to deal with it.
DirectorSuite 2025 – AI Revolution for Creatives
This is a “showcase” video released by CyberLink last week covering most of the major A.I. features they have introduced to their software recently.
Calling it a revolution is maybe stretching things a tad for the sake of marketing!
At the moment most of the major video editing software companies are engaged in what seems to be an A.I. features war so it’s easy to get a bit lost on what’s going on!
My main piece of advice on anything A.I from anyone is that you give yourself a little time to come down from the “wow!” moment when you see what it does.
After that take a few minutes to actually ask yourself how or even if you would use that feature in your own work.
If you are anything like me the answer most often comes back as, “OK, it’s cool but I probably wouldn’t actually use it.”
The NO-FUSS Way to Add Automatic Subtitles to Your Videos – Movavi Video Suite
Subtitling used to be a royal pain in the butt very often involving somehow sourcing a transcript of your video through a separate service then manually adding the text as subtitles.
This was long, tedious and often not very accurate.
These days most decent video editing solutions have A.I driven subtitling of some kind.
In the video below you can see a demonstration of it done in the Movavi Video Editor.
Most of the other software iterations of this function look pretty much the same and the good news is that what was once a pain is not just a click!
Filmora 14 Tutorial For Beginners Part 3: Basic Editing Tools
This is Part Three of the series by Jacky covering the basics of working with Filmora 14.
Although Filmora 14 did not introduce any huge changes in the user interface, there are some new tools and settings most users may not be familiar with.
Because of that I have been posting each of these new beginner tutorials.
They are great for both existing users and those who are just starting out with the software.
How to Censor AND Highlight Information with Filmora 14 AI Features!
This is just a couple of run-throughs demonstrating some of the A.I. tools in Filmora 14.
These are basically “keying/masking” tools that allow you to isolate an object in a video then either remove it or manipulate it in some way.
These are functions that used to be dependant on either well set up green screening or meticulously drawn masks. Much easier these days!
5 EASY Steps For Sounding Better in Audacity
You can spend hours going through tutorials on the subject of cleaning up a voice track to make it sound better.
My take on it is to find a procedure that you feel comfortable using, gets you the results you want and then walk away without looking back.
It is an endless rabbit hole and there’s no point going down it!
Some say compress then EQ but others say the opposite, some say noise reduction then normalize while others say normalize then remove noise… I no longer care!
Here’s a relatively new strategy from Mike at Radio Creative… maybe it will work for you!
Either way he uses Audacity which is free so that’s gotta be a good thing.
100% Free AI tool to Convert Text to Speech Online
This is a very new and rather cool little tool that recently appeared in the A.I. space.
The site is called PopPop and you can use it to create voiceovers from text and a bunch of other things.
Most of the existing features are shown in the video below but they also have a few more things in the pipeline so it is probably worth following to see where it goes.
Eliminate Conflicts & Create Style for Vertical Video in DaVinci Resolve 19!
One of the real “time sucks” for when it comes to creating short form content on TikTik or @Threads or whatever is that text and visual effects are essential.
These types of videos have to be visually dynamic and very often convey a message in a very short amount of time.
Of course the answer to this is he addition of text and motion graphics. So far so good right!?
Unfortunately it is quite difficult to do this with any amount of certainty because of limited space in which all of your wizzbangery can appear!
What would really be handy would be a template that shows you exactly where everything is going to be when you upload it… check it out!
Make A Photo Look Like Footage with VFX! – DaVinci Resolve Tutorial
It’s been a few weeks since we had a tutorial from Casey Faris in the old Fusion Page of DaVinci Resolve so here we go!
This is a pretty handy one because it covers a couple of ways you can treat a still image so that it can be included in a video without looking totally out of place.
My favourite is the first one where you just expand the still image to fill the frame then add a tiny amount of “shake” effect to the shot.
Given that the still image is only onscreen for a tiny moment it covers the fact that it is a photo really well.
