YouTube is one of the most popular social media platforms nowadays. Therefore, copyright issues are also a common challenge on YouTube.
Among the millions of videos shared on YouTube are copyrighted materials like images, videos, and music. Some content creators use copyrighted materials without proper permission. Copyright is one of the critical areas in which if a video contains something that violates it, the video can be marked, demonetized, or even deleted from the site.
Therefore, this has been a significant challenge to the content creators. This is where YouTube’s new and improved eraser tool comes into play!
YouTube’s new eraser tool for creators, launching on July 4th, is a game-changer. It doesn’t just remove copyrighted music from your videos, it empowers you to do so while keeping all other types of audio, such as dialogue and sound effects, intact. It’s a tool that puts you in control of your content.
YouTube’s chief has revealed this tool on X and said, “Good news, creators: our updated Erase Song tool helps you easily remove copyright-claimed music from your video (while leaving the rest of your audio intact).”
The new tool’s specialty is using an algorithm to detect the copyrighted part and remove it without affecting other audio in the video clip. While YouTube acknowledges that the algorithm might not be perfect, it’s designed to be highly effective. This reassurance should give you confidence in using the tool.
“This edit might not work if the song is hard to remove. If this tool doesn’t successfully remove the claim on a video, you can try other editing options, such as muting all sound in the claimed segments or trimming out the claimed segments”.
Creators can mute audio with copyright issues. After the creator edits the video, YouTube removes the copyright claim.
