YouTube New Feature Help Creators Remove Copyrighted Music

YouTube is launching an improved feature designed to make life easier when it comes to creators dealing with copyright claims over music used in videos. The company announced that it’s going to launch a new and improved “erase song” tool, which is aimed at assisting creators in removing copyrighted music from parts of videos without touching the rest.

When creators get a copyright claim for music used in videos, YouTube provides options for creators to trim out the section affected or replace the copyrighted song with an approved track from its audio library. Be that as it may, creators cannot be able to monetize the video until the copyright claim is resolved. Although it had been testing the “erase song” tool a while ago, the platform did realize that the accuracy of this tool was not great. So the engineers at YouTube redesigned this tool and infused it with an AI-driven algorithm to ensure that copyrighted music tracks were removed more appropriately from videos.

Though it’s going to be highly capable, YouTube says the tool won’t always be infallible. Sometimes there are songs that are very hard to eradicate, most probably because of the quality of the audio or overlapping sounds. In such a scenario, they will have to find other means to work around these songs. Other than erasing or replacing the copyrighted music, creators can now mute particular parts of their videos using an updated erase tool.

An enhanced “erase song” tool is nearly here for YouTube Studio, which will facilitate a more efficient and effortless way to resolve music copyright issues in videos for creators. The development further underlines how the video-sharing platform works in the interest of creators for a 360-degree creation experience.
