The goal of content producers in this digital age is to provide as many people as they can with engaging, valuable content. However, whether on design or by accident, they frequently encounter infringement issues when they use copyrighted music in their film.
Giving the copyright owner a limited amount of power because they can choose to block your video everywhere or only in some places, or they can choose to keep all of the revenue generated by the video. That's hardly what you would want to happen to your video, would you?
The most well-known video sharing website allows its users to remove the claimed section of the content from their videos in order to monetise the content provided. This is advantageous because a claim frequently only applies to a small portion of the film. The main message of the video might not be much affected by removing that small amount of content.
These Steps Will Help You Remove Claimed Content From Videos.
If a copyright claim has been filed against the video, there may be restrictions on its accessibility or whether it may be rendered monetizable.
Step 1: Log in to your YouTube Studio.
Step 2: Search for the video with the claimed copyrighted content by tapping the ‘Videos’ tab.
Step 3: Here, click on the ‘Copyright claim’ notice of the video and then tap on ‘See Details’.
Step 4: Now click on ‘Select action’.
Step 5: Decide whether to Mute the song, Replace the song, or Trim out the part.
Trim Out Segment
This section lets you edit out the piece of your video that got the copyright claim.
Step 1: Edit the start as well as end time of the section you are removing.
Step 2: Tap on ‘Continue’. Then ‘Trim’.
Step 3: Be patient and wait for the video to be processed. Depending on the video, this can take up to a few hours.
Replace Song:
You can replace any claimed music in your video with tracks from the YouTube Audio Library using this option.
Step 1: To find a new audio track, use the search filters. Tap on ‘Play’ to preview tracks.
Step 2: Click ‘Add’ when you find a song you like. It will appear in the editor in a blue box.
Step 3: To change when the song should start, click and drag the box.

Step 4: Then, to change the amount of the song that plays, drag the edges of the box.
Step 5: For more precise adjustments, use the zoom options.
Step 6: Click ‘Save’ and then ‘Replace’.
Step 7: Once the claimed audio is replaced, any restrictions on your video will be cleared.
Mute Song:
You can mute the claimed audio in your video with this option. You can decide whether to mute just the music or the entire video’s audio.
Step 1: Choose how you would like to mute: ‘Mute all sound when song plays’ or ‘Mute song only (beta)’.
Mute all sound when song plays: In the section of the video with the claimed audio, this option mutes all audio.
Mute song only (beta): This option mutes just the specified music. No other audio will be muted, such as dialogue or sound effects. If the song is challenging to delete, this edit will likely take longer and may not be successful.
Step 2: Edit the start and end time of the audio mute.
Step 3: If some of the claimed songs stay in your video, the claim won’t be released.
Step 4: In the video player, preview the edit.
Step 5: Tap on ‘Continue’ and then ‘Mute’. The edit will start processing.
