Other YouTube music protection

[KTM434]

I've made 2 videos now and can't post on YouTube due to the song selection. I used Vimeo for my last video but they kill the clarity of the picture and have a limit for file size. I don't want to keep spending $1.29 on songs just to find out it won't work. Are there any tricks to finding out which songs have no copyright royalty protection? I'm sure remixes are safe but I'm spending just as much time searching for a song as I did editing the whole video. Figured some of the more experienced youtubers could help a brother out

i think you can load the video under a certain classification to avoid that. i havent had a problem yet. just not sure which one lol.

Classification like sports, entertainment, etc.? Entertainment is the default and I didn't change that part...
It just sucks cuz I can't just pick a song I like that goes well with the video, seems like i have to just search for some remix. I'm not willing to keep buying songs just to try. I listen to Pandora all day and don't buy music so this is strictly purchased for each video.

They kicked mine out also, but then they asked if it was purchased and if I own the song, after agreeing that I purchased the song they let it go through.

huh. i just load off my itunes into imovie, most are downloaded off file sharing sites, so i can understand paying for it blows.

My first video so far went up just fine. I classed it under sports, and gave full acknowledgement to the band with a web link to their site in the video description. I think that is the important part Youtube looks for, disclosure that the music (when it applies) belongs to the originator of it and is not your intellectual property. I think I may have even read that at some point on Youtube as a requirement.

I may have just picked a bad song. I wrote "all material is the copyrighted propert of its owner(s)". Then I even gave credit to the actual owners of the copyrighted song and still no luck. The video posted to YouTube but said "not available in this country"

I've had issues with songs being kicked on youtube, and did a little research. It seems that certain record labels have revenue deals with youtube that will allow their artist's music to be played on other peoples videos and others don't. The companies that don't have a deal with youtube allowing their content to be used are the ones that require youtube to boot your video's music. I use vimeo music store, and then search for songs with a "creative commons-attribution only" liscence, this is supposed to allow you to monetize your videos if you give the artist the required credit in your descripton, but hasnt been 100% perfect in practice; and finding good songs has been dificullt. Getting good music on my videos and keeping them monetized has been tough. If you look at the last video i posted here,( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQi_pxOns2E ) I did a lot of work to try and get decent music that i thought fit all criteria, and youtube still wouldn't monetize my video. Lately Ive been thinking about looking at a beat making program of some kind, or looking for a local artist to work with. Hope this helps... Im interested to see if anyone elses has any ideas on the subject too

I've noticed Dubstep music and dance/club seems to fly with YouTube probably since there are so many remixes and DJ type stuff. Not sure why but it now makes sense why so many videos use that music. I like all different types of music so I can deal with that but it would be nice to just pick whatever you want

I've never tried this personally but here is a possible work around. The problem I believe, is the files you've payed to download have been soiled by DRM.

It's worth a shot to make a new generation of the file with a program that doesn't recognize DRM and doesn't stamp it on the new generation.

So it might be worth giving this a shot:

Download Reaper. http://www.reaper.fm/

Insert the song file in to it. Then render the entire project as a new wav file. Name it "song_name_for_vid" or something so you know this is the new file. Maybe it will bypass the DRM for you and you can have your video with that song without youtube automatically rejecting it. Wether this will work or not, I don't know. I've never tried.
