The frustration of putting hours of work into a YouTube video only to have it flagged for using a copyrighted track can be excruciating for a content creator. Previously, creators had the option of muting all audio in the copyrighted segment or removing the copyrighted segment from the video altogether. It is not advisable to trim or mute important parts of the video in most cases because they can detract from the essence of the video. This may soon change with YouTube’s new AI eraser tool.
YouTube has released an updated tool to help creators remove copyrighted music from their videos without impacting other audio. This new “Copyright Cleaner” tool uses AI to detect and delete just the copyrighted music, leaving dialogue and effects untouched.
In the past, content creators faced losing important parts of their videos if they received copyright claims. They had to mute entire segments or delete them, taking away from the experience. YouTube’s Copyright Cleaner changes that. It allows creators to remove the problem track alone through a simple tool.
The AI was tested extensively to perform this delicate task. While it may not work for every situation, it saves many videos that would have been altered or removed before. Content creators now have an easy way to dispute claims and keep their full videos online.
YouTube notes the tool’s limits but says it helps more than previous options. With a click, audiences can now enjoy creator’s videos without interruptions from muted or missing parts. YouTube’s Copyright Cleaner is a welcome update for all who make entertaining, informative content on the platform.
