Creators on YouTube can now delete copyrighted music from their videos

Neal Mohan introduced YouTube's AI tool designed to assist creators in managing copyrighted music by maintaining audio integrity and supporting monetization. According to the support page, the tool provides options such as muting, trimming, or replacing songs. Despite its limitations, the AI tool effectively handles Content ID claims, ensures video viewability, and facilitates monetization, as outlined by YouTube, owned by Google.

YouTube has announced a new eraser tool for creators, which allows them to remove copyrighted music from their videos without affecting other audio, enabling them to continue monetizing their content without the need for takedowns.

The announcement came from YouTube's chief, Neal Mohan, in a post on X.

He mentioned in the post, "Great news for creators: our enhanced Erase Song tool allows you to effortlessly remove copyright-claimed music from your video, while preserving the rest of your audio."

According to a support page from the company, "If your video has a Content ID claim, there might be limitations on where the video can be viewed or if it can be monetized. To eliminate the claim and its related restrictions, you can edit out the claimed content without needing to upload a new video."

New Youtube audio Erase Tool leverages AI power

Mohan also released a video explaining how the tool works and why it's important for YouTube. The Google-owned company noted that the previous version of the eraser tool had difficulty accurately removing copyrighted songs. The new version uses AI to precisely identify and remove the unwanted song while preserving other audio elements.

Importantly, the company noted that, like other current AI-powered offerings, it may not always perform as intended.

According to a support page from the company, "This edit may not be effective for difficult-to-remove songs. If the tool doesn't successfully remove the claim from a video, you can explore other editing options like muting all sound in the claimed segments or trimming them out."
