-: Now for monetization issues. 3 3
If you have received a message from YouTube 4 4
notifying you that you have used someone else's work, 5 5
be it a song or a clip, 6 6
and you will no longer be able to monetize your video, 7 7
then you can replace the audio using the online editor 8 8
in YouTube Studio on your desktop. 9 9
It has a tool for you to blur parts of the video 10 10
and replace audio with music 11 11
that YouTube provides for free, 12 12
but in most cases, removing the audio 13 13
will pretty much ruin your video, 14 14
so it's usually best just to leave the video the way it is 15 15
and let the copyright owner take the revenue. 16 16
So there'll be ads on it, 17 17
but the money doesn't go to you, 18 18
it goes to the copyright owner. 19 19
It's quite annoying, 20 20
but (laughs) it's not worth taking the video down 21 21
if it's a good video. 22 22
Next time, you probably will learn your lesson, 23 23
and you will stop using other people's music. 24 24
Now the blur feature may be useful 25 25
if you need to blur something 26 26
that you didn't realize should be blurred, 27 27
like a face or an address or something too graphic, 28 28
but again, sometimes it just doesn't make sense to do that. 29 29
It's a case-by-case basis. 30 30
You decide, if it's gonna ruin your video by doing it, 31 31
then just let it go. 32 32
I have quite a few videos 33 33
that were either claimed or became demonetized 34 34
for either one reason or another, 35 35
and when you're wrong, just accept it 36 36
and put your energy into new content. 37 37
And if it was a mistake on YouTube's part, 38 38
then you just request a manual review 39 39
and they'll fix it for you, usually within a day or two. 40 40
But as long as you're following the guidelines, 41 41
you shouldn't come across issues like this very often.
