在本文中，我们将介绍一些可用于查找可在
YouTube 视频(YouTube videos)中使用的免版税音乐的资源。我们还将解释如何确保您使用的音乐不会让您收到版权声明，以及如果您收到版权声明会发生什么。
希望在您通读本文时，您对音乐版权(music copyright)在YouTube 上(YouTube)的运作方式以及如何保持良好状态以确保您的视频可以获利有一个深入的了解。
如何找到免版税音乐
首先，让我们看看为YouTube 视频(YouTube videos)查找免版税音乐的最佳方法。网上有很多资源，所以很容易找到适合您的视频和口味的音乐。
这是我们将在本节中介绍的内容的快速概述；
- 通过 YouTube 搜索获得版权免费音乐(Copyright free music through YouTube search)
- YouTube 提供免版税音乐(YouTube provided royalty free music)
我们将从最安全的选择开始，那就是使用YouTube(YouTube)直接提供的免版税音乐。只需(Simply)导航到YouTube.com/audiolibrary/music，您就可以浏览数以千计的免费音乐曲目和音效。
这些曲目不仅免版税，而且您可以在视频中使用它们，而不必担心它们可能会错误地获得版权主张。YouTube专门在此页面上为创作者提供音频，以避免收到版权主张。
虽然您可能无法准确找到您要查找的内容，但您可以使用此页面按流派、乐器、持续时间甚至心情过滤音乐，这使其成为查找特定于您需要的音乐的强大工具。声音效果选项卡也是一个不错的补充。您可以按声音类别进行组织，所有这些声音也可以免费使用。
接下来，我们在YouTube本身的不同渠道提供免费版权。对“无版权音乐”进行简单搜索通常可以返回一些有用的结果。
您甚至可以包含特定术语，例如“无版权钢琴音乐”或“无版权喜剧音乐”，以查找更具体的曲调。请记住，仅仅因为视频的标题中没有版权，并不意味着它可以在YouTube 上(YouTube)免费使用。
仔细阅读视频的描述并查看适用的规则。在许多情况下，它会声明您可以免费使用这首歌，只要您注明艺术家。在某些情况下，视频可能会声明您必须先在他们的网站上付费才能使用他们的歌曲——(song –)
避免使用这些歌曲。
在极少数情况下，使用这些歌曲，即使它们被标记为无版权，也会导致您遇到版权主张问题。在任何时候，艺术家都可以为其内容签名或设置版权，这可能会使宣传它的旧视频无效。我们将在下一节中详细讨论如何避免这种情况。
如何确保你的音乐不会让(Get)你被贬低
如果您不想冒险，则应始终使用我们在本文前面链接的音乐库中(music library)YouTube提供的音乐和声音。(music and sounds)但是，如果您愿意更进一步地获得更有趣的音乐，您可以按照我将在下面概述的步骤确保您的视频不会被贬低。
第 1 步 -(Step 1
–)确保您阅读了(read
the description)您想从中使用音乐的任何视频的说明。确保(Make)它在描述中说您可以免费使用他们的歌曲( you are free to
use their song) 而无需取消货币化(without
demonetization)。
第 2 步 -(Step 2
– )确保您通过正确的途径领取(go
through the proper routes to claim the music)免费提供的音乐。通常，这可能是第三方链接或托管在诸如Soundcloud之类的(Soundcloud)音乐网站上(music website)。不要只是从视频中翻录音乐。
第 3 步 -(Step 3
– )将音乐添加到您的视频中，确保保存
项目文件(project file)以防您将来需要删除音乐。接下来，将视频上传到YouTube，让它处理，但不要上传。
第 4 步 –(Step 4
–) 填写(Fill)您通常需要的所有详细信息，例如视频描述、标签、标题和缩略图。不要按发布。相反，将视频设置为不公开，然后按完成。不用担心，您将来仍然可以将其从不公开状态切换为公开状态，您的订阅者仍会收到通知。
接下来，您需要等待一段时间。最好的选择是等待大约 2 小时。如果 YouTube 的内容ID 系统(ID system)在您的歌曲中检测到受版权保护的材料，您会收到电子邮件通知。然后，您可以删除您上传的不公开视频，返回到您的原始项目文件(project file)，然后选择一首新歌曲。
但是，如果您已按照第一步进行操作，那么您的视频就不太可能获得版权主张(copyright claimed)。但是，这可以确保您不会被确实发生的罕见情况所困扰。
例如，有一次我使用了一首在版权免费频道上的歌曲，但艺术家在该歌曲发布到该频道后得到了唱片公司(record label)的签名，这意味着他们提供的关于它可以免费使用的信息已经过时了。
通过执行上述步骤，您可以确保首先测试系统，以确保您不会成为此类事件的受害者(t fall victim)。然后，这使您可以发布您的视频，知道(video knowing)它可以安全地用于获利，并且不存在您可能不得不重新上传和失去观看次数的风险。
如果您的视频收到(Your Video)版权声明(Copyright Claim)，会发生什么？
如果您因使用音乐而对您的视频提出版权主张(copyright claim)，请不要担心。它不会影响您的频道。在大多数情况下，您将获得的任何收入都将转给原始艺术家。在某些情况下，视频将被阻止发布。
此类版权(Copyright)声明与频道警示完全不同，后者可能会导致您的频道被禁止。
频道(Channel)警示通常仅在您公然窃取内容而没有任何合理使用的情况下应用，例如上传整部电影，并且公司手动提交DMCA 通知(DMCA notice)。使用音频时，这种情况很少发生，特别是如果您按照本文中的所有步骤进行操作。

The Best Resources for Royalty Free Music to Use for YouTube Videos
Іn this article, we’ll be taking a look at a
number of resources you сan use to find royalty free music to use in your
YouTube videoѕ. We will also explain how you can makе sure that the music you
use doesn’t get you copyright claims, and what happens if you do get one.
Hopefully, by the time you’ve read through
this article, you’ll have a solid understanding about how music copyright works
on YouTube and how you can stay on the good side to ensure your videos can be
monetized.
How to Find Royalty Free Music
To start with, let’s take a look at the best
ways to find royalty free music for YouTube videos. There are plenty of sources
online, so it should be quite easy to find music that’s suitable to your video
and your tastes.
Here is a quick overview of what we’ll be
covering in this section;
- Copyright free music through YouTube search
- YouTube provided royalty free music
We’ll start with the safest option and that is to use royalty free music offered directly by YouTube. Simply navigate to YouTube.com/audiolibrary/music and you’ll be able to browse through thousands of free music tracks and sound effects.
Not only are these tracks royalty free, but
you can use them in your video without worry that they may mistakenly get
copyright claimed. YouTube specifically provides the audio on this page for
creators to avoid getting copyright claims.
Whilst you may not be able to find exactly
what you are looking for, you can use this page to filter music by genre,
instrument, duration, and even mood, which makes it a powerful tool to find
music specific to your needs. The sound effects tab is a nice addition, too.
You can organize by sound category and all of these sounds are free to use,
too.
Next, we have copyright free provided by different channels on YouTube itself. Performing a simple search for ‘copyright free music’ can often return some useful results.
You can even include specific terms like ‘copyright free piano music’ or ‘copyright free comedy music’ to find more specific tunes. Keep in mind that just because a video has copyright free in its title, doesn’t mean it’s free to use on YouTube.
Carefully read the description of the video
and see what rules apply. In many cases, it will state that you are allowed to
use the song for free, so long as you credit the artist. In some cases, the
video may state that you must pay first on their website to use their song –
avoid these ones.
In some rare cases, using these songs, even if
they are marked as copyright free, can cause you to run into copyright claim
issues. At any point, artists can get signed or set up copyright for their
content and this could make an older video that has promoted it invalid. We’ll
talk more about how you can avoid this in the next section.
How to Make Sure Your Music Doesn’t Get You Demonetized
If you do not want to risk it, you should
always use the music and sounds provided by YouTube on the music library that
we linked earlier in this article. However, if you are willing to go further
for slightly more enjoyable music, you can ensure your videos don’t get
demonetized by following the steps I will outline below.
Step 1
– Make sure you read
the description of any video you want to use the music from. Make sure it
says in the description you are free to
use their song without
demonetization.
Step 2
– Ensure you go
through the proper routes to claim the music that has been provided for
free. Usually, this may be a third party
link or hosted on a music website like Soundcloud. Don’t just rip the
music from the video.
Step 3
– Add the music to your video, making sure to save the
project file in case you need to remove the music in the future. Next, upload
the video to YouTube, let it process, but do not upload it.
Step 4
– Fill in all of the details you normally would, such
as video description, tags, title, and thumbnail. Do not press publish.
Instead, set the video as unlisted and then press done. Don’t worry, you can
still switch it from unlisted to public in the future and your subscribers will
still get notifications.
Next, you’ll need to wait some time. The best
bet is to wait roughly 2 hours. If YouTube’s content ID system detects
copyrighted material on your song, you’ll be notified by email. You can then
remove your uploaded unlisted video, go back to your original project file, and
choose a new song.
If you’ve followed the first steps, it’s very unlikely your video will get copyright claimed, however. But, this makes sure you don’t get caught out by rare cases where it does happen.
For example, once I used a song that was on a copyright free channel, but the artist got signed by a record label after it was published to that channel, which meant the information they provided about it being free to use was outdated.
By following the steps above, you make sure
you test the system first to ensure you don’t fall victim to something like
this. This then allows you to publish your video knowing that it’s safe for
monetization and there’s no risk that you might have to reupload and lose your
views.
What Happens if You Get a Copyright Claim on Your Video?
If you get a copyright claim on your video for
using music, don’t worry. It won’t impact your channel. In most cases, any of
the revenue you would have earned will just go to the original artist instead.
In some cases, the video will be blocked from being published.
Copyright claims like this are completely
different to channel strikes, which can cause your channel to be banned.
Channel strikes are often only applied when you blatantly steal content without
any fair use applied, for example uploading an entire movie, and a company
manually files a DMCA notice. When using audio, this is very rarely going to
happen, especially if you follow all of the steps in this article.
Summary
Thanks for reading this far. If you’ve read up
to this point, you will have learned the following things:
- How to find music that’s safe to
use on your YouTube channel.
- How to test that music won’t
demonetize your videos.
- What happens if you do get a copyright
claim and why you don’t need to worry.
I hope that this article has been useful. Do
you have any questions about YouTube’s copyright or content ID system? If you
do, leave your question below and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.
