YouTube has unveiled an upgraded tool for creators, allowing them to effortlessly remove copyrighted music from their videos while preserving other audio elements like dialogue and sound effects. This AI-powered “Erase Song” tool promises to be a game-changer for creators who previously struggled with copyright claims.
YouTube chief Neal Mohan announced the tool on X, highlighting its ability to isolate and remove copyrighted music without affecting the rest of the audio. The company has been testing the tool for a while, but the new version boasts improved accuracy thanks to its AI-powered algorithm.
While YouTube acknowledges that the algorithm might not be perfect in all cases, creators can still try alternative editing options like muting or trimming specific segments if the tool doesn’t fully resolve the copyright claim.
This enhancement is a welcome addition for content creators, streamlining the process of addressing copyright issues and giving them more control over their videos. By removing the copyright claim after successful editing, YouTube ensures that creators can utilize their content freely without fear of restrictions.
