If I use iMovie music for a soundtrack on a video I post on YouTube, is it free?
Or will the video be pulled from circulation?
Thank you.

As long as the music is royalty free or royalties paid then there is no issue. Same deal as with the Youtube Royalty free stuff. Amusingly a video game I play has a load of fitting royalty free stuff in as it's a one-dev low-to-no budget automotive survival 'sim' and someone at the RC Truck meets has one of the tracks uploaded into his sound unit and I hear it playing at meets but I've not yet worked out who it is.  |

Thanks Rich. Here is a link for others that seems to give a decently clear answer. channelmakers.com/can-i-use-music-from-imovie-on-youtube/It is that line between Royalty and Copyright, and then of course interpretation and execution. Much as I would love videos to go viral, my content is not that sort, more just possibly amusing snippets. |

Videos with copyright music don't get pulled from circulation, they get monetised and the money goes to the copyright holder.
All the RR show videos use copyright music (I've often checked with the bands before hand if they are okay with their music on a car show video) and they are all still on Youtube.
The only time Youtube will pull videos (generally) is a Content Strike, not a Copyright Strike. Content strike is when someone that owns the original video you may have embdedded within your video on Youtube wants it pulled... It happened for us with a few of the Watch Along videos we did, someone in Japan objected to their work being repurposed. Came within one Content Strike of the whole channel being pulled. .... and that is why we stopped doing those.

This is a future project I am preparing footage for and have uploaded two short episodes . I have used iMovie Soundtracks fir the time-lapse and Fast Forward stuff. Shared with my team and critics to try get feedback so as to fine tune the sections. I just saw this message today on the two “Unpublished” clips. Any experience or advice? If I have to, I will go back and edit in the Youtube editing suite, using their music, but you probably know how long the cutting and splicing and rebuilding takes.  |

Copyright claim just means that it will be monetised and any ad revenue will go to the copyright holder, not you. It only matters if you intend to make money off the videos.
There is a higher level of Content Strike, and that is more serious, but it is unlikely you'll get that, also they give you a full explination of what that means when they give you that.
Copyright Claim is super common for music on Youtube.

Copyright Claim is super common for music on Youtube. Thank you. I understood it thus in the first place, then saw the comments and realised I need to ask. I think the Rezin Rockit that had 1000 plus views per day on here would have been better fare for pushing viewers etc. Mostly I just like sharing and actually capturing a record for educational and reference purposes withbuild threads. I learn a ton on here from many builds and info shares. |
