Authors who provide their music to Placeit’s software have the option to register their audio through Content ID. Content ID acts as a digital footprint to protect an author’s work. While they may offer it for free through Placeit, an author may still want to keep tabs on their creation.

If you upload a video from Placeit to another platform that contains the technology to process copyright monitoring, the platform may find that the music you use contains a Content ID registration. It will notify you that your video has been flagged for copyrighted music.

How To Clear A Copyright Notice

Clearing a copyright notice is simple. To clear a copyright notice on YouTube and similar platforms:

  • Locate the copyright notice claim
  • Dispute the claim
  • Credit Placeit.net/Envato

Go to the notification that alerts you of a copyright claim. Through YouTube, you can directly dispute a claim. File a dispute and select “I have a license or written permission from the proper rights holder to use this material.” You will then be prompted with a box to explain your dispute. In your explanation, write “A license to use this royalty-free music was acquired from Placeit.net/Envato.

The dispute should be settled in less than four days, and your video will be safe. If the author of the music has their audio registered through Content ID, they will also receive a notice that a video containing their music has been flagged for copyright. They can monetize your video, mute their music, or completely prevent your video from uploading. 

This is a rarity with Placeit since music authors also understand that their audio is copyright free and royalty-free. If the platform does not clear the claim and problems persist, seek the author of the music directly to resolve the situation.

Using Copyright-Free Music On Placeit

When you use Placeit’s copyright-free music, you do not have to worry about breaching copyright laws. Chances are that the author of the music does not have Content ID registration, but if they do, disputing a claim is simple.

Along with the useful software of Placeit, you can even resell your content that contains music from another Placeit author.
