DailyMotion Tool Helps Vloggers Insert Free Music
Filed Under Tools for Vloggers, Video Sharing Sites
The problem of illegal use of copyrighted material is a big one for the video world, and even for some vloggers who would like to use clips or audio from some other source in their vlogs.
With so many using and posting copyrighted material onto the web, it’s nearly impossible for video sites to keep up with it.
A major step in solving this problem may lie in technologies like the one DailyMotion has recently incorporated — a tool to detect copyrighted video and audio.
Of the two, copyrighted audio is the problem most likely to affect vloggers - who tend to use their own video footage, but then layer copyrighted music into it to give it that important “extra.”
For this, DailyMotion may have an answer (and a glimpse into the future of putting video online). It’s a tool they call Audio Remix, and they describe it as follows:
When one of your videos is detected to have a copyrighted audio track, we will ask you to use Audio Remix to replace the audio track.
Audio Remix is very easy to use. Only three steps are necessary to change the audio track of your video:
1. Choose a genre and artist
2. Select the track you would like to use
3. Click “Publish” to insert the new track into your video
DailyMotion has sought our partners in the music industry to clear music that can be used free of charge and legally. As of this writing it seems that they only have a little over 50 songs available through a partnership with Jamendo.com. However, there’s sure to be more in the future if the tool works as it’s designed to.
The only problem with such a tool for vloggers would be that inserting just the right music in the right spots would obviously be nearly impossible. Still, it’s looking like a step in the “helpful” direction, which is the only way the “right direction” is going to achieved in the end.
