YouTube copyright strikes when using PowerDirector?
Cyberlink PowerDirector is a very powerful video editing software, I use it all the time. One of the many advantages are the music clips it comes with that you can use within your content. However, you may find yourself with copyright strikes when doing so. I found the best way to handle this is to dispute the claim and select the option that you have the license to use the music, which you would if you are using PowerDirector. I usually just say:
I use Cyberlink PowerDirector to create my videos and have a license to use the music contained within the program.
I have never had any issues doing this on my ArtAwry channel, but did have one dispute rejected on a gaming channel I also have. For some reason the copyright owner refused with no explanation why and no way to contact anyone about it. It’s frustrating, but YouTube have strict rules, which I do understand. However, it’s very annoying when you think you have the right to use something, in good faith, and it’s taken away from you.
YouTube does give you the option to replace the affected track, so it’s not all bad.
