how do you make youtube videos for music

We know it can be frustrating to post a video that you’ve worked on for days, only to have it flagged or blocked because of a Content ID claim. We believe that through ASCAP's participation, we can improve the metadata in Content ID, which will benefit our members and other rightsholders.

Content ID is not perfect, but it is the only system that YouTube makes available for monetizing music in YouTube videos.

We work within YouTube’s proprietary Content ID system to identify ASCAP members’ music in the billions of hours of videos that users watch on YouTube every day. As a performing rights organization (PRO), our our main role is to make sure that our members get fairly paid when their music is performed publicly. Remember: every time you upload a video, you are agreeing to YouTube’s Terms of Service - including the part that says that “you own or have the necessary licenses, rights, consents, and permissions to publish Content you submit.” That means music, too.ĪSCAP is a membership association of over 875,000 songwriters, composers and music publishers. By all means, do it! Before you hit the “Upload” button though, consider that there’s a songwriter or composer who created it who relies on income from all the different uses of their music for a livelihood. Every minute, users upload 500 hours of video to YouTube, and a whole lot of it contains music.

So you want to use music in your YouTube video? You’re in good company.
