Hey Guys I'm hoping someone can help me in here
So I make beats but I also make videos for my beats that I really like.. and I just made a video I didn't put that much effort into it to be honest I just ripped a major artist video from YouTube "meek mill and future" the same video I had the acapella and put it over the beat.. as I expected it got a copyright.. but what im wondering.. in about a 3min video how many videos would I have to chop up and rearrange before I wouldn't get a copyright.. I don't mind doing stuff like that its actually fun but I don't wanna put all that effort in and still not be able to upload it to Facebook, instagram, youtube.
Should each clip be less then 20 seconds or 10? Whats a good number? And if anyone has any good knowledge on the subject I'd love to hear it.

 

meek don't like you

 

Obviously.. I wasn't aloud to post the video lol

 

sorry you have to make your own beat bruh

 

I did make my own beat brah... I just used the video

 

aaah only visuals.... idk man no idea

 

Yeah sorry I kind of rambled in the beginning.. I just wanna know how long of a clip can I use before it is considered copyright like if I take 7 videos and chop them up into 15 second clips and have them going one after another for 3 minutes.. would that still trigger a copyright.. I hope im making myself clear on what im asking

 

Im pretty sure on a monetized upload they'd be allowed to copyright strike you even if you used a still from their video, unless your content was a critique

 

Damn that sucks

 

Simple answer don't copy and put up and try to pass off what is not yours. if that is not possible you are in the wrong field. A blunt but honest answer.

 

Alright thanks man I'll figure something out.

 

In all honesty I can just put a picture up of the artist im doing typebeats for, just like everyone else does.. just wanted to try and standout.. and have something visually appealing for the listener... but im looking into the zgame editor and its capabilities

 

but a free internet would also be cool

 

yes try fl. you can do a lot. I've done simple things but i think it's really awesome. i found a simple video from ave mc cre or something like that... but have to figure out more, presets would be cool i can't script them myself omg

 

I know man its frustrating when people look up your stuff based off another artist but you can only use a tiny picture that you gotta add filters and all kinds of stuff so you don't get demonitized lol.. if you think about it.. its really tough for producers to do everything to a "T" and not step on anyone's toes.. shit I even thought of using short meme videos .just a picture is cool sometimes but I'd like to be visually creative also but stick to the type of artists im looking for.

 

I've seen a trend in the last year or so : basically videos containing 1 picture , say a close up random pic of the artist, with very few other interventions like flashes of color influencing the overall scene or just some simple, stupid animation. And when I say "animation", I mean it can be a single drawn line across a portion of the screen, flickering or something. Nothing, really, but they do get their views even with this low stuff...
Did you work something out in the meantime, FrankWhite23 ?

 

There are algorithms for music and for video too. Sometimes even false positive are counted as copyright strikes and dispute is not so simple
This is what it is in 2021: dont be frustrated, it's the same shit for everybody
No, there is no minimum time allowed: even just a word from an already published acappella can be flagged

what is always possible is to use content of somebody else, but ask him for permission.

you are not alone on this planet - talk to each other!

 

Not my Experience

I have my highest Views on my lowest Effort Videos

20h of Idea finding+ Recoding+ Mixing +Making
103 Views

10h of recording :
33 Views

2h of work in preparing:
115 Views

10 m of recoring 0 preparing
2827 views and many Dislikes but hey Youtube just counts Interactions bad or good doesn´t matter that much

15m of recording 10 min prepair (And that's with terrible sound XD)
1.773 views

And Trends are only low budget TV productions and stuff like this here

(In my eyes this seems like low afford with 1 Mio views)


Marketing is more important than the actual product sadly

For
FrankWhite23 this could be interessting . Why avoid, if you can break it
(by the way interesting part is that only works with 30 sec of material can be claim from the info in this Video )

 

All of which goes to prove Pablo Picasso’s statement that “bad artists copy, great artists steal
https://quoteinvestigator.com/2013/03/06/artists-steal/

7 Billion people
ca. 1 Mio musicians
copyright for 70 years after the death of the author
and limited melodies are a problem
Even if we tried not to copy we are doomed to do it by time
