The new feature allows creators to address copyright issues from the company’s back-end workspace. This gives them the option to trim out the claimed content in question
Google in a blog post said, “The “Assisted Trim” option is the biggest feature rolling out with the new Studio update, with the endpoints of the edit pre-set to where the claimed content appears in the video.”
According to the company, the team is working to allow adjustable endpoints so creators can use a specific portion of their video that makes sense. The only issue is that it is not available yet.
Copyright disputes between creators and music labels or third-party companies have become a problem on YouTube. The company has tried to work with different companies to ensure that creators aren’t constantly facing copyright claims, but it’s been a tedious battle.
Creators can filter through their video feeds in Studio to see which videos were hit with copyright claims. This leads them to block the video entirely with ease. To be more transparent, the YouTube team is also showing copyright strikes directly on their Studio Dashboard.
“We’re also providing more transparency about the content of the copyright takedown than ever before, now surfacing the specific description of the copyrighted work provided by the claimant in the takedown notice,” the blog post reads.
