Great tutorial. I've been a customer in the Envato community for over 8 years and have purchased over 200 items for my TH-cam channel during that time. I'd rather not use Envato for music anymore. I HIGHLY recommend for everything else.
Because they have been bombarding me with Copyright claims for music I paid for and used in livestreams 7 years ago. Sometimes the title in the claim does not match the title I have on the license and I have to go through hundreds of songs by ear before I can figure out which license to send them in the dispute (which they normally don't even respond to for the 30-Day window). Very time consuming. I paid for the licenses and after all these years they're trying to take my ad revenue.@@Digitalnomad700
Great tutorial. I use Envato Elements for my clients. It's a good platform, the only thing I don't like is that the video would not generate any money until you dispute the claim. So you'll have to be careful when you receive the claim, so that you can dispute it right away. Otherwise if you're not careful or you don't have acces to your computer for a few days, the video will make views but will not generate any money. For example, Epidemic Sounds let you put your channel link and you're free of any copyright claims. You don't have to manually disput every claim. I'd rather not use Envato for music. For photos, stock footage, sound effects etc it's still a good platform.
Hey Robert, thanks for taking the time to share this, I appreciate you. I am glad that you still find value in Envato, there's something on there for all of us 🙏🏽
hi robert, you said you rather not use envato for music, but for photo, stock footage, sound effect etc its still great... So, will there be no copyright claims for photos, etc.?
Thanks, Its been days that I am waiting and the claim was not approved. But even if it gets approved, I'm canceling my envato subscription RIGHT NOW- probably switching to some other providers where I don't have to deal with this headach
We got a corporate work culture video done from an agency and got a copyright claim on one of the videos. The agency shared the licence information with us for the dispute but i'm not sure when what name should I put in when signing on the dispute claim form. Do I sign in as the name of the company (i.e our company) or my name or the agency name?
I use a piece of music that I licensed from Envato for my opening sequence, which appears on every video I post. I get a copyright claim on every - single - video, even though the copyright owner releases their claim, eventually. The problem is that the release often takes weeks to complete and is such an annoyance that I am looking at changing the music for something that I didn't purchase from Envato. My experience has been so negative that I have no intention of using Envato in the future.
Sorry to hear that, and thanks for sharing it here. Here’s something to remember: Envato, like any other stock website, has no control over the third-party platforms the authors of these music tracks use to keep an eye of for where their tracks are used. Envato is just a library that makes these awesome kinds of content available to us. The release of a claim is dependent on when the person who makes the track, decides to release it. So for example, if that person has a regular day job that keeps them busy, it all comes down to “when” they see that email, and “when” they click “Release”. I hope this gives some clarity. Looking forward ti hearing from you 🙏🏽
60 minutes for a dispute seems very fast. However, my clients do not like this. They get a copyright claim when I use Envatos music on their long forms. (never had a problem with shorts before) Is there a way to skip this process? So its seamless for them. Or should I check out other services like Epidemic sound/motion array? Would they be better with this?
Go into your account on Envato Elements website, go to My Downloads, then look for an item you downloaded, there should be a Download License link next to each item you have downloaded in the past.
In my early days i used Envato elements for music tracks and disputed a fair few tracks with Licenses. Sometimes the owners will reject the claim, its a bit of scam really, so as long as your video remains public the owners get paid and not you, providing you are monetized that is!
Thank you so much for covering this topic. I've been trying to figure out how copyright works with a subscription to a service, but was coming up empty-handed, so I hadn't signed up yet. You gave me all the info I'd been looking for but had been unable to find. Do you still like Envato Elements? I'm trying to pick a subscription service, and I just don't know which one to go with!
I just disputed a youtube copyright claim using a license because I'm using envato elements, and it worked. No copyright infringement on my youtube. Thanks for the tutorial. I'm from Indonesia.
Great and straight to be point video. I have one query in case the license is under someone else's name who is having the subscription, but I do have access to use it, in that case, how I can use envato elements on my videos, also how to resolve the disputes in case of copyright claim. Also, can you give clarity on subscription based models like Epidemic sound, whether I need to renew my subscription to be able to use the music as long as its there on TH-cam.
Do you have the issues, during, or after the stream? You can dispute it with your license after you've finished streaming. And I believe you can do it while streaming too, I am not entirely sure, but, what's important is that you have the license file.
Thank you for this! Can you explain the process for how you do this when Instagram flags it? Instagram tends to severely limit the visibility, and even when I licensed the music and disputed it some of my videos are still hidden. Really wish there was some way you could register the license before the video even went live to prevent this.
Hey Brent. I am unsure how it works on Instagram, but you should be able to dispute or appeal a claim. Here are two useful links I found: a. help.instagram.com/contact/497750147277190 b. help.instagram.com/1445818549016877 Let me know if any of these help.
I use music form Envato Elements and upload the video to TH-cam with my license. What if my client want to post that video on their channel? Should I apply another license? What should they fill in the signature if they need to do the dispute?
@@LearnSharePhotoVideo same question... I'm a video editor and let's say if my client's channel got copyright claims so in The Signature Section What Name should we enter my registered name on Envato Elements or my client's name or my client's channel name?
will i still get a copyright claim if someone else has used the same audio before me in youtube, i mean, when i dispute the copyright claim, is it always between me and the envato elements? or there are chances of being rejected because of another user on youtube??
A copyright claim is between you and the person who created the item, not Envato Elements. Your license gives you the right to use it, so you can dispute it.
Can you please respond? I have a license to the Envato site, but unfortunately I sent another license wrong, how can I send another license now, which is a problem?
For client work, always put your client's name in the project section. I made a video about it, here: th-cam.com/video/Sfr6ofYyzJE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=R4qjy-ePBmcyKISw
That was helpful! Should I use all license codes of all footage, if I downloaded multiple footages for a single project while Uploading the final Video on TH-cam?
You only need to use the license if you get a copyright claim. So just download the license of each asset when you download the asset, and store it somewhere safe on your computer or in the cloud. You may use it or you may never use it.
What are you disputing? A music track? Also, remember that the reviewing of your dispute is not done by TH-cam. TH-cam sends the dispute to the owner, which is often times a regular person like me and you, and they have to check their email to respond to your dispute.
excellent tutorial, one question I have monetization with distrokid I used an audio from envato but I have two copyright claims one in envato and another from music distribution distrokid for my youtube id, I always uploaded the video but I also made the dispute with my license, I did it well or did i do it wrong? Or did I have to wait for TH-cam to fix Envato first?
Hello friend, do you mean the preview video that has the Envato watermark on it? If that's what you mean, then I don't think you'll get a claim for that.
Hey, if I am a freelancer and subscribed to envato elements and I have a paying client who has a youtube channel, what should I put under “registered project name” for the sublicensing? Should it be the name of the actual youtube channel or the url? I’m worried as to what if there are similar youtube channel names. Please reply. Thanks!

@@LearnSharePhotoVideo the license valid just for one video / project? If I used for 3 video TH-cam, I just need for 1 license, right? Sorry I don't really understand about this license :(
@@elizabethanggun To use an item more than once, you can go to your downloads page, and add a new license to use the item in another project. In the link I sent above, there is a section that says 'Register items each time you use them'. You can read more there. I'll make a video about it soon.
@@LearnSharePhotoVideo if I just have 1 licence, does that mean 1 video template with 1 license can't be used multiple times? Because I just subscribe for one month..
Really great advice! I would like to ask you, can I appoint a person who will have access to my Envato account? I need to hire a person who will be editing my utube videos, because I don't have Envada account yet, I don't know how to give him access if it is possible or I just give him my logins? And what I should be aware of by doing so? Thank you for your answer,
I suspect Envato uses predatory practices to steal money from creators, they copyright claim SO many videos and then will even reject the claim once the license is supplied. And what happens to all the money they’ve taken if you can get the claim removed?Someone needs to form a class action lawsuit against this company for all of the money they’ve falsely claimed that should have gone to TH-camrs.
I wish this information was still relevant but sadly, it is no longer. TH-cam's own Creator Music Licensing will now compete for licensing control over your included copyright content with Envato Elements Licensing. In many cases the copyright owner (HAAWK for a 3rd party) now has competing licensing requests from multiple sources (both TH-cam and Envato) for the same video content submitted and will suspend your video progress into eternal Escrow status. This process gets even more convoluted if you delete your offending video and re-submit it to TH-cam. This is a clunky and awkward process that desperately needs overhauling as well as some oversight from all the 3rd party licensing brokers that compete for your lucrative licensing dollars.
Thanks for the detailed comment. Is there somewhere I could go to rea about this change? If you could drop a link, I'd appreciate it. It would help in how I make my copyright videos.
Anyone with money enough for a lawyer can tell you that you can't compose your own version of a familiar or popular chord pattern. The Lynyrd Skynyrd copyright owners challenged my uptempo generic blues jam because it was like "Call Me the Breeze." What a bunch of chickenshit crap from what should be an ethical bunch of white guys that made a livin off black music. Fact is, I don't use TH-cam to amass views, I just don't care. It's a place where I can store and exhibit my talent. I don't get audited enough to put my channel in trouble and nobody is making money on TH-cam anyway, that's a pipedream. I've had three things challenged in about 5 years of posting music videos and I've disputed a few of them using the same argument used during the "Stairway to Heaven" case involving Randy California. That progression had a long history, as do all pop chord progressions based on the same 5 chords in any key. When I compose a song with lyrics, those phrases are completely different from anything done in the past and never mimic a melody form the past. You can't copyright a chord progression, but with enough money you can whine to a judge that a short section is identical to something that you've done. The logical trend wants to continue this renaissance, but who will pay the copyright lawyers for nothing?
