Every time I use the royalty free music from Vegas I have to deal with the license issue. This is really annoying and takes quite a bit of time to go through the dispute thing. Would be nice if Vegas could sort this out.
I quit using an audio clip I had downloaded through VEGAS Hub because of this. Every video I uploaded (It was on my intro) was getting flagged so I got tired and quit using it.
@Roger Bansemer Where does the message come from? YouTube?
Yes. YouTube
@Roger Bansemer I understand the headache that can bring.....To avoid all copyright messes i purchase all my soundtrack libraries as one time purchases Royalty-Free and done.
As EricLNZ asked, where and when does this message pops up on you?

Having that music was one of the main reasons I upgraded to V22. AND... weeks ago if you clicked on a video clip to download you can't even preview it. The 3 dots just keep spinning around. They really should fix that as it's what we've paid an annual fee for.
@Roger Bansemer. I am also having a problem with hub for over 1 month now. I also get the spinning dots. I have been working with Magix support, with no resolution on the suggested fixes that support offers.
So far on my own.
1. I have un-installed and re installed Vegas 22 with Revo Uninstaller Pro.
2. Usually once a year i reinstall Windows on my PC. I did a full format, and put a fresh install of Win 11 pro. Updated all of my drivers, did windows update, installed Vegas Pro Suite 22. Hub still has spinning dots. I informed support but have not gotten a responce back.
3. Yesterday I installed Vegas Pro 19, and Hub works. I get full previews, get download options, and downloads of content works. I closed vegas 19, started Vegas 22 , and still had spinning dots in Vegas 22.
So for me it looks to be a problem with Vegas 22. Support had me put on a earlier build of Vegas 22, and that still had spinning dots.
If I get a solution or work around I will post it here.

@Roger Bansemer Thanks. I've amended the thread title to clearly indicate your problem. Hope that's okay with you. It has cropped up before and I thought it had been solved but I haven't had time today to search the forum.
Its ok I compose music for Tv and film and for all my youtube vids, I still get copyright claims. Its an algorithm of course and its not great.

That's so cool. Is there a place on the web where I can hear a bit of what you do?

I've been using Vegas for 15 years or more to create our PBS series but back then there were few choices as compared to today. I think the younger crowd with all the new choices for editing might leave Vegas behind. I hope not but Vegas does I feel need to keep up. For instance the "magic mask" in Vegas that is supposed to mask people works very poorly.
AND... especially a fix needs to the issue of "not responding" that have been a plague in the past and still exist.

Thanks for that. I actually use that very quote you put up. Even with that I have on rare occasions been denied.
I had one of those copyright things from YT on a piece of music from the Hub. I just wrote that it was gotten from Vegas Pro/Storyblocks.com and within an hour, it was cleared. I also have Smartsound and have had a few of those YT issues. Every time I replied back, everything was released.
It's the nature of "royalty free music" I guess. I have no problem "fighting" the system.
Where can I find this EULA on my own contract?
Br,

@Emma-Eriksson are you referring to Vegas Hub/Storyblocks? @jetdv posted this LINK a few comments up.
I'm a bit confused – I've received four copyright strikes for audio tracks that I got from VEGAS Hub, which I believed was safe to use without any issues.
Since my channel isn’t monetized, it’s not a problem yet, but it could become one if that changes in the future.

There are bots on Youtube the scan for music that the creator might license to say, Storyblocks, but others may have gotten it from somewhere else, where it isn't royalty free. So, you video gets flagged.
As I wrote, I have Smartsound, and have had music flagged by Youtube for it. I contest and provide the Smartsound reply about licensing from them and providing the necessary information. Then I am good to go.
I challenge each and every one, and have never lost.
@Heidi-Hansen is you want to read more about this, you can read about it HERE.
Also, other people use the songs for their videos and then claim copyrights.
Hi,
Do you mean copyright claim and not strike? A copyright strike is serious and you have to remove your video. Three strikes and you are out.

You're right – it was explained incorrectly. It was 4 copyright claims, not strikes.
It states that for now (as long as I'm not under monetization), the claims won’t restrict the video.
And thanks to @Reyfox – it worked!
I used that text on each of the claims (not strikes 😉), and YouTube has already removed them from the video.
The Youtube copyright detection architecture is also greatly flawed.
Copyright Strike:
Keep in mind:
Copyright Claim:
You can appeal a claim, but if the claim is valid, it is unlikely to be removed. However, resolving a claim is much easier than resolving a strike.
"A copyright claim refers to either a copyright removal request or a Content ID claim, which are 2 different ways to assert copyright ownership on YouTube.
How are copyright removal requests and Content ID claims different?
If any copyright owner finds their copyright-protected content on YouTube without their authorization, they can submit a copyright removal request, also known as a "takedown notice" or simply a "takedown". It is a legal request to remove content from YouTube due to alleged copyright infringement. Some copyright owners use Content ID, a tool that automatically scans YouTube for copyright-protected content. When Content ID finds a match, the matching content gets a Content ID claim. What happens to the matching content depends on the copyright owner's Content ID settings.
Copyright removal requests
Copyright law requires sites like YouTube to process copyright removal requests. Removal requests must meet all the legal requirements to be considered valid.
What happens if my content is removed because of a copyright removal request?
When your content is removed due to a copyright removal request, a copyright strike is applied to your channel.
Content ID claims
Unlike copyright removal requests, which are defined by law, Content ID is a tool created by YouTube. When Content ID finds a match, it applies a Content ID claim on the matching content.
What happens if my content gets a Content ID claim?
Depending on the copyright owner's Content ID settings, Content ID claims can:
Any of these actions can be geography-specific. For example, a video can be monetized in one country/region and blocked or tracked in a different country/region.
Keep in mind that when content is tracked or monetized, it stays viewable on YouTube with the active Content ID claim on it. Usually, copyright owners choose to track or monetize videos, not block them." - What is a copyright claim? - YouTube Help
