Why should Adobe subscriber wait for asset creator to release copyright claims ?

Report · Jan 18, 2025

Adobe needs to Automate its Asset/Stock Credit Claims, And if Adobe refuses to do it then some other AI will anyway sort this issue and hope that day comes sooner than before.

1. When a subscriber of Adobe use a Stock/ Asset included in its premium plans, then the Stock / Asset Creator of a background sound takes at times 48 hours to clear the copyright on Youtube. YT blocks the video and by the time dispute is cleared I have observed videos to have limited reach (may be due to YT algo). I blame Adobe for this squarely.

2. What value does this bring to become a Adobe Subscriber. Adobe Express markets itself to help creators, but this multi billion earning company does not think from the pov of its users.

Big part of your problem is that you seem to put all of your "eggs into one basket."--- Inside your "toolbox" you should have multiple production streams-- Photoshop, DAZ 3D, Pexels, Canva- and you appear to just use AE.

Nope, you did not get my main problem with Adobe's lack of approach to use of licensed sounds on YT.

1. Using Canva with AE for short videos is waste of money & impede a simple workflow and defeats the purpose of AE for quick 1 stop shop for creating short social media content.

2. Photoshop , Pexels I am not aware they have template background score.

I lay all the blame fo this on Adobe & its their duty to figure this out, not pass on the buck to YouTube.

I can think of some solutions like using a Adobe subscriber specific prefix or suffix in combination with ASLC they generate and user puts it into YT while user uploads and its cleared by YT at the very time of upload, ( via a checkup of the license at the backend in real time by YT). But that would mean Adobe to work for ease of use with YouTube and they should.

YT may charge them for it and given Adobe is making so much money at the back of subscribers, they should do it.

Hi @ravi_2912

Sorry to hear about your difficulties with this. I was also curious how many times you had issues with copyright claims from YouTube. I've seen a few other customer reports about this but am unsure how prevalent the issue is.

I'll pass on your feedback and ideas to our developers.

Thanks,
Dave

Everytime I use any adobe premium background score and that made me question use of adobe stock music. 24-48 hours of time to release copyright is not something very exciting, also I observed sometimes it kills reach of content on YT ( if there is some copyright dispute earlier), so I totally avoid Adobe for that. Now I depend on YT sound library and let the Adobe feature for which I pay, go waste.

Hi @ravi_2912,

Thanks for your response. When you place a stock audio asset for the first time, you'll see a message letting you know that if you upload your content to YouTube, you may need to provide Content ID proof.

To find your Content ID:

Open your Express file.
Export the file (if you haven't already) to generate a license.
Right-click the audio track → Click Source info.
Copy the "Unique Content ID code" and follow YouTube’s Content ID verification process.
If needed, click "What’s this?" in the info modal for more details.

Let us know if that helps.

Regards,

Tarun

Yeah, i know that ASLC stuff and even if while uploading it on YT, the Youtube marks it as disputed and withholds the video till copyright is not sorted.

the step 4 you mention is not seamless, it passes the ball to the asset creator who can take 24-48 hours to clear the dispute, till then the video is not published. The creator in different geography & time zone may be on holiday or busy in something else can take long enough for the video to be in dispute.

I am talking this about mainly background sounds. So the holder of the creator IP takes 24-48 hours before clearing it. That makes a 3rd person control my creation using Adobe Tool. So the lesson I get from this is to drop the tool (Adobe template sounds).

Adobe hasn't figured this out well, and it markets express as quick video editing tool. This is super lame and super problematic. Either Adobe should completely purchase template sounds in its library and give free hand to its subscribers to use them or else it will continue to be a tool with too many moving parts. Already Adobe express is such a lame product, what at best it can do is remove the backgorund. I even dont know what were Adobe Product managers thinking before making it, a free GIMP is more versatile to use it or even Fotor Pro ( paid version) which I discovered to be 100x of Adobe Express, at 1/10 the price of Adobe Express. Adobe Product Managers should periodically do a value assessment of their products compared to what is there in Market.

Example : Adobe Express doesnt even have simple stuff like silhouette effect creation.
