YouTube Visual Content Matches - UEFA

Gday

I like to make YT Vids to celebrate happy occasions, which for me was Croatia's recent qualifying for Euro 2016. So i put together a little highlights vid and then got slammed by about 15 UEFA visual content matches.

Now, knowing OzB is tech-savvy, wondering if anyone is au fait with a way around this, ie, does adding a border (and what would be the best program to do this?) or flipping visual content work?

Also before anyone accuses me of using other people's work to make money as usually happens in these situations: this is entirely non-profit and i never monetise any vids, it's purely to create tribute vids and celebrate occasions. This is all.

Thanks !

    Nope.

    Youtube's content matching algorithms are so good that you essentially have to make the image unrecogniseable to get past it.

      Hmm

      not quite the answer i'd hoped for !

      Anyways, can you recommend similar video hosting sites for 720p vids ?

      Cheers !

    You might have to consider sites like streamable, vid.me, Vimeo, Liveleak or Daily Motion. YT is pretty on point when it comes to copyright these days.

    Having said that, I had a video go viral and found people slowing down and speeding up my voice to avoid the audio matching algorithms. Adding borders, repeating the clip a few times, cutting the clip short were other methods they used to make it different. Never had any flipping but since they were copying a video that was new and my account was not monetised, I assumed YT cared less. For those videos I had to manually lodge takedown requests which worked pretty well.

    Hahaha, the screenshot that OzBargain uses for the YouTube store has the thumbnail for said video. STILL FAMOUS!

      Can you post a link to your video? Thanks :)

      Thanks for the info.

      Yes i had a look at some sites, the vid in question is 720p, 1.2 gig and 11 minutes. So some of those sites were not options because they had maximums of 500 meg like Vimeo for example.

      I'm trying with Dailymotion atm. That has a 2 gig limit only and seems (from what i have read) that you are way less likely to have the copyright issues on YT. So that seems to be the best option.

      I mean, fwiw - i'm not trying to rip anyone off, just to show some soccer highlights set to music in a celebratory manner. It's a pity that YouTube wouldnt let me.

      Also, fwiw - i have an identical style of video for the World Cup 2014 and it has ~100,000 views on YT and no issues. So it seems UEFA is stricter than FIFA?
