Clearing the Content ID claim on YouTube is very simple. You just need to dispute the claim through the built-in YouTube form and use the license file for the audio track that you downloaded from StoryArt.

To clear a claim via YouTube, you just have to prove that you have the rights to use the music from StoryArt. In this case, our license file can serve as valid proof.

It all starts when YouTube detects a Content ID-registered track in your video. You'll see a red mark under Checks when the upload is done.

Click on the "Checks” tab for details.

Then, click "See Details” to learn how exactly your video will be affected if you proceed with the upload.

Click "Select Action,” and a menu will appear. Under Do you have rights to this content?, click "Dispute.”

This will take you to the next step. Tick My dispute isn't based on any of the reasons above. I would still like to dispute this Content ID claim.

Then, click "Continue.”

This will take you to the Select Type tab. Tick License: I have permission or a license to use the content claimed in my video, then click "Continue.”

You will then be taken to the Review Requirements tab. Tick the box for I have permission to use the content from the copyright owner.

This will take you to the last step, the Provide Rationale tab. Here, you'll need to copy and paste the license from the .txt license file you downloaded from StoryArt.

Next, if you agree, tick all three boxes under Please review the statements below and check the boxes to agree. Then, enter your full name in the Signature box and click "Submit.”

Once you submit the dispute, the claim will be cleared within 96 hours at most.

If any issues arise, contacting the author directly via their StoryArt profile often speeds up the process. And if you have trouble reaching the author, please contact us.
