Gary When a video is uploaded to a monetised YouTube account, one of the first pages your taken to is where you can select if that particular video is monetised or not. Even if you selected to monetise that video, it would be flagged straight away and you will receive an email something like this below A copyright owner using Content ID has claimed some material in your video. Your video is live and the visibility settings you selected remain applied to it. But it is now either being monetized by the copyright owner, or they have chosen to receive analytics about it. This is not a copyright strike. This claim does not affect your account status. Video title: Canon R5 + Jewels of the Gold Coast Copyrighted content: Welcome To The Machine Claimed by: Pink Floyd Next steps If there are no problems, you don’t need to take any action and you don’t need to delete your video. If something went wrong and the copyright owner or our system made a mistake, we have a dispute process. Only use it if you’re confident you have the rights to use all the content in your video.

In the next steps section above, I’ve taken the first option to mean that if I’m happy for the monetisation to go to the music creator, then the video can remain posted. The monetisation isn’t important to me and under the circumstances it’s hard to argue that any money generated by the song shouldn’t go to the creator. When you think about this issue and see the amount of copyright material that is posted on YouTube, this seems to me to be a fair way and probably the only way to deal with it. Assuming I’ve drawn the correct conclusions and by this time next week I’m not in Jail….

I spent a lot of time searching for royalty free music for these images and none had the impact I was looking for. No offence to Eric Matyas and others, but I couldn’t find anything that I thought worked well. My YouTube Chanel has recently been monetised, so within seconds of posting anything with copyright music, it’s flagged and your informed by email. However, what they do, as long as I’ve got this right, is to divert any revenue created to the music creator and the video can remain posted. I have no issues with that at all. In fact it a good way to deal with copyright issues in my view. If no money is being made, where’s the problem and if money is being made (albeit a tiny amount) the technology now allows that to be identified and diverted to the creator.

It was only one visit me not a long time, there is just a lot of opportunity for images. In fact, I wish I had spent a bit more time, or went back the next day when the sun was in a different spot.

Rosie. I copied and pasted it from word and perhaps its taken the formatting. See if this is better Dbolt. You have to be practical and most of what we would like to be able to do, may not be possible or practical. If it were me, I’d make my presentation as an Mp4 video - 1920*1080 pixels at 60p. I’d also create an EXE as a backup and I’d take two USB sticks, with the same content on both. Just in case one USB chose that time to throw a wobbly. Not likely, but better safe than sorry. Copy the content to the computer and run it from there as a preference. You don’t say if the venue is a Camera Club, but if it is, any club that does not have the equipment to play that Mp4 should be drummed out of the Brownies.

It is a darn good camera though.

Alex55 I think you’ll find that the camera plays a much less important part in the process than being at the right place at the right time. The video below explains https://youtu.be/f0YO_hPo0u0

I use a Canon R5 full frame Mirrorless camera for these images.

JRR I just read your comment again and feel the need to say I agree with you, if I am reading your meaning correctly when you say. Too many people go the route of "look what I can do Mom!" with all that is available to them. I have to say it’s something I’ve always thought, but it’s not easy to find the appropriate words to express that without feathers flying. In my view, far too much effort is placed on transient effects, even though they maybe sophisticated and clever, and nowhere near enough effort on the quality of what is being displayed or how the images are synchronised to the soundtrack. If there is a place we should see good examples of Audio Visual, surely it’s on a dedicated forum like this, but those examples are few and far between. The most lengthy threads seem to be tied up with obscure technical issues and rarely do we see any discussion on technique and production issues that affect the main thing we strive for. That our presentation is well received and does not have viewers reaching for the escape key one minute in. There’s a YouTuber I view who does not appear to be a photographer, but his presentations are very appealing to me, because he concentrates on the content, synchronisation and he keeps things simple.

JRR. Thank you. The music is royalty free supplied by Google for use on YouTube. Anything copy-right gets flagged within a minute of posting.

Make sure you copy and past it into the registration. If it worked before, it should work now.

Good point

My experience is the reverse of yours Jill. From the earliest days of digital cameras I’ve only ever used card readers. That would be about 25 years now and I’ve never connected any of my cameras to my computer to download images. I’ve not had one failure in all that time, be that a card failure or lost images, but I always format the card in the camera and never allow software to remove images from the card as part of the download process. I also don’t allow images to build up on a card either, which means the cards are in and out of my camera probably a lot more than most peoples. I download the images I shoot every day with few exceptions. Then format the card ready for the next day out. I’m not sure what one persons experience amounts to, but with not one issue in all that time suggests I must be doing something right. I do buy good quality cards, but I have to admit my card reader was a cheap one that I used for many years. Only changed it recently when I needed to download the new type of Compact Flash cards.

The posting method that seems to be the most popular is to output your presentation to an Mp4 video at 60p and post it to YouTube. You can link directly to that show from the forum. Example below

I wouldn’t put money on this, but I think it’s an issue at the software/forum end. I’ve had the -200 issue on my own forum in the past and it was an issue with the forum software, or a server setting.

I was a bit skeptical that Photoshop would cause this, but posted just for info, probably never happen again. ‘Many thanks

I’m not sure if this will help someone, but a recent contact to me could not get the Themes & Styles button to work in PTE AV Studio. I made all the usual suggestions about a reboot and clean instal and also removing cache, but he said it had no affect. I’ve just been told that closing down Photoshop before installing PTE AV Studio has cured the problem, but something doesn’t seem right to me. However, I thought I’d post it for information.

Can you define “Modern”
