Creators ask me all the time how they can post video clips on Instagram without having copyright violations. It can be done, and I am going to tell you exactly how to do it:
1. Keep it short
· Instagram’s algorithms are preprogramed to identify long-form video clips
· Keep it short
· I know “short” can be subjective, but I recommend making the clip 1-3 seconds long
2. Make the video clip your own
· Change the video clip by making it seem as your own (through meaning or expression)
· Try commenting, responding, transformation, fundamentally changing it, and/or mixing it up
· My video that accompanies this blog contains an awesome mashup of songs an artist created that didn’t get a copyright strike.
3. Modify the video clip
· Physically alter the video clip
· Change the color scheme
· Add some noise
· Slow down the clip
· Digitally change the clip
· Again, many great examples are provided in my YT video about this subject
If you want to learn more about copyright laws and fair use exceptions, I have several other videos that discuss these topics in depth.
