Why Is My Audio Missing After Uploading My Animotica Video to YouTube?

Q: I added music to my video in Animotica, but after uploading it to YouTube, the audio is gone. What's happening and how can I fix it?

If you've noticed that the music or audio you added in Animotica is missing after uploading your video to YouTube, don't worry - this is a common issue that can often be easily resolved. Here are some steps to troubleshoot and fix the problem:

1. Check the exported video locally: Before uploading it to YouTube, export the video to your device and play it using a local media player. If the audio plays correctly here, the issue is likely related to YouTube rather than Animotica.
2. Verify copyright status of audio: YouTube has a sophisticated copyright detection system. If you're using copyrighted music or audio tracks, YouTube may automatically remove or mute them during the upload process.
3. Use royalty-free audio: To avoid copyright issues, try using royalty-free music or audio tracks in your project. Animotica offers a selection of royalty-free audio options, or you can source them from reputable websites that provide free-to-use audio.
4. Re-export and re-upload: After ensuring you're using copyright-free audio, try exporting your video again from Animotica and re-uploading it to YouTube.

If you've followed these steps and your audio still doesn't play on YouTube, but it does play in Animotica and on your local device, it's likely due to YouTube's copyright policies rather than an issue with Animotica or your export.

Remember, using audio that you have the rights to use is crucial for avoiding copyright strikes on YouTube and ensuring your video's audio remains intact after uploading.
