Scraped videos on Youtube?

Does Youtube penalize duplicated videos?
If so, what is the best way to modify the video that it appears to YT algorithm as original?

The account gets penalized for sure.
The whole idea of editing/modifying something, which is already edited doesn't sound good.
YT is rewarding for creativity.

Background music change / voice over is ok. But what kind of additional video editing is required?

Is there any automatic software editing software which makes the video appear original to YT algorithm while leaving the appearance for humans intact?

You could edit the video colors and zoom crop it

How do I check if my edits were sufficient to make it look original to YT and others? Is there something like Copyscape for videos?

There's nothing like Copyscape for videos. Add more original content to the reused content to increase its uniqueness.

Here's a trick.
- Get 2-3 different video
- Add them both on track but the other one is mute while the main video is not
- Now add music background

So the 2nd video will be totally invisible to humans, while YT-algo sees a different code? That sounds awesome. Can you recommend a simple video editor to do this stuff? And can this be automated for bulk edit?
