Changing content and reuploading to another channel

I worked on a video for months that got deleted and I want to change things up, then upload it on another channel. I believe I know what flagged it.

The former channel has been demonetized for months. I don't want to reapply again because they will never give me monetization again unless I delete all of my best videos which would kill the channel, so I want to start a new channel.

To not feel like I wasted months editing that video, I would like to switch things up, and reupload it. Things I would change:

-Move camera angles a bit
-Different characters (they would have different colors, shapes etc)
-Different music
-Different textures but similar
-Different title, keywords etc

The scenes durations would be the same. I could change them, I have full control, but it may trigger the bot since camera scenes switch at the same time? or these changes above would be enough to not trigger the bot?

Also if the video was deleted by YT, the copyright match does not work anyway. So im assuming im safe from my own deleted video triggering the bot for copyright match. However I don't know if someone reuploaded that video somewhere else since since it had around 1 million views.

I just don't want to have any problems here, but at the same time I don't want to put this video in the dustbin. I still believe it had potential, so I wanted to repurpose it for my new channel. I just want to do it safely.

Has anyone done something like this before?

Since the video was deleted, you should be safe from the copyright match bot.

Even if you delete the old videos, it cannot be monetized again once it is demonetized.

If it was your own video, there will never be issue of copyright. But it still has to follow the guidelines on YouTube.

Creating and growing a new YouTube channel after your old channel has been demonetized is not an easy task. However, if you've invested a lot of effort into your content and want to reuse videos from your old channel, there is a way to do this safely and effectively.

First, you need to understand the violations that led to the demonetization of your old channel. This understanding will help you avoid repeating similar mistakes when creating your new channel.

If your old channel was demonetized due to copyright violations, you need to remove that content when uploading it to your new channel. You can cut the copyrighted segments, remove copyrighted audio, and replace it with different music.

If your channel was demonetized due to community guideline violations, you need to reevaluate your content thoroughly. Review YouTube's copyright policy and consider the risks of continuing with the same content. While sensitive topics on YouTube can attract a large viewership, they also come with inherent risks. For example, content related to changing clothing in front of a camera, while featuring attractive individuals, can be a sensitive area with a high risk of copyright violations. Similarly, if you create content related to children, you need to be cautious about the potential community guideline violations. If you create educational content, ensure that it is safe for all viewers and complies with community guidelines.

The following guidance will help you find ways to edit your videos before uploading them to your new channel.

Make important changes to the following elements:

Camera Angle: Slightly adjust the camera angle to give the new video a different look.

Characters and Images: Use different characters or change the colors, shapes, etc., to create uniqueness.

Music: Use different music compared to your old videos.

Structure: Change how you organize the video while maintaining the length of the scenes.

Titles and Keywords: Use different titles and keywords to differentiate your new video from the old one.

If your old channel has been demonetized, avoid reapplying for monetization on the same channel. Instead, create a new channel and modify your personal information, including the name, profile picture, and channel description. This will help establish a clear distinction between your old and new channels.

Do not link your new channel to your old Google AdSense account. While this may be challenging, it ensures that your new channel is not associated with any past violations on the old channel.

If creating a new Google AdSense account is problematic, you can still link your new channel to your old account, but this carries increased risks because YouTube will recognize you as someone who previously had a channel with violations.

Before reuploading edited videos, carefully check for copyright issues. Ensure that all content elements, such as music, images, and text, are either copyright-free or used legally, with the necessary permissions.

Once you've made content changes, created a new channel, and addressed copyright issues, you can upload your edited videos to your new channel. Make sure to create a detailed video profile to protect yourself in case of disputes or requests from YouTube.

Reusing videos from your old channel after demonetization can be a good way to start a new channel on YouTube. However, making significant changes and adhering to YouTube's rules is crucial to ensure the uniqueness and safety of your new channel. We wish you success in developing your new channel!
