Finding original audio name after remix.
K

I use many of the Soundstripe audio files in Powerdirector 365 for my productions. After using the "Smart Fit for Duration" tool, the file name is changed to something like "blahblahblah_remix.wav." Is there any way to find out what the original file name or name of the song was? I'm getting YouTube copyright errors and I'm unable to upload the YouTube codes once the file name changes. The name of the song that YouTube tells me I'm using is not accurate. Thanks for any help!

YouTube doesn't detect content via filename at all. So, it doesn't matter what the filename of your music file is on timeline in PD before you exported the project.
Your video production (which is uploaded to YouTube) is not possible to contain the filename of music in the video itself, either. That's technically impossible in a normal video file.
According to the FAQ, you can acquire an one-time licensing code of each music clip after right clicking on music clips at the Soundstripe download panel, and this licensing code must be pasted in the video description field before you upload the video file to YouTube.
The code cannot be inserted after the video is uploaded (won't take effect at all).
If there are multiple music clips you used in one video, you has to follow the format that Soundstripe specifies to divide the licensing codes in the video description field.
If this is the case: "The name of the song that YouTube tells me I'm using is not accurate.", YouTube might make mistakes and we know YouTube frequently makes mistakes. Issue an complaint to YouTube.
Some music clips might also be claimed by fake companies out there, which are not rare nowadays, and YouTube should be responsible for that.
Let's hold YouTube to do their jobs right.

QC 2.0 Thanks so much. I did dispute two claims merely by explaining the audio files were from a Powerdirector 365 subscription and supplied the YouTube code generated by the by Powerdirector (not that that really made a difference) Both videos were released very quickly. Yes, it has something to do with shorts, the one minute limit and the vertical format. I have several landscape videos and never had a problem with copyright.
Still wondering if there is a way to reclaim the original audio file name in the Powerdirector timeline after editing. For the time being, I simply change the alias while I still remember the original file name!
