Thank you very much! I'm sorry, what ND-symbol are you talking about?

Creative Commons ND stands for No-Derivatives, meaning you cannot adapt the work. You can only use it to it's full extend as is. But I doubt YT Library will have any of that, it's most likely all CC-By. (CC-By is shown by a CC and an icon of a person, ND is shown by an equal sign) check https://creativecommons.org/ for more details on this.

<p>Thank you for helping me! I have a very simple question but I just can't find the answer to it: <strong>Am I allowed to cut the music from the audio library of YouTube</strong> (the one in YouTube studio)? So for example if the music is 2 min long but your video is only 1 min long, are you allowed to delete the rest?
I searched here, on YouTube and on the internet. I seem to not get an answer anywhere?</p>

Thank you for helping me! I have a very simple question but I just can't find the answer to it: **Am I allowed to cut the music from the audio library of YouTube** (the one in YouTube studio)? So for example if the music is 2 min long but your video is only 1 min long, are you allowed to delete the rest?
