Rejection not exactly known why.

I received a rejection notice for this video and there are some reasons why it was rejected, but none clear. If it's the audio, I purchased sets of layered audio and used some of that for this video, which I believe works well in this case. Here is what the curator wrote in that rejection. "Unfortunately, the audio in this clip is distracting or may contain recognizable voices or music which you don’t have the right to redistribute. Please delete the audio track from the clip". Any insight would be appreciated.

You purchased music and now trying to resell it inside a video?
I’m sure that is against that license to resell.
Are you new to stock?
You have to have created all of the assets in a video you are trying to sell.

The second part of this is, never put audio in a video.
Buyers want silent so they can put their own music or voiceover.
So your audio will be stripped out anyway.

Hi, thanks for the reply. Being a newbie here I didn't realize that would be considered reselling the audio even though I have purchased the license from Digital Juice to use it in my projects. As far as adding to the video, you're right, I myself would want to add audio after the fact, though when the template asks if there is audio with the file I assumed that contributors were adding audio to their content. I did look around first and found some effects like lightning, but I understand that's different than a guitar riff.

Yes buying a license to use in your project is different than putting it in a video to resell.
A project like a tv commercial is fine.

Got it, that makes sense now, thanks.
