Can FYProof spot it?
A full check of your video looks for it in what's shown. What a check finds is an estimate, not a guarantee.
- Video: looked at for this rule
- Speech: not for this rule
- On-screen text: not for this rule
- Caption: not for this rule
- Hashtags: not for this rule
It doesn't recognize songs or match clips against copyright catalogs, so it can't tell whether you have the rights to them.
It doesn't read details stored inside the file, such as labels an editing app adds.
Part of this rule depends on your account or on what happens after you post, which a check before posting can't see.
