Does Joining a MCN Help with Content Matches?

Hi there, first of all apologies if this is the wrong forum as I've never posted here before.

I am a movie-based channel, so I like to do reviews etc. One of my favourite kinds of video to make is a trailer breakdown where I go through the trailer and analyse it. However, EVERY TIME I upload one of these videos, I get content matched. Now, I'm not concerned about not being able to monetise these videos (would be nice though), but constantly having to fight matches and file disputes for fair use is getting annoying.
My question is; if I join a MCN, are my videos offered some kind of protection where content matches either don't become an issue or they are still monetisable?

TL;DR: My trailer reviews keep getting blocked, does joining an MCN offer any protection for this? I don't understand how mine keep getting blocked, but big YouTubers don't have any problems.
 
I think nope, using some music/scene from movie, but IDK why WatchMojo can monetize and not have problem

They have licenses from most major movie studios to allow them to use clips. They are in the exact same position as Movieclips.

A network will not really help against Content ID matches unless you are a managed partner, which I think would be very unlikely to happen based on your type of content.

Cheers. I've tried everything haha; changing the audio pitch, slowing down the video, muting certain parts, but unfortunately YouTube's system is just a lot smarter than I was hoping it would be. It's a shame, it means I probably have to stop making my favourite kind of video.

Why not make your funny face or anything about your original content :)[DOUBLEPOST=1439136720,1439136017][/DOUBLEPOST]

So how about if we use it for Fair use?

Not really sure what you're saying there in that first part.

Unfortunately, these types of videos probably fall under "fair use", but it's a grey area and one in which the claimant holds all the power.
 
Being in a network doesn't help with third party/content ID matches. You will get them whether you are in a network or not. The only time you wouldn't is if the video/audio doesn't have content ID matches or the network has special deals that whitelist certain content (for example, royalty-free music they have licenses for). I don't think any networks have licenses for movie content.

Fair use is not a valid reason in appealing content ID matches and youtube won't accept it despite it appearing in the youtube ToS. Ultimately, you can post them but you won't be able to monetize most of them, unless you exchange the footage with pictures or something.

Those tweaks are only affecting the audio. Visual content can also have content ID matches. If you're feeling ballsy with the law, you have to tweak the visuals itself, i.e. zooming in, flipping horizontal, cropping, etc. (I've never done it so I don't know what works)

Original content without popular movie scene. Oh damn :'( Movies Reviewer is not good maybe :'(
 
that is a tricky niche...
Have you ever tried to put the movie content on a window for example? I see that you put the movie content on the majority of your screen while you are on the corner but, perhaps if you scale down the movie content to occupy around 20% of the video might help? just a thought. Also, decreasing the amount of time you are showing the movie content may help.
Not sure if this helps but you can do a test run to see if any match comes up.
