After researching how Youtube's copyright system works, I have the option dispute the claim that hit my video.
It's not 100% clear, but the Email I got seems to indicate that it's still an automated ID claim. (Also, a few private draft versions I had to check copyright issues from before got hit all at the same time, which indicates an auto ID bot, at least to me).
Problem is this. It can take up to 30 days for the claimant to release the hold over the video, in my case, it's a company, not a person. If they fail to respond, the video goes back up. If they double down, I can make an appeal that it's under fair use. (Which should be blatantly obvious to anyone who watched it). If that also fails, I'm forced to delete the video within a week, or my channel gets a strike.

So this is what I've decided. Because the dispute system might take up to a month, and with a good chance of not making a difference anyway, I'm going to re-release another version with an additional overlay and some minor changes. If THAT gets taken down, then I'm at a loss for what to do.
The video may end up going back into the oven. I'll just have to add more variation of clips from other sources not in the film all over the place until the claim goes away. If I do that, there's no telling when the video will come back. Obviously, I'm not a fan of this option, because I was planning on moving on to many more projects for the channel.
-
The new version should be fully processed, and I'll try to release it tomorrow. (The image below is from the new one). Thanks for all the support and understanding.
I may make a separate video detailing my experience with this video in general. For closure if nothing else.
