Converting to upload on YOUTUBE

how do i convert an edited project on Imovie into a straight jpeg format that is uploadable to YOUTUBE?

with all respect Sue, but that blog you're linking to, reads a little... hmm... ... amateurish... (I would LOVE to read such a blog of yours with your tons of hints&tricks from your library....)
we did discuss that issue allready here on the board, I allowed me to made some "tests" on my low, amateurish too level…
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=2949811#2949811
the final videos, youtube.com offers, are flv with some settings... unknown is the method/tools youtube uses for converting your uploads; the usual advice: avoid too much inbetween-codecs; the blogger in your link uses h264 as upload codec... that is highly compressed material... my best results are with a straight dv >> .flv (within the youtube specs), my guess, that gets little converted.
my problem is, I don't own "pro" flash-video converters... ffmpeg is ... limited, would be nice, if some Adobe Flash owner would continue the tests...
because, the commercial videos on that site look mucho better... but maybe, they probably have a different access then the rest of us...

Part 1: How to import .mod video to Windows Movie Maker
Step 1: Load files
First copy the MOD file from your video camera to your hard drive, then download, install and run MOD Converter, click the "Add Files" button to browse your computer hard disc and load the MOD/TOD video files you want to convert to the program.
Step 2: Output Setting
In the bottom of the main interface, select an output format supported by Windows Movie Maker for each video file and specify a directory on your computer to save the output files.
Step 3: Start convert
Click "Start" button on right bottom of the main interface, you are allowed to start conversion.
Step 4: Import converted video to Windows Movie Maker
Click on "File". Then click on "Import". A window will appear. In the window, navigate to the video clip you converted just now. Then double click on the file. You'll see the icon for the file in your Windows Movie Maker "Collections".
Part 2: How to edit the video with Windows Movie Maker
Step 1: Add transitions and special effects
In the Movie Tasks pane, under Edit Movie, click View video transitions.
Preview transitions by double-clicking them and watching the Preview Monitor. Once you've found a transition you like, drag it from the Video Transitions pane, under Edit Movie pane to the box between two of your clips. This inserts the transition between the two clips.
Step 2: Add titles and credits
If you want to add a title before, after, or on top of a clip, click the clip on the storyboard or timeline.
In the Movie Tasks pane, under Edit Movie, click Make titles or credits.
Step 3: Add Music
In the Movie Tasks pane in Movie Maker, under Capture Video, click Import audio or music.
In the Import File dialog box, click the name of the song you want to use in the background. Then click Import. This adds your song to your collection but does not add it to your video. Drag the song from the collection to the video clip where you want the music to start playing.
Step 4: Add narration
If you have a desktop computer, connect a microphone. Microphones are available from most electronics stores. If you have a portable computer, you can use the built-in microphone. However, you will get a better-quality recording if you connect an external microphone. In Movie Maker, click the Tools menu, and then click Narrate Timeline. On the timeline, click the clip you want to narrate. You can narrate clips one at a time, or you can narrate the entire movie all at once. If you narrate individual clips, you can rearrange them later and keep your narration synchronized. If the narration is too loud or too soft in comparison to the movie, right-click the narration on your timeline, and then click Volume.
Step 5: To save your movie to your computer
In the Movie Tasks pane, under Finish Movie, click Save to my computer.
The Save Movie Wizard appears. On the Save Movie File page, type a name for your movie. You can also choose a folder to save it in by clicking the Browse button, but My Videos (the default) is usually the best place to save your movie. Then click Next. On the Movie Setting page, click Next to accept the default setting of Best quality for playback on my computer.
Movie Maker saves your movie, which might take several minutes. On the Completing the Save Movie Wizard page, click Finish. If Play movie when I click Finish was selected (it is selected by default), the movie will automatically play in Windows Media Player. Now you can watch your videos anytime by opening your My Videos folder and double-clicking your movie.

Why isn't my iMovie video uploading to YouTube

Why isn't my iMovie video uploading to YouTube?

Hi, it could be the video incompatible issue. You can try to convert your iMovie video to YouTube supported foramt using a video conversion program and then upload the converted video to YouTube.

Quicktime Pro VS Sorenson Squeeze which is better for uploading to YouTube?

I'm thinking of buying Quicktime Pro or Sorenson Squeeze - which is better for uploading to YouTube? Which would give my video better quality?
Also, with regard to Sorenson Squeeze: The website says these are its requirements - could someone explain what each of them means in logical terms?
Mac OS X system requires:
Power PC with G5 processor or greater or Intel processor - (I'll be using this program with a MacBook Pro - will this work?)
Mac OS X 10.4 or later - (Again, will this work with a MacBook Pro?)
512 MB of RAM
QuickTime 7.2 or later
DirectX 9.0b or later (What is this and how will I get it? Is it free?)
* Mac users must have the Flip4Mac plugin from Telestream (Is this plugin free?) ** Windows only feature * Plugin sold separately
Please be as specific as possible.
Thank you so much in advance for answering my questions! It is really helpful!

First.
You have no control over the conversion to Flash video (done during the YouTube upload) if you use QuickTime .mov format.
Second.
YouTube does allow H.264 Video for its "high quality" display so you would want a QuickTime .mov container.
Now you are even more confused than when you started.
Flip4Mac allows export from QuickTime (and apps like iMovie that use it) to Windows Media Player (.wmv) formats. They will also be converted to Flash Video by YouTube so you gain nothing by using it.
You don't need Squeeze, QuickTime Pro or the Flip4Mac upgrades. Just use iMovie 7 (part of iLife '08).

Why won't Quicktime movie upload to YouTube?

I made a Flip-4-Mac video using handheld Flip video device....then uploaded to my iMac as an .avi file. Decided to upload to YouTube but file was nearly 30 minutes long.... so then used the QuickTime Player 10.0 (133) 'trim' feature to divide video into 3 (not quite equal) parts. This left me with 3 separate videos labeled Part 1, Part 2, Part 3. They are .mov files.
Using QuickTime's 'Upload to YouTube' option, I began upload of Part 1. During upload, a message appeared saying audio might not be in sync, and then I got an error message saying upload couldn't be completed.
Anyone have any ideas? Is the VeeScope Converter an option?

Thanks, but the instructions within those links are too over the top for me. Will have to find a techie to help sort it out. Appreciate the links and will print out the info.
Then switch your editing work flow to one that forces recompression of your files for sharing to YouTube. The fact that your current work flow goes from AVI to MOV file containers implies you could be using a "Save as..." operation rather than an H.264/AAC conversion. This means your MOV file main still contain whatever audio and video codecs were used to create the original AVI file. Since you did not tell us what compression formats are involved here, provide a specific work flow, indicate the duration or target display involved, all we can do is make guesses at what problems you may be experiencing and their possible solutions. If you do not understand the instructions as provided by YouTube for optimal uploads, the use an editing app that also shares your edited files directly to YouTube as such apps should export the edited content using compression formats currently compatible with the YouTube web site software.

Best Video/audio format to upload to YouTube

Please recommend best Video/audio format to upload to YouTube, for a) upload speed, b) picture and sound quality.

Emailing video can be a real drama.
You can easily convert YouTube video if you have the free software MPEG Streamclip: http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
Download version 1.9.3b4 and install in your applications.
Open then File > Open URL and copy/paste the YT clip address.
Then File > Export to QuickTime and select Apple Intermediate Codec for the compression.
The converted file will import into iMovie.

APE 7 best file format to share for later upload to YouTube?

i capture on a Canon FS11 in standard definition widescreen PAL an use adobe premiere elements 7. i generally trim clips and put a title on, maybe adjust the sound level before uploading to YouTube.
Occasionally I have internet connection problems when sharing from APE7 (eg due to slow or intermittent wifi) and it hangs. Or i edit clips when out and about say on a train and have no reliable upload at all.
So I would rather share clips to save on my hard drive and then upload to youtube manually later when hooked up to a stable wired commection.
What is the best format/settings to save/share to my hard drive that will achieve best qaulity when uploaded to youtube and converted there. I am aware there is a trade off between quality and file size and i should like to find the best compromise with a smallish file size.
thanks for your help in advance

Mpeg, flv, merging, rendering, & uploading to youtube

my first video upload to youtube, made with a Canon 5D Mk II -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LI1sDaI0YgE (caution: PG-13) -- was practically out-of-the-camera.
in my second video (made during the same photoshoot), i deleted the in-camera audio and dubbed in audio from a Zoom H4n (it's underneath the handkerchief, atop the couch and between the two models).
i also added a music soundtrack underneath the models' narration. but, try as i might, i could not find a "merge" function in the drop-down menus or by right-clicking in various place on the timeline.
i converted the .prel file to an mpeg (which seemed to be the only conversion option), and its size is less than 1/2 GB.
but, because the mpeg seemed quite choppy in playback (and not knowing whether this was merely a problem with my playback software [Quicktime, Windows Media Player, IrfanView, etc]), instead of going to youtube's site and uploading the mpeg file, i used the Pre Elements 7 "export" function directly from the prel file. this took only about 10 minutes. however, the file (which youtube says is now .flv) has been "in processing" for the past 36 hours(!)
i'd like to doing a merge with the underlying prel file, and see if that helps.
how do i do this?

Let's do a bit of background work first.
The .PREL file is but an XML database of the Project in PrE. It contains zero media. It only contains links to the media used, and instructions on what to do with it. That is all. It can only be used in PrE, or with a few exceptions, in PrPro. It can be opened in an XML, or word processing program, but all one can do in either is view, or edit those links and insturctions - nothing else.
Now, with that .PREL file open in PrE, and the media available and in the exact location that it was, when the Project was last saved, you CAN edit with it.
The output will be a media file, not as a .PREL (though you will want to save that, if work has been done, so you can come back to that Project later). The format of that output (either Export, or Share), will be of your choice, per your needs. It will likely be something like an .AVI, .MOV, .MPEG or FLV file, and can be played on an appropriate player. The Export/Share must be done, to get the Project into a "container," that can be used by other programs.
For your Canon 5D MK II, your files are in .MOV format, but with a few differences, compared to many .MOV files. There are several useful discussions on the Adobe Premiere CS4 forum, regarding those particular .MOV files. A search on "Canon 5D MK II," and variations, will yield about six, IIRC. They will be very informative.
Now, in PrPro (PrE's "big-brother") I've edited sample 5D MK II .MOV files, as a test for others. I have not tried with PrE, so do not know the limitations. However, Steve's rec. to convert outside of PrE is a good one. I do this for most non-DV-AVI Type II material. Note: with the exception of tests for others, I only edit SD material, so I do not work with all of the HD formats and CODEC's. QT Pro does a good job, when starting from .MOV and .MP4 formats, with many common CODEC's, that are used in those files. I use it as a conversion tool for much work. It is much more than just a "player."
As for the "merging" of the Audio, that is done by PrE. Basically, when you Export/Share, PrE downmixes all Audio to a single Master. In PrE, this WILL be a stereo downmix. The exact format/CODEC of that downmix will depend on the settings of your Export/Share. To get an idea of this, open up Window>Audio Mixer. You will see all of your Audio Tracks, and will also see the Master to the far-right of that Panel. That is your downmix. While there are other ways to adjust the Audio Tracks for that downmix to the Master, I use, and recommend that one use, the Audio Mixer for the final settings in the downmix to the Master. It allows for some automation (at a Track level) and also almost infinite control. I keep it open in all of my PrPro Projects, and would not be without it. Take a look at it, while you play, and you will see a visual representation of you downmix to the Master.
Hope that this helps.
Good luck,
Hunt

Converting a movie to youtube

Hi, I encoded a video using apple pro res 422 (Proxy), the final size of the video was under 2gb but when I uploaded it said it failed to convert on youtube. I'm now trying to re-encode this video to another format but I'm using windows and don't know of any programs which can do this. All the .mov to h.264,wmv,mpeg,etc... programs that I've tried does not work, it keeps giving me an error message whenever they try to convert the movie file. Does anyone know how I can get this movie uploaded onto youtube? Thanks.

Is compressor a Mac program? I am actually using Windows right now and don't have access to a Mac.
I actually found a program called foxreal, it was $35 but it got the job done and was the only converter I found that could convert my video (on windows anyway). I don't have access to the original Final Cut Pro project anymore as it was done for CampusMovieFest and I no longer have the laptop. The nice thing about foxreal is that they use the nvidia CUDA cores too so converting gets done faster. Anyways, thanks for the reply.

Is it better to output t master file and then upload to youtube?

I had to upload 33 videos to youtube today
This has taken tooo long
Just wondering, is it better to create a master file and then upload to youtube?
I could maybe just copy the files to another machine and leave it to upload?
Thanks
Omar

just to add:
don't try to upload your Masterfile to YouTube!
usually, the Masterfile is a copy of the projects timeline = proRes.
that creates incredible large files = time for upload, wasting bandwidth, and YT will complain 'wrong settings'
After saving a masterfile, which goes fast, you should use a 'Converter' of your choice (QuicktimePro, Mpg Streamclip, Compressor) to transcode into YT's recommended upload settings.-

I have the newest imovie as i got a macbook for christmas, i have made a video and want to upload it to youtube and it is a quicktime file, but yet it is still taking ages to upload and youtube says if i change the format it will take less time,help?

I need help for how to upload a video on youtube when it is a quicktime file but how i change it to a streamable format in order for it to not take as long to upload, how do i do this?

I have the same issue. If you are exporting from iMovie version 10.0.1, I run into the same issues if I export directly to YouTube or if I export to file then upload to YouTube.
Google's help file doesn't properly address this problem and thier help is also out of date. In talking to a support rep at Apple, they said the export to YouTube should just work or the exporting to a file then uploading otherwise it's an issue for Google support.
If someone can post a solution that works (is a streamable format - which is different than the format that YouTube accepts as it will accept many formats but take a long time to process them), I'd be interested to hear also.
Thanks,
Rob.

I movie w/ spliced pics throw off movie when uploaded to youtube? The pics lag and is now off with the audio. Doesn't happen with video, just pics and it's worse if I splice the pics to fit audio. Suggestions?

This is really annoying. I movie hd works well when compressing it to quicktime and uploading to youtube but when there's pics involved and I have to slice them to fit audio it messes with the timing in conjunction to the audio. Any ideas? It works fine in quicktime when compressed but once it's uploaded to youtube it acts fishy. Even though it's fine in quicktime it seems to be an issue in I movie and how it's compressed or something.
I movie HD- 5.0.2
quicktime player- 7.5.5
Compression settings
compression: h.264
quality: high
key frame rate:24
frame rec: yes
encoding mode: multi pass
dimensions: 320x 240
sound
format: acc
sample rate: 48.000khz
channels:mono
bit rate:64kbps

That's fantastic, worked really well, just like you said. I actually didn't expect such an easy solution to my problem, thanks very much.
It had the added bonus that it allows me to import the files quicker than before to iMovieHD if I am editing them.
Thanks again

How do I save in a .mov in v10 so I can upload to youtube?

Really struggling with v10. When I hit share - file it does not give me an option for file extensions and instead only exports as an mp4 which will not upload to youtube. The share to youtube feature is worthless because when I attempt it, says sign up is required but when I have my own channel with subscribers, clearly I've signed up. Can anyone help me with any way to export in a file format that will allow me to upload to youtube? Thank you so much for your help!!!!!!!

Premiere
What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
What is the player that you are using?
For now, I will assume that you are using Premiere Elements 11, 12, or 13 on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit.
What are the properties of what you are putting on the project's Timeline?
And, what are your project settings?
The basic idea is to set up the project settings (you manually or the project automatically) to match your source properties.
After the editing phase and you are ready to export to a file saved to the computer hard drive, you go to Publish+Share/
Computer/ and make your choice. There is more than you can see for Computer choices. You use the thin scroll bar
to the right of the choices to scroll down to see the whole list.
If you want an export with a .mp4 file extension, then you should be looking at
Publish+Share
Computer
AVCHD
with one of the MP4 presets described with the properties comparable to your source.
You can also find an .mp4 export under
Publish+Share
Mobile Phones and Players
If you obtained a file with a .mpg file extension, I am guessing that you got as far as what you could see, that is, Publish+Share/Computer/MPEG.
Lots of possibilities...but keep in mind that .mp4 is just a file extension (container/wrapper format that wraps the important video and audio compressions).
So, we can discuss that further.

How do I save changes to the clip and upload to youtube as the correct saved file to show the clip as it has been saved?

After I edit an .mp4 to have a slow motion portion it does not play the saved clip as it has been saved when uploaded to youtube. Is this a youtube issue. When I watch the same file in quicktime it is is correct and how I saved it.

here is a link to a video that i exported from quicktime pro:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBbGRF0Z9_8
you'll notice the flashing color tints. that is from quicktime pro. the original video was a bit dark, i used quicktime pro to adjust the brightness when exporting, and this is how it came out. it will give you a seizure if you watch it too long. it does this to all of the videos that i export if i try to make the least bit of adjustment. using adobe or any other program the videos export just fine.
can anyone tell me what's going on here? apple's "pro" products are really getting worse and worse. if they want to be a consumer grade company they shouldn't advertise a pro product. and if they want to be a pro company they need to start supporting their products and addressing these issues.
any help will be very much appreciated.
