IMovie 11 is not uploading to Youtube after finalization.

I am trying to upload a 2:49 minute long movie to YouTube, but am currently unsuccesful.
The project is finished being finalized (720p), but after it goes through the long process of "uploading to Youtube", there isn't a notification with a link for the video and it isn't on my channel. It seems the project is cancelled by YouTube at the last second, and it's getting quite frustrating.
What exactly is the problem? Is there some sort of workaround I can use to upload the video?

I think this may be the quickest workaround:
Go to Share Menu > Export Movie... (set it to 720p) and save it to the Desktop
Open the YouTube website in your favorite web browser, login to your account.
Go to the YouTube upload page, and have it upload the video fromo your Desktop
The beauty of this versus the iMovie upload is the status messages are a little more reassuring as it progresses. I always feel like I know how much longer I need to wait. And then at the end it gives you the URL to see the video after it post-processes the whole thing. So publishing direct, will get around this problem.
As for the problem, itself. I've ready many people's posts to the iMovie Discussion group with a similar YouTube upload from iMovie problem. No one to my recollection has written back with a description of a fix for this. Some people couldn't login to YouTube at all through iMovie it wouldn't accept their credentials. That was fixed by using the correct username for the YouTube account after Google took them over (some people had a username, other used an email address for their username). It sounds more like the upload is failing than the username and password not being accepted. So I would just do the workaround unless you wanted to test iMovie again in the future to see if it suddenly starts working again.

  • Imovie 11 not uploading to youtube

    Edit a video in iMovie 11, as I have always done.  Current upload to YOUTUBE continues to lose connection to server.  My internet connection is running correctly.  I have uploaded videos directly to youtube via the site with no problems to test if there was a connection to server issue as well.
    I tried to upload video to via the youtube site and it stops uploading around 60%.  Mind you I DID upload this same video 3 days ago after trying 13 times via the youtube site.  I had to take it down because I accidently allowed youtube to do one of the "fixes" to my videdo and it ruined it and I was able to unapply it.
    So 3 days later my video will NOT upload via iMovie 11 or directly from the site.
    The file is only 312.1 MB and the format is .mov
    So not sure why I am having issues.

    I think this may be the quickest workaround:
    Go to Share Menu > Export Movie... (set it to 720p) and save it to the Desktop
    Open the YouTube website in your favorite web browser, login to your account.

  • IMovie 11 Can't Upload to YouTube - Movie Length

    YouTube is now allowing 15 minutes uploads standard to all users.  My limits are about 40 minutes and 3GB AFAIK.  However, when trying to upload iMovie Projects over 10 minutes to YouTube within iMovie (Share>YouTube) I get an error message that the movie is too long.  That requireds me to use the Share>Export Movie and then upload via the YouTube web interface.  It's not nearly as convenient.  Is there any fix for this problem?  I saw another thread about this, but it was archived without an answer.
    Any idea when Apple is going to update iMovie?  It's long over due IMHO.
    Thanks!

    The best answer is to do what you are doing - use the web browser.
    This has some benefits. You can upload multiple movies in batch, and you can continue working in iMovie as you upload.
    If you want to tell Apple that you want this feature, open iMovie and click iMovie/Provide Feedback.

  • Premiere Elements 10 not Uploading to YouTube

    As with other threads, upload to YouTube is suddenly failing for me with "Online Services encountered an error". Since upload to YouTube is my main use for PE10 this is more than a little bit unsatisfactory. Any fixes?
    Andrew

    Andrew
    We are on the same wavelength. I just saw your post in that other thread and was going to suggest that you post in this thread so that we could continue troubleshooting your YouTube issue.
    When I saw your post, I immediately went to my Premiere Elements 10 Windows 7 64 bit to try for the Share/Online/YouTube, thinking it possible that the fix may have become unfixed.
    Good news and bad news. I had no problems with the Premiere Elements 10 upload to YouTube from within Premiere Elements 10
    (4:53 PM  Monday March 24, 2014, East Time Zone USA).
    1. With your YouTube issue, are you still getting the Online Services error message? Or has the error message changed to something else?
    2. Could you
    a. Go to Edit Menu/Preferences/Web Sharing and do a Refresh of Online Services if you have not already.
    b. If you use a router for your computer, turn it off for about 30 seconds and back on.
    c. What browser do you use? If FIrefox, clear out the Cache Web Content.....Options/Content/Network/Cache Web Content.
    Did any of the above have any impact on your YouTube problem?

  • IMovie project does not upload correctly

    Whenever I upload my movie from iMovie to Youtube or FaceBook, the first clip is a jumbled mess. It looks like it is taking images from my desktop. Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

    In my experience the TV Safe Area is way too conservative.
    Over many years of using iMovie and iDVD I find the TV Safe Area of little value. Generally, only a very small amount of the image near the edges disappears when you make a DVD.
    For the best quality I generally use iMovie 06 with iDVD 11.

  • QTs from compressor not uploading on youtube?

    I've done this before, just not recently.  Can't get these things past the 1% range.  They loaded with no problem on vimeo.  Full res from FCP into compressor with the "you tube sharing" setting.  I did turn the frame controls on and set them to "best" but I've done that in the past I think.
    Thanks in advance.

    > It's 268mb.  That shouldn't be a problem should it?<
    Those are questions for Youtube, not FCP users.

  • I can not upload my pages after 13:00 from today March 14

    Hello
    Something happened today after 13:00. I was working in my iweb and when I tried publish my changes, the mobileme, registration window appear as If I have no mobile me account.
    It also appears as if my space at idisk, is full but after I go to my account I have only use 17mb from 20gb.
    Can someone help me please?
    It is about my job...
    Thanks

    It's not the amount of space. There are problems with the communications between iWeb and MobileMe.
    First log of of MMe in the System/MMe preferences. Then try logging in with a bogus user name and password. That will purge the login caches. Then use the right user name and password. Now try publishing again.
    If the above fails log into another account on your Mac, log in to MobileMe via the System/MMe preference pane and see what the use and capacity of your iDisk is. Then open iWeb, create a test site with a page or two and try publishing. See what happens.
    NOTE: you have tried rebooting haven't you? If you haven't cleared out caches in a while you might try using OnyX in its Automation mode to rum the maintenance scripts and clear the various caches as shown in this screenshot:

    Reboot afterward. That has cleared up a lot of issues for me at different times.

  • Flash does not work on youtube after update

    I use Firefox on Fedora 14 x86_64. I do not have the 32-bit applications or libraries installed. I have been having the problem for a while. I saw it with FF 3.6.14, FF 3.6.15, and FF 4 beta. I do not know if this is specifically a FF issue. Firefox operates the Adobe flash module with NS Wrapper and the problem seem to be with NS Wrapper. I do not know how the FF and the NS Wrapper projects are related.
    The problem is that 90% of the time FF fails to startup the video player plugin when I visit a page with video. It plays normally once it starts but usually it just doesn't start. When it happens, there are usually no graphics drawn for the video object (no black box, no thumbnail, no video player gadget, just a big empty space). When I run from a terminal then I get the error messages listed below.
    I am using the recent 64-bit flash release. flashplayer10_2_p3_64bit_linux_111710. This worked before and it works with the Konqueror browser.
    software:
    nspluginwrapper.x86_64 1.3.0-15.fc14
    firefox.x86_64 3.6.15-1.fc14
    firefox4.x86_64 4.0-0.13.b11.fc14
    glibc.x86_64 2.13-1
    kernel.x86_64 2.6.35.11-83.fc14
    errors:

    Flash plugin crashes every time it loads.
    Flash works fine here on Firefox and Safari (actually 10.6 users shouldn't be using Safari as Apple doesn't support it anymore)
    You said you reinstalled OS X, but that only does OS X unless you first wiped the drive of all users (and their data!) and programs.
    So your issue is likely a corrupted Flash user cache file or user permissions issue in your user account.
    Since you uninstalled and reinstalled Flash and the problem continues, that would suggest it's the cause.
    It can likely be confirmed by logging into another user account.
    You can delete your Flash cache file in the Apple menu > System Preferences also use the OnyX routine in the Step by Step fixes should clear other cache issues.
    Also run through this list of fixes to eliminate other issues (like failed user account permissions) as you generally tune up your machine.

  • IPod not uploading new music after I reformatted computer

    I have a 5G 30GB iPod Video that hasn't given me any problems in the past. I just did a complete system restore on my laptop because my hard drive crashed (luckily I had just backed up my music) so I've put everything back to how it was before, but I've also downloaded some new music.
    Now, when I plug in my iPod, it recognizes the iPod just fine, shows all the statistics (free space, etc...) but it won't upload any of the new music...even when I right click on the iPod and click sync. It will say iPod updating, but it doens't upload any of the music. Any ideas?

    Have you checked to see if the ipod is set to update automatically in itunes? If you use your ipod on another computer and set it to update manually there this setting will stay with the ipod.

  • 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.

  • Iphoto will not upload / freezes have to force quit.

    Mac OSX version 10.6.8  iphoto will not upload photos. After iphoto is open , it freezes and I have to forcequit. Any one have a simple fix for this?

    Try this:  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists.
    If iPhoto does not freeze when importing photos into the new, test library then your current library is the culprit. If that's the case if you have the space available on your hard drive and don't aready have a backup copy of the library make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • I can not export imovie 11 to youtube. I tried exporting with quicktime so I could upload through youtube,but it had no sound. Very frustrating. When I upload through youtube it looks as if it is working, but I get no confirmation. Tried it many times.

    The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
    Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
    However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.
    Click the Try something new! link at the bottom of the YouTube page.
    I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check.

  • I uploaded a video to youtube via imovie 08 and it's not showing on youtube

    Title pretty muc says it. In my project in iMovie, it'S written puublicated on youtube ---> view. When i click on view it brings me to my video page and I don't see my video. I also went in ''my videos'' in youtube and it's not showing plz hellppp !

    Hi all,
    I have the same issue.
    I uploaded a movie last night (imovie08).
    imovie says it uploaded fine, and if I open it in imovie it says it was published on youtube - however it still hasn't shown up in myvideo, some 10 hours later?

  • I made an iMovie, 6.0.3 using music from iTunes and photos from the Internet. It looked fine on iMovie, but when I uploaded it to youtube,some of the photo near the beginning was corrupted.What steps should I take to export iMovie for youtube?

    I made an iMovie, 6.0.3 using music from iTunes and photos from the Internet. It looked fine on iMovie, but when I uploaded it to youtube, some of the photo near the beginning were corrupted on youtube. I tried a different photo, and the corruption took place at the same moment of the video. How do I prepare the video for export to get it ready for youtube? I wasn't sure whether to clik web or web streaming. Am I supposed to clik Quick Time after I clik Share?

    I unfortunately cannot remember where I got the 'trrndlines' plugin... I assume that it must have been from CFX (as it is located under /Users/Dom/Library/iMovie/Plug-ins/cfx/XXXtrrndlines.bundle).
    As for what it does, I also do not know, as I do not think I ever used it in my previous video projects.
    At this stage, I think I just need to uninstall it so that iMovie doesnt try to use it.
    Do you know how to uninstall a CFX plugin in iMovie?
    NOTE: I have re-installed iMovie 6.0.4 (instead of iMovie 6.0.3), but still encounter the same issue.

  • Problem uploading to Youtube from iMovie 9.0.4

    When I try to upload a video to Youtube from iMovie 9.0.4, I get an alert..."Username and Password do not match". I have double checked the username and pswrd and they are correct
    Pls help.

    Glad I found this thread!  Keith's suggestion of eliminating use of quotes in tags area was spot on. I removed the quotes and video now uploaded successfully.
    I also was baffled at why publishing my video from iMovie to youtube would not work. No error, just would hang.  I use an iPad 3 with iMovie for iPad ($4.99 download). After editing my video I was ready to upload.  Filled in all the info in youtube upload area (title, description, tags (including quotes around phrases) as well as changing defaults to HD and public).  After watching the progress bar reach the end, the process would just hang without any error being displayed. Tried redoing a few times, but same hanging result.
    Once I found this thread, I said why not try and remove the quotes in the tag section...and amazingly, it worked perfectly...upload completed after the progress bar was finished.  Marvelous!  I will then go to YouTube to update the keyword phrases in quotes
    Thanks Keith... Who would have thought the quotation marks were the culprit
