Imovie 11 youtube upload in HD

Why is it that after upgrading to iLife 11 I can only upload to youtube with the mobile option. In the previous version I had the ability to check the other larger resolutions. But in this version the radiobuttons are greyed out.

I am experiencing a similar problem. I am finding that iMovie '11 is giving me a choice to upload to YouTube in either Large, Medium or Mobile format, but I cannot chose all three formats, which is what I would like, and which is how iMovie '09 worked. So I chose the Large format first, and sure enough, when I went to look at my movie on my iPhone an error message came up saying something like "The author of this video has chosen not to allow the viewing of this video on iPhones" ... which of course is ridiculous and a huge BUG because I can't see how this is a FEATURE. So I go back to iMovie and I upload a "Mobile" version of the movie and sure enough it uploads, but to a different URL !!! So now you get different URLs for differnet sizes of the movies?? This is a major inconvenience and I wish it would get fixed soon.

Distorted Audio- iMovie to Youtube Upload

I uploaded my video from iMovie to youtube (using the following http://support.google.com/youtube/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1696878)
However, the audio is distorted when I try to play it on youtube (even though it is not distorted on iMovie).
I have uploaded it a number of times, but every time the audio is distorted
Any suggestions?

Hey would you mind expanding on how you used/created an ACC version of your audio? Was it through an Imovie to Quicktime movie export as this link below describes? I've also copied and pasted the instructions indented in quotations. The solution provider in that forum tells how to export the movie to quicktime with special ACC etc settings and claims that it resolves the issue but my Imovie ('11, version 9.0.9) won't go through the export...I've tried at least 5 times...it starts and says it's going to take about 30 minutes and works for about 10, often as the clock goes up instead of counting down and then the window disappears and nothing has been exported.... I'd love to resolve this issue...it has only been happening to me since I figured out how to ask the audio to duck other tracks and tweak equalizer settings so it's gotta be something to do with the fact that either the equalizer settings confuse youtube it the .mov format it exports in on default settings (without the ACC tweak which I haven't found a way to do yet)...any new guidance? Trying to get this done yesterday!! I've also sent a personal msg to the person who said they solved the issue in that forum to see if I can get any more specific guidance...seems like a signifcant amount of people have been having this issue! Heeeelp pleeeez! http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/youtube/bs8mgyVMSEU
"Try saving the file as a QuickTime movie on your desktop and uploading it from there. Use Share > Export using QuickTime > Movie to QuickTime Movie > Options to get movie settings box. Use video Compression H.264 Quality medium or High and Sound AAC 44.100kHz, and I use bit rate 192kbps. That should upload from your desktop with no problems."

2 Factor Authentication YouTube Uploads.

I have gone to Google and put iMovie in for two factor authentication. When ever I close down iMovie I have to go back to Google revoke the old one and do it again.
So here is the question.
When I put the Authentication code in for Youtube after I create it in Google I am able to upload my video for it logs in.
When i open iMovie again at another time it says invalid or incorrect username and or password.
So let me make sure I am doing this right.
I get the Authentication code from Google.
I enter it into iMovie for Youtube uploads.
When I close the app and come back to iMovie and I to use my Youtube password or the Authenication code.

You've essentially got it right, but I think you're getting confused between the "authentication code" and the "application-specific password". iMovie won't work with an authentication code, you need to create an "application-specific password" in your Google account, and use that in iMovie. (just to be clear, the "authentication code" is the four-digit code that you get in a text message or on your phone app, after you use your regular password. The "application-specific password" is a special password that completely bypassses 2-factor authentication - it's not as secure, but lets you continue using programs like iMovie that don't work with 2-factor authentication).
But the problem is that iMovie won't remember your password between restarts, and Google won't show you what the password is after that first time. There are two possible solutions:
Use "Keychain Access" (or a program like 1Password) on your Mac to securely store your password, you can then retrieve it from Keychain Access and paste it into iMovie the next time you need it (if iMovie did remember your password, this is where it would be stored anyway. You'll find Keychain Access in your "Utilities" folder).
Every time you use iMovie, go into your Google Account and "revoke" the old iMovie password, then create a new one to use in iMovie.
If you go with my 1st suggestion, make sure you always use something like Keychain Access or 1Password to securely store your passwords. Never save it in a text or Word document or a "note taking" app, etc since those are not secure enough for passwords.

How come, when I upload a home video from iMovie to YouTube, the uploaded video is not iPad/iPhone supported?????

I connected a couple of home video clips from my iPhone in iMovie and then uploaded it to YouTube so that I could share the link with family. When the upload is complete, the video says that it is no in iPhone format and cannot be viewed? Whats up with that crap? Is there something I can do about it?

You tube converts the video to multiple formats when you upload.
Sometimes it takes a while for the video to be viewable.
And sometimes you tube converts to other formats before it makes ios versions.
Just wait a few hours and try again.
It will become viewable in time.
If it does not then you would be better to contact google.
You tube is theirs, and issues need to be told to them.

How do you reduce a movie size in iMovie 10 to upload to youtube?

how do you reduce a movie size in iMovie 10 to upload to youtube?

Go to File>Share>File, choose the size (probably should choose either SD or Large) then click Next, give it a name, then click Save.
Go to iDVD. Go to File>Import>Video and select the file you just created. It will bring the video into your iDVD project.
This was always the way I did it in the previous version of iMovie. Works just fine.

IMovie and Youtube: Sharing directly vs. Uploading later?

Hello!
I'm starting to use iMovie and Youtube for my home movies.
Do you know if there are any differences in video quality between:
sharing directly from iMovie on Youtube, and;
sharing as a file on the desktop (ProRes) which is uploaded later to Youtube?
Thank you. :-)

afaik, the YT-preset is an excellent compromise of quality vs size.
You'll notice, a proRes (your iM craetes proRes??) export is 20x - 40x 'bigger' => asks for some bandwidth in your internet connection...
And is it 'better'?
I dare to say: theoretically for sure, but practical, noticeable? No.
Most consumer devices compress internally 4:2:0, using interframe codecs, ... and who cares about ISO/gain, bit-rates, dynamics etc etc when your camera has easy to use auto-modes ?
What I want to say: when the source is allready 'compressed to death', why caring about the last .5% of 'quality' diff. upload strategies can result in?
Make a test! There're three reallife scenarios, which makes any encoder to cry to its limits:
Gradients - record the sky in the golden/blue hour ... look out for banding
Movements - record a tiny creek with some whirls … look out for 'blocks'
Darkness - the h.264 (=AVCHD/mts/most .mov…) codecs weak point, look for 'blocks' and/or 'color spots' aka artifacts …
If you manage to create locally a video WITHOUT these failures, upload to YT; wait, until YT offers the HDef versions of your video, compare with your local version....

I am trying to upload an imovie to youtube. it says project too large but i have permission for larger projects. Help and thanks.

I am trying to upload an imovie to youtube. It keeps saying "project too large" even though I have permission from youtube for over 15 minutes. Please help. Thanks.

share the video via a quicktime movie in whatever format you want to use, I usually create an mp4. Once you that video is set (I usually save to my desktop) go ahead and upload from YouTube rather than going direct from iMovie. I suspect you will not have the same size issue.

IMovie 11 (9.0.6 (1763)) YouTube uploads issue

Nice. After the latest "iMovie 11" update to the version 9.0.6 (1763), it lost the ability to do YouTube uploads altogether:
it shows the "Uploading" window with the progress bar, and time estimate, and everything, as before, but when the "upload" ends, there is no usual "Finished uploading" (or thmthng like that) message, and, of course, nothing is actually uploaded to YouTube.
It is not a problem with YouTube, because I can do uploads of the same files to it directly, using YouTube's web interface.
I am sure I enter YouTube account info in iMovie correctly too.
For successful uploads, as it used to be before, you could see on the YouTube "Video Manager" page that a file is being uploaded, because there was "Processing..." item for it, as soon as you start upload in iMovie. Now, there is no indication on the YouTube’s “Video Manager” page that a file is being uploaded whatsoever.
Does anybody else have the same issue?

Same problem for me too. If you look at the top section of your crash report you see reference to 3ivx, this is some kind of video codec. I did a search on my mac for 3ivx and uninstalled it. This fixed the problem. See these two articles for more information:

Hope this helps.

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.
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.

When I try to upload an iMovie to YouTube as I've successfully been able to in the past. I get a message that keeps saying that I need to sign in to YouTube when I am already.

I'm sorry! This is my 1st post to the support community and I put my problem in the topic bar! When I try uploading an iMovie to YouTube I keep getting a message to sign into YouTube when I am already!! I've done this in the past with no problem...including as recent as in December. Hope you can help ... Need for my students ASAP.

Do you have the YouTube app loaded on your iPad? Are you signed in there (in that app)?

YouTube upload fails due to details in description

Recently I've come across a bug in the iMovie YouTube uploader. This post is basically another confirmation of the problems discussed in http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9339330
iMovie goes through all the steps, compression and uploading, right to the dialog providing a link to the video. The video will not be available however, making this a completely silent failure.
Three causes for this problem has been reported, related to video metainformation:
* Very long title
* Tags separated by comma instead of space, thus making it one gigantic tag
* Tags constructed with double quotes - this is what caused my problem
I'll file a bug report later, until this is fixed it's handy for iMovie users to know about this issue.

from browser, it will upload file using server object model. you can change the upload size for same in CA.
as far as uploading file programatically using service, you can run the below script on server and it will resolve the issue
$ws = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPWebService]::ContentService
$ws.ClientRequestServiceSettings.MaxReceivedMessageSize = 262144000
$ws.ClientRequestServiceSettings.MaxParseMessageSize = 262144000
$ws.Update()
Note: 262144000 = 250 MB

What is the best HD output settings for YouTube uploading?

Trying out iMovie '09 for the first time.
I shot a 2.5 minute video (AVCHD) and with
the video output settings I selected it is taking
about 20 minutes to encode.
That is way too much time...or is it?
Based on a YouTube video I watched on editing
in iMovie '09 I set my video and audio outputs as follows...
* Export using Quicktime
* File Format: MPP4
* Video Format: H.264
* Data Rate: 8192
* Image Size: 1920x1080HD
* Frame Rate: 60
Encoding: Faster Encode
Audio Data Rate: 256kbps
Encode Quality: Best
Now where can I improve encoding time without sacrificing
a huge amount of quality in my YouTube upload? I really want
the upload to look crisp HD on YouTube.
Thanks

For what it's worth, I used these settings earlier today in a test.
Share/Export Using QuickTime
Movie to MPEG4
Options:
h.264
10,000 kbits per second
1920x1080HD
Frame Rate 30
Keyframe: Automatic
Main Profile
Single Pass.
Here are the [results for 1920x1080|http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdBwUzWZf9M]
Other test results are in [this thread|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2579263&tstart=0]
By the way, there is nothing magic about 10,000 kbps. If you used 16,000 kbps, it would be roughly the same data rate as Apple Intermediate Codec. But since YouTube does not penalize you for using a high data rate, as long as it fits their time limit, you can err on the side of high quality. The trick is to start high and then back off until you notice the quality dropping. In your case 8,000 may be fine.
My guess would be your frame rate is the issue. Most AVCHD camera shoot 30 frames per second (or 60 interlaced fields per second).

Mac pro won't export iMovie to youtube -- need firefox / google chrome but will this fix it and is it safe??

i cant export my imovie to youtube because I dont have google chrome or firefox-- however i once downloaded google chrome to my windows lap top and it went spaz... unsure if this will happen to the mac?/ any help

Sorry. I do not have an answer. My movie was much longer but only 640x480. The upload page is different than it was the last time that I used it. It is much simpler now but seemed confusing at first. There was a line near the top of the window that made me think athere was a problem but the upload soon finished. I think youtubes video quality has improved. Maybeupload a previously uploaded file, change the name, to see if it works

Export iMovie to YouTube for iPad

does anyone know how to export imovie to youtube for ipad? I have tried everything that I found on the web and nothing seems to work. Thanks!

Since Maverick/iMovie '10 I prefer to do in in two steps because the one-step method (direct upload to YouTube) is not working properly. Exporting the movie (option share as a file) in the highest quality and, second step, upload your movie in YouTube works fine to me.

IMovie to YouTube = horrid quality! Why?

I just created a 1min.4sec. iMovie and sent it to YouTube from within iMovie but the results are horrible! I tried it twice, once in medium quality 640x360 and once in high quality 960x540. You can see the results for yourself:
medium: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gvZ3PtD4po
high: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5445Vm117w
What gives and how can I improve the quality?

I think both iMovie and YouTube are compressing the videos but the real problem is the compression coming from iMovie! As a test of my theory I saved the video on my Mac as an .avi and it uploaded with Safari instead of directly from iMovie. The results were stunning in comparison. As a further test I then saved it as a .mov and again uploaded it via the browser, I now have perfection!
see results without using iMovie to upload the vid:
.avi = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLT4Znxx6GE
.mov = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSZ5_vs4QUY
So the obvious results are the compression coming from iMovie is the problem, not YouTube.
