Problem uploading on Youtube - iMovie 08

Hello,
I'm getting fed up with iMovie because there is no way to upload a video on youtube directly from it : either I have my gmail account linked with the youtube account, and I upload with the gmail ID, either I unlinked youtube and gmail accounts and I upload with my youtube ID. Both ways fail : iMovie says "Alert : an error occurred". And that's all.
Could you help me, please?
Thanks in advance.

i am having same problem.

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

I think I figured out the problem uploading iMovies to YouTube.

When using an iPhone, iPod, or iPad to record video, YouTube basically treats it like any mobile to social networking post--you hit share, choose YouTube, and that's it whether you're loading from the Camera Roll or iMovie. But if you shoot with something other than a mobile device's camera and have difficulty uploading to YouTube it seems the problem isn't Apple, but rather a simple change you need to make to your YouTube account.
Simply: Add a Channel That's it, the whole solution.
Now the only thing you need to be aware of is, despite the fact that your Apple device with Retina display can play video in greater than 1080p, YouTube doesn't recognize any mobile device's ability to do this. So if you upload a video in 1080p, it will only be viewable via YouTube on a desktop computer. 720p however is just fine.
So if you shot your video in 1080p, but you want it to be viewable on mobile devices using YouTube, go into iMovie and upload the video in 720p.
That's it. Please feel free to shoot down my theory and make your own suggestions.

Hi,
I am trying to display an RSS feed on my website as well. I
haven't figured it out.
Can you help?
Thanks,

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.

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 won't upload to youtube, and quicktime won't upload in hd

I have had no problems in the past. i would upload an hd video to youtube, and it would be able to play in youtube hd. now imovie won't post to youtube. and when i export it to quicktime in hd, then post it to youtube, it isn't in hd. i recently bought the hauppauge 1212 hd pvr and eye tv 3.5, so i could record gameplay in hd. any ways to upload to youtube in hd? i've had no luck so far. thanks

Here is my personl tutorial on this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqW8Lq9MUAk
Let me know if it helps solve your problem.
Tutorial:
Basically goes around the fact of uploading your movie strait to YouTube. By first exporting it to your desktop then uploading it to TouTube.

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

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.

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.

I'm having problems uploading files (to YouTube & SendSpace) with Firefox. Both work fine using IE. Any idea what the problem could be?

When I try to upload to YouTube, things appear to be working, but every time it either ends up telling me the upload has been interrupted or it shows that the upload finished & then the file is nowhere to be found in my account. When I switched to IE, the upload worked fine the first time. When I tried to upload to SendSpace, I "browsed" for a file to upload, selected the file, & then nothing happened at all. Again, when I switched to IE, the upload worked just fine. I imagine there is some setting in Firefox that I need to change, but I have no idea what it is & can't figure it out by looking through the menus I see. I need some help!

Jean, Thanks for your answer, I've tried checking the invoke node that calls the "Run VI" method but it doesnt return an error any of the times its called even that the Vi that it called is still running. I also tried your solution of changing the object's "Run" method to a template but that doesnt work either. I can't seem to post the sample progam that demonstrates the problem, is it possible to send it to you by email, contact me at [email protected]

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 want to break up my hour long video in iMovie 11 into smaller 15 minute segements to upload to youtube. How can i put EDITED VIDEO in new projects in iMovie?

I want to break up my hour long video in iMovie 11 into smaller 15 minute segements to upload to youtube. How can i put EDITED VIDEO in new projects in iMovie? (each 15 minute segment to iMovie)

In iMovie's Project Library view (where all your projects are listed), click on the name of your project (don't double-click to open it, just single click to highlight it).
From the Menu select File > Duplicate Project. A copy of your project will be placed in the Project Library. It will have the same name as the original, but with a number appended. You can rename it if desired - click on its name twice (not double-click) so that it is highlighted as light blue, then over-type it.
Delete from the duplicate all the clips and other media (for example, photos, music and so forth) that you don't want included in the first of your 15 minute segments. In other words, delete all but the first 15 minutes.
Continue creating duplicates of the original (and rename if necessary). Delete from each duplicate all the unrequired parts for each segment. So, for example, for the 2nd duplicate delete the first quarter (15 minutes) and the 3rd and 4th quarters.
You should end up with 4 duplicates with separate names, each containing the required segment. You will also have kept intact the original one hour movie, which you may wish to use independently of YouTube (maybe for burning a DVD or playback through a Media Player).
Note that duplicating the original project will not take up much extra space on your drive. Projects reference (link to) the associated Event (or Events) in the Event Library - they don't actually contain video as such. The project file also keeps track of titles, transitions, effects, music and so forth that you've added to the project.

Problems uploading Youtube videos

I want to upload a youtube video, but I get a Communication Error (timed out). I'm connected to the internet, and I had this problem yesterday. Does anyone have this problem too and know how to fix it?

G'day mate I have this problem with some of my videos too. I'm actually trying to upload a video now that I had removed a photoshop photo that I use for the the start of the video. Hopefully it will work.
A few other steps I would take would be
*Change the name of your project make it simple and short
*Try cutting out unnecessary transitions
*Change photos or stills that you are using in the program
*Try moving the project into another folder or new one
*Maybe try creating a youtube account just to test
The next step I'll be taking after those I'll ring Apple care for some help if any.
Hope one of those will resolve your problem.
Cheers,
Simon
