Share to YouTube - uploading issues

After messing around with this for the last 2 days... i've come to a few conclusions.. one is... there are some bugs that still need to be worked out with iMovie '08 and the Share to YouTube function.
I made my first iMovie '08 project the other day, and tried uploading it to YouTube. I went through the steps to authorize 3rd Party uploads to YouTube, and everything seemed fine. The upload would get to 100%, the i would get this message...
When i hit OK, nothing else would happen. There was no video on YouTube... nothing.
Someone suggested that i try a few different things, so i made a quick movie clip with Quicktime using my iSight. I dropped that into iMovie, threw a title on it, and tried to upload it to YouTube. It worked. The first files i was working with were originally MPG files from my Sony Cybershot, which i converted with VisualHub to MP4 because iMovie wouldn't recognize them otherwise. So my first thought is there's some issue with encoding, because my new clip was made in Quicktime as a MOV but using MP4 encoding.
Then i though... maybe the file size is too big, but i hadn't received any warning message about it, and i figured that iMovie was sizing it to fit for YouTube. There's the problem... The only warning message iMovie itself gives you before uploading, is if your movie is more than 10mins.
YouTube has 2 restrictions... 1) That your upload is under 10 mins, and... 2) That you movie is under 100mb's.
So... since my movie was under 10 mins it should be fine, but when i exported it to my desktop, and rollover on the "i" it says that my movie 119.5mb's.
This is the problem... iMovie doesn't warn you that your movie might be rejected for being larger than 100mb's, it should.
I made my movie a little longer... so it was over 10 min's to test this, and there's a warning about the length, but not the size.
There are no real options in iMovie for compression or bitrate or anything like this. It would be nice if this share to YouTube window had a slider that you could adjust the bitrate, so that your movie can be reduced slightly to fit just under 10 mins, and under 100mb's, or an automated compression to keep these requirements for YouTube.
Yes of course i can just export to my desktop, and then upload to YouTube directly... but part of the reason i got excited about iMovie '08 was the prospect of being able to just click a few buttons, and upload directly through the program.
*PLEASE FIX THIS APPLE*

Yes of course i can just export to my desktop, and then upload to YouTube directly... but part of the reason i got excited about iMovie '08 was the prospect of being able to just click a few buttons, and upload directly through the program.
Have you considered publishing to YouTube using the "Mobile" setting? Basically, the "Medium" settings uses a 1.7 Mbps data rate target. If the average data rate was exactly 1.7 Mbps then the maximum length you can expect is on the order of 7.8 minutes. (Realistically, however, it is probably a bit more than 8 minutes for the average movie.) On the other hand, the "Mobile" target data rate is only 1.0 Mbps which should guarantee the full 10 minutes every time. Believe you are limited to a combined data rate of about 1333 Kbps to ensure a full 10-minute clip would be acceptable.
Overall, a good analysis of the situation. My hat is off to you. Thanks for posting this little tidbit of information.

  • 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:

  • Is there benefit to Share to YouTube rather than upload full Quicktime clip

    I would like the highest quality video for YouTube. Is it better just to upload the full normal Quicktime export to YouTube than to use the Share to YouTube in the latest version of Final Cut? It seems YouTube re-encodes everything again so what is the point of Share to YouTube if it will lose more quality and be re compressed?

    The trick is to give youtube something they can't mangle too badly. I'm not a big fan of "sharing"-- the term itself sets my teeth on edge-- but that's another story. There are a lot of articles on doing good youtube encodes. You can search this forum. I made a couple of presets in compressor a while ago and just use those. Not at my machine right now so I can't give you specifics, but it's an h.264 file.

  • Keynote share to youtube issue

    I have a recorded slideshow I want to share to youtube.  When you click the share button and go through steps to your youtube account you get to a point where a message states "copy below and paste into your application" -- Once you copy the code and go back to keynote.. there is nothing you can do to input code.. you are back in the loop of clicking on youtube account and it opens a NEW page with yet another code and same directions.
    I am having to export recorded slideshow to Quicktime and then try to upload to youtube..
    anyone have help on this. Am I missing something?
    thanks in advance
    Jeff

    Gaggh, I'm trying to do the same thing and am stunned that I can't just export to iMovie and add sound there.

  • 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).

  • Why is my YouTube upload not working in CC 2014.0.1?

    I understand that the MOOV Atom issue was supposed to be fixed in the new version of PPro/AME released yesterday.
    New to the issue? The MOOV (or Movie) Atom is a piece of metadata that belongs at the very top of a streaming MP4 file. In the previous iteration of PPro/AME, the YouTube upload was a two-pass VBR process and it put the MOOV atom at the END of the file; a third-party software, MP4 FastStart, was required to move the MOOV. Then, YouTube uploads went without a hitch.
    "Without a hitch" means: YouTube acknowledges your upload and delivers the URL at which the video will appear when finished.
    There is NO "Video/Audio Quality" warning! That warning, indicating that the video you're uploading is not a streaming video, is a sign of trouble.
    I upload a 1 1/2 minute file and it appears to work perfectly i.e. no warning messages.
    However, when I upload the full 2 hours 15 minutes, it warns. The warning is not without teeth: my first upload of my large video was still not ingested and processed by YouTube after 4 hours. It would display...but this lovely work that I had uploaded at 1080p was showing in 360p.
    An additional issue is that the bit rate (8Mbps in the older version) has been bumped up to 16, making for huge upload files (literally double). Even after cutting the bit rate back in half to 8, it warns; I didn't complete the upload but suspect it still would not display properly.
    I'm now uploading the work separately by act (1 hour 15 and 1 hour for the two acts, respectively). If that doesn't work, I will need to uninstall and carefully re-install the software, not allowing the update to install (I'm told by TS that this is possible), and then get my work done. I'd obviously rather not have to do that. I'll actually do the uploads to YouTube this time and see if they process fully, whether or not I get the "Audio/Video Quality" message in the beginning.
    If anyone has any ideas (other than pointing out to the engineers via bug report that they seem to have messed up) I'm eager to hear.

  • Youtube uploading not working?

    I tried the one-click youtube upload option and it says that my name/password are incorrect. I definitely have IE cookies open and the name/password for the youtube account is correct. any idea what the problem is? Also, I notice the size for a .5 minute movie was over 00mb. Any suggestions on how to crop it down easily without too much quality loss? I was under the impression that youtube mode did this, but I can't get that to work.

    Ok,
    Got vado central youtube uploader to work.
    Here is the issue, at least when using?Internet Explorer v8:
    Go to menu bar,?tools, internet options, advanced tab, security section, the "check for server certificate revocation*" needs to be off instead of on.
    Close internet explorer and re-open so it takes effect. Then youtube uploaders works.
    Not sure why this is an issue using vado central youtube uploader and probably a bug as every other youtube uploader I have used with other software products has no trouble when "certificate revocation" is on

  • 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

  • I can't share to YouTube Anymore

    I was able to share to YouTube, then I deleted one video as it was processing in order to upload a new one with changes made. Now the video's that I send to youTube do not appear in my Uploads on YouTube.com.
    Help!!

    What do you mean by delete? Did you cancel a process within FCP or from the YT site?

  • Youtube Uploader Not Working on Snow Leopard???

    I upload lots of things to Youtube and as of installing Snow Leopard on friday, I have not been able to upload anything at all. When you click the youtube uploader it says "loading" where the uploader normally appears and nothing happens. When you click the Bulk Uploader and click "add video" nothing happens. This is occuring on both firefox and safari. I switched over to my vista partition of bootcamp and it runs perfectly fine so that is the alternative I will have to use until this problem is fixed.
    Is anybody else having this issue? if not, how can I fix it? I'm assuming it is something wrong with the operating system as it started happening as soon as I installed it.
    I've tried reinstalling adobe flash player, I've rebooted several times, nothing seems to work.

    Hey, I fixed it! I remembered (by trying in Firefox, where it works, by the way) that the Youtube Bulk video uploader uses Google Gears. I noticed that Safari had Gears 0.5.30.0 while the latest version I just installed for Firefox was Gears 0.5.32.0. I googled and found an old bug report somewhere saying that in a Snow Leopard beta, Gears worked in Firefox but not Safari, so I knew I was on the right track.
    I tried to upgrade Gears in Safari by going to http://gears.google.com, but it did not display anything about which version I had or how to upgrade (as it does in Firefox) although if I looked at the page source I could see the text 'Your Gears installation is too old and needs to be upgraded'. So in the end I just deinstalled Gears (follow the instructions under 'If you need to remove a plug-in' in Safari help) and now I have the button back to upload a video, instead of just 'Loading...' I haven't tried it yet but it looks promising.

  • TS4162 "invalid Account Name or Password" when I try to share to YouTube from Final Cut Pro

    Hello,
    I keep getting "invalid Account Name or Password” when I try to share to YouTube from Final Cut Pro. I am signing in to my YouTube account from Safari and my password is working. In Final Cut Pro, I go to: Final Cut Pro > Preferences > Destinations > Add Destination > Double click YouTube. I create new sharing destination and the issue still not gone. Kindly please find me a solution.
    Thank you for your kind attention.

    Make sure you're using your email associated with your YouTube account in FCPX and not your YouTube Username as that's no longer allowed by Google.

  • YouTube Uploads Failing All of a Sudden

    So I've had no problems in the past uploading to YouTube but now it keeps failing at the 99% mark.
    I went to YouTube and noticed they don't allow login with your channel name anymore, you must use your email address associated with the account.
    I was using my channel name in FCPX and although it was showing that it was connecting, I changed my credentials to the email address rather than the channel name.
    So my YouTube and FXPC are in Sync and I'm using the right credentials.
    I'm still getting the failure. By the way it's not a credentials failure.

    So I worked out what the issue was.
    I have a template I use for the description of a video when uploading to YouTube, in this template there are characters such as <>(), these are not accepted by YouTube in the description section.
    I worked this out by trying to upload the video directly to YouTube and it was working, however when I attempted to enter the description, it told me I was using characters which were not allowed.
    So I figured that FCPX was uploading the video but when it got right at the end, it would fail because of the unsupported characters.
    To fix this problem, all YouTube upload rules should be built in to FCPX so that FCPX is sending over a valid video to YouTube and there's no rejection from YouTube's end.
    Another little problem I found was, I was uploading multiple videos and I would leave the computer unattended, however once the first video would fail the screen prompt would come up advising it failed and FCPX wouldn't continue with the rest of the videos. FCPX should continue with the rest of the jobs in line and not stop because of an error with the first one in the line, especially when dealing with time consuming tasks that you don't want to sit around and wait for.

  • IMovie 10.0.06 won't share to Youtube

    I'm using iMovie 10.0.06 and it won't share to Youtube.
    It did do this once before on a test video but now I can't share my movie to Youtube.
    "Invalid account name or password"
    As far as I'm aware this has not changed. I assume this is the username and password for Youtube channel (which is same as Google+ right?)
    Does anyone know if I go the manual route of exporting to file and uploading to Youtube whether I will lose quality?
    iMovie 11 exporting to Youtube used to compress the file horribly.
    Any ideas?

    Hi Baloo
    Thanks for that suggestion. It worked brilliantly for me!
    I'm using iMovie 10.0.6 on Yosemite 10.10.2. All functioning great until I unexpectedly found failure to share. All buttons clickable but no effect. Also noted failure to import with pop-up saying " Cannot ingest because no storage location found"
    After seeing your post I downloaded and ran OnyX, and iMovie now runs perfectly. Many Thanks!
    I guess it would be possible, with sufficient knowledge of whats under the bonnet, to fix this problem without using third party software. But for most of us a user-friendly utility like Onyx does a great job. Do you use it only when problems arise, or do you regularly scan and clean etc?

    Lara,
    I'm not a hardware engineer ... this is an FCP forum!
    I wish I could be more help but this isn't my line of expertise.
    FWIW: You seem to have a problem with your disc burner or disc burning software ... maybe you are not using good quality 'media' (discs) . I would suggest you try burning with another program, see if that helps, or try burning to a different/better disc brand.
    Try looking for support also on the Toast forums ... search google for these.
    Best of luck

  • PE 10 YouTube Upload file sizes

    PE10 gives estimates for file sizes under the various Share options. I notice for YouTube presets that in selecting between PAL Widescreen, 1440 x 1080 and 1920 x 1080 to my considerable surprize the last one is the smallest estimated files size by a big margin (50%!). Is this actually right, so that to limit upload transfers the highest setting actually gives the smallest upload? I usually use the 1920 setting but recently I have been uploading video which was shot at 1440 and I have tried uploading this with both the other settings and it takes for ever, so perhaps it is the case that the 1920 setting actually is a much smaller files size - seems unlikely however.
    Andrew

    Andrew
    Thanks for the sample file for me to check out in my Premiere Elements 10 on Windows 7 64 bit.
    I am not seeing the trend that you are seeing with regard to the YouTube estimate for file size for the uploads from within Premiere Elements 10 Share/Online/YouTube
    For the sample that you sent
    1440 x 1080 HD anamorphic 16:9 @ 25 interlaced frame per second (H.264.m2ts)
    File Size 43 MB, Duration 36.00 seconds
    YouTube Preset and its File Size Estimate
    PAL - Flash Video For YouTube (Widescreen).....................13.46 MB
    PAL - High Definition Video For YouTube 1440 x 1080.........26.64 MB
    PAL - High Definition Video For YouTube 1920 x 1080.........35.71 MB
    Flash Video For YouTube (Widescreen)..............................13.46 MB
    High Definition Video For YouTube (1440 x 1080)................26.64 MB
    High Definition Video For YouTube (1920 x 1080)................35.71 MB
    Please let me know how close you came to the above file sizes when you tested that same sample file in your computer environment.
    Let us try this.
    Take the file that you sent as a sample here, and import that into a Premiere Elements 10 project (PAL AVCHD HD1080i25)
    Go to Share/Computer/AVCHD and Presets.
    Set the Preset first to
    M2T - H264 1440 x 1080i25
    What do you see as the estimated file size? I am seeing 181.32 MB.
    Set the Preset next to
    M2t - H264 1920 x 1080i25
    What do you see as the estimated file size? I am seeing 226.22 MB.
    The duration of the file (36.00 seconds) stayed the same throughout.
    Depending on your answers, we can decide whether an uninstall reinstall of QuickTime and/or Premiere Elements 10 would be in order.
    Thanks.
