I dont know what im doing wrong, should I be saving it somewhere other that "my vidios"?

Answer 1

you may be forgetting to change your video from MSWMM to WMV

MSWMM is only the project file not the actual movie file

follow these steps to convert your video to WMV and get it up and running on youtube:



-open windows movie maker

-press 'import audio/video

-import the video you want to upload

-drag it to the time line

-edit it (optional)

-press PUBLISH MOVIE (at the top of the screen in the middle) or if you have an older version then go to the file tab and then press SAVE MOVIE AS (not save project as)

-press PUBLISH TO THIS COMPUTER/ SAVE MOVIE AS

-name it

-save it



it will now convert to a WMV format and will save to your video folder

once it has completed do the following:



-go to youtube

-sign in

-press upload (in the top right hand corner of the home page)

-fill in the video information

-upload the video

-wait on that screen until it says your upload was successful and can be viewed shortly after it has finished processing



NOTE: it can take up to 6 hours to get a channel icon from your video and it can take up to 72 hours before your video will return in the searches but it can be viewed from your profile as soon as it has finished processing
