This feature was also removed from Final Cut Pro as well. Just export your iMovie Project to a folder in Finder and upload using YouTube Studio https://studio.youtube.com. It's always good to keep an uncompressed copy of a video on your computer, if you have to download your videos [from YouTube] to edit and reupload parts, they will always look worse as now those sections will have been compressed twice. Also, in the future, iMovie versions may change drastically, and reexporting your project made in an older version of iMovie might be glitchy. I hope this helps. If you don't have enough storage on your computer, try using or purchasing an external drive to save export your Movies too. However I warn you, do no save iMovie Projects to cloud storage providers other than Apple, because it may mess with the file, as the iMovie project is recognised as a folder by other OSes.

I’m so fed up with with having so many obstacles trying to down load YouTube videos. I never seem to have enough memory on my iPad to upload video from my photos to YouTube. I have to delete & offload loads of stuff & even then I can’t upload it.

then I can’t share to Facebook or Instagram as it doesn’t show up on icon. Why is that?

I want to put video on Instagram but I deleted it from iMovie & photos. I am having trouble getting it from YouTube to Instagram?

I’ve had so many problems. Then I uploaded an app to help with hissing sound, only to realise it wiped off my music as well & didnt work after saving it. Does anyon3 hav3 any recommendations please? I wanted to put audacity on m6 iPad but it wouldn’t work. I have an iPad 7th addition 32 mb . Can anyone recommend a better iPad for doing this kind of work with creating & uploading videos without all these barriers!, please. Sorry for the rant but it really is frustrating 😫 only thing that is ok is creating my thumbnails on keynote, that’s brilliant. I’m not very savvy with the computer but I’m learning. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Many thanks for reading
