Project won't publish to Youtube?

I know that in the last year YouTube has started allowing video clips longer than 10 minutes. But I'm always suspicious that they might have problems if I go over that old limit. Is your video clip lasting longer than 10 minutes when you export it out of iMovie?

Sorry to give you the run around trying different things, what I might do in your situation is export to a different frame size (I think default is 'medium') Try mobile/Large size and try uploading through the YouTube website directly and see if it makes it through. It will take a while before YouTube processes it no matter what size the frame is, but unless there's a huge file corruption of some sort in the video it should go through. I've had a similar experience where I thought something was published and it didn't appear. So I did it a second time and I think maybe it was my ISP having glitches on the network. YouTube seems to be sensitive to any network reliability problems that might occur during an upload.

I never was able to get iMovie 11, or 9 for that matter, to directly upload to YouTube competently.

But I just made the best movie I could, put it on the desktop, and used YouTube's uploader. It is a better way to upload, with more info.

The time limit is 15 minutes, but having uploaded a lot of video, I am able to upload to very long lengths, over an hour.

With the youtube uploader you can watch the processing as well as the uploading.

Hi. I export using quicktime. I usually use a Canon HFS 100 camcorder, or sometimes my Sony SLT33 camera. I have found that starting with good stuff gives me a much better chance of ending with watchable stuff.

H.264. High quality. multipass. Sound AAC. Deinterlace source video. I use two sizes, either 1280x720 as in

or 960x540, which gives a pretty good YouTube video, and has much smaller file size.

For a bit I did some video work for some human rights groups.
