why won't final cut pro x upload to youtube?

Hi Mesmee,

I have exactly the same issue now. Up until now no issue uploading video to 3 different YT accounts, now none of them will work, all with the same error message. Glad to see I'm not the only one. Hope you can shed some light on this issue once you have talked to the Apple tech support.

Thanks in advance!

Of course this is annoying and frustrating, and should be resolved. But since no one has pointed it out yet, I would like to say that it is often best to simply export a master file as source from your project to Quicktime, and then use the YT uploading mechanism. This will at least provide a workaround in the present situation.

I have uploaded 22 videos directly from FCPX to YouTube and not once have I ever had an issue.... I have only had to load my username/password one time only. FCPX remembers it everytime.... Maybe try a reinstall.....

Fox_M--

I was trying to follow your suggestions, but when I got to Quicktime I couldn't find settings for your 5Mbps H.264 recommendation. When I check "About QuickTime Player," it tells me I have version 10.2 (603.12). I'm pretty sure I had QT Pro 7 at one time. It seems like maybe I had to uninstall it for the new version of iTunes or FCPX? I'm not sure. In any event, how do I find the settings you recommend? If they aren't in QT 10.2, where might I find my QT Pro 7?

Thanks!

Try the Utilities folder or Spotlight to search.

Thanks, Tom. That let me find it. What's with QT, anyway? It seems like 7 is the best version, but now we have 10.whatever and iTunes doesn't seem to work with it any more. I have no idea why it's all so complicated.

Google was down for a lot of folks recently but it should be back up and working now. Make sure you're using your email associated with your YouTube account in X and not your YouTube Username as that's no longer allowed by Google-

I finally figured it out. I added Google Chrome because of all its additional benefits but was unable to upload my videos to my YouTube channel. Once I severed ties with Google Chrome it worked (works) perfectly.

HEY GUYS THIS IS HOW YOU FIX IT....

1ST YOU MUST CREATE A GOOGLE ACCOUNT WITH YOUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL

IF YOU ALREADY HAVE A GOOGLE ACCOUNT YOU HAVE TO SIGN IN WITH YOUR GOOGLE EMAIL ACCOUNT ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR YOUTUBE ACCOUNT

IF YOU WAS PREVIOUSLY SIGNING IN USING JUST YOUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL THIS WILL NOT WORK

YOU CAN NO LONGER SIGN IN WITH YOUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL USERNAME YOU CAN ONLY SIGN IN WITH YOUR GOOGLE EMAIL ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL

ONCE YOU CLICK SHARE & PUT YOUR GOOGLE EMAIL IN INSTEAD OF YOUR YOUTUBE USERNAME

IT WILL WORK LIKE MAGIC

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

Hello!

I was having this problem too and was having a lot of trouble...

but i solved it!

When final cut asks for your "username and password"

For username-- i put my gmail

so if my gmail is "doglove@gmail.com"

i put my username in as "doglove"

simple!

hope i helped

I still cannot get this to work. My account is linked to my email. I've tried my gmail email, the front part of my gmail address only (the part before the "@" symbol), and the old account name. I'm using the proper password. I even opened a new gmail account and a new YouTube and tried them, and still it doesn't work. It always tells me there is no linked YouTube account. And I have double- and triple-checked the email address and password.

For the moment, you can export a master file in h264 and upload using the youtube site.

Does your password contain any special characters? This has been known to cause issues.

Try setting a password with only ASCII characters (no accented letters, etc) and see if it works.

Hi Luis--

No, it is a very simple password that only contains normal letters (no capital letters, even).

For what it's worth: I just tried, for the first time, to upload a video to youtube directly from FCP X (I had always uploaded using the youtube site).

Entered just the front part of my gmail address, entered the password, exported. It ran perfectly.

There may be some issue with your connection, your content, or yours credentials.

One aspect to consider is the length of the video - is it too long? Can you try exporting just a small video and see if that works?

I have had this issue now for some time. Out of the blue, I cannot connect to my Youtube account in FCPX, nothing has changed. I have tried using the entire Gmail address, just the front half, etc.. No success. For the longest time it worked and I had no problems. Maybe I need to delete some cookies or cache...to start fresh?

I submitted feedback to apple here. Maybe someone can help.
