Can't publish video on from IMovie to Youtube

export the movie to your desktop first THEN drag and drop the movie into the Youtube download box. problem solved.

It's the new YouTube/Google thing. You have to use your email associated with the YouTube account instead of username. That got it working again for me but my videos don't actually upload to my YouTube though...iMovie shows they're uploading but it's like they go to no man's land because they don't actually upload to my YouTube. Strange and frustrating. Hope this actually works for you!

Export the movie to your desktop first THEN drag and drop the movie into the Youtube download box. problem solved. It is such a simple concept that the upload advisors didn't even mention it! Thank you so very much, PlotinusVeritas!

The problem is that you have two-step authentication enabled on your Google account (which owns Youtube). You need to go into your Google account (not Google+) and find the Account Security settings. I did this by clicking on my profile image in the corner of Youtube to take me to my Google+ profile page. From there click your profile image icon again and choose 'Account'. Then choose 'Security' and then look for 'App Passwords'. There you'll be able to create a password for iMovie. Use your regular username (you don't need the @gmail.com part) and voila, you're done.

awesome. thanks so much😀

Hello Guys,

Just would like to share another possible solulion to this problem. In my case, I haven´t created a channel at youtube. You may have an account, but if you haven´t created a channel yet, you won´t be able to upload videos.

Hope it helps.

Thanks Jake42, that was the exact problem. It's a shame that iMovie doesn't give you any sort of error message (not even a login failed or anything). Also a shame that that the new iOS7 versiosn don't suppor the 2 factor authentication.

Thank You!! Worked perfectly!!

Thanks! I wish this Google stuff wasn't so confusing.
