Can't upload to Youtube via FCP X Share

When I try to Share my movie to YouTube as a private video, I get this error message:


AccountMigrated

Url=https://www.google.com/account/


I have a channel set up on Youtube ready to go.


How do I fix this in FCP X and make it upload the movie?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8), 4 GB RAM

I just shared a video to YouTube for the first time and had no FCPX problems. Entered my account and password, sent the video. The only problem I had was when using my browser to sign onto YouTube, the Video Manager had a error message that the video was too long (32 minutes), that I have to sign up to allow longer than 15 minute videos. I did so, went back to FCPX and uploaded the video again with no other issues.

I had trouble with this for the last several days, and finally figured it out. If your Youtube account is linked to Google+ (which almost all are at this point), you need to log in to google+ and go to settings. Scroll down to third party tools and create a password. They have already created a username under that section, so once you've created a password try exporting to youtube and when it asks for username/password, use the password you created along with the username they automatically generated under third party tools.

Thanks AVIANbryan. This is the solution to the problem.

Google have been trying to turn youtube acounts into google+ accounts for the past few months. Trying to make you use your real name for Youtube. Once you change your youtube account to a Google+ account, Final Cut Pro needs this workaround to upload to Youtube. It's pretty simple though.

Now instead of uploading to <username>,

I must upload to <username><unique numbers>@pages.plusgoogle.com

You find the new address using the workaround in Avianbryan's post. Then Youtube uploads from FCPX works perfect.
