Chapter 5: Uploading your clip to YouTube.

This section is much like the last chapter where I take you through the steps of uploading your video to YouTube. It’s important to note that you only need to upload the video to either Google Video OR YouTube. Uploading to both is not necessary.

Step 1: Go to http://www.youtube.com and login to your account.

 

Step 2: Click the “My Videos” link that is just below the Videos tab.

 

Step 3: Click the Upload Video button, located on the left hand side.

Step 4: Fill out the form fields, in the same manner as given for Google Video. Once again see Appendix A for examples.

Step 5: Click Continue

 

Step 6: Click the Browse button and select the desired video.

 

Step 7: Click Upload Video, this process can’t take a while, depending upon your internet connection.

 

Step 8: Once the upload is done you’ll be given the details of the video. Verify all of the details.

Step 9: At the bottom of the form you will find a box with HTML code in it. This is the code you will need for Chapter 6.

Step 10: Click the Update Video Info button. If you need to come back at a later time to retrieve the HTML code needed in Chapter 6, all you need to do is login, click the Ny Videos link and then click the Edit Video Info button for the desired video. This will bring up the details screen again, and at the bottom will be the box with the HTML code.
