hey guys hope you're doing well wherever you're at I'm sitting here writing essays for business school and I kind of needed to brake figure I make myself a video to help you so one of the most common questions that I get is how do I upload a video to YouTube but how do I make a video I just got this new Mac I don't know how to do it so what I'm going to do here is walk you guys through the steps to upload a video to YouTube using iMovie in this case I'm using iMovie HD which is my preferred version it's pretty simple pretty simplistic it's just a general overview of how to do it there's certainly more details you can get into make them more complex but this is all I really ever use to upload videos and hopefully they'll help you guys don't know how to do it hopefully it'll spur you to create your own YouTube account and start making your own videos anyway guys enjoy alright guys so the first thing you're going to want to do is open up your version of iMovie I prefer iMovie HD but you can certainly use iMovie o 8 as well if that's more your flavor so we'll go ahead and open that right up here you're going to want to hit create new project and then it pulls up a dialog box to name your project so I'll name it capture video showing how to capture it upload a video now they create and again those little red dots that shoot out when I hit a button or from my screen capture programs premium now it's loading the video now it pulls up a main main screen here and this is where your dual to your work and iMovie HD move it to the middle so I'm going to use my built-in iSight and you can use an additional digital camera if you have an they prefer if I go right down here to that little icon it looks like a camera to switch to camera mode I'll click that I'm going to hit built-in iSight if I had another camera connected it would show up there click it and there I am hello guys so now you make sure your lighting is good my lighting looks a little bit dark so go ahead and you know you can turn a light on or do it ever you want and now you guys get the option here to record with eyesight so I'm going to go ahead and record a video that I would want to upload to YouTube so I'll do a demo for you guys here hey guys john here hope you're doing well wherever you're at something something something something something something here's something what do you think about something okay so now I'm done recording my video I'm hit this button again it's a record with eyesight and that's it so now the video is recorded and the clip see record show up here on clips if you want to record a new one you can just hit record I said again and a new clip will show up right here so now I want to take this clip I'm going to drag it right down here where it says drag Clips here to begin your project so that's not going clip I have right now and it that with my whole video that would be the whole video clip next I'll go here to editing and again a whole bunch of options for titles transitions video effects and audio effects so for titles you can pick a ton of them the one I usually use for the Jean for Lakers production is subtitles subtitle stripes you can give a little example of what they all look like pops up right there can you straight subtitles torille um and you can pick all kinds of stuff and you're like actually I kind of like that one so we'll stick with that one for this video so in all I do is I just hit add down here and again you if you have an option to set your speed and length in hit add there it is now it shows up but now if you notice between these two scenes right here there's no transition so I want to add a transition so from black to my video I'll go right up here to transitions and I'll pick one that I like let's pick ripple is kind of cool so I'll take a ripple and I want to be a transition between Clips so I'll drag it right in between now it's going to render alright so now it's there and again this just a very simplistic overview of how to make a video obviously you can do a lot more in detail you have more video effects that you can add we've got a lot of audio effects you can add sound but I'm just going to try to give a real quick overview for the novice user who wants to just upload a video using their Mac so now I've got this video mate I'm going to have to go ahead and save it so I'll hit file and then export and what that'll do is it'll take it from the iMovie format and it'll convert it to a file that I can upload to iTunes or I'm just giving me - to youtube so compress this movie this is where a lot of people get get in trouble compress this movie for web and what that will do is will shrink it down to a size that YouTube will allow you to upload it to so press the web I'm going to hit share now what I want to call it again I'll just call it capture video and I'll show up as I believe a dot MOV so it's compressing it should take a couple minutes depending on how long your video is it's not too bad I make sure you know what you save it to so I'll go ahead and let this finish loading we'll do it all in real time all right so I can go ahead and just minimize this and here's my new capture video capture video mov drag it right to the middle so you guys can see it I shall leave right here and I want to upload that to YouTube so what I'll do is I'll go to Firefox or Safari whatever browser browser you use and go to your YouTube account and so here's my YouTube account sure the page you guys are all familiar with and they'll go right up to the top to hit upload now you enter the title of your video so screencap description type in whatever you want video category you can choose from myriad of categories I usually to science technology type your tags Apple pick one Apple MacBook iPhone computers all right then I hit upload video and since I'm a partner of an option to submit this video for revenue sharing I hit browse and I just go and find the video it canceled here and just hit upload and that's it it'll show up right on my page so guys it really is very easy to upload a video to YouTube that's a real quick overview of how to do it I hope it was helpful and I'll see you guys in my next video talk to you guys soon bye alright guys I hope that was helpful be sure to check out wwg on for Lakers comm again are always looking for new writers so if you like to contribute send me over an email either through YouTube or link on the site and give me a a week or so to reply sometimes that can be a little slow depending on the quantity of emails that I get anyway guys talk to you soon back
