How do I upload videos on to YouTube from WMM?

Answer 1

You need to Publish/Finish your WMM (Windows Movie Maker) project before you can upload them anywhere. Read this:

Publishing/Finishing a WMM project
** A WMM project is still in "unfinished" form (.MSWMM)and can only be viewed/edited in Windows Movie Maker.

** A PUBLISHED/FINISHED WMM video is the "finalized" format.

Before you can view your WMM (Windows Movie Maker) project on a media player, send it by email, or upload it anywhere, you first need to PUBLISH/FINISH the WMM project. This finalizes the project by means of "mixing down" audio/video properties.

Note: The videos file name extension (or Properties) will automatically be changed to the .wmv (for computer playback) or other extension depending on the saving option.

To Publish/Finish your WMM project:

> With your project in the time-line view of WMM

> Click on View and Tasks, to open the task pane

> Under Publish to ---- (Windows Vista v2.6)
> Under Finish Movie (Windows Xp v2.1)

> Choose - This computer

> Name the movie and select a destination to save it in(Choose/make a folder to save it in that you can access easily)

> Click Next

> Select option: Best quality for playback on my computer (recommended)

> Click Publish or Finish (depending on your WMM version)

When the video is published/finished, you should be able to find it in the folder you saved it in. Click on it and it should open up in the media player you use. The file will also be in a format that will allow you to upload it, email it or burn it to CD/DVD.
