windows movie maker tutorials
How do I upload a video made from windows movie maker on to youtube?
I made a tutorial and saved it, went to youtube and uploaded it an it says “Failed (invalid file format)” the video is saved as a (*.MSWMM) and there is NO other file format to save it in. The only format I can save it in is (*.MSWMM) THERE ARE NO OTHER CHOICES!!!!!!
there is other formats you can save it in:
it said failed because you left it in a MSWMM format which is only the project file meaning it is not a file
follow these steps to convert the video to WMV and to get it up and running on youtube:
-open windows movie maker
-press ‘import audio/video
-import the video you tried to upload
-drag it to the time line
-edit it (optional)
-press PUBLISH MOVIE (at the top of the screen in the middle) or if you have an older version of movie maker then press the file tab and then SAVE MOVIE AS (not save project as)
-press PUBLISH TO THIS COMPUTER/SAVE MOVIE AS
-name it
-save it
it will now convert to a WMV format and will save to your video folder
once it has completed do the following:
-go to youtube
-sign in
-press upload (in the top right hand corner of the home page)
-fill in the video information
-upload the video
-wait on that screen until it says your upload was successful and can be viewed shortly after it has finished processing
NOTE: it can take up to 6 hours to get a channel icon from your video and it can take up to 72 hours before your video will return in the searches but it can be viewed from your profile as soon as it has finished processing
