Only way I know of is save it to YouTube and post the link here. There isn’t a way to post a video directly that I know of.
Hello, Do you have a Gmail.com email address as your primary email connection to your friends and relatives? if so, you are in luck. If your email account looks like this [email protected] ? If so, then you already have a Google Account and now making a You Tube channel is simple. Jnaki So, is your email ending in a Gmail.com address? Google owns You Tube and you must have a Google Account to post videos.
Hello, By the way, did you edit your video you took with your computer photo program built in to your homc computer or most phones now have video editing features. No one wants to see a jiggling concrete floor shot or blurry roadway shot in between a hot rod going down the street. If you can edit the video first, then do so and get it ready for presentation. Anyone can point and shoot a video as we see most folks pointing uselessly with their phones. But if you don't edit your video first, before you post it to a place like You Tube, it will look like an baby pushed the record button and you get what you get... Jnaki So, start there first. Once a video is edited and it shows the subject clearly, then it might be ready for posting on your you tube channel. Get the editing done first then the next step is simple enough. YRMV
@Timchek If it isn’t too long, you could send it to my email and I can post it for you. [email protected]
Gents, thanks the feedback, I do hav a Google account. Tryin to upload the video to YouTube, not successful yet but I’ll get it I hope!
A Google Account is the first step. good on you... Hello, Here is a step by step way that is simple and I have used it hundreds of times when a movie I have taken with my digital camera is uploaded to my laptop. From there, you have the basic starting point. Don't try to do this on a phone or tablet as it is too difficult to access that film you took and saved to your computer or laptop. Also, edit your film first on your laptop as a clean film without non-sensical additions of a lady walking on a street is added to a film on a 32 roadster driving down the street. Easily edit or cut out those parts to make a clean moving movie. If you can remember, don't talk while filming or at least edit out the sounds. Unless, of course, you are filming a hot rod sound accelerating, etc. This is the photo that is saved on my laptop, directly uploaded via a memory card from the camera. Recently, I was going to make a film to go along with a story I was writing. So, to make it easy for anyone to use previously uploaded and saved film from anyone's computer files, I made a simple step by step, as to what shows up and what to select for a You Tube video. The finished product can be copied and posted on any website, direct email to anyone, or saving the link on your phone, tablet or laptop for viewing anytime, anywhere. You Tube is rather simple. Back in the 2015 days, I had no clue as to what to do. So, I plodded along with a scrap film I had saved. I had to create a channel first. J NAKI so, now I can follow the simple instructions step by step on the screen. Once you have created your page, then click on the red highlighted box +. That goes to the next screen to up load your film file saved from your files in MP3 or mp4 style. Those are best to save and use. Now, you are ready to upload your saved film. This screen shows the next step. Select your film from your files and copy/drag it to the arrow screen and it will start to upload to their studio files. If it is not an approved movie file, MP4, as you try to upload it, the screen will tell you it is an invalid file. Make sure it is a MP4 file. This new screen is important. If you check "not for kids," then the process moves on to the next screen, if you check Yes it is for kids, then it is another whole set of screens, etc. Just check not for kids and everyone can see it finished. I also made my own thumbnail photo, instead of a You Tube generated thumbnail. Once the film is edited on your computer and it is ready, save with a specific title. For sample sake, this one is labeled “Chevy Truck to Finish.” In reality, it certainly looked finished up close. Another section calls for a thumbnail that will be the visual description of your film on any website or your You Tube channel. They automatically find several shots and you select one. Or, you can save your own photo, but make sure it is smaller than 2mb so it can qualify as a custom thumbnail photo. (most digital cameras are shooting in over 6 mb-20mb+ per photo. Most phones also shoot in 5-10mb.) The action you do on the screen pops up another screen telling you of the progress. And/or some type of violation with copyright, like adding music from a popular source, etc. Since most of my films are taken in a silent mode, there is no commercial music added, nor would I want one. It just detracts from the action. Who wants to watch a drag racing video with smooth jazz playing in the background? Or even rock music of sorts? This is where the copyright problems start. If you want people to see the saved video anytime, then check “Public.” Otherwise no one can see it publicly. Now, the You Tube search feature we all use to find a video comes into play. When it is all checked correctly, then this final screen pops up. We do not use any of those links, so, we click close. But we know it is published in our studio parameters. Jnaki The final screen pops up to show you where your video is located. Now, open the film and copy the top information box. The last screen to check is your channel home screen. Click on the video you want to watch. Once it comes on your laptop screen, then copy the HTTPs// address. Now, you can past the link on any website, a direct email to someone or some company to clarify some action. Once posted, it is available for anyone to see directly or it will be located on your You Tube channel. The fun part is that we all have access to the You Tube channel streaming services. So, on your large tv screen, call up your home streaming channels and select You Tube. In the search, type in your You Tube channel name. A large screen with quality sound makes viewing on a really large monitor wonderful. It is almost like being at the drags in person. Sound? Turn up your volume or external speakers for a wonderful presentation. Note: Now that it is on your You Tube channel, where ever you go, you have access to it via a tablet, puny phone screen or a friend's huge wall monitor in his/her viewing room. Sample: When you make your video, copy the top information title: This bit of information is the one you can post on any website that allows video links to be posted. Now, you are an official You Tube creator. YRMV Play the Junior Thompson video. I filmed it in silent mode back in 1959. I found the original Jr. Thompson Studebaker sound on my own LP album from 1959. I digitally copied and pasted it as a soundtrack, matching the film I created. Now, the "Sound" version is a lot more fun to watch. GOOD LUCK and PM me if any additional information is needed.
