Adobe Premiere/YouTube problem. Help?

06/16/2009 12:08:19 AM · #1

Does anybody use Adobe Premiere Elements 7 to upload video to YouTube? I'm just learning this and I cannot sign onto YouTube from APE to save my life. If I'm on youtube.com I can sign in fine, but from APE it just says username and password don't match. Is there some issue with it being a "google" account? I'm out of ideas.

Help!

I just started using it, but I always just save to my hard drive, then upload from there. Sorry, not much help.

I would just export the video to your hard drive, and upload it manually.

Thanks. That's probably a decent workaround. Any particular settings I should use for a YouTube export? Dimensions etc.?

YouTube supports widescreen, so that's what I save mine as. I use the highest quality save to hard drive function, which creates a huge mpg file, but these are what I back up for the future. I upload the huge files to YouTube, and it processes them somehow. There are YouTube primers, but I haven't read them. I do remember reading somewhere that they suggest you upload original, or large, files, and rely on their 'proessing' to create the best playback on YouTube.

I've not tried premiere but have had no luck in the past getting things on youtube. I recently tried AfterEffects and saved the file as a quicktime MOV file - that worked, uploading through youtube's interface.
MOV is nice as it's one file to deal with and pretty universal.
It plays on my computer and DVD player.
