How to Post a Video on YouTube

1. Export to the QuickTime movie format using the default settings. If you know what you’re doing, you can set different preferences for audio output and video quality. (I used iMovie to create my video.)
2. Create an account at YouTube.
3. Verify your account after they send you an email.
4. Go to YouTube.com and in the upper righthand corner of the window, click on the Upload button.
5. Give your video a title and a bunch of key words that will help people find your video.
6. Click on the Browse button to locate your .mov file.
7. That’s it! Check back in a while to see it by going to My Videos under Account in the top right nav bar. I’d already gotten 5 views a few hours after posting!
8. YouTube will provide you code to embed the video as you see here.
9. Pass this link on to all your friends!
