Help in uploading video onto Youtube.

In summary, the conversation discusses the process of uploading a video onto Youtube. It mentions using a Nikon SLR to record the video in .MOV format and asks if that file type is compatible with Youtube. It also brings up the issue of large file sizes and asks for instructions on how to upload the video. The conversation ends with the person thanking others for their help and stating that they are ready to try uploading the video. The suggested solution is to create a Youtube/Google account, log in, and drag and drop the .MOV file into the upload area.

I've uploaded .mov files that came from my Nikon D7000.

If you don't already have a Youtube/Google account, create one. Log in. Click the "upload" link at the top of the page. Drag the file into the "Upload" area and drop it there.

for reaching out for help with uploading a video onto Youtube. I am happy to assist you with this task. To answer your first question, you can definitely upload a video from your Nikon SLR onto Youtube. Youtube accepts a variety of file formats, including .MOV, so you should not have any issues with compatibility.

In regards to the large file size, this may be a problem as Youtube has a limit on the file size for uploads. However, there are ways to compress the video file without compromising its quality. You can use video editing software or online tools to reduce the file size before uploading it to Youtube.

As for instructions on how to upload to Youtube, the process is fairly simple. You can visit Youtube's help center or search for tutorials online for step-by-step guidance. In summary, you will need to create a Youtube account, click on the upload button, select your video file, add a title and description, and choose your privacy settings before finally publishing the video.

I hope this helps and please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions or concerns. Best of luck with your video upload!
