GETTING VIDEOS ONLINE

.

• Take note that SAVE PROJECT

is completely different than

EXPORT. EXPORT is used to

send your movie out to make a

DVD or to upload to YouTube.

• Save is used to save the Final Cut

project strictly as a project file.

STEP 3) Then click

Format: QuickTime

Movie OPTIONS button

STEP 2) Fill in the name

you want to Export the

movie as.

STEP 1) From Final Cut, go

to top menu item FILE >

EXPORT > QUICKTIME

CONVERSION and click.

STEP 4) Change the

SOUND settings. Click

SETTINGS

STEP 5) Change the

FORMAT: from LINEAR

PCM to AAC.

STEP 6) Click OK

button.

STEP 7) Return to

Movie Settings box

and click that OK

button too.

STEP 8) Return to

EXPORT or

(SAVE) box and

click that SAVE

button too.

Exporting your

movie will take

about 10 minutes for

a half hour show.

* In this case it saves

it to my DESKTOP,

but you can save the

file wherever you

want to; external

hardrives, etc.

STEP 9) After the movie is

finished exporting, you have to

locate it wherever you saved it.

To do this you should first

minimize or HIDE the Final Cut

program. Go to the menu item

Final Cut Pro, scroll down and

click on HIDE FINAL CUT

PRO.

• To see the specs or file

size of your movie

RIGHT click on the

movie file. To do this on

a MAC (which doesn’t

have the Right Click

button on the mouse)

you must hold the

CONTROL button and

click on the mouse at the

same time. You should

then see a menu that

looks like this.

• Click GET INFO

Notice the file size difference

between these two. The

innerloopbigfile.mov movie I

exported with the default

settings: EXPORT >

QUICKTIME MOVIE… That

file is twice the size of the

innerloop.mov which we

exported EXPORT > USING

QUICKTIME CONVERSION.

* Just by simply compressing

the sound we reduced the

overall file size by half. This is

key step to keeping your file

sizes small enough to upload

quickly to YouTube.

Page 4: Getting Videos Online

STEP 10) In order to

open a YouTube,

Vimeo, or Exposure

Room account, you

must first have an e-mail

account. *If you don’t

have an e-mail account,

the easiest way is to get

a Gmail account because

this will automatically

give you a YouTube

account.

* The Advantages and Disadvantages of each:.

YouTube Pros: Everyone uses YouTube, you get a wider audience.

Cons: You only get 15 minute movies and there are ads before your

video starts.

Vimeo Pros: Becoming more and more popular, for more professional

work. No ads. Cons: You only get 500 mb uploads per week. This

means you won’t be able to fit a half hour show on Vimeo without

reducing its quality tremendously.

ExposureRoom Pros: Unlimited space, time uploads. Sleek, no ads,

and very subtle Exposure Room logo. Cons; No one knows about

Exposure Room except professionals. A bit more difficult to use. Not

to be used for commercial reasons. Not good for social networking.

And since it is a relatively new video host, who knows if it will go

bankrupt and your service will be terminated.

STEP 11) Once you

have an email account,

go online to YouTube

and click on the light

blue CREATE

ACCOUNT button.

STEP 12) Fill in the required information: your

Email Address, username, etc. and click the I

ACCEPT button at the bottom.

*the USERNAME is important to consider

because this will become part of the url address

where everyone finds your show. For example all

your videos will show up at:

http://www.youtube.com/dconheels

if you made your USERNAME “dconheels”

Page 5: Getting Videos Online

STEP 13) Once you

click accept to the

YouTube form you will

be sent an email. So

check your email

account for a message

from account-

verification-

[email protected]

and open it.

STEP 14) Then click on

the activation link.

STEP 15) You should then get another email within a

minute that “Welcomes you to YouTube.” If you open

that message it will give you all the basic directions of

working within YouTube as well as a 2-minute

introduction video link.

STEP 16) If you are not

already sent to YouTube

and automatically

logged in, go there now

and Sign in with your

new Username and

Password.

STEP 17) In the top bar men inside YouTube

click UPLOAD.

Page 6: Getting Videos Online

STEP 18) Then when you click

the UPLOAD VIDEO button

again, a window pops up letting

you locate the movie file you

want to upload to YouTube. In

this example the movie is on

my Desktop called innerloop.

STEP 19) Select the movie file

and click OPEN at the bottom

of the window.

*Your video will then

automatically start uploading to

YouTube and the Progress will

be shown here.

STEP 20) This will take a

while so in the meantime you

can fill out the information

about your movie including

TITLE and DESCRIPTION,

TAGS, CATEGORY, and

whether you want your movie

viewable to the PUBLIC or

PRIVATE.

STEP 21) Make sure to SAVE

changes.

Page 7: Getting Videos Online

* Make sure you DO NOT

navigate away from this page

while the movie is uploading,

otherwise you will get this

warning and your upload

progress will be lost.

STEP 22) You can go to FILE

> New Window and open up a

completely new Internet

window to work in.

STEP 23) To customize the

look of your YouTube website

go to the top menu bar to the

right there is a light blue tab

with your USERNAME. In this

case it is username rocexpert,

click and you will get a menu.

One of those items is

CHANNEL.

STEP 24) Under the

SETTINGS tab you can then

give a name for your YouTube

Channel and assign TAGS.

*Tags allow people to search

Google or YouTube for your

video according to topic,

category, or catch word.

Page 8: Getting Videos Online

STEP 25) Under the Themes

and Colors tab you can adjust

the look of your YouTube

Channel as well as add a picture

to the background.

To add a picture use the

ADVANCED OPTIONS blue

link.

I used the picture to the right to

make the Channel background

below.

STEP 26) After your video is

finished uploading to YouTube

you will be able to go to either

your CHANNEL or VIDEOS

link in the MY ACCOUNT

menu and see it there.
