How do I export videos from Windows Movie Maker into a You tube video?

by admin on October 8, 2009

I got a video I made on Windows Movie Maker in dedication to my Grandparents but when I try to upload it onto Youtube, it says I need to export the video into a WMV file, How do I do this? I’ve been trying to figure it out since yesterday and Im about to give up. Please help.

I make all my YouTube videos On Windows Movie Maker and it works fine with me.
You did not save it as a project did you?
When your done making the video, Click on File then Save Move File… Not Save Project.
Then click on "My computer Save you movie for playback on your computer." click on Next > Name the video and save it. Save it as "Best quality for playback on my computer (recommended)" click on Next >
Then go to YouTube and upload it

go to file and then to "save movie file" this will save the whole damn thing.. give it a simple title so you will know this is the correct saved file.. then go to you tube and upload that same file.. pretty simple

when saving the video, go to file type on the bottom of the window thing and click WMV file type on the drop down menu.

There is an option to "publish" your video.
Do that and you can either publish it onto your computer or on a disc and then you can upload it on youtube with that.

This means the file format is not correct…

Ensure the file format is correct before uploading to youtube…

Using windows movie maker — you have to save it into the proper file format, that is "wmv" file (use the "save movie file" on the menu at the top left) before upload..

The WMV file will be smaller in size but still quite good quality.. so uploading it will be faster.

–for best editing….

use windows movie maker (included in your windows machine)… it can help you make beautiful slideshow or video clip(e.g. mixing your songs with pictures/video/etc)…. then save it as video file such as wmv file format… finally upload.

or .. Just get those clips you want , save & convert them, and then mix/match with pix/sound/etc using windows movie maker to create new masterpieces….

this will help you…. Use ‘zillatube’. This is the easiest (and also the fastest) way.

Zillatube produces mpg/mp3 formats from youtube that are compatible with windows movie maker(or media player), and more.

It is very easy to download and convert videos. Then edit those converted mp3/mpg videos with windows movie maker… save your file as wmv and then upload.

It works very well….just google search for "zillatube"
