Uploading files to YouTube

  1. Select the files you want to upload in Organize or Edit mode.

  2. Click the Share button at the top of the Catalyst Prepare window.

  3. From the Upload clip to drop-down list, choose YouTube.

  4. Use the Share pane to log on to your Google account and follow the on-screen instructions to upload the selected file.

    1. Rename your uploads if needed:

      • When you're uploading a single clip, the Title box displays the file name of the selected clip. You can type a new title to identify your video.

      • When you're uploading multiple clips, select the Rename files check box.

        • Type a string in the Prefix box if you want to start all file names with the same text.

        • Choose a setting from the Numbering drop-down list to indicate whether you want to number clips or use their original file names.

        • Type a string in the Suffix box if you want to end all file names with the same text.

          For example, if you wanted to name clips using a convention such as Commercial_001_Camera1, you would type Commercial_ in the Prefix box, choose 3 digits from the Numbering drop-down list, and type _Camera1 in the Suffix box.

    2. Type a description of your movie in the Description box.

    3. Type keywords you want to associate with your movie in the Tags box. Use words that relate to your movie and describe its content. These tags will be used when searching YouTube. Use commas to separate multiple keywords.

    4. From the Privacy drop-down list, choose a setting to set broadcast options for your movie. Public videos can be seen by any YouTube user; private videos can be seen only by members you specify; unlisted videos can be seen by anyone who has a link to the video, but they are not included in YouTube searches.

    5. Choose a setting from the Category drop-down list. The category you choose is used to classify videos on the YouTube site.

    6. Choose a setting from the Frame size drop-down list to choose the frame size of the video.

    7. Choose a setting from the Frame rate drop-down list to the frame rate of the video.

    8. Enable the Use advanced settings switch if you need to adjust additional transcoding settings. For more information about the controls, please see "Transcoding clips".

  5. Click Upload.

    Progress is displayed in the activity pane at the top of the Catalyst Prepare window. If you have multiple upload jobs queued, a separate progress indicator is displayed for each job.
