I have a 3 minute project that I want to render for You Tube . . . when rendering as MP4 it says it's too big/long? What is the best format or settings to be able to upload a video to You Tube?
If you're using VMS9 (not sure about the other versions) click the "Make Movie" button on the top there's a Youtube option. It'll guide you through the settings and even upload the vid right from the program.
Otherwise check YouTube "help section" itself...there's upload info there with all the recommended specs.
