Default {Resolved} Youtube Question

I have noticed that their are a lot of my favourite songs are not available on youtube. I know some because of copyright laws but many independent songs are not there. I would like to put some songs on there but have no idea how to do it. I noticed sometimes there will be a song with just the album art or some random picture or text.

Does anyone know how to do this?

All credit goes to Eberg for this as he wrote this for me!

In programs find windows movie maker, open it, I'm also assuming you are using windows vista, when the program opens go to the bottom left(not all the way bottom).. there will be a thing that says story board, click that, it will bring up a drop down menu, click timeline.
Drag and drop the audio file you want into the blank area beside the black screen where the video will show, then drag the file into the timeline, then find the picture you want and drag and drop into the the same blank area then timeline, if the picture doesn't stretch as far in the timeline as the song go to the right side of the picture bar in the timeline and when the arrow comes up click and drag it until its as long as you want

After you are done, go to file-publish, name the file, next, chose "best quality for playback on my computer", then publish... then upload to youtube!

Eberg can clarify this when he sees it in this post but here's a start! Just a note! You have to get a particular codec for transferring files to the right format but I haven't wrapped my head around that yet. Hopefully more will be added to this!

I do. First you'll need a movie making program. If you are using Windows then Windows Movie Maker works just fine for the type of video you're planning. If not, there's plenty of free downloads, just search 'Free Movie Maker' into google and take your pick.

Assuming you're using WMM, all you need to do is open it up, start a new 'project', then on the left sidebar click "Audio Or Music" and select the song you want. If you desire a picture as well, click the link above, "Pictures". From there your files will appear in the middle. Simply drag them into the corresponding bars down the bottom and wait a few seconds. The ausio file will have a few extra minutes of silence, so you'll need to scroll through to find the end, click and hold the line at the end of the bar then drag it to where the spiky graph thingy ends. Do the same for the picture, to bring it equal to the end of the song. Preview it, then click File then Publish movie. Choose the name of it, where you want it saved and the type of file you want etc. then hit Publish and wait for a few minutes.

From there, go to Youtube and sign in to your channel (If you haven't already made one, then do it it shouldn't take long) go to "My Videos" and hit the "New" tab in the top right and click "Video Upload". Select the video from where you saved it, and while it's being uploaded to Youtube, fill in all the details, such as the title and description etc. You can edit it later anyway. When the video is uploaded, it will be in process for a few hours (You can still watch but at lower quality) and then you're done!

P.S: I don't know a whole lot about the downloadable movie makers, but there should be plenty of FAQ's and troubleshooters out there, also don't be afraid to ask questions in the help forums they'll naturally have, if you get stuck at any time.

Hope this was helpful, good luck!

EDIT: Damn you S&S you crafty quick ninja bastard!
