You can publish your iMovie project directly to the YouTube website. YouTube is an independent website that freely hosts videos by its community members. To post to YouTube, you must have a YouTube account.

Step 1

Select your project in the Project Library, and then choose Share > YouTube.

Step 2

Choose your account in the Account pop-up menu.

If you don't have a YouTube account, click Add to be guided through the account creation process on the YouTube website.

Step 3

Choose a category from the pop-up menu for the video to be categorized on the YouTube website.

Step 4

Fill in the following fields:

Title: The name of your movie.

Description: Some information about your movie for viewers to read.

Tags: Keywords that viewers can use to search for and find your movie.

Step 5

Select the mobile or medium size for your movie.

If the larger sizes are not available, the original project media isn't large enough to render in that size. The largest media size used in the project determines the final movie sizes you can render.

The dots below each device in the table of sizes indicate which movie sizes are recommended for use with that device. Either size is good for streaming from the YouTube website; the mobile size will be easier to watch for people with slower internet connections. Hovering the pointer over the "i" next to the movie dimensions displays the following information for the rendered movies:

H.264: The standard video compression that's used in the movie.

fps: The frame rate of the movie in frames per second.

Kbps: The maximum rate at which the movie can be streamed over the Internet in kilobytes per second.

MB: The size of the movie file in megabytes.

Step 6

You can limit who can view the movie by making selecting "Make this movie private."

Step 7

Click Publish. iMovie automatically uploads your movie to the YouTube website.

After the movie has been uploaded to YouTube, the title bar of your project in iMovie displays "Published to YouTube." It also displays buttons that take you to the movie's webpage and send notifications to your friends.

Step 8

To visit your movie's webpage, click Visit.

Step 9

To notify your friends of the new movie you've published, click "Tell a friend."

Note: If you make further edits to your project in iMovie after you've published it to YouTube, the title bar indicates that your project is out of date and needs to be rendered again. Old versions of the movie are deleted and replaced by new ones when you render it again.

Note: If you want to save the previous version of your movie before you edit it, you can do so by exporting it to the Finder.
