Uploading video to youtube

Has anyone tried this? What do you find is the best format? I have tried uploading from a Quicktime movie, initially a Keynote presentation. It ran fine in Quicktime, but when uploaded it wouldn't play properly and missed some of the audio out. I have now turned it into an iMovie project and am trying that but don't know yet if I am successful.

Was the audio some commercial music? Youtube will delete it sometimes over copyright.

You should be able to upload from iMovie direct to Youtube, or from a file in Finder via the Youtube website. I've done it many times without problems(apart from the copyright problem).

The first time I tried it was indeed commercial music, but one from my own personal library downloaded from a CD. It played it at about double the speed. So I took the music off and played my own recording of something and the Youtube video seemed to stop, and my voiceover was missing. So I deleted that one too. I'll give it another go then. I can't see why it shouldn't be straightforward. Thanks.

Well, I've just tried uploading it again. This time the background music [played by myself] was totally missing and the voiceover only played on the first slide. Help!

whats the format of the video, and what are you using to create it?

It's OK, I've managed it now. What I didn't realise was that I could send my Keynote presentation direct to Youtube [File, Send to, Youtube] and it worked perfectly.
