hi,
i need some help please, a little confused...
I use a HD digital camera to record videos (in HD), and i edit these videos for youtube in iMovie..
though here I get confused... once i 'share to youtube' , i then have the option of what size, one size being HD... and if this is clicked, before the status of 'uploading to youtube' , i get 'converting video to HD' or something along them lines... now why would it need to convert to HD, if i recorded in HD?
Anyway, thats not all, iMovie will only upload to YouTube, videos 10 minutes or less, though if i uploaded a video from my desktop to YouTube, i am allowed 15 minutes?
Ontop of this, uploading a 10 minute video takes around 5-8 hours via iMovie, which i think is ridiculous,
yet if i were to upload the exact same video from my desktop to YouTube, it will take near enough the 6 hour mark every time..
I've heard people say that their 15 minute HD videos take at most 3 hours to upload (without using iMovie) ...
So if possible, could you answer me these following problems:
1. Why if i recorded in HD, does it need to convert to HD?
2. Why does iMovie only allow 10 minute videos? Not like my 15 min allowance on YouTube?
3. Why does it take so long to upload?
4. Is there a way to have my HD video on YouTube, without the file type being .mov ? because i've seen that my 10 min videos are around 900mb each as a .mov, yet if they were a .mp4 or anything, they would be around 500mb , essentially halving the upload time?
Sorry, and thanks in advance!
