Any sugestions on transferring long training videos from my work iPad to YouTube. We quite often have several hour videos and I find I can't transfer them.
Two questions, is there something better to post to than YouTube? And how do I re- format an iPad video to post?
Thanks,
Patty
Please keep it simple!!

You don't say what error you get but . . . . Have you verified your You Tube account? Until you do you're limited to 15 min videos

The Account is verified. It tells us that the video is too long. We generally want to publish a two hour video. Should I try Vimeo?

Vimeo, for basic accounts has a 500mb file size limit

Load the video in iMovie (for iPad) and chop a 60 minute video in 4 parts of 15 minutes and save each part as an individual file. Then upload each segment to Youtube.

When saving the files in iMovie for iPad, name each file as ”Training video part 1”, ”Training video part 2”

Due to the length (and size) of such file on your iPad, I am not 100% sure if this will create memory problems, otherwise transfer the file to your Mac/PC first, an then chop it up in 15 minutes segment using iMovie for Mac or for instance Windows Movie Maker for Windows.

I hope this helps.

Thank you both!

How do I transfer to a computer? The error is always that the file is too large.
