How to Upload Final Cut Pro to YouTube

[@TheAsuncions]

The best straight-forward tutorial! I left from using Final Cut (big mistake I know!) And I’m back on it now and forgot how to upload. And this video was so quick and easy! Thank you! ☺️

[@StupidRaisins]

Welcome back and glad it helped!

[@lea-kc]

I can't possibly thank you enough. So many of your videos helped me on my first big "real" project - you're providing a real service! I got to the final stretch, and I thought, I know who I'll ask! Now, where's Dylan....?

[@StupidRaisins]

Here I am! Glad to help.

Thanks bro!! I have a 6 hours video, this tutorial has save me!! and to my Mac too!!

You're welcome!

When I watched this video months ago, I could not appreciate the amount of super useful info about exporting and frame rate ect, because I was concentrating more on the actual edit of my video. But now that I need to export......Wow!! This video has all you might need and much more!! Thank you!! PS: is there another free app like compressor that I can use? And you always seeing 🍩 🍩 everywhere!!😂

[@StupidRaisins]

Have you checked out my app? stupidraisins.com/download/

[@93QTV]

Wow. FCP has changed over the last 15 years. It never used to be this complicated. All you had to do was export it to your storage drive as a single file. I can do that right now with Sony Vegas Pro. Sheesh.

[@StupidRaisins]

We humans are complex beings.

[@Dollectable_Dreams]

I think complexity comes from the fact that there are a million options in fcp and when you have many options things become more complicated for all of these to come and work together.

[@StupidRaisins]

Well said

[@premawilson8353]

Hi, I really like your clear explanation. I am using FCP for the first time and switched from IMovie to FCP for video editing. As I am not familiar with FCP nor do I know anything about it. It took me a month to edit a 7 minute video. But I’m confident I will catch up because that’s how I learned iMovie editing. Somehow I managed to catch up editing almost 40 videos. I edited my 1st video and your instructions above are helpful. However, I see that there is a warning above the resolution: “KZbin format: using an 8-bit codec with HDR content may affect video quality. I’m stuck don’t know what to do. Can you pls help. Thx or if u hv any video then u can share the link. For some reason file cannot be saved, tried few times. I’m using Mac. Share Failed”

[@StupidRaisins]

Hi there. How can I help?

[@premawilson8353]

@@StupidRaisins I managed to solve it by going to FCP website, all good now.

[@Onpointcustommarine]

What do you do when you do this and youtube says "file cannot be found"?

[@StupidRaisins]

Sounds like KZbin didn't find your file. Make sure it's on your computer.

[@designmorsels]

Your tutorials are excellent. Wish I could watch in slomo.

[@Dollectable_Dreams]

You can!!! Click on the settings icon when watching a video and then click on Play Back Speed and choose your speed.

[@designmorsels]

thanks!@@Dollectable_Dreams

[@StupidRaisins]

No problem

Hi! Thanks a milion for those tutorials! Quick question, please: Now, after the update should I choose H.264 Single-pass (Faster) or H.264 Multi-pass (Better)? I have both options

[@StupidRaisins]

Like Leeloo, I prefer Multi Pass (kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIezfaSYjL2XeqM) for better quality but either one is fine.

@@StupidRaisins Thank you! I must tell you that I really enjoy and learn a lot from your videos. Keep up the great work!

@ Thanks!

the version of compressor I have doesnt have "Settings" option when I click the + Any help with that, would be great

What version do you have?

very clear and worthfull but were/how to find the YT prefs? (0:49)

[@StupidRaisins]

Thanks! Linked in the description.

[@VAR_Austin]

this helps alot! is there any way to publish to YT or other directly?

[@StupidRaisins]

No. That feature used to be a part of FCP but they removed it a while ago.

[@barrysvideofellowship8404]

Hello! Good tutorial! I just uploaded a video to youtube and its a blurry mess! I followed all the steps for 1080p but I heard you have to trick KZbin in order to get a higher resolution. I cant figure out how to tell FCP that it needs to be rendered higher than 1080p, even though IT IS 1080p. Would that compressor App help me to do that? Am I wrong in my approach? Thank you!!

[@StupidRaisins]

Following this video should be enough for KZbin. You don't need to trick KZbin. How does the video look after you export it from FCP?

[@racheloshaksmusic]

This is really helpful, thank you ❤ Jesus loves you and died for your sins. Believe and be saved today

[@StupidRaisins]

Glad to help

[@chantellecote]

Hey, would this work for a 20 minute video as well?

[@StupidRaisins]

Yup

[@chantellecote]

@@StupidRaisins Thank you for the quick reply!! I am also curious, I am new to youtube and recorded my video on an iphone 14 pro max in 1080p at 30fps, since I recorded in a lower quality setting, would you still recommend getting compressor to post my video in 4k? Or should i just use 1080p this time? I appreciate your help!

[@StupidRaisins]

No, you don't need Compressor. Just upload as 1080p this time. Even when you record at 4K you don't need Compressor to post your video. Just use the settings I show at 1:22.

[@chantellecote]

@@StupidRaisins thank you:)

[@StupidRaisins]

You're welcome.

[@mrhats830]

mine keeps going back to 1080P =/ I have a 1440P video. There is no option to select 1440P video that I can find in Final Cut....

[@StupidRaisins]

What do you mean?

[@mrhats830]

@@StupidRaisins my exports only show 1080 or 4K exports on Final Cut Pro. I don’t have an option to export at 1440p which is what my Video is recorded at for gaming What I did is I simply export at 4K now and then use hand brake to convert it back to 1440p It’s a simple enough work around but still it’s very annoying that Apple doesn’t make this easier.

[@StupidRaisins]

You can do it right in FCP. Check out this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWq9mYyDZpKcj5o Does that help?

[@bulcub]

how do you upload multiple file formats from FCP to youtube like 720,480, .mp4, .mkv?

[@StupidRaisins]

You can change your resolution in the share window when exporting. For .mp4 select Computer under settings. I don't think you can export .mkv from FCP.

[@bruce8209]

I don't have and don 't buy motion (to complicated) but I folowed the instructions. do I have to set them back? (btw, the movies I used to upload into YT were fine and showed in 1080. so fot what reason should the settings be changed?

[@StupidRaisins]

I don't know what you mean. Set WHAT back? I changed the settings to upload KZbin's suggested specs.

[@KooroshAcademy]

Hi and Thank you for amazing content. Question : how can I find out my videos is SDR or HDR ?

[@StupidRaisins]

It depends what camera you're using. You can also select your file and select get info to see. This article may help you. www.rtings.com/tv/learn/hdr-vs-sdr

[@KooroshAcademy]

@@StupidRaisins Thanks you for answer. my camera is a7slll . It's HDR ?

[@StupidRaisins]

@@KooroshAcademy That camera supports HDR but you have to set it up special to use HDR.

AWESOME! Do you have a website and or do consultations?

Yes and yes. stupidraisins.com/ and you can reach out to me for consultations here: stupidraisins.com/contact/

[@EverydayRoadster]

What is missing in this video (and the previous of same topic) is, what the consequences are when not following the recommendation and upload higher bitrate to KZbin (the why question). Clearly one can easily upload higher bitrate video to KZbin.

[@StupidRaisins]

It will be a bigger file and take longer to upload.

[@EverydayRoadster]

@@StupidRaisins Taken the time it takes to process the video locally and extra storage required, upload time sounds not reasonable. My observation though is, that KZbin side processing is skipped, in case the criteria are met. This shows faster turnaround time after upload and theoretically should provide one with better control over video quality, though the difference in quality seems to be neglectable in most circumstances.

[@StupidRaisins]

@@EverydayRoadster Good points.

[@jackpast]

Must be millions of videos uploaded to youtube that don’t use Compressor. Will youtube not accept a video out of bit rate window?

[@StupidRaisins]

It will accept it.

[@risingsunadventuretravels9908]

Why don't you slow down a bit so new video creators can keep up with you .

[@StupidRaisins]

Gotta lot to cover! Luckily you can pause, rewind and even slow playback.
