\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Any device that takes a video – mobile phone<\/a>, video camera<\/a>, digital camera<\/a>, YouTube<\/a>, some iPods<\/a>, webcam<\/a>, tablet<\/a>.

\n1.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Make a movie using one of the above devices. An old VHS will only work if you transfer it to a digital file-you’ll need a digital converter to plug an older camcorder into the computer. You can upload a YouTube movie directly from a phone if you set up a Mobile Profile in YouTube. With a high speed connection, it should generally take a few minutes, give or take.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Edit your movie. Programs such as Mac’s iMovie or Windows’ MovieMaker are both good to add titles, effects, cut out a bad take, etc.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Resize the video so it looks best in YouTube. The site accepts QuickTime .MOV, Windows .AVI, or .MPG files at 340×240 resolution. There’s a 100MB size and 10 minute length limit.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Create a YouTube account. Click on Upload Videos in the upper right corner of the home page.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Create a title, description, tags, category, and set language. The more information the better, to help people find the video.

\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0You can also use the Quick Capture feature to upload to YouTube straight from a webcam. No uploading needed.
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Once you’ve got a video ready, upload it to other sites, like Google Video.
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Market the video: post it on blogs, message boards, social networking sites, and email it.
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Don’t post anything that’s copyrighted or libelous. Check the Terms of Service.<\/p>\n
