Ok so i just put a movie together in iMovie, i go to share it on Youtube and it says 'an error has occurred'..thats it...nothing else, nothing on what the error is, how to fix it, nada.

So wtf do i do now? I need to get this vid up...
 
Are you trying to export your movie directly to YouTube?

Try exporting it as a quicktime movie first, and then upload that file to YouTube.

That's what I do and I've never had a problem.
 
Madmic23 is right -- that's the best idea. The other possibility is that your YouTube login name or password are incorrect. Validate them by signing into YouTube.

Hey guys thanks for the advice. I was signed into youtube, so i signed out, then back in again and tried to export the move to youtube again...and it worked :). Thanks again for the help, ill remember the quicktime trick if i ever run into anymore problems.

I converted it to a quicktime movie. Then I clicked on the upload arrow on the upper right hand corner of my youtube creator studio page. Lastly, I clicked, dragged and dropped the movie. Wah Lah!
