I am thinking about posting some videos I have shot on youtube and I haven't a clue how to begin the task. Any and all advice would be appreciated. If you know a really good hub on the topic, please feel free to share it. Any pointers on actually joining the YouTube site will be appreciated as well.
Thanks a bunch!

Hey K9,
Are the videos already computer files? If not, then make them so. Then you can simply upload them straight from your computer without any problem. However, there's a "time" restriction YouTube applies. Videos can only be so long.
Otherwise, it's simple one-two-three type steps offered by YouTube.
Hey Cags!
Thanks for the Cool information. What does it take to convert them into "computer files?" I am a true novice at this point. I have a great video camera and the know-how to shoot, just no skill at putting the Video and computer aspects together.
That is something I am not so sure of. However, there should be a way to connect your video camera to your computer via video inputs. Most likely nowadays it will use a USB port either on the front or back.
You will require video capture software to be able to manipulate the video, as you see fit. I know LG puts out such software, because I have a copy of it. I just don't have a video camera to make my own videos.
Check out Cnet.com for software. You can either buy it or you can check out their download section where some software is free.
As always, a wonderful offering of information. Thanks for the link suggestion as well. You have provided me with a direction to start with (which I needed very much)! Kimberly's a lucky bride!

How many views a day should a first YouTube video get?I know that it will depend on many things, but on average, if a person does not have any subscribers, how many views a day is a good sign?

YouTube says I can't download their videos. Is this true? I've seen YouTube videos on other people's hubs. Must I purchase them or what? (I hope I don't seem totally clueless.) Please help.

I've been wanting to make my own video and I just discovered that I have the software already on my computer to do this. I converted four short videos into one and added captions and credits. It really is fun. Have you tried this?Then I uploaded the video to YouTube and used it in a hub. The only...

I noticed yesterday that the videos I am posting from You tube have no sound. It is not my computer because other sites have plenty of sound.
