How to create Youtube videos using Windows Movie Maker

Make your movie using 'Windows Movie Maker', which comes as a free component of many computers. Save your file. This will put the movie in the MSWMM format which Movie Maker can read, but which YouTube cannot read.

1. Open your saved file.

2. Go to the file menu and click Save Movie File, or press Control and P.

3. Select My Computer

4. Click Next.

5. Enter a name for your file, and choose to store it in an easy-to-find place such as My Videos

6. Click Next.

7. Select the setting you want. Best quality for playback on my computer may be the recommended setting, but YouTube doesn't take .wmv. Instead, go to the More settings option and set it to DV-AVI (NTSC), which will turn your file into a .avi.

8. Go on YouTube.

9. Make sure you have an account and click Upload.

10. Fill in the forms.

11. Upload your video by clicking on Upload Video. The upload will take a little while.
