Help! Uploading a video tutorial to my blog

[Mothermark]

Hi guys......I have a question. I made a video tutorial on making my clouds and I know where I go to upload it but it processes, and processes and processes.. It takes hours to upload, so long that I just end up canceling it. I know my video is probably to big but I don't know how to get it in the right format to go on....

I probably sound like I don't know what I am doing because I dont!

Thanks!

I put a lot of videos of our kids at sporting events etc. on our family blog and ran across the same thing. I just use Google Video to host and embed it from there. It does take a bit to upload but I have never run across the time I wasted on waiting for blogspot to upload.;)

I love your comment 'I probably sound like I don't know what I am doing because I dont!' LOL

I think that describes lots of us in Blog-land!

My SIL uploaded hers to YouTube and somehow linked from there. Not much help I know - but someone here might be able to tell you how to do this.

Good luck and let us know how you get on

Once a video is uploaded on YouTube, it gives you a code you need to use to embed the video elsewhere. To upload to YouTube, you have to open a free account with them. HTH.

Is the format you are trying to post your video in Blogger supported?

I know that in my video-making software, I haveto "Publish to Web" to get it in the right format.

If you go the YouTube route, here's a thread about how to embed the video...
