Yes, I tried adding the youtube music, unfortunately we had some speaking in our videos as well, and the music just worked as a blanket over the entire video. Have they changed it so that you can put it into only certain sections of your video?

Hi Deb great informative post.
I used YouTube a lot at the start of my blogging 2 years ago., and loved what you can do with iMovie but sometimes when you compress the files the quality of the video becomes a little blurred but now YouTube has increased the MB and the time up to 10min. I had the same problem recently with the usage of music but now YouTube kind of came up with a solution they provide a verity of free music to choose from to add to you video on site I had to add new music to some of my previous videos its not the same effect I had before but then at least there isn’t any copyright breeching with it.

That is fantastic! Thanks for the heads up about iStockPhoto.com, I will definitely be checking them out!

Great article Deb! I took your advice and posted a video on YouTube of a media trip that I took in April – I’ll be posting a short blog post about it tomorrow…..

When you get around to re-editing your videos that were removed because of the music copyrights, you should check out iStockPhoto.com – I know there are a lot of sites that offer royalty-free music, but iStockPhoto added a section for music and they already have a lot to choose from – all free of copyright issues for non-commercial use.

Thanks again for contributing!

Hello Deb,

Great article. Very easy to understand.

One question though. What software (free, please!) for video editing can be used by us Windows Freaks?

The Apple software sounds nice, but I cannot use it. Right?

Really wanted to get started with taping videos in the next 1-2 months. Haven’t figured out how to do editing though. I want to switch between live video recording and showing stuff on the computer. Needless to say, I will not tape the computer screen but will use software to capture my screens

Thanks again and looking forward to your responses!

Best Regards,
M Brand

Hey Stan
We haven’t checked compatibility with 2.8 because we haven’t upgraded yet. We are opposite and like to wait for the bugs to be ironed out:-) But as soon as we upgrade and find out, we will let you know. Yes, it sucks about the music, but it is our fault. When we originally uploaded them 3 years ago, we weren’t really concerned with copywrite or anything. They were just shorter versions of the videos we made for our home movies to share with friends online. I am going to get around to re-editing them and re-posting though, because they were our favorite videos. Thanks for the comments.
