Hi Guys (you knowledgeable ones) I have just finished my very first ever video and I have some questions regarding how to show it off to me friends.
It is fast approaching the 4th anniversary of my brothers passing RIP way too early at 45, and I would like to dedicate this video to him as I shot it all in Hertford, a part of the world that he lived and loved so much, and even the fact that it had a canal with Barges (his midlife crisis was to sell his house and buy a barge!).
The video is just over 4 minutes long and therefore quite a large file and the music is royalty based but I think if its just for my friends to listen too even if I put it on my private folder on YouTube etc is it ok.
What’s the best way of uploading this can I do it straight to Facebook or do I have to put a link to YouTube etc.
Video editing was done on Davinci Resolve 16 and yes you can all have a laugh at it when I upload it here, as its my first time as a trainee Drone Pilot and Video editor. I have learned a lot doing it so next one will be easier and better quality but I am happy with my first effort.
Thanks for taking the time to read this drone let me know your much valued thoughts.
Cheers Dave
You can do either … FB may have an upload limit but I don’t know. However, due to quality ** reasons I’d put it onto YT and then share the link with only those you want to.
** FB will compress the ÂŁ$%^& out of it and it will likely end up not looking like that which you created.
Far better to post to YouTube (or, for quality, Vimeo ) and post the YT/Vimeo URL in your posts here ( … and in FB if you wish to share it with people there).
FB quality is pants. Also, a lot of people… “just don’t do FB” … so will never see it.
I’ve stuck a few videos up on Youtube lately - I’ve found that the quality issue goes away if you convert it 4K and upload it,
(my original files are either Lo-res 640x480 from my FPV goggles or 1080p from my onboard DVR recorder on my FPV quad) -
YT then sees it as 4K and the streamed quality is much better. What is the resolution of your completed video?
(I’m also playing around with Davinci Resolve 16 - I’m liking it so far)
I have a video on YouTube that uses the Benny Hill theme, (don’t ask ), Youtube just noted that it was Copyright and as my channel is not monetised I can use it - so - you should be ok
Ah, computers! Is there a specific error message? One suggestion would be to try using a different internet browser - if you’re uploading on Internet Explorer or Edge, try Google Chrome instead.
just changed to Google Chrome and it failed again just noticed a small yellow Triangle at bottom left next to home symbol it had a ! in middle this is what it said when I opened it MediaOut1 cannot get Parameter for Input at time 126 any idea what I do now?
In Resolve at the end of rendering I have ipvanish so I’m trying again with that off see if it makes a difference with upload spread I’m new to all this uploaded one in filmora that worked easily so not sure if I’m doing something wrong in DR
I have got a copy of the video on my pc saved out of Resolve do you mean upload that to YT I have just tried with ipvanish off and it has told me it failed due to one of the clips which is one I could not get to clean up as good as I wanted it so will need to go back see what I can do with it

Thank you so much you guys on this site are just so welcoming friendly and helpful thanks again I’ll put a copy of my very first proper flight and video on here so you can all steer me in my development direction
Yeah - Over the years, video editors that are meant to upload to YT, Vimeo, etc., have had so many mixed results I gave up using them for that a long time ago.
As @callum said, export locally and them upload to wherever … never failed that way.
