Did you not “check” the exported file before uploading it to YT?

To check your project in PS, use timeline view, zoom out as far as you can and check there is nothing (no image, audio file, video) at the end of it, which is apparently at about 58 miinutes. PS will always include any object on the timeline in the export, even if it is preceded by a very long gap.

Hi

. . . . How do i add my own commentary to my slide show . . . .

Referring to the image below - use the recording button indicated by the blue arrow in the image to open the Recording options dialog and set:

  1. The microphone input - if this is not available see the note below
     
  2. the recording format, as shown in the red box, to DAT, this is the standard format/samplerate for video.
     
  3. With the timeline cursor at the point you want the commentary to start, click the Record button - green box.

    When asked to save the recording specify a unique name that is different from the default offered, so as not to overwrite previous recordings if you do this in multiple takes.

The recording will appear on the timeline in the audio track as indicated by the yellow arrow (Timeline mode).

Note: if the microphone does not appear in the Record dialog, ensure the Windows settings, Privacy & Security, Microphone, Let desktop apps access your microphone option is turned on - you may need to scroll down the 'Microphone page' to see this setting.

HTH
