@noldakerHi, we need more details, a screen capture of the screen with your audio & the Export settings you're using.

This is an MP3 file i exported as an MPEG-4 file of my drill press,

No image, audio only on the timeline

Exported as a small resolution, pointless having it large when it's only audio,

Warning msg about it being blank, click ignore

Youtube upload took seconds.

Trying what you suggested above...When I did this b4 - it plays out perfectly...Problem is YouTube upload...Question...Do I need to render before exporting? And, when exporting MP4 - does it convert the audio files from .wav files to mp4? Video is only 14 min 30 secs long...Makes me wonder if YouTube has an upload space limit? Thank you for your help. Appreciated.

Hi

. . . . Problem is YouTube upload . . . .

If you are trying to export and upload directly from Movie Edit Pro/Movie Studio this should work in Movie Studio 2023.

Try exporting, no pre-render required, the video file to your PC and then use Youtubes own uploader.

@noldaker Ah sorry I exported as -

I used one of the default templates, the only thing i changed was the resolution but that prob isn't necessary,

But I uploaded to Youtube from my Dashboard, (top right of your YT channel it'll say Create), I don't use the one inc in MS so I can't comment on that.

'Maximum upload size?

The maximum file size you can upload is 256 GB or 12 hours, whichever is less. We've changed the limits on uploads in the past, so you may see older videos that are longer than 12 hours.'
