After you make your movie, you’ll want to share it with the class, via our class site. Below are some tips on how to export and upload your movies.
Exporting
Name your video and export it, saving it as a file to your computer, Dropbox, Google Drive, or some other cloud device. You can then upload it to YouTube, Vimeo, or some other platform, but always make sure you save your movie as a file before you do this.
To export, click the box with the arrow (in photo) and choose file:

Uploading
After you export your movie and save it, you’ll want to upload it to our class site. The best way to do this is to upload it to a video-sharing website like YouTube or Vimeo. Two helpful tutorials on how to do this are below:
- Uploading your video to Vimeo (Temple University)
- Upload Videos to YouTube (Google)
Once your movie is on one of these sites, you can embed it into a post. Embedding is easy, just copy the video’s URL and drop it into the body of the post. For YouTube, you can click on the ‘share arrow’ to get a shortened URL to drop into your post.
Privacy options
- YouTube doesn’t allow a password option. Instead, you can make the movie private and then invite all of us to view the video or choose the unlisted option. ***Unlisted means that your video will not come up in search engine result or on your channel. Only those who know the link can view it. You can share the link with anyone, even those who do not have a YouTube account/username. This means that this video could still be seen by anyone, but only if they guess the link!
- Vimeo allows you to password protect your movie — let us know your password if you choose this route.
