Grey replaces text in youtube
Have a 3 min clip and added a title text and fade in/out dissolve. Plays okay in FCP 7 timeline but when it goes to youtube the title text and fade in/out are replaced by a solid grey clip.

maybe youtube is censoring your text?
what are your steps between FCP & YouTube?

The clip has an 82 year old man singing 3 minutes of opera. Usually censorship comes maybe a day or even a week later if youtube figures it’s “illegal”. Also the grey clips are only in the text and fade in/out not in the opera video. I am going to make a version with the clip only, no text nor fade in/out.

I exported as Quicktime movie w/ProRes 422 LT, the QT file that came out was perfect and when I upload to Youtube the fade in/fade out effect for video audio fade in/out also becomes a grey clip with no image.
Video came from Nikon at 720 and preset was ProRes 1080 and DVCPRO HD 1080p30, I’ve been out of editing for almost a year and no doubt have forgotten alot.

Sorry Dave… export self contained.
I’m wondering if I messed up the codecs somewhere, I think I did 6 different versions and one was digitally breaking up at QT clip… another wasn’t acceptable to Youtube. It’s all a big mess, I managed to get a straight clip with no transitions and that played ultimately.
I’m going to continue testing and hope it isn’t something that’s going to happen all the time.
thanks for your help anyways… I appreciate it.

One more try… I didn’t use any transitions but left a tiny space at head of timeline and then video — result was that little space went grey but after that video was fine. One question; would this happen if I didn’t start at timeline head but maybe a few seconds ahead?
