  • My Graphics disappear after uploading my exported quicktime movie to YouTube

    Posted by Nicholas Bierzonski on March 26, 2019 at 2:06 am

    I have a real puzzler for the cow:

    Some background on me first. I worked professionally for approx. 6 years as an editor using Final Cut Pro 4 through 7. I left the industry and recently have jumped back into editing with Final Cut Pro X.

    I recently cut a music project video in Final Cut Pro X and exported a compounded (Nesting in Final Cut Pro 7) timeline to quicktime using ProRes 422.

    The Quicktime exported movie looks great and has some simple graphic titles in the quicktime movie.
    When I view the quicktime movie the graphic titles are present in the movie.

    I uploaded the quicktime ProRes 422 movie to YouTube.
    The movie uploaded and plays but the graphic titles aren’t there in the processed YouTube video.

    I did export from a timeline that was compounded (Like nesting in the older Final Cut Pro 7) to apply some minor color correction.

    I don’t think that is the issue because I can open the exported quicktime movie and see the titles.
    Has anyone run into this issue before?

    Above is a screen shot of the video with the graphic title and my codec properties.

    I did a search on the cow and elsewhere. I haven’t found any having the exact problem that I am describing.

    I appreciate any help, advice and time you have to offer!

    The only thing I can think of is your exported QT movie has the titles on a separate video track, which is unlikely. The fact that your main storyline is a compound clip shouldn’t matter.

    You could try to export .mp4 from your timeline and upload that – I’m fairly certain things would work that way.

    Doug,

    Thank you for your reply. I wanted to update everyone.

    So I have good news. The issue has been resolved…by itself.

    However I still don’t know what went wrong in the first place or why it was fixed.

    I logged into my brand new YouTube video account a day later. (I should mention there were no videos added before my first video upload.)

    I found (to my surprise) not 1. But 2 videos uploaded to my YouTube account.

    They were duplicate videos.

    Video one was the full video missing the graphic titles.

    Video two was the full video with the graphic titles.

    I simply deleted the extra video missing the graphic titles.

    I uploaded a test video approximately 10 seconds in length to see if I could duplicate this issue.

    There were no issues with my short test clip and I haven’t had any issues since.

    So to recap…the issue resolved itself.
    And I’m not sure what caused the issue in the first place.

    This is a strange one and still a mystery to me.

    But thank for you reply Doug. I appreciate it.
