I have a 12 minute video that I want to get on youtube, but.... it's twelve minutes long.

So, with basic crap like movie maker, ((Which I didn't use to make the movie, I recorded it on VBA)), and media editor, is it even doable?

It's doable. In Movie Maker, copy and paste the movie so that you have 2 of the same video.

Cut the first one in half by dragging the end towards the beginning, and cut the second one in half by dragging the beginning towards the end. They should meet in the middle. Copy the second clip, save it, and open up a new movie. Paste the second clip, and you have part 2. Save that, then go back to part 1 and delete the second part.

Complicated, I know, but it really doesn't take more than 3 to 5 minutes.


And stay away from YouTube. Boycott and all.

Youtube has more publicity, however, and videos are more likely to be watched.

@Geno Claus: Yoshi can upload it AFTER the boycott is over. BTW, how long is it supposed to be?!

@Yoshi: I know an easier way. Open a new project file. Import the 12-minute video (Uncheck the "Make clips" option!). Put the whole video into the Timeline. Click about ten seconds before the 6-minute mark. Hit play in the preview window. When it gets to EXACTLY six minutes, pause it. Then click the button that says "Split clip at selected frame" or something like that; I'm in Windows 2000 so I can't double-check, but this is basically how you do it. Delete the second clip, and save the project under a different name, like "<videoname> Part1" or something, then have it make a video of the Part 1 clip. For best YouTube viewing, select "640x480, High Quality" as the Convert To format. Click OK, and wait about five to ten minutes for it to compile the video clip. Then open the original file, and delete the first clip. Important: Move the second clip to the beginning of the Timeline if it doesn't automatically do it. Save it as "<videoname> Part2", and then make a video file of the second clip, with the same settings.
After the YouTube Boycott is over, upload the Part1 clip. Once YouTube finishes processing it, upload the Part2 clip as a Video Response to Part1. (This makes it easier to find Part2. Also, use the same category and tags in both videos' descriptions.) And now you've uploaded a Split Video to YouTube! Not that I've ever had to do it, since Roblox videos are usually about three to five minutes, and the last one I uploaded was for the RobloxSecretHalloween Contest...

(Sorry that I keep making walls-o-text, but in this case, it was necessary.)
