Uploading a Video

Gareth Casey Updated by Gareth Casey

From the Video window, click the video thumbnail to open the video in the Edit and Upload Window.

To upload the whole video, simply click the button for the service that you want to upload. FlashBack can upload to Google Drive, YouTube, Dropbox and OneDrive.

To upload just a clip made from your video, resize the grey bar below the video preview window to select the section of the video that is used to make the clip and then click on the relevant upload button. See Making a Clip for more details.
