Uploading Your Video

Gareth Casey Updated by Gareth Casey

When using the free version of Flashback Express 7, a watermark will be added to the uploaded video.

When you have finished editing your project, you can upload a video of it directly to either YouTube or Google Drive. This saves you having to export a video file first and then manually uploading that.

To upload. simply click the Export button and then select either YouTube or Google Drive in the dropdown that appears.

When you upload to YouTube for the first time, you will need to connect Flashback Express to the YouTube account that you will upload to:

  1. After clicking the YouTube button on the Edit & Upload Window, click the Connect to YouTube button on the window that will appear.
  2. Your browser should open to the YouTube login page. If it doesn't, click the Copy URL button and then paste the link into your browser instead.
  3. Sign into the YouTube account that you want to upload to.
  4. Click the Allow button when asked to give Flashback Express access to manage your YouTube videos.

Once Flashback Express is connected to your YouTube account, or if you previously connected them, the Upload to YouTube Window will then appear. Your YouTube account name and avatar picture will be displayed in the top left corner.

(You can change which YouTube account Flashback Express is connected to by clicking the Signout button in the top right corner of the Upload to YouTube Window and then repeating the above process for the new account)

You can then enter the details for your video:
