Greetings:

My friends and I like to post some videos on Youtube but we've always used a PC to do it. I just got this Macbook Pro so we fired up iMovie and recorded a song. In iMovie, it sounds just like it should and the volume is good. However, when I hit Share from the menubar and then Youtube, the video uploads fine but there isn't sound or it is just VERY quiet. Last night we tried everything! We even tried exporting it using quicktime and playing with various sound codecs but we can't find the right mix that makes our youtube video end up just like the iMovie video.

Here's a link to the YouTube video to show you what we mean. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqXZM7g0D_Q

Can someone please help us with this? We need to know how to get an iMovie that sounds normal up to Youtube with the same sound.

Thanks in advance for any help you may provide!

You could just export it from iMovie as a regular .mov, and use the YouTube Web interface to upload, and see if that helps.

We've tried that too. It just doesn't want to give us the same sound volume.

Is there a way to export with the sound as MP3? I think that would help but in the sound settings, I don't have an MP3 option.
