Publish to YouTube and Vimeo

With Adobe Media Encoder, you can publish directly to online destinations like YouTube and Vimeo.

That is encoding and uploading in one step.

Let me show you how it works.

Here is a clip, that I need to publish to Vimeo and YouTube.

I choose the Vimeo preset and drag it onto the clip in the queue When I click on the preset name, I can adjust the settings and in this case I want to adjust the publish settings.

There are four options for publishing: YouTube, Vimeo, Creative Cloud and FTP.

I want to publish to Vimeo.

So I check it.

And I need to sign in to Vimeo.

So Media Encoder knows my account details.

I do that by clicking on Log In.

This will launch my browser, asking to log in to Vimeo.

The next screen is the confirmation that Adobe Media Encoder CC is allowed to upload videos to my Vimeo account.

Click Allow to accept.

That's it.

My Vimeo account is now connected.

I can set the various properties.

In this case I want this video to be Viewable by Anybody with a password.

I'll type in a password that I'll show you later.

As a back up, I want to place a copy of the video to my Creative Cloud files.

So I check Creative Cloud as well.

Adding it to the sub-folder called: Upload.

I'm done here in export settings.

So I click OK to apply these settings.

I want to upload the same video to YouTube.

And because YouTube requires slightly different settings, I add another output.

And find the YouTube preset that I need.

To activate publishing, I click on the preset name, go to the Publish tab, tick the YouTube checkbox and click on Log In.

And just as before, it will launch my browser.

And as I was already signed in to my Google account, I'm presented with my YouTube channels.

I choose the account I want to publish to and accept that Media Encoder may publish to it.

Now that this is done, I can choose if this video is going to be Private, Public or Unlisted.

And you can add tags and a description if you need to do so.

Another publishing option is FTP.

This is very useful, when you need to upload to a private website or specific server.

Sign in with your credentials and to verify the connection, click on the Test button.

And if your credentials are correct, it will confirm that with this pop-up.

So I've set up this export to publish to YouTube and to an FTP server and I click OK to confirm.

You see that there are now 2 output modules in the queue.

For the purpose of this recording I make this first output a bit shorter - about 2 seconds in length.

This is to illustrate that Adobe Media Encoder processes encoding and uploading tasks in parallel.

Now I'll start rendering by clicking on the green Start Queue button.

The encoding is now running and it's rendering the outputs in parallel.

The backup to Creative Cloud is already done and it also finished publishing the shorter clip to Vimeo.

The second one is longer so that takes more time.

But you see that the encoding and uploading run in parallel.

While Adobe Media Encoder is rendering, I can show you this first clip on Vimeo.

So I click on the Output file name and that will take my browser to my Vimeo account that is still busy preparing the video.

And if I go to Settings and then Privacy, I can confirm the password I set for this video.

The encoding of the longer version is now also finished.

And you can see that it's doing the FTP upload in parallel with the YouTube upload.

Now that all is finished, I can check the videos in the respective locations.
