    Ok so I'm taking test videos of Action!, and the videos were uploaded around 2 hours ago now. My internet speed is fine and it seemed to upload pretty fast. But I check the Video Manager and it says "Action rec test" Preparing to Upload. It's said that for like 2 hours, I've re-uploaded it and everything and it still says it's "preparing to upload". Any help?

    If that video recorder doesn't work, I advise you use OBS (Open Broadcasting Software).

    It does work. It's only 3:17 and Action was expensive. And when I tried OBS it didn't open.

    With OBS, you can customize the settings.
    I don't use Action, so sorry I don't know what to do :/

    I checked, and it might be your file size or that YT is under heavy amounts of traffic.

    Maybe it is because it's my first Action! video.

    A video recorder like Fraps, OBS, or bandicam.

    Oh, okay. I'm just not up to date with screen recorders.
    Thanks, Crafter!

    I found out that Action! uses a video file type that YT does not support, I need to tell my dad and figure out how to upload. (Others have uploaded Action! videos so don't tell me I won't.)

    You can export a video file to YouTube from within Action itself.

    Select your recording thumbnail in Action (From your recorded videos list) and click the YouTube button. (It should be somewhere near the bottom left of the Action window) This will show an "Export" window with various exporting and uploading settings.

    Work your way through that, tweaking the settings to suit you. Once you've finished editing the settings, you will be asked to log into your YouTube account. Enter the correct details into that and log in. Then you will have to wait until the video has uploaded.

    I have pressed Export but nothing is happening. I tried again but still nothing.

    You don't use the 'Export' button. Follow the steps I said above. Click the YouTube button below your recorded videos. Change the settings and click 'Start'.

    ---

    If the method I listed in my earlier comment doesn't work, export the video (Using the YouTube option, like I said above), then head over to your web browser and go to YouTube. Click the 'upload' button and browse for the new exported file, not the one saved directly from Action, as it will be an invalid file format for YouTube.
