Hi again. So I've uploaded my first fanvid to youtube, however it won't play on mobile devices. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Unfortunately, your only options when it comes to YT blocking mobile playback is to change your song.  When they monetize and restrict videos based on songs, there’s not really a lot that vidders can do to strike back. It happens to all of us.  And it sucks.

I use iMovie to make my fanvids and the quality of them are great, like 720p on both iMovie and quicktime player. But as soon as I upload it to youtube, the quality drops heaps and falls out of sync. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

I hate it when I have a video perfectly synched up.  And I load it up onto YT and all of a sudden the whole thing goes wonky.  Sometimes reuploading it fixes the issue.  Sometimes I get annoyed and try to re-render the project even though I know nothing’s wrong with it. 

If the videos playback without issue on your computer, this sounds like a YT issue.  Does it happen every time?  Is it slightly out of sync? Or majorly? 

Perhaps one of our followers knows better how to neutralize this?
