Video import and export to Youtube

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

With the new design on Animasher.com, we have also added some really cool features. For example, it is now possible to use videos (flv-files) in your animations. You can also upload your finished Animasher animation to Youtube. Here’s how…

1. You need a video in .flv-format.

If you don’t already have a flv-file on your computer that you want to use, you can use keepvid.com to download your video from Youtube.

On keepvid, enter the url to the movie on youtube you wish to use…

keepvid

Then you simply klick download…

and rightclick the download link that appears below, and choose “Save link as” and save it where you want it on your computer…

Now you have an flv video file for your next Animasher masterpiece!

2. Upload to Animasher

Now that you have the flv, just click on “Create” in Animasher and then “Video” and “Upload Video”, where you chose your flv-file…

Upload

Pick a name for the file, tags, and the settings you want for this video. Once that is done, and you’ve clicked “Save”, your uploaded video will appear in your library…

3.Create your animation.

Use the video, add images, music, sound effects, speech bubbles, and whatever you want to your animation. If you want to learn how, check it here.

4. Save and publish to Youtube

When you are ready with your animation, click save, and pick a name, tags and the settings you want for the animation. Once that is done, click “Save and share”…

When asked if you want to publish on Youtube, click “Yes”, fill in title, category, description, tags, and then provide your username and password for your account on Youtube (not Animasher).

Once that is done, click “Export” and you’re done! It might take a few minutes for Youtube to process your animation, but once that is ready, you can see it among your movies on your Youtube account!

Go for it! =)
