I've tried mulitiple times, but I can't upload a video to Facebook.  It goes through the whole process, and when it's done "uploading" it comes back with an Error Message - Unknown Error. 

Please help!

    Thanks for the reply. Please excuse in post numbered 3. I was typing hard drive in one place and it got posted as "card". But, fortunately, I think you got the idea that I was mentioning at the place in the post. The system will not allow me to correct that.

    SG and all of us will be looking forward to your results.

    I also have this problem. I don't want to register on YouTube to upload a video to Facebook.

    You will need to clarify and give more details of your situation.

    What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?

    You wrote

    I don't want to register on YouTube to upload a video to Facebook.

    Who is saying that you should? You will need to open an account at the Facebook if that is where you want to upload

    video to. What is your concern...can you not upload a Premiere Elements Timeline to Facebook from the sharing section

    of whatever version of Premiere Elements that you have...alternately, can you not export your Timeline to a file saved to the

    computer hard drive and then upload that file to Facebook at the Facebook web site?

    Depending on your answers, please reply including

    a. project preset

    b. properties of what you have on the Timeline

    c. wording of any program errors that you are getting relating to upload to Facebook from within Premiere Elements sharing

    area

    More later.

    Hi,

    Thanks for quick response.

    I have Elements 12 and Windows 7. I have successfully uploaded videos to a friend’s account on YouTube, but no luck with Facebook. I have exactly the same problem as the person above; rendering and uploading starts out fine but on one second left I get the message “unknown error”.

    Saving the clip on hard-disc for uploading is has not been possible, because Facebook foes not accept .prel files and I don’t know how to convert them. Could you guide me through the steps, please.

    How long is your video? Some sites have file size limitations.

    It could also be a transcoding error.

    Try outputting your video using Publish & Share/Computer/AVCHD with the YouTube HD preset and then upload this MP4 manually. Should look great!

    THanks for the tip.  I have Premiere Elements 12

    The pre-sets do not have a YouTube HD presets.  It only has a bunch of FLV presets that have various Flash versions in parenthasis.  What should I use?

    What SG is suggesting is that, depending on your project settings, you can export your Premiere Elements 12 Timeline to a file and then upload that file which was saved to the computer card to YouTube at the YouTube web site.

    The export choice that he is suggesting for creating that file is

    Publish+Share

    Computer

    AVCHD

    with Presets = YouTube Widescreen HD

    The file obtained will have AVCHD video compression and a .mp4 file extension. The frame size will be 1280 x 720 @  24 progressive frames per second.

    If you wanted to customize the export settings here, then you would go to under Advanced Button/Video Tab and Audio Tab.

    To see if this works for you, you can leave the defaults and observe the results.

    Add On...Responding to all SG's questions will expedite matters.

    Add On...If you are seeing flv offering, you are in the wrong place. You are in Publish+Share/Computer/Adobe Flash Video. There are several choices under Computer

    Adobe Flash Video

    MPEG

    AVI

    AVCHD

    Windows Media

    Image

    Audio

    The key is to scroll down to see the whole list. See scroll bar to right of list that you do see. Lots of people miss the options toward the bottom if they do not use the scroll.
