Cannot export my video to YouTube

I have a music video which is 4 minutes and 2 seconds long. I've been trying to export it to YouTube but it never works. Either it acts like it is going to work and trudges along but never gets more than 10 minutes into the export. Or, when I go to YouTube first, I'm told that my video isn't the right format? And there is no way that I can find to save my video as anything else than Premiere Elements?

Do you have any recommendations?

Your music is on the Music track which is normally used for the music generated by Premiere Elements' internal system. I don't know why, but music from any other source will often work better when on a regular "Audio" track. Select it and drag it to Audio 1,

Muchas gracias to everyone who weighed in again and again. I tried everything and eventually went to Geek Squad. They advised me to try and export another video to YouTube to see if the problem was my particular file or the Adobe Premiere Elements 2023 program itself. No one at Geek Squad had any idea what the problem was? At home I was able to export another video of the same length. So, what I ended up doing was bringing back a previous version of my video which I had exported to YT and reediting it to my liking. Then, low and behold it worked. I'm pleased with the results. If anyone has any interest, here is the video for "Ordinary Day" by Banned 37. https://youtu.be/cLa57g0C-n4?si=Q054O2saZDR_clH0

Export your video to a mp4 and upload manually.

How can I export my video to an mp4? There is no other option but to save it as a Premiere Elements file.

Karrie,

Don't confuse project files with video files. The most common video file is an ".MP4". You make MP4 files by exporting or "sharing" from the project. You didn't say what version of Premiere Elements you are using, so it may vary a bit. On mine, you Export & Share > Devices > Computer and pick "HD 1920x1080". You will get a chance to pick a saving location and name. With that, you can then watch your new MP4 on you computer and then post it to YouTube using there uploading tools.

If this is what you are doing, where are you stuck?

(Steve's training videos are very good. There is a free 8 part series on YouTube that you should watch if you are new to video editing.)

With the project open,

I am doing all of those things. On quick export and YouTube export I wait and wait and wait and the file never gets beyond 10% rendered. I wait all night. When I try to bring the video in while on YouTube I get this message:

"Processing abandoned"

This error message may occur if the uploaded file is shortened or invalid. It can also occur on reduced upload speeds. Try playing your video back on your device and make sure that you’re using a supported file type, then upload again. If the problem remains, try uploading your video from a different platform."

How can I save my video using a supported file type? Exporting the video from Adobe Premiere Elements 2023 doesn't give me the option to simply the save the video as anything other than Adobe Premiere Elements? And as I've said, when I try to export the process never exceeds 10% rendering?
