When I try to publish videos from Premiere to YouTube, I get this error:
02/24/2016 01:20:41 PM : YouTube({
"error": {
"errors": [
{
"domain": "youtube.video",
"reason": "invalidDescription",
"message": "The request metadata specifies an invalid video description.",
"locationType": "other",
"location": "body.snippet.description"
}
],
"code": 400,
"message": "The request metadata specifies an invalid video description."
}
}
) - {
"error": {
"errors": [
{
"domain": "youtube.video",

"message": "The request metadata specifies an invalid video description.",

}
],
"code": 400,
"message": "The request metadata specifies an invalid video description."
}
}
I've encountered a similar error from both FCPX and Premiere when my title is too long (over 70 characters). I'm wondering what the rules are for a YouTube description. I've read that the max character length is 5000, but I didn't find that on an official YouTube page, so I'm not sure. Plus, my description text is way less than 5000 characters, so It must be something else. I've tried eliminating most special characters (everything but spaces, periods, minus signs, and capital letters), but I'm still getting this error.
Can anyone point me to an official list of requirements for the title text and description text of YouTube videos?
This is an especially frustrating problem because neither Premiere nor FCPX will warn against these errors before rendering out video. They'll happily churn away for an hour or more, try to upload, then poop themselves.
edit
A few people have recommended that I export from premiere to my local machine, then upload to youtube through the web interface. The trouble is, I don't have my company's YouTube password. I'm on a company workstation which knows the password and should be able to upload, but I don't know it myself.
