4. Set Video Details

A window will open where you can provide additional details about your video. It's important to check the resolution, length, and frame rate. In the "Privacy" section, you can choose whether the video should be private or public. Select the category – in this example, "Education" – that best fits your video.

5. Add Title and Description

Give the video the title you want. You can be creative here; I simply entered "ABCD EFG." You can skip the description as you will edit it later on YouTube. However, it's advisable to think about tags and the description, as they are important for the discoverability of your video.

6. Finalize Export

On the last page, give the export a name. I recommend copying the title of your video to save time. Paste the title into the appropriate field and then click "Export." After that, you need to click "Save." This will render the video and upload it directly to YouTube.
