How to Upload Videos from Kapwing to YouTube

Introduction

Hey everyone, this is Robert from Kawaii. I'm here inside the Kapwing Studio Editor today to guide you through the process of uploading a video from Kapwing to YouTube.

In this article, we'll take a fully edited video and upload it to YouTube, aiming to garner views, comments, and perhaps even some revenue. Let's dive into the steps.

Step-by-Step Guide

Preparing Your Video

I've got a video open in the Kapwing Studio, complete with subtitles and edits. All the editing work is finished, and now we're ready to upload it to YouTube. This video is a promotion for the Kapwing Creators Fund—check out the description below for more information.

Exporting the Video

Export Video: Click the big red "Export Video" button in the top right corner.
Processing: You will be taken to a page that says "Your watermark-free content is being processed." If you’re logged into Kapwing, there won’t be any watermarks. Otherwise, the process remains the same, and you'll see some code flashing across the screen.

Wait a moment until the processing completes to proceed to the next step.

Downloading the Video

Once processing is complete, the video is ready to be downloaded:

Download: Click the "Download" button. This is the same whether you're on mobile or desktop.
Save File: The video file will be saved to your downloads folder by default. Now you have a copy of the video on your hard drive.

Uploading to YouTube

Let's get the video over to YouTube:

Open YouTube: Click the "Create" button (a plus sign in the top right corner).
Upload Video: Click "Upload Video" which takes you to the YouTube Studio.
Drag and Drop: Open the folder containing your downloaded file, and drag it into the YouTube Studio upload area.

The video will now start uploading, and you can begin to add details such as the title, description, tags, and thumbnail.

Conclusion

Once you export your video from Kapwing, download it to your device, and drag it into YouTube, you’ll be guided to add the final details to your YouTube upload. The process is very consistent across both mobile and desktop platforms.
