Video - OLD UPLOADER
Overview: The following tutorial explains how to upload video files
into your account using the old Photobucket uploader.
Requirements: You must be a Photobucket account holder. You must be using a web browser that supports javascript and has javascript enabled. You can enable javascript in your browser's settings/preferences/options, or refer to the our blog post here for instructions.
Steps to Take:
- Open the Photobucket site at http://www.photobucket.com
Enter your username and password at the top of the page, then click the log in button to log into your Photobucket account.
- Select the albums & upload button from the menu at the top of your album.
- Navigate to the album you would like to upload your video into. From the upload panel, click on the "old uploader" link.
Note: If you are already using the old uploader, this step will not apply to you.
- From the old upload panel, click on the "video" tab.
- If you would like to try our Video & Webcam (beta) uploader, please click on the "Try It" button. Click here for this tutorial for additional assistance.
- If you have a Free account, and would like the ability to upload videos up to 10 minutes in length, click on the "options" link and you will be able to upgrade to a Pro account from here.
Note: You can also choose to "Scramble" your filenames from here as well.
- Browse your computer for the file you want to upload.
Note: Make sure the filename does not have any special characters such as ( / * , ‘ …etc.
- Double click on the video you would like to upload, or select the "Open" button with the video highlighted.
Note: Supported video file types are 3g2, 3gp, 3gp2, 3gpp, 3p, asf, avi, divx, dv, dvx, flv, moov, mov, mp4, mpeg4, mpg4, mpe, mpeg, mpg, qt, wmv, xvid
- The "click to add title (required)" field will let you add a description or title to your video. This will display above the video in your album and will be accessible with Photobucket "Search" if your account is set to public. Titling your video is required in order to upload your content.
Selecting the "remove" link will remove the video from the upload panel. If you would like to choose a different video, click remove.
- Click on the "Upload" button when you are ready to proceed. This will start the uploading process for your video.
- The progress meter will be enabled as your video begins to upload. Your video will first be uploaded, and then encoded. The progress meter will reflect both processes at the appropriate times. This may take longer depending on the size and length of your video and the speed of your internet connection.
- When the video has successfully been uploaded, a message will appear at the top of your page that says, "1 of 1 video has uploaded!"
- Your video is now available in your Photobucket account for sharing and linking around the web!
