I hired someone to do music for my movie, but he is in another country. I uploaded my movie to youtube for him to score, but we he sends me the tracks, the timing is off by a couple of seconds or more on some tracks. I was told it's because youtube speeds up the video just by a little. He still has more to score and time correctly. Is there a website besides youtube that I can upload too, preferably for free, where no timing is lost, that he can download from and work from there? Thanks.
 
Never heard of YT speeding up video before...interesting. Send it with something like www.wetransfer.com - send files up to 2GBs for free. Or use a service like Dropbox. Lots of options.
 
Since YouTube re-encodes/compresses the video according to their own requirements (beyond your control), it is not appropriate for serious production. Just as you would never use MP3 files for editing. YouTube is a RELEASE website, not a file-sharing or production website. As Kegan said, use a non-compressed file and use one of many file-sharing or file-transferring online services.
 
Another problem you should have avoided. Or maybe another listening to the wrong people. Do your frame rates match? Do your sample rates match?

And of course YouTube is the wrong place to use to send files. Use drop box or YouSendIt or your own web site or the composers website or one of the 9 bazilion file transfer websites that exist.

This is sounding like deja-vue all over again... ;~)

Trolling

The art of deliberately, cleverly, and secretly pissing people off, usually via the internet, using dialogue. Trolling does not mean just making rude remarks: Shouting swear words at someone doesn't count as trolling; it's just flaming, and isn't funny. Spam isn't trolling either; it pisses people off, but it's lame.

The most essential part of trolling is convincing your victim that either a) truly believe in what you are saying, no matter how outrageous, or b) give your victim malicious instructions, under the guise of help.
Trolling requires decieving; any trolling that doesn't involve decieving someone isn't trolling at all; it's just stupid. As such, your victim must not know that you are trolling; if he does, you are an unsuccesful troll.

Signs that your trolling is succesful:
*Your victim screaming in all-caps at you.
*Personal attacks (Calling you a retard, idiot, etc).
*Being an Internet Tough Guy.
*Making a crude remark, before quickly logging off before you can retort.

Signs that your trolling is unsuccesful:
*Your victim identifying you as a troll.
*Identifying yourself as a troll.
*Your efforts being ignored.
*Being counter-trolled

What Richard said.
 
Supposedly, YouTube, (and Vimeo) in 'their' re-encoding process changes the audio sample-rate to 44.1kHz. That said, I've never experienced any issue with videos having 48k audio.
I always upload an .MP4 file (container) with AVC H-264 media. Many recommend 'Handbreak' for transcoding files prior to uploading.
