Youtube downloads.... help needed.

[HKB]

I did a video of a live event for a radio station website and downloaded it to a youtube account that I created just for projects of this nature for the station. This way they could keep the video some what private and still use it by coping the URL or embedded code. As it turns out they want the video download on the stations youtube (account) page and asked me how I could transfer it. I know I could do it if I logged into their account but I'm not sure if they would want to compromise their password to someone that is not working directly for them. Is there another easy way to do this?

I don't think you can transfer it. Give them a copy and let them upload it themselves. If they have a youtube page, someone probably manages that.

A copy of the FCP raw sequence?

Just host the video file somewhere they can upload it from (ftp server) or give them the file on a disc.

Those are specs for what to export out of FCP. Once that file that is created, do what Kit said above.

Any suggestions for a free FTP server?

https://www.yousendit.com/ - you can send files through this site.

Hosting costs money. If you are serious about this kind of work, I'd look into getting a website/server.

(If you meant Free FTP program, I use Fetch and Captain FTP, both pay programs I believe. Try looking on CNET's software downloads for something?)

Seriously seriously. godaddy.com is cheap. You can get a hosting plan for like $5 a month and have and use it for an ftp server.

Thanks to both of you.... for setting me straight. I've decided to try dropbox for shorts under 2G.
