Be Sure to Save your Video Project!

If you forget to "SAVE YOUR PROJECT AS", then you will not be able to edit it. Be sure you save it as a project first, So set up a folder for Video Projects and save a copy there before you "save to computer" This "save" is a finished piece and cannot be edited. THEN, save it to your computer as a finished movie. The finished movie will be the one you upload to the video hosting sites but you can't edit those. I learned the hard way.

SUPER TIP: save your video using one of your keywords that you will be using in your video title, description and tags. Google looks through to the raw video name even for keywords.

Specifically YouTube Related

Adding "Autoplay" to your videos. This allows your videos to
automatically start playing when some lands on your website.
