How to Upload SWF to YouTube

Let's say, you downloaded a funny SWF movie from the webpage, or receive a Flash SWF photo slideshow which records your happy moment with friends/families from others. And you happened to have the thought to upload the SWF to YouTube for sharing with more people, how would you do that?

"I really want to upload this animation I've been working on, but it annoys me to see YouTube won't accept it."
"I'd like to upload a clip I created with Flash to YouTube. I tried loading but failed to load either the SWF or the FLA file. Anyone knows how to do that?"


How to Upload SWF to YouTube
There is barrier when trying to upload SWF to YouTube, because .swf is not an acceptable format by many online video sharing sites, like YouTube, MySpace, Vimeo, etc. YouTube accepts videos uploaded in most container formats, like MP4, FLV, 3GP, MPEG-4, MOV, etc. The default video stream is encoded in H.264/MPEG-4 format, with stereo AAC audio.

So, for uploading SWF to YouTube, you need a SWF converter to convert the SWF movie to one of the video formats above first. With Doremisoft SWF Converters, this job can be done easily. The program has two different versions for Windows and Mac users separately, named SWF Converter and SWF Converter for Mac. The functions are the same with slightly different UI. You can choose to download and install one according to your operating system.

First, import the SWF file into this program by clicking "Select File" button

add swf file

Second, choose the output format as MP4, FLV, 3GP MPEG-4 or MOV in the drop-down list of "Profile"

set output format

At last, click "Next" then "Start" button to begin the conversion
