Tried your suggestions , did not resolve the problem, after reading more forum posts, I'm not the only one having this "basic stuff" problem. Manual upload to YouTube, does not work as well.
I don't know what steps you tried, so I don't know why they didn't work for you. I've been manually uploading my clips to YT since 2007, so I assure you that the steps work, even with the changes that have recently broken the automatic upload being discussed here.
The basic stuff comment was regarding producing a video, and that the PDS/project file isn't playable media.
Before the update change at YT, you still had to produce the video in PowerDirector, only you would have used the Online choices, which would look something like this PD14 image:
Now, the only thing you have to change is to click on the
Standard 2D tab and use this screen:
Now pick a profile that matches your source clips' resolution, like
MPEG-4 1920x1080/30p (16Mbps) or
MPEG-4 4K 3840x2160/30p (50Mbps), and produce. Please notice where the finished video will be saved, which is shown in this box:
When the video is finished, click on this icon when you're signed in to YT:
Then click on
Upload video and drag and drop the .MP4 video there, or click on the
SELECT FILE box and navigate to the folder where your finished video is stored.
