Additional Creator Tools from YouTube
As part of our ongoing goal to foster the creation of great video content, we are announcing the release of three new features we hope will empower you to become even more imaginative with your video production.
1. Convert your 2D videos into 3D with a single click. (beta!)
Creating 3D videos was pretty tough before. You had to set up two cameras, combine the footage from each, and use special software to make the effect look just right. Today we're launching 2D to 3D conversion. Once you've uploaded your 2D videos to YouTube, you can convert them to 3D with the click of a button. Converted videos will be viewable by everyone in 3D. You'll still get best results with a 3D camera, but it's a great new way to let people enjoy your finest moments. You'll find this feature by selecting "Edit Info", then "3D Video" on a video you've uploaded. (Note, you'll still need glasses to watch on most devices.)
2. All verified users in good standing can now upload long-form videos.
YouTubers are some of the most innovative, entertaining and inspirational people in the world, and their creativity often needs more than the current upload limit of 15 minutes. Today, we’re improving upon our previous launch by enabling long uploads for users with a clean track record who complete an account verification and continue to follow the copyright rules set forth in our Community Guidelines. Check out some of the original full-length videos that can now shine on YouTube, such as student-film: “Spirit’s Revenge.”
.
To help you get those longer videos online, we also recently launched resumable uploads, which ensures that you won’t lose any of the minutes you’ve uploaded if your internet fails or your computer dies during the upload process. You can resume uploading right where you left off once you’re back online. (Note: Advanced uploader is no longer required to upload large files.)
3. Shoot, edit and share your videos easily with vlix and Magisto, now on youtube.com/create.
We’re adding two additional video creation platforms for you to make your videos even better: Vlix and Magisto. Vlix lets you spice up your videos by adding cool effects and text to the video intro and closing. Magisto takes your unedited video and automatically edits it into short, fun clips.
With so many tools at your fingertips, what are you waiting for? Get Ready...Set...Create!

This is awesome news regarding the unlimited uploads feature.
Wow! That's awesome!! Thank You :)
I'm excited about the 3D conversion!
However the Edit info page contains the following text "To change the 3D video settings, click on "Edit info" on the video page". I go to the video page and there's only an "Edit details" button. Help! I'm stuck in a loop! Is the beta not on the UK site?
Okay, but where can I verify my bloody account?
Well that's just wonderful--extending the limit but only for those of us in "good standing." So that's great if you have a brand new account and have been lucky enough to avoid copyright strikes. But how does that help users like me who have a single copyright strike from 2 years ago, which STILL HAS NOT EXPIRED. I was very excited last spring when YouTube announced that copyright strikes will automatically expire after 6-months, but I'm still waiting for this 2-year old strike to expire. Clearly YouTube lied to us, and I'm not happy. Fortunately, I happen to have a direct account dating back to 2006, so the time limit has never applied to me in any case, but I do miss the ability to upload unlisted and creative commons videos. Come on YouTube, what gives?
And while I'm at it, why doesn't YouTube come clean with users and admit that the ability to dispute Content ID matches is a joke, when copyright claimants are allowed to simply "confirm" their claims against your video and get it blocked again with no ability to appeal or even file a DMCA counter-notice, contrary to YouTube's stated policy?
I am getting really sick of YouTube saying one thing and doing another.
UGH, I HAVE NO STRIKES BUT I USED TO YEARS AGO . . . (THEY EXPIRED)
ALSO, HOW LONG DOES THE MESSAGE ARRIVE ? ? ?
Link to verify account?
I love seeing these new innovative features being added to YouTube! I am now going to start thinking up some good 3D video ideas! Nice to having the extended upload time! Now just have to make use of it!
Thanks for the updates! I am looking forward to utilizing the new added features. With a busy family schedule as mine it is great to see such handy tools available.
Appreciate your inforamtion. It is just too greeeeat!
Resumable uploads.
I recall back in 1990 choosing "Z-modem" as the download/upload protocol using a Hayes compatible 2400Bps modem on BBS's because it would resume the transfer of a file if it got interrupted. Then, as the WWW came around, it was as if such a technology never existed.. then just in the last few years as it SLOWLY made a comeback. I realize TCPIP and HTTP is a different protocol, but for crying out loud it took long enough for the technology to make a comeback.
I have linked my mobile, have no strikes or matches, been uploading since 2008, and even have monetization enabled on my account. Why do I not have the extra time enabled? Is it a glitch?
@Joe, resumable uploads do exist through Youtube's advanced uploader.
How do I access the 3d conversion tools? I don't see 'Edit Info', only 'Edit Details'.
Okay. I figured it out. You can't be using Cosmic Panda.
The "Strikes" rule is just a way for You Tube to get around copyright hassles, and try to curb the use by the community. We are not trying to make money on our video's, and it is really "fair use" as a citizen media service. Guess it's time to try and find another method for longer video's other than You Tube. Getting tired of the hassle, and now another rule change where we have no inputs as users.
si muy bien yotube
Not good enough... Can't afford to waste cash by giving mobile number of verify account. You may not have thought of it but: WHY NOT VERIFY BY EMAIL???
Great but how long is the max now?
Great news on the 2D to 3D conversion, but when I tried it, it doesn't support HTML5 which means I can't enjoy on any iOS devices. I watch 3D on YouTube from my Vuzix video glasses (no screen required!) which do all the conversion from SxS and show great big screen 3D virtually within the glasses. It's awesome! Now I want to convert some of my videos and show all my friends the 3D! I have done a few already, but they don't work (in 3D) on my iPhone.
When will this be extended to the iOS platforms?
