How do i get a video that i uploaded onto youtube to be proccessed?

Question

i just uploaded a video onto youtube and it said it was completed and i went to go watch it but it said that the video was not yet proccessed. what does that mean?

Answer 1

just means it's still working.  depending on the length of your video and how busy other people are uploading, can take a bit of time. it should definitely be available within an hour if it's only 9 minutes long.

Answer 2

This is the official definition given by YouTube (look at YouTube's glossary):

Processing Time - The time it takes a video, once uploaded to the site, to be fully entered into the YouTube system with all associated video information and representative thumbnails. Processing time is not to be confused with Uploading Time which is the time it takes for a video to upload from a user's computer to the YouTube servers. Videos will be available for playback soon after uploading even while they are unprocessed, but they will not show up in "Search" nor will they show all the associated information for the video until they are fully processed.
