How to Upload Your OnCentreline Dressage Test to YouTube: A Step-by-Step Guide

Once you've ridden your brilliant test, how do you get it to us for judging? It's simpler than you think! YouTube is your secret weapon for sharing your performance seamlessly.

This step-by-step guide will walk you through exactly how to upload your OnCentreline Dressage test to YouTube, ensuring your video is perfectly prepped for our judges.

1. Create a Google Account (If You Don't Have One):

   • If you already have a Gmail address, you already have a Google account. You can use that.

   • If not, go to Create a Google Account and follow the instructions.

2. Go to YouTube:

   • Open your web browser and go to YouTube.

   • Sign in with your Google Account.

3. Upload Your Video:

   • In the top-right corner of the YouTube page, click the Create icon (it looks like a video camera with a plus sign).

   • Select Upload video.

4. Select Your Video File:

   • You'll be taken to a new page where you can upload your video.

   • You can either drag and drop your video file into the designated area or click Select files to browse your computer.

5. Video Details (Very Important for OnCentreline Submissions!):

   • Title: Use a clear and consistent title format. Include your name, the test name, and your horse's name. Example: [Your Name] - [Test Name] - [Horse's Name]

     • Example: Jane Doe - Prelim 1.2 - Awesome Blossom

   • Description: This is crucial! Include the following information:

     • Your name

     • Your horse's name

     • The test name (e.g., Prelim 1.2)

     • The date of the test

   • Thumbnail: You can choose an automatically generated thumbnail or upload a custom one. A clear thumbnail of you and your horse is ideal.

   • Playlist: You don't need to add it to a playlist unless you want to.

6. Visibility (Crucial for OnCentreline):

   • You have three options:

     • Public: Anyone can see your video.

     • Unlisted: Anyone with the link can see your video. This is usually the best option for OnCentreline submissions.

     • Private: Only you can see your video (do NOT select this option as we will not be able to view it!)

   • Select 'Unlisted'. This ensures that only people with the link (i.e., the judges) can view your test.

7. Audience:

   • Select "No, it's not made for kids."

8. Video Elements (Optional):

   • You can add end screens or cards, but these aren't necessary for OnCentreline submissions.

9. Checks:

   • YouTube will check your video for any copyright issues.

10. Save and Publish:

    • Click Save to finish uploading.

    • YouTube will give you a video link. Copy this link! This is the link you will submit to OnCentreline Dressage.

11. Submitting Your Link:

    • When you enter via www.nominate.com.au there will be an option for you to paste the link to your YouTube video.
