How to upload OnLive brag clips to YouTube
Posted by homestar4000 on June 4, 2011
NOTE: YOU’LL NEED A FACEBOOK ACCOUNT TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS
Recently, OnLive updated their service to add Facebook-integrated features. Such as posting your brag clips to your wall, launching OnLive through Facebook, and automatic wall posts to your profile that warn people that you are playing a game in OnLive. I was playing around with the brag clip uploading feature, and that gave me the idea to rip (download) the video from Facebook and upload it to YouTube. I’ve made this tutorial to show you how I upload my OnLive brag clips to YouTube. Hopefully this will help you upload your brag clips to YouTube by doing this technique instead of recording OnLive through FRAPS.
Before you start, make sure you have connected your Facebook account with your OnLive account. You will not be able to do the Facebook features without an account connection. If you don’t have a Facebook account, create one here: http://www.facebook.com/r.php (Don’t worry it’s quick, easy, and free)
Step 1:
Launch OnLive and go to your profile.
Step 2:
As you are in your profile, go to the Brag Clips tab and click on View All.
Step 3:
Choose whatever brag clip you want.
Step 4:
There should be a Share button that has the Facebook and OnLive logo, click on it.
When you click on it, a pop-up should appear, giving you the option to share your brag clip on either Facebook or OnLive, use Facebook.
Step 5:
OnLive should give you the option, “Don’t Post” and “Post”. Click on “Post” and wait for 3 minutes or so for the brag clip to upload to Facebook. You don’t have to add a message if you don’t want the brag clip on your Facebook account.
Step 6:
Go to your Facebook profile and check if the brag clip has finished uploading, if you see the wall post of your brag clip, go to the video link (OnLive: “<game name>” Brag Clip video [HD]). Remove the wall post if you want to.
Step 7:
Use whatever video downloader you have on your internet browser (I am using FlashGot for Firefox) to rip (download) the video from Facebook.
Once it’s finished downloading, you should see it in whatever directory you wanted to put it in. Now you can delete the brag clip from Facebook if you want.
Step 8:
As you now have the .mp4 of the brag clip that was uploaded through Facebook, just simply upload the video through YouTube (or any other video-sharing site). You can remove the OnLive ad that is shown in the end of the brag clip through a video editor if you want.
My example:
Now that you’ve learned how to upload an OnLive brag clip to YouTube, you can use this technique for now if you are comfortable with it. Feel free to post any comments if they are either criticism (constructive please lol) or a need of help, you can also post your comments in my OnLiveFans thread. I’m still waiting for a YouTube uploading feature OnLive….
