3.  Export Quicktime conversion, mpeg4, aac.  The video must be exported to your folder, uploaded to youtube, then embedded properly in your Blogger page (Title the blog post "Final"). You also must take a screenshot (in your finder) of the project folder to show all the proper files are in it (hold command + shift + 4 and the photo will appear on the desktop).  This will also be uploaded in the same blog post as the video, click the image upload icon and find your screenshot file on the desktop.   Email the direct link to the blog post (make sure you click on the blog title, then copy the direct url.)
