Automated workflow to export from FCP to Compressor and automatically upload to youtube

I am looking for instructions or a tutorial that explains how to send to Compressor from FCPX, and then automatically upload to YouTube.


Thanks in advance,

Thanks for the response Luis. I used to export directly from FCP but like sending it to compressor so the video can be processed in the background. This allows me to close the library and open another library and so I can continue to edit. More than that I want to export and upload to youtube so I can do that right before I go to bed and not have to manually upload to youyube after the video is exported. .


Here is an article that I saw that suggested it's possible but could not figure out how to make it work.

Depending on how comfortable you are on the command line, here's an open source project that enables youtube uploads from the command line. Search GitHub for youtubeuploder from user porjo. I don't have any experience with it so YMMV. You might be able to write an automator script to call it after the export has completed.
