This capstone unit guides students through finalizing, exporting, publishing, and promoting gameplay videos and channel content. Building on production and editing skills from earlier units, students will prepare YouTube-ready files, manage uploads across tools (HitFilm, iMovie, Filmora), configure YouTube Studio, and apply strategies to grow views and engagement.
