I’ve been uploading some short videos to YouTube and since yesterday, they aren’t showing up. No indication why. Anyone have any idea what is going on?

Don’t know about uploading (never tried), but I just got a frozen (mostly black) screen while the audio played.  
This was triggered on moving the little dot BACKWARDS - it had just played perfectly.

I’ve been trying to upload an extremely small vid (like, about 15 seconds worth) since yesterday and, yes, nothing doing. Something’s definitely up.

It appears that it’s either fixed, or I can’t upload thru IMovie any more. I did three uploads today directly from YouTube’s site and they all worked.
