How do I create and upload a video to help sell my stock? – Autotrader UK

Using a smartphone is the easiest way to create a video to advertise your car.

Important: Video isn't included in the Franchise Starter package.

How to upload your video to YouTube:

Firstly, create a Google account
Sign in to YouTube using your new Google account details
Before you can upload a video, you need to create a channel
Select the 'Upload' button and choose your file. Make sure you select the public video option.

This will then create a YouTube link for your video.

Good to know: We don't support YouTube Shorts. Your video's aspect ratio will need to be 16:9.

Location, location, location: Make sure the location you pick for the video is free of distractions and clutter. The vehicle should be the focus.
Stay consistent: It's good practice to use the same location for every video.
Use a neutral backdrop: Make sure the vehicle has a neutral area of the location behind it when in the front three-quarters position. This is to make sure the vehicle is the focus.
Make it look its best: Make sure that both the exterior and interior of the vehicle are clean. The vehicle should be in a suitable condition with no visible signs of damage. Remove all pricing signs, paper mats and any other distracting items
Inside the vehicle: Make sure the steering wheel and seats are straight, all air vents are facing the same way and any screens are switched on. Avoid displaying local radio station settings on the screen. Best practice is to display the same screen setting for every vehicle
Avoid reflections: Ensure all windows are down. This will enable the camera to capture interior detail during the video walkaround and also prevent any reflections of you in the glass
Keep the wheels aligned: Straighten the front wheels – if including a view of an alloy, the image on screen should look the same as a still image of the alloy
