Uploading to Websites

Using the built-in upload wizard, you can send your photo mixes directly to a webpage from right inside of Morpheus Photo Mixer. You can upload directly to Morpheus Galleries, YouTube, or Photobucket.

Morpheus Galleries supports anonymous uploading so you don't even need to create an account anywhere, as well as buttons on the webpage created for your photo mixes to quickly post your photo mix onto your favorite blog such as MySpace or Facebook.

The upload wizard can also save your username and password for each website so that you can quickly upload multiple photo mixes each time. Usernames and passwords are optional for Morpheus Galleries, but are required for YouTube and Photobucket. Click the link at he bottom of the wizard if you wish to create an account at one of these sites.

On the second page of the wizard, you will select the type of file you want to create and upload to the website. Different websites support different formats, and some formats produce better results than others, depending on the websites.

You can also enter a short title for the photo mix on this page, which will be included with your upload.

Your photo mix must be rendered before it can be uploaded. Once you click Next on the second page of the wizard, the rendering process will begin automatically. When it is finished, you will see the third page of the wizard.

On the third page of the wizard, all you need to do is press the Upload Morph button when you are ready. Different websites may have different maximum file sizes, so the general recommendation is to keep your file no more than 2,000,000 bytes to ensure that it is not rejected after you upload it. If your photo mix is too large, you must decrease the size in the Timeline Options window or decrease the number of frames in the Morph Options window. If you are trying to send as an Animated GIF, try Flash SWF instead. If you are sending a compressed movie file, try a different codec or higher compression settings.

The bottom portion of the wizard lets you estimate how long it will take to upload your email. Larger file sizes will take longer to send, but having a faster upload speed on your internet connection will make the upload faster. It is important to know that typical residential Internet connections have much faster download speeds than they have upload speeds, by a factor of ten to twenty at times. If you do not know how fast your upload speed is, you can guess and pick different options as you watch the Elapsed time display when you upload your photo mix.

On the last page of the wizard, there are several different links to the webpage which is now hosting your photo mix. It is important to remember that some webpages, particularly YouTube, will not display your upload until it has been processed, which can take 30 minutes or more at times. The links shown on this page will work when YouTube makes your upload live, but may not work right away. You can always log into your YouTube account to verify your upload is there though. Morpheus Galleries uploads are always ready to be displayed instantly when your upload is complete.

The hyperlink at the top is a link which you can click to view the webpage of your upload directly, while the four boxes below are formatted for easy copy and paste with various other types of websites or instant messages. Simply click in the boxes to copy the entire contents to the clipboard.
