When I render a song to upload to my Youtube.com studio, it turns out to be an AVI file. I have asked ChatPG and Copilot (AI on MS Edge browser) how to do this. Both give answers but none actually tells how, or if, it can be done. Here is an example from ChatPG:
To render your file for uploading to YouTube as a WAV or MP3 file, you can follow these steps:
1. Press the [Save As] button and choose "Save as Video" from the pulldown menu. (Chapter 6: Making Songs)
2. At the top left corner, choose the item (Chord Sheet or Notation track) to include in the video.
3. Enable "Custom dimensions" if you want to choose the width and height of the video. If this is disabled, the video dimensions will match the Chord Sheet as it appears.
4. Select a specific Codec to encode the video. If "Auto" is selected, Band-in-a-Box will choose a compatible codec.
5. If "Include Title" is enabled, the video of the Chord Sheet will have a black bar at the top containing the title shown below.
6. Click on the [OK - Render Video] button to start rendering the video. The video will continue to render unless you press the [Cancel Rendering] button. When the rendering is done, a message will show and you will be able to press the [Upload to YouTube] or [Show Video File].
By following these steps, you can render your file for uploading to YouTube as a WAV or MP3 file.
Maybe I don't need anything other than AVI. Does anybody have an opinion on this?
One of the AI's told me to convert the AVI to whatever I wanted. Am I good on Youtube.com studio with AVI?
Thank you for jumping in. I thought nobody would offer any help.
What you recommend is exactly the way I render songs and upload them to Youtube.com. There is no mechanism on that page that allows for the selection of a different file ending - WAV, MP3, etc. I seem to be stuck with AVI, and I don't even know if that is bad or not.
ChatPG and nobody on here seems to have a way to do it. Thank you for dropping in.
YouTube is a visual or video medium so it only accepts visual (video) files. AVI is one visual file format and seems to be the video file format of choice for Band-in-a-Box. As far as I know AVI is the only visual file format Band-in-a-Box exports. MP3 and WAV are audio file formats so I suspect YouTube will reject them if you try to upload an audio file.
Is there a reason you want to use a video file format other than AVI? There are utility programs that can convert between video formats. +++ HERE +++ is a link to a recent article discussing video convertor utility programs.
Thanks for your last. Because of it, I am now going to mark this post as "RESOLVED."
i did not know that AVI was the only available file that BIAB used and that it is probably the best. I also didn't know that Youtube.com/studio would probably reject the other formats. I am very poor with all the technical things it takes to use BIAB properly and well.

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
