Trouble with YouTube

I haven’t used it before except to view other people’s stuff of course. I had a lot of trouble getting an mp4 file to upload see page 03:After Effects Alphabet. I tried other file formats but most of them wouldn’t upload at all despite their file types being listed by YouTube as being OK for video. The mp4 took ages, hours, to be ‘cleared’ by them – I don’t know what they do to the files once they’re uploaded but it must be v v v complicated…
If anyone knows any tips for getting videos to upload more easily, please let me know.

I would recommend uploading to the site Vimeo instead, if only because it is so much more elegant, and more popular with arty/filmy people so is a good space to share your stuff if you aren’t a fan of youtube.
