Hang in there! Try to bear with it. I know when some folks experience issues like that they do still stick to their more traditional media for now, simply embedding their YouTube upload into a Steem post, possibly with a little added text commentary to spruce it up a bit. I have no doubt it will grow more reliable in time. I don't do much video content, but I know I've always had trouble uploading to dTube using Safari... I think Firefox may have given me the best results normally. Just a minor suggestion to try other browsers that you may have already tried!
