How do I convert this

[A GUY]

So, I edited this video for youtube, but when it finishes out, it says its a .lnk
I don't know if this is a stupid question, but how do I make it into a regular video file?

Simple.

The LNK file type is primarily associated with 'Windows' by Microsoft Corporation. A shortcut file is a pointer to an .EXE file somewhere on your system. When you click on the shortcut it's like clicking on the .EXE file and the associated program should start and run.

Basically it is a shortcut. The real video should be elsewhere.

A .lnk is a shortcut extension...

If you right click on it and go to properties, under "target" there should be the file it references.

Or just right click it and click "Open file location".

Or just right click it and click "Open file location".

Not in XP, for example.

Okay then.
You have all that you need to find your video now.
Good luck.

But, I don't understand, what exactly do I do?

Either one, then you'll find your video.
The .lnk isn't your video. Its a shortcut.

OREither one, then you'll find your video.

What should I put in the Target box?

What should I put in the Target box?

No!!!!
Take what's in the target box and navigate to that in your PC.
Then you'll find the video you made.

What should I put in the Target box?

Nothing. Right click the .lnk file and select "Open file location". That will open the folder with the actual video.

As I said, 'or that'.
