The YouTube Uploader is a Python 2 script designed to simplify the process of uploading machine learning model output videos, particularly those generated in Google Colab, directly to YouTube using the YouTube API v3. This tool aims to streamline data-heavy operations, such as sharing computer vision project results.

YouTube Developer Account/Console: Create an account and set up a project at YouTube Developer Console.
YouTube API v3 Enabled: Enable the YouTube API v3 for your project in the Developer Console.
Client ID/Secret Key: Generate a Client ID and Secret Key for authentication.
The script will automatically install the required dependencies. No manual installation is needed.

# Clone the repository
!git clone https://github.com/agent87/youtube_uploader.git
# Change into the project directory
!cd youtube_uploader
# Setup the project
