Youtube video is using original video file's name?

So I uploaded a video to Youtube this morning. The original file's name was %26quot;Final Version%26quot;. The Youtube video's name I changed to %26quot;Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith Fan Trailer%26quot;. However, even though when watching the video, the changed name is the title, the search results for the video (if you search my username on Youtube, rpvee), has its name as %26quot;Final Version%26quot;. How do I have the search result's name changed? People need to find my video!



Thanks!Youtube video is using original video file's name?YouTube %26quot;search results%26quot; only get updated every 6 hours

(sometimes 12, 18 or 24 hours), thus there are 4 strange

things that frequently happen between updates:



1 -- your recently-uploaded video is %26quot;live%26quot; and %26quot;public%26quot; yet

it still doesn't show up within search results -- even when

you type in your username and full video title.



2 -- your recently-uploaded video is indeed there, but it is

the %26quot;raw%26quot; filename which mysteriously appears alongside

the thumbnail. (Sometimes, there's no title at all.)



3 -- if you very recently edited your video title, description

and/or tags, it's those previous elements which still show

up in search results.



4 -- the %26quot;view count%26quot; shown in the search results is much

less than the actual %26quot;view count%26quot; that is shown below the

video when it's played.



If you notice any of these peculiarities, things will usually

correct or update themselves within 6, 12, 18 or 24 hours.

Sometimes it takes 48. (Holy cow!)
