Best camera settings for youtube videos

What settings should I shoot video at in order to get the best youtube output?    My choices are 1920x1080-30; 1920x1080-24; 1280x720-60; 640x480-60; crop-640-60
I'm wondering if it's better to compress a high quaility video, or can I shoot at low quality and get the same results?
I have a Canon 60D and CS4 master collection with Premiere Pro and Encore.

Use the preset under H.264 and set the framerate the same as your footage.
Do a little experimenting, you dont have to upload the whole movie, couple of minutes is enough.
HD footage can be upload as HD so why go for low.

  • For my power shot S5IS, best camera settings for 4 X 6 prints?

    for my power shot S5IS, best camera settings for 4 X 6 prints? I would like to have the best setting so when i print out the photos,i do not need to crop or trim. It is close, but i feel it can be better.

    The bad news is that you can't do anything in camera to get that result. The good news is that once you understand the possibilities you'll appreciate being able to control how your prints get framed (cropped). Your camera produces images in a 3:4 ratio while a 4 X 6 is a 2:3 ratio so if you don't know in advance that you need to crop some from the top, bottom, or both to make your image fit the 2:3 ratio & frame too tightly when taking the photo you're in trouble. Learn to shoot in a way that allows cropping to match common print sizes, and find a simple editing program to crop in computer. This should be standard practice because even though you may want a 4 X 6 now down the road you might want a 5 X 7 so keep your options open. 
    If you don't have an editing program that easily does this & you're on a PC download Picasa which is an excellent program for this & it's free. Once you have it running select one of your existing photos, select "crop" from the menues on the first tab & then play around with the different options Picasa has built in to see the effects to your image. NOTE that it won't throw away the data outside the crop box even though it may look like it has. You always have the option to "undo crop". Once you get a result you like you "export"  & create a new file cropped as seen on screen WITHOUT modifying the original file.

  • Best export settings for HD video playback on computer?

    I have shot my video on 1080p witha DSLR and edited it in premiere pro. I exported the video in .mp4 format.
    Now i imported the video in after effects and added loads of animation. I want to export it to the best quality for playback ON COMPUTER ONLY. Which is the best export settings for this purpose.
    I rendered it in .avi and my 12 minute video had a size of 55GB after render and did not play smoothly in the computer.. PLEASE HELP WITH THE BEST SETTINGS for the above purpose.

    You messed up. You should NOT have rendered MP4 out of Premiere to use in AE. You're adding compression and quality loss in between stages. BAD video person!
    The easiest thing to do would be to import your Premiere project in AE. That way it can use the original footage too. If, for some reason, you can't do that, you should render a lossless file out of Premiere. Speaking of lossless files, that's what you rendered out of AE. This page explains your large AE file issue.
    Anyway, take that large file you render out of AE into the Adobe Media Encoder and render out your final compressed file. Either H.264 or WMV should work well for playback.

  • Best export settings for HD video to DVD

    hello, I now use premier pro cs5, from cs4 on my mac, love it, but I shoot with a cannon XL H1s HD video, my questiion is when viewing video from camera or on the screen in cs5, perfect hd picture, but when I export to DVD, i see in the media encoder if I choose mpeg2-DVD it goes output to 720x480, how do I export to dvd for the best HD seetings for DVD to get a HD playback on the DVD, now I see an OK video on the TV playback, but not the same as the original recording, can anyone help,, thanks in advance for any help.....

    I found (via a friend who is experienced in Pr & En) that it all comes down to the export/authoring settings.
    In Pr, my export settings needed to be adjusted as follows:
    Format: MPEG2-DVD
    Preset: PAL Progressive Widescreen High Quality
    Selected 'DVD' in the Basic Settings section of the
    Multiplexer tab (this creates a single mpeg file rather than a m2v file which has a separate video and audio file)
    Selected the highest possible quality (5) in the Basic Video Settings section of the Video tab, changed the TV Standard to PAL (to suit Australian TVs) and then
    Set the minimum/target/maximum bitrate settings to 8Mbps (when I set it at 9Mbps, the final file had too high a bitrate for DVD)
    In the Audio tab, I selected PCM as the audio type.
    I also ensured that the Use Maximum Render Quality checkbox was ticked at the bottom of the export settings window.
    Then I exported.
    Once encoding was complete I opened Encore, started a new project, selected DVD as the authoring mode and PAL as the Television Standard within the Basic settings for the new project. I then imported the final mpeg file as a timeline into Encore, set all the appropriate first play/title button/end play functions as necessary, then I opened the Edit Quality Presets window from the File menu and made the following settings;
    Format: MPEG2-DVD
    Presets: PAL DV High quality 8Mb CBR 1 Pass
    Basic Video Settings - Quality: set to maximum (5)
    Basic Video Settings - Field Order: None (Progressive)
    Basic Video Settings - Pixel Aspect Ratio: Widescreen 16:9
    Basic Video Settings - Bitrate Settings - Bitrate [Mbps]: set to maximum (9)
    Basic Audio Settings - Audio Format Settings: Audio Format: PCM
    click OK
    Then I authored the DVD and was quite pleased with the result. Still not quite to the quality I was hoping for (i.e. the quality of a DVD movie), but still a significant improvement on my initial attempts using default Pr & En settings.
    Hope it helps

  • Best Share Settings for YouTube

    Hi, Could someone tell me what the best Imovie HD6 exporting settings are for uploading to YouTube? I'm trying to get the best quality image for my 8 minute video but still be able to upload under 100meg.
    I've read on the YouTube site that MPEG-4 at 30fps & 640x480 is the best setting for the best quality results. But when I do that I still end up with a rather pixalated video. I've tried using the standard setting of Web Streaming (12fps, 320x240) but that's also rather pixalated.
    Thanks for any thoughts.

    Hi Steve
    I don't often drop into Discussions these days as the resident experts are excellent but in the past I have had disappointing results with mpeg4 to YouTube until I used Matt's own QT setting settings.
    I have and use Flash and on Sunday I tried encoding and uploading my YouTube with Flash. I used the suggested settings and it looked awful! Flash likes to encode from uncompressed footage and I have learned your footage has to be shot with Flash in mind. I then uploaded the same item using Matt's settings and it really looked passable. I could play them side by side. I am not a perfectionist and as long as my videos look OK I am happy.
    Now YouTube is allowing a larger upload size I push the quality higher than Matt's and I keep the frame rate at exactly half. I use Pal so it is 12 but for NTSC it is 15. You can be pedantic and make it exactly half the NTSC frame rate which number escapes me at the moment as I never use it. This is best.
    Remember to deinterlace but you know that.
    So here they are - credit and thanks to Matt.
    'I have found that if you are using "special effects" on your movies they do not reflect very well on you tube- If you make a clean movie with no effects than that comes out better. I use Imovie to Qtime export to my own settings for "movie" or .mov. the settings are:
    Compression: H.264
    Frame Rate: 12 fps(smaller file size)
    Key Frame: AUTO
    Quality: Medium ( again, smaller file size)
    Encoding: Best Quality
    Data Rate: AUTO
    Size: 320x240
    Sound ACC-48 khz( you can change this , BUT my Videos are mostly MUSIC- so this sounds better, If your is only the true sound of what you have recorded, like people talking etc- then you can change to lower settings, thus giving you a smaller file size)
    I have found that the key to you tube is
    1) if you use certain GEE THREE or any other effects, NOT ALL MIND YOU- that your movie will look crapy.
    2) if you use higher settings than i have stated here you file will be large(hopefully under YOUTUBES 100 mb limit), BUT if your file is very large the movie will stutter, or stop during playback- and other viewers on YOUTUBE probably will move on to the next video of choice and thus all your hard work will go unseen.
    So i use these settings keep the effects to a minimum and they seem to work fine-hope this helps any one,
    matt
    Lastly I do use effects sometimes so I make a clean copy of my iMovie, that is I export it to QT then I import it back into a new iMovie project so it is just one clip. This can fool YouTube. I made a YouTube using a slideshow from iPhoto
    and I used random transitions expecting the worst and to my surprise it looked quite good.
    If you want to look you can go see DIYTVMovies My Secret Garden

    which is the director's commentary to show how I did it. Now again this is not Hollywood quality but for a beginner it is acceptable. I like the sound quality iMovie gives. The other version for my friends had sound edited on Final Cut which was compressed and not as good.
    If anyone has better settings let me know.

  • Best  compressor settings for web videos shot on canon 7d?

    Hello,
    I've started shooting video on the Canon 7d.  I usually compress my videos for youtube as MP4 at 300 Kbps.  However my last video had a presenter with background music track added.  When I did my first export to compressor without the music background all the audio of the presenter was perfect.  When I added a soundtrack in the background the presenter's voice was distorted, sounding like a Dalek!
    I got better results with less distortion when I re compressed the video as MP4 800 kbps.  Can anyone please recommend better settings that would give much superior sound and picture with zero distortion?
    Much appreciated.
    thanks

  • Best export settings for SVHS video from Premiere Elements 12

    Hi
    when I view my SVHS video on screen via premiere elements 12 the quality looks very good. However, when I edit the video and save, the quality is quite poor.
    I need to know what is the best settings to save my video. Can anyone point me in the right direction. Thank you Tom

    I have some questions to ask and some suggestions to make for your consideration after you have concluded your discussions with SG.
    1. Am I assuming correctly that you used a firewire connection for your ADVC-55 capture? And, if so, what did you capture into - Premiere Elements 12 Capture Windows to give you DV AVI Type 2? In the gspot readout (to the left of the dialog), what does it say about the Container.
    2. Assuming that you have DV AVI Type 2 (4:3) files saved to your computer hard drive, have you tried
    For DVD-VIDEO PAL Standard Format on DVD disc
    a. Open Premiere Elements 12 new project to Expert workspace, File Menu/New/Project and Change Settings....Change project preset to PAL DV Standard....before leaving that area, making sure you have a check mark next to "Force Selected Project Setting on This Project".
    b. Then back in the Premiere Elements 12 workspace, Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets from where you drag you DV AVI to the Timeline.
    c. After edits and maybe menu application,
    Publish+Share/Disc/DVD burn to disc
    check mark next to "Fit Content to Available Space"
    Preset = PAL Dolby DVD
    Before hitting Burn in the burn dialog, note what the readings are in the burn dialog for Space Required and Bitrate. If the Bitrate is 8.00 Mbps at that point, that is good. More on that later.
    For Export To File (AVCHD.mp4)
    If you want to export, your Timeline to a file saved to the computer hard drive, please consider
    Publish+Share
    Computer
    AVCHD
    MP4 - PAL DV Standard
    If your details are other than that which I assumed, please let us know.
    We will be watching for further discussions and results.
    Thank you.

  • Best settings for YouTube video?

    I've just finished editing my first video in iMovie and would like to export it to upload to YouTube. The YouTube site asks for MPEG4 at 320x240 pixels, 30fps, with MP3 audio. But what about all the other settings in the advanced export settings? Does anyone know what they should be for best results?
    Thanks in advance.

    This, from Karsten Schlülter (YouTuber):
    I recommend in the expert settings:
    mpeg4 as comprossor
    in the options:
    320x240 (youtube's "native" res)
    30 fps (for fast action), 15 fps (to generate smaller files for longer movies)
    the bitrate slider...- 500kB/sec is an excellent quality for such res (and generates laaarge files), but the conversion at youtube adds a lot of artfifacts...

  • Best export settings for online video

    Hi there,
    Im looking for some advice on the best way of exporting a sequence, keeping very high quality of the sequence, but not taking an age to upload them.
    i have tried various settings but i seem to be having problems with either the file size being two big or the quality of my titles and logos in the video are grainy and low quality.
    please advise as soon as possible!
    Thank you!

    Hi, Thanks,
    It has a lot of magic bullet, and misfire vignette throughout, also snow using trap code particular in after effects, (the outdoor shots are imported after effects aep) also some speed change in places and a number of adjustment layers with various effects (blurs etc). So I guess pretty 'effect heavy'
    But the exported video looks absolutely beautiful from a quality point of view on my pc, and I assumed once exported these effects are completely embedded in the file and so have no bearing if you we're to re encode it (maybe I'm wrong)
    Bizarrely, I've checked it again this morning, and it looks much better!? Maybe YouTube takes a while to finish final encoding or something, but offers a lower res preview until complete?
    Also having done some reading, I think maybe 720p is a better option rather than 1080 as this is ultimately what youtube encodes to (as far as I'm aware)
    Really disappointed to have such an 'HD' video on my pc and pixelated video on YouTube!
    I've seen some absolutely beautiful videos on YouTube over the years ( from a quality point of view) so it must be possible!
    Thanks so much for your help, ill upload an example shortly

  • Best sequence settings for imported video

    I created a simple screencast of a powerpoint slideshow with another piece of software, and exported it as .mov (H264). The screencast was created at 25 FPS with no audio.
    When I import it to Premiere CS5, the video quality is pretty bad. I can't read someo the smaller letters on the slides, and when the slides are static, the graphics on them pulsate. Bottom line is, I need the quality to be better.
    I think the problem might be that I am not matching my sequence settings to fit the imported file. When I create a new sequence, there are dozens of different presets, and I have no idea which one is the best one.
    The reason I want import to Premiere is so I can add audio...etc., and export, and upload to Youtube, burn to cd...etc. But, I want the quality to be good, and it is quite simply...terrible.
    Any help would appreciated.

  • Best exporting settings for Youtube?

    I have finished my movie and I don't know which settings would be best for uploading into YouTube as HD.
    The video in my movie is shot in AVCHD 1920 x1080.
    I tried looking up on YouTube for documents (and on user-made videos) the best settings to choose, but whatever information I find is either incorrect or outdated.
    Can you help me?
    - Using Adobe Premiere Pro CS 4

    "MP4 is H.264. Now, there are many  H.264 CODEC's. Many have had better results for Lead's, or  MainConcept's, over Apple's. Which one do you have instaled.
    Also,  YouTube changes the "rules" quite often. One needs to check with them.  Also, as Curt points out, it takes them a bit to encode to their  settings du jour.
    Good luck,
    Hunt"
    You're right, I looked at something else and that confused me and probably confused you (the helpers) even more, so sorry!
    Which one do you have instaled.
    - I'm not sure what you're asking, but I don't think it matters anymore.
    Also,  YouTube changes the "rules" quite often. One needs to check with them.  Also, as Curt points out, it takes them a bit to encode to their  settings du jour.
    - Yes YouTube changes their rules often, but I can't find YouTube's properly organized specifications and that is why I'm having even more trouble, but thank you so much.
    You really do need a lot of help Ryan!
    You should have edited your project  by matching what you shot with a matching preset.
    What you  have done ...
    I did match the preset, what I meant was when I'm exporting it THEN I changed it...
    The Youtube encode  preset as  advised is correct.  You will find it in the H264 encode options.
    You will  need to fix your timeline first.
    I think you got confused by my diction, but you still helped me so THANK YOU! :]
    You are making it too hard.
    You are  starting with HD Widescreen video.  I assume you are editing it in an  AVCHD sequence to match.
    So; export using ame; choose X.264 as the format  and "Youtube widescreen hd" as the preset.   Thats it.  Dont mess with  anything else.
    Simple and clear, thank you.
    Should I change the width x height, or keep it as 1280 x 720 (which is the preset under H.264 - Youtube Widescreen HD)?

  • Best iMovie settings for YouTube Upload and HD Playback

    Hello, I've tried using the various online suggestions for obtaining the very highest possible quality playback of my HD videos when I upload them to YouTube and...frankly...have not noticed any difference between using simply the 1080 export option and then uploading them into YouTube.
    Well, of course, the fact that going through the QuickTime export option takes a lot more time and creates a file that is huge.
    So, what is the consensus?
    Is shooting HD video on a HD camera and then importing and exporting from iMovie's automated settings really resulting in appreciably lower quality in YouTube HD playback?
    Would appreciate any thoughts on this.

    There are YouTube presets in Adobe Media Encoder. Just choose H.264 as the format and then choose one of the YouTube presets.

  • What are the best export settings for a HD video in Premier Pro CS4?

    Hi!
       I've been having so much trouble with this issue and it's something that continually frustrates my boss. I have a HD video the settings for it are
    FPS 23.98
    1920 x 1080, then a few lines down it says 1408 x 792
    16 bit,
    2 channels
    48000 Hz
       What should the settings be when I make a new sequence?
                 When I look at it in the window in Premiere Pro I have to contantly 'shrink' the image to fit the window, is that something I should be doing or does it indicate the sequence settings are incorrect?
    But more importantly what should the export settings be? I exported a 4 minute long video and the size was 1 GB, I know that's too big.
    I need to export it without loosing any quality and export another one that meets the Youtube and Vimeo limits on size.
    Vimeo is 500 MB per week, sometimes I upload 4 videos per week. I think Youtube you can only upload 500 MB at a time.
    I need to get smaller sizes with loosing the least amount of quality possible AND the best export settings for quality, so I guess I have 3 separate questions-
    What are the best sequence settings for HD video?
    What are the best export settings for HD without loosing any quality?
    What are the best export settings for the size to come out around 500 MB with loosing the least amount of quality possible?
    Thank You!

    On the above thread I used the 5th anwer, and it's going to take about 7 hours to export a 4 minute video :/

    It Stands for "Coder Decoder."
    Your format is like a container for your video file. Certain containers can hold certain codecs and not others. Other containers can hold other codecs. Sometimes different containers can hold the same codecs.
    This might be a bad analogy but I'll give it a try.
    A coffe cup (container) can hold pretty much any liquid you drink, where a red solo cup (container) won't hold scolding water. So, the coffe cup would be your container of choice most likely because it has the most options for liquids (codecs). But, you might want a red solo cup for just a single crappy beer at a party (a moderate quality streaming video on the web). In that case, you don't need all the optoins of another container.
    In Premiere Pro CC H.264 is a Container and the Codec in one option. This has been streamlined for web distrobution of video to be played in browsers without things like Flash or special players.
    Were as if you choose the QuickTime Container there are over 40 codec optoins (at least on my machine with additinal ones installed) but you may run into an issue where your browser doesn't support QuickTime playback.
    I would say that your container is for compatability with players and your codec is taken into consideration when looking at the quality of the compression.
    Yesteraday I wrote a blog entery on Exporting from Premiere Pro and found that the MPEG-4 codec inside of the QuickTime container gave me much richer colors than the H.264 container/codec option.
    I posted the link before but here it is:
