  • Best Settings for Youtube Upload?

    My source is an xvid avi file with the following attribudes:
    Frame Width: 624
    Frame Height: 352
    Data Rate: 1043kbps
    Total Bitrate: 1166kbps
    Frame Rate: 29 frames/sec
    All I am doing is trimming the clip and adding a credit screen on the end. What are the best settings to get the least resolution loss when uploading to YouTube? I also want the video to fill the whole screen, I was having problems with it adding horizontal bars as well, I do not want them I want it to stretch.
    I tried searching for this answer already, thanks for your help!!

    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 settings for Youtube videos using Camileo X200

    What is the best video settings for the x200 for youtube videos. 720p-30/ 720p-60/ 1080p-30 .
    Thanks

    Hi
    In my opinion the 720p-30 is good enough for Youtube.

  • Best Settings For YouTube and Vimeo

    When my camera's footage is uploaded to Final Cut Pro 7 the settings show as:
    Frame Size: HD (1440 x 1080) (16:9)
    Compressor: Apple Intermediate Codec
    When I send it to compressor I keep the settings the same, but when I try to upload to Youtube or Vimeo, the upload fails.
    To fix this problem I've compressed everything within the settings that Youtube specifies:
    H.264
    1280x720 resolution
    But the quality drops dramatically. I've noticed that some other videos on YouTube still maintain very high quality though and I'm wondering if I could do something differently or compress to different settings to get better quality.
    Thanks for the help.

    Sorry for all the questions, but where in the camera manual should I look to find info about the codec?
    It shoots HDV.
    Also not sure what you mean by AIC?
    Shorthand for Apple Intermediate Codec.
    When I first uploaded the footage I tried using final cut's "log and transfer" and also "log and capture," but couldn't get either to work.
    Log & transfer will not ever work (for this camera's particular footage). Log & Transfer is aimed specifically at data-based cameras that record to memory and/or hard drives like Panasonic P2 cameras, RED, Canon DSLR's, etc. Not your camera which records to tape.
    So, when you say Log and Capture didn't work, what do you mean? What happened? Nothing? Camera not recognized. Error messages?
    Does this, other thread, help at all?

  • 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 settings for Youtube - SD?

    A sort of related question I've had in he past.   What settings should I use when burning a file to upload a SD MPEG file to Youtube so that I don't lose resolution?   My video is converted VHS files.  (Using PE11)

    Buddycat
    Just something to think about until you and SG get together again.
    If you want to go 4:3 (no widescreen on SG's suggestion)
    Publish+Share
    Computer
    AVCHD
    with his preset = YouTube Widescreen SD
    but under the Advanced Button/Video Tab of that preset, change the frame width to 640 pixels and frame height to 480 pixels.

  • Best Settings for YouTube's HIgh Quality Video

    I see YouTube has a new "high quality" video option that uses H.264 video at 480 x 360. If I want to take full advantade of this format how should I build my videoo to upload? I assume I should use H.264, but Premiere doesn't have an option to do so at 480x360.

    After numerous trials and extensive searches on forums (with solutions way too complicated for me) this is my recipe.
    (After upgrading to PE 7 I hoped that PE would do the trick, but no.)
    1. Premiere Elements.
    Export ("Share") to harddisk, DV-AVI, 4:3 or Widescreen doesn't matter.
    2. Windows Movie Maker.
    Import this AVI-file. You won't need to change or edit anything.
    Just "publish" (to disk) in
    WMV-format, dvd-quality (4:3 size) PAL 3,0 M.
    3. You Tube.
    Upload to YouTube.
    Then wait (approx 10 min. per minute movietime) until the uploaded movie is released and online in high quality.
    Happy uploading!
    Max size is 100 Mb; but there are work arounds for that too.

  • Whats the best settings for exporting a three camera youtube video on a mac book pro

    I need help figureing out Whats the best settings for exporting a three camera youtube video on a mac book pro. I use 15 or 30 fps and aI cant figurwe it out [please help

    chucknoris501
    What version of Premiere Elements are you using on Mac?
    Export your Timeline content to a .mp4 file, using export settings which have been customized under the Advanced Button/Video Tab of the export's preset.
    See Publish+Share/Computer/AVCHD and .mp4 category. The exported file is then uploaded to YouTube at the YouTube web site.
    If you post the properties of your source video and project settings, I will suggest the settings for the Timeline content export to file saved to the computer
    hard drive for upload to YouTube at the YouTube web site.

  • Best settings for exporting crisp video/graphic from iMovie to YouTube?

    Hi, I am working on a video for a client and after viewing on YouTube they had some issues with the type not looking "crisp," and I'm not sure how to fix it, not sure if it's a YouTube thing or something I am doing wrong.
    I am working in iMovie 6/HD on OS 10.4.11. I do my "type slides" in Photoshop and import them into the iMovie as photos (JPGs). I know some text/titles can be done in iMovie but there is very little control I have over what goes where, so by making my type slides in Photoshop I have more creative control to do what I want. I have done tests and it doesn't seem to matter what resolution the Photoshop files are when they're imported, the results are always the same.
    If anyone has a better suggestion for doing the type slides I'd gladly welcome them, but I think what I really need to know is the following:
    What are the best expert settings to export my iMovie file as, so that when I upload to YouTube, the quality stays fairly crisp? Or does YouTube's compression just negate anything I can do on my end?
    I have googled and found settings recs on other sites and other boards and tried a bunch of them and my results aren't any better than my original effort.
    From another post on this board I discovered I could play with the Filters setting when exporting, and I have set that to Sharpen and also used the Brightness filter to lighten the video (it was a little dark). I uploaded to YouTube and I think it is a little better, but would still love the info if anyone has a guaranteed rec for correct settings for YouTube video from iMovie HD/6.

    Hello Brian,
    Have you tried de-interlacing before exporting?
    Sometimes, when I'm in a rush, I would expand the Canvas/Viewer (viewed at 100%), pick the clearest frame, and do a screen capture.
    For example, with the captured image (in Photoshop), I have a marquee preset at 640x480 (NTSC). I created an action to crop, resize to 720x480, then set the Pixel Aspect Ratio to NTSC.

  • Best PE7.0 export settings for Youtube HD, Vimeo or Smugmug?

    Hi all,
    I'm really new to video editing and I can't find any recommendations on the best Premiere Elements 7 export settings for Youtube HD, Vimeo or Smugmug. It seems like most of them want you to upload in 1280x720.
    My original source is 1920x1080 30p AVCHD from a Canon HF100. Obviously, I would like to keep it at the same frame rate. There doesn't appear to be a preset in PE7 (or a way at all) to output 1280x720 30 into an MPEG container with H.264 encoding. When I go into the advanced properties of a preset like "H.264 1920x1080i 30" or "MPEG2 1920x1080i 30" and choose 1280x720, I no longer have an option for 29.97 fps - the only options are 23.976 or 24 fps. It seems bad to change this, right?
    I see the preset for "HD 720p 30" which appears to be MPEG encoding of the video stream instead of H.264. This seemed to work OK, but I wasn't sure about it, because when I choose it I see in the description a line that says TV Standard: NTSC. A number of web sites indicate that H.264 is preferred, but I don't really understand why.
    I also found a way to do H.264 in a Quicktime container. This seemed a little suboptimal because you can't do variable bitrate. When I unselected the "select bitrate" checkbox, it seemed like a quality of 50 yielded a .mov file with a bit rate of 2.87Mb/s, and a quality of 100 yielded a .mov file with a bit rate of 26Mb/s. It is confusing to me how the quality setting affects the bitrate on the quicktime containers.
    I'm leaning towards using the "HD 720p 30" preset and working with the bit rate choices, but am open to comments. What do others think?
    And on a related question - assuming we choose the "HD 720p 30" preset as a starting point, given the 1GB file restriction at Youtube, it seems to make sense to choose a bitrate that allows both good quality and reasonable file size. I don't know much about whether VBR 1 pass, 2 pass or CBR would be best for this kind of online HD video. Google is a little unhelpful here: http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=132461
    This page (http://webvideotechniques.com/123/bigger-and-better-encoding-for-youtube-hd) seems to indicate aiming for a bitrate of 8Mbps with a minimum of 4Mbps, including 2 pass VBR.
    So, basically, I'm confused and a little overwhelmed. I think I have solutions that work, but it's hard to tell. What does the greater community think? Thanks.

    Thanks very much E Mann, that was a very helpful thread. I think it actually would apply for youtube as well. For other users, here's a direct link to the settings for Premiere Elements:
    http://eugenia.gnomefiles.org/2007/12/08/exporting-with-adobe-premiere-in-720p/
    Roughly, the answer is:
    Quicktime container
    Video codec: H.264
    Quality: 80 (I used 100 and it just takes longer to encode)
    Frame Rate: 29.97 (I guess if you are shooting in 24p, this might be different)
    Bitrate: 5000 (I might try 8000)
    Audio codec: AAC
    Output channels: Stereo
    Frequency: 48kHz
    Now, my own personal changes to this recipe are:
    Quality: 100 - takes longer to encode, no file size difference
    Bitrate: 8000
    Frequency: 44kHz (recommended by youtube)
    One final note is that for Vimeo it appears you may have to try encoding in 29.97 or 23.97 and test to see which you like better. Apparently Vimeo caps fps at 24.
    The nice thing about this is that you can get a quality video directly out of Premiere Elements and you don't have to pipe it through another program.

  • Best Settings for Exporting DVD Footage in a Movie File

    Hello,
    I've been trying to find the best settings for exporting DVD footage into a movie file from Adobe Premiere CS6.
    I recently have been using my Magnavox DVD recorder for recording VHS tapes that I made long ago for shows and various other things, and no matter what, my footage doesn't come out as it needs to be.
    Here's an example of what I did recently with my own settings:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFV4sT7rHGs
    I'm not expecting HD footage, I know these are tapes, but I'm playing the raw footage on my Xbox 360, and it looks better than this. I had to directly use the VOB files on the DVD for this, as trying to rip the files into an AVI or any other format with a DVD ripper didn't do anything, in fact it degraded the quality and made the audio not play in Premiere.
    So what would be some good settings for exporting a sequence with DVD footage that is from a VHS into a movie file, preferably one that wouldn't degrade the quality?
    Thanks!

    First, read Why not edit mpeg http://tangentsoft.net/video/mpeg/edit.html to get a general idea of why a VOB makes a very poor source file (which is a renamed MPG, with some other stuff like menu screens)
    Also, Read Bill Hunt on editing a VOB/MPG file http://forums.adobe.com/thread/464549
    Once you have a DVD compliant VOB on your timeline, and understanding that a standalone DVD recorder sometimes plays fast-n-loose with "compliance" per the DVD specification, about all you can do is export to standard or widescreen DV AVI and accept the fact that re-encoding an already compressed file is just not going to give great results

  • Best quality for youtube

    I made a video and its 2.01 GB in iMovie. i want to put it on youtube but I want the best possible quality. The limit for youtube is 100MB whats the best way to compress my movie?

    Hi F,
    I followed your link and found your instructions about exporting from iMovie with best quality for YouTube.
    The instructions were pretty clear, although my options didn't line up with them exactly (I'll tell you my explicit settings below). Still, I exported it successfully.
    Then I uploaded the resultant .mov file to YouTube. When it was all finished processing, I viewed it. After the first fraction of a second all I saw was garbage -- just junk patterns filling the screen. The sound was excellent. (by the way, I had lots of very short clips in there -- 00:00:03 in length (not sure what the units are).
    So I went back to iMovie, opened up my movie project. Played the video. Now it is intermittent garbage, too. Looks just like the uploaded file, but only intermittently.
    Here are the exact options and settings I used for export:
    File->Share, chose quicktime and expert settings, pressed the "share" button.
    in the Export dialog, I selected "movie to quicktime movie" and clicked on the "options" button.
    Options:
    Video:
    Settings...
    Set compression to mpeg-4
    Set quality to medium
    Set frame rate to 30
    Let Key frame and Data rate defaulted (unchecked)
    Filter...
    didn't look at this. Now that I do, it's set to "none"
    Size...
    Selected the "custom size" radio button and set it to 320 x 240
    Sound:
    Settings...
    format: uncompressed
    sample rate: 44.1khz
    sample size: 16
    channels: 1 (mono)
    There was also a check box for "Prepare for internet Streaming"
    It was already checked and set to "fast start"
    I didn't change it.
    If you could give me any further help, I'd really appreciate it. This was my first attempt to put anything on YouTube.
    Thanks a lot,
    Bruce Delaplain

  • FCE Export Settings for Youtube - SD and HD footage

    I made a 7 minute video in FCE that combines photos and video shot in both SD and HD.  I would like to upload this video to youtube, and I believe it needs to be exported to Quicktime movie first before I can upload it to youtube.  I have researched this issue and tried many different export options, and the closest I have gotten still results in some black spots showing up during playback in quicktime.  Can someone provide standard advice on the best settings for exporting from FCE in this situation?
    I have FCE v. 4.0.1, QT v.7.6.9, and my movies were little movies shot from my Sony Cybershot camera and my Nikon D90 (some in SD and some in HD - by accident).  Still pictures are included in the movie from both of these cameras as well. 
    Thank you for your help!

    The simplest way to produce good quality video for the internet is:-
    1. File>Export Using QT Conversion.
    2. The "Format" window should say, "QT Movie".
    3. In "Use" select "LAN/Intranet" from the dropdown menu.
    4. Click "Save" and when it has finished encoding, upload it.
    Do not mess about altering audio settings, frame rates etc.
    Using the above settings an 8 minute video would be encoded in around 20 minutes (depending on computer speed) and would be well under 100MB.
    Is that too big?

  • Best Settings for Audigy 2 ZS Recording Out to S-VHS or DVD Recor

    I?m recording some very machine intensi've video & sound to outboard devices. I'm using these outboard devices so that the recording process itself does not impact the demonstration performance.
    Concerning the sound out, I?m using the line & 2 out of the card, and running it through a pro level audio board (Mackie) for any adjustments & monitoring before taking the line out of the board into the recording device. When returning the sound for monitoring, I?m also running from the external device directly to the board and directly from there to either headphones or control room monitors. Thus, I?m using the Audigy for initial sound generation. So far, I've not really made any ajustments at the board other than level or balance. I like to keep things pretty flat in recording.
    I?ve looked around for recommendations as to the best settings for the Audigy card from its internal software for this situation, but find no ready reference. My concern is that I have the ?hottest? signal from this device, while being very concerned with audio quality. I?m looking for both ?punch? and ?clarity? of signal.
    Is there a document or source that would give me this direction? While I can move from this SB card to other more studio based cards, I?d like to keep the demo product in line with what the actual target audience would have in their machines, and be able to replicate at their workstation.
    For example, does the card function best at 00% (0db) output, or 50% (-5db) output?
    Or some setting in between...most likely...
    Or, is there some other setting I?m not aware of?
    I have what I believe are the latest card drivers and software suite, XP Pro, with every possible OS and other machine hardware update available.
    Thanks,
    Rich
