Best way to produce video for youtube

Hi all
I am a newbie here but wondered if anyone has any tips for using PE4 to produce high quality youtube video. I am capturing HDV from a Canon HV30. (As aside if anyone has any questions about how to get the HV30 / PE4 combination to work, please ask)
Exporting it directly to youtube using the preset in PE4 leaves me with decidedly inferior quality results. Does anyone have any helpers
Thanks
Kevin

I have been tinkering with this problem for a day or so. Whatever commercial tool I tried didn't work. Results were still bad. <br /><br />Tnen I started playing with shareware and tried many configurations. Still junk. But there was one exception. With this tool, you should achieve good results.<br /><br />(1) Install WinFF at http://www.winff.org<br />Best of all, it's FREE!<br /><br />(2) Create a YouTube Preset for WinFF<br />After installing WinFF, make a profile specifically for YouTube. Just open Notepad and make a text file with the following code (copy paste between the lines below)<br /><br />----------------------------------------<br /><?xml version="1.0"?><br /><presets><br /> <YouTube><br /> <label>YouTube H.264 in MP4(4:3)</label><br /> <params>-r 30.00 -vcodec libx264 -s 640x480 -aspect 4:3 -b 2000k -acodec libfaac -ab 64k -ar 22050 -ac 2 -deinterlace -pass 2</params><br /> <extension>mp4</extension><br /> <category>Websites</category><br /> </YouTube><br /></presets><br />----------------------------------------<br /><br />Now save this text file as 'YouTube.wff' in the application directory (e.g., C:\Programs\WinFF)<br /><br />(3) Install the YouTube presets in WinFF<br />Under the menu item Edit > Presets, select 'Import' and locate the file 'YouTube.wff' <br /><br />(4) Select your video file for conversion<br />Open your high quality video in WinFF, and select from the drop down Convert to... [Websites] and submenu [YouTube H.264 in MP4(4:3)] <br /><br />(5) Adjust the video bitrate settings<br />The default video bitrate for this Preset is 2000kbps. In order to keep your file under the 100 megabyte upload limit, you will likely need to adjust this down, depending on the length of your video. Try not to go below 150kbps. Just enter a number in the Video Bitrate field.<br /><br />(6) Convert the file and upload it to YouTube<br />To lift YouTube's file size limit from 100 megabytes to 1 GB, use http://www.youtube.com/my_videos_multiupload. NOTE: This will still limit videos to 10 minutes length. But the more data you upload, the better the results. <br /><br />Overall, converting with this custom WinFF preset should yield better results.<br /><br />Good luck.

What is the best way to format Videos for ipod touch?

What is the best way to format Videos for ipod touch? Used Quicktime Pro/ Export (iPhone setting). Videos aren't as crisp as downloaded Videos. Compressors /ipod video Setting also looks crapy (with bitrate med & High). What should I use?

Visualhub is a transcoder with multiple input and output formats with specific setting for iPod,iPod touch. Costs around $19-used to work great but recently everything I convert suffers audio crash than closes out the player. Hopefully they will fix it.
Elgato H.264 hardware transcoder is $99 dollars(USB stick that plugs in to Mac)-speeds up encoding of any file quicktime can handle, settings for apple tv, iphone/touch, ipod,Sony PSP. Worth the cost if you transcode a lot of video for the Touch or own an elgato HD tuner. Files work flawlessly and look great.
Mpeg streamclip-free. Works great, has presets or can customize the output.

What is the best way to create videos for my website?

Hi,
I'm a public speaking coach in Sydeny Australia. I've started a blog and want to include videos to my newsletter subscribers. I do not want to use YouTube, because I want to only share these videos to people on my list.
What is the best way / program to create good videos for my customers? I think I might need to upload these videos to my server and only share the links...? Any suggestions welcome.
Thank you

Trevor:
This may be more information than you asked for, but here goes:
Get a Samsung S10 Video camera (under $400) and a Zoom H4n Professional audio recorder. Get Adobe Production Premium CS5. The camera shoots 1920 x 1080 square pixel in a better quality than a $6000 Panasonic P2 from 4 years ago. The downside, the audio from the Samsung is poor. That's why I recommend the Zoom H4n. On the Premiere timeline, you simply align the waveform of the video with the higher quality wave from the H4n. You can buy a medium sized fold up greenscreen and place any background behind your talent. CS5 has Ultra built in, so you can easily key out the green right on the Premiere timeline revealing a nice background of your choice.
I would design a web page based upon your current website's look and feel that will be a template for your videos. You export your finished video from the Premiere timeline as an f4v. I would recommend 16x9 widescreen and use the Flash preset of "Web Large Widescreen". You can also specify a "Fullscreen" button on the video's controller. The quality is so good that the video will look good even when your client watches it full screen. You import the video into Flash CS5 using the same document dimensions as your video size. You create a Flash template and "Publish" your Flash movie TO your template. Then all that is necessary is to upload all of the associated Web ready files to your server via FTP or Dreamweaver. This workflow streamlines the process and saves hours of fiddling around.
As far as the Web page goes that has your video, give the pages an HTML name like; vid0096hvc.html and use the Robots No Follow tag:
<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW">
This is the next best thing to having a client log-in and works in a setting where people aren't paying
to see the video, but you still don't want them plastered all over the internet.

Best Way To Add Video For Interactive CD?

I've been searching this all over - I dont see a good option
for something that isn't online. The videos are 45 seconds or so -
so doesnt qualify to work well for an embedded video - I need the
final file to be an SWF so I cant link the video externally - the
progessively downloading option seems like it's only for online
content. Do I have any other options?

Create your presentation/CD
You can import a .FLV into any frame by going to:
File/import/Import Video
Browse for the .flv (That you created using Flash 8.0's Flash
video encoder) Free with Flash Pro.
Then follow the prompts
For more control throw it in a movieClip
Then export as an .exe and .hqx (For Mac if you like)
*Side Note in order to burn a cross-platform CD you will need
to burn on a mac using Toast.

Best way to do video with MIDI keyboard input

A year or so ago I bought a TASCAM digital interface (US-144), good mike and a Yamaha P-70. Used this setup with GarageBand 08 with great success to produce female voice lead over MIDI piano. Also recently checked out iMovie 09 to produce a YouTube video using only an audio file and iPhoto pictures with Ken Burns effect.
Now I want to find the best way to produce a video of a piano performance using the MIDI input, rather than the recorded audio. Should I pursue iMovie or GarageBand, and if GarageBand (09), biggest question is how to get video that is synched correctly with the MIDI input. I could use the built-in cam on my MacBook Pro 13" for starters just to see if it worked. Suggestions appreciated.

say i took just the vocal from a track (lionel all
night long for example) and the instrumental just
music from like queen and in logic put the vocal over
the instrumental and created my own lionel/queen
remix how would i get the video to sync with that
when i came to fcp?know its a case of cuting and
editing it but if my vocal had to have been its tempo
increased to fit the instrumental in fcp i would have
to speed the video up to get it in sync?
sorry scott, you really need to spell things out like this for the middle-agers on the board like me. i don't know about the integration with logic but i would assume there's a way to use a timecode-based timeline instead of a beats-based timeline? base your clips on timecode and fcp can speed adjustments to it's clips up to a point. you may need to look for something like twixtor.
there are more knowledgeable folk here that have far more comprehensive knowledge on this than i and hopefully they'll contribute their voices.

Output file size restrictions - HD Video for YouTube

For over a year YouTube has removed restrictions on file sizes for individuals that want to do so. The preset output in Premier Elements 11 for "Online - HD Video for YouTube 1920X1080" will not allow a video longer than 15 minutes. I need to remove this restriction and be able to produce files to upload to YouTube without file size restrictions. How can I do this?

TheBanjoNut
You cannot. And, Premiere Elements 12 has the same YouTube limitations as 11.
You need to export your Timeline to a file saved to the computer hard drive, and then upload that file to YouTube at the YouTube web site.
At YouTube, you would need to explore the opportunities that it offers in the way of "extended times". It may require special accounts.
Without further details of your Premiere Elements project preset and the properties of your source media, I would generalize and suggest that you look at the follow choices for creating this file for upload to YouTube at the YouTube web site...
Publish+Share
Computer
AVCHD
with Presets =
MP4 - H.264 1920 x 1080p30
or
YouTube Widescreen HD (changing the settings under the Advanced Button/Video Tab of the preset)
Please review. If you have any further questions on this, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thanks.

Best way to manage video

hi, i just got a video iPod (30GB) for my birthday and i want to know the best way to put video's on my iPod. i have many of my video's in a quicktime format on my external hard drive therefore i do not want them in iTunes, but i do what them on my iPod?
thanks

Hi Macmanman,
(i have many of my video's in a quicktime format )
That doesn't guarantee that they will play on your ipod - they should be in mp4 format for an ipod to recognise them. If they are not you can open them in Quicktime and export them to that format or there are various third party applications that will convert to iPod friendly formats - 'Viddyup' 'VisualHub' and 'iSquint' which is free - you can get it here:
http://www.isquint.org/
(i do not want them in iTunes, but i do what them on my iPod?)
They have to be in iTunes in order for your iPod to sync with them - this doesn't mean that you have to move them from your external drive, however.
if you open iTunes and choose preferences from the menu, under Advanced deselect 'copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library' This will add the movies to iTunes but leave the files on your ex drive. Remember to change the preference back when your done.

Script to encode jpg and mp3 into video for youtube?

Hi!
Sometimes I upload music and stand-up to youtube. Till now I used wine + avisynth + virtualdubmod to achieve this. Lately I realized that there is another smipler way to carry out things: ffmpeg
I was looking for some script or one-liner which makes the encoding task, but unfortunately none of those mentioned scripts worked. They are all obsolate that are mentioned by others. Some of them works, but the resulting video are denied by youtube. Do anybody know a simple one-liner or script (or maybe a handy application) which can do the transcoding the right way?

You don't say if you want 1 or multiple .jpg images in the video.

Script to encode jpg and mp3 into video for youtube?
With x264/mp3 into a mp4 container? Any number of ways. Here are some examples.
ffmpeg -r 1 -i file.jpg -i file13.mp3 -c:a copy -c:v libx264 -b:v 500k ouput.mp4
ffmpeg -loop 1 -i file.jpg -c:v libx264 -t 30 -i file.mp3 -c:a copy out.mp4
ffmpeg -f image2 -i file.jpg -i audio.mp3 -c:a copy -c:v libx264 -b:v 500k output.mp4
Find out how you want to do, then if you want a script to automate it, something like
#! /usr/bin/env bash
echo "What image file?"
read image
echo "What audio file?"
read audio
echo "what video size?"
echo "Example: 640x480"
read size
echo "Output file name?"
read name
ffmpeg -f image2 -i "$image" -i "$audio" -c:a copy -c:v libx264 -b:v 500k -s "$size" "$name".mp4
exit
If you want to use multiple images, look at ffmpeg docs.

Whats the best way to stream videos?

whats the best way to stream video thru plumtree portal?What all it requires? (technology/application/server/plumtree development?)

Hello Kuljit,
For the windows platform you could set up Windows Media services. It can be configured to play all sorts of media files. I created a "radio station" portlet that multiple channels and from the portal I could select a drop down and the station would play that stream. I would make sure that media services are not being gatewayed and that anyone that can see your portal can see the videos. Here is my html that I made a portlet out of: This will not show the video window. You can increase the size of the object to show the video window with controls. Check out MSDN online for configuration of the <object>
<FORM NAME="streamForm"> <INPUT NAME="btnPlay" TYPE="Button" VALUE="Play" onclick="MediaPlayer1.controls.Play();"> <INPUT NAME="btnStop" TYPE="Button" VALUE="Stop" onclick="MediaPlayer1.controls.stop();"> <select name="musicGroup" onChange="changeStream()"> <option value="">-- Select --</option> <option value="barenakedladies">Barenaked Ladies</option> <option value="pinkfloyd">Pink Floyd</option> </select> </FORM>
<OBJECT CLASSID="clsid:6BF52A52-394A-11D3-B153-00C04F79FAA6" ID="MediaPlayer1" height="0" width="00"> <PARAM NAME="Name" VALUE="MediaPlayer1"> <param name="uiMode" value="invisible"> <PARAM NAME="TransparentAtStart" Value="true"> <PARAM NAME="AutoStart" Value="true"> <PARAM NAME="AnimationatStart" Value="false"> <PARAM NAME="ShowControls" VALUE="0"> <PARAM NAME="autoSize" Value="false"> <PARAM NAME="displaySize" Value="0"></OBJECT><script language="javascript">function changeStream(){ df = document.streamForm; if(df.musicGroup.selectedIndex != 0) { MediaPlayer1.url = "mms://MBRUCELT-W3k/"+df.musicGroup[df.musicGroup.selectedIndex].value; } }</script>
This works for the latest version of Window Media Player. The mms:// in my script is a call to Windows Media Services. That is the part that should be accessible from outside the portal.

What is the best way to record video games on my mac

what is the best way to record video games on my mac?

I'm unclear about what you're asking - could you be a little clearer? I know you say that you want to "record video games" but I'm not sure if you're asking if you could, for instance, create a movie of video games as they're being played or what.

What is the best way to upload videos to your PC.

What is the best way to download videos from your iphone to your PC.

There's no "best" way per se, and there's differences depending on what application created the video. If you used the standard Camera app to take the video, simply connect your phone to your computer, after iTunes syncs you can close iTunes or minimize it, and open My Computer (Windows XP) or Computer (Windows Vista/7), and in the folder window you'll see a removable device called iPhone with a camera icon. When you open that window, you'll see the contents of your Camera Roll where you can cut or copy the item, then paste onto Desktop or into another folder. Other applications have different methods. Some save to the Camera Roll so you can move those the same way, others, like iMovie, you have to first "share" the video to your Camera Roll after the film is complete, then remove the same way. Other apps, like Silent Film for example, set up an FTP connection to your LAN and you retrieve the video via an FTP client (or a web browser as web browsers can log into FTP connections).
Hope that helps.

Encoding music video for Youtube - any advantage of using Pro (AME) over Elements?

I am in the process of encoding some music videos for youtube. I'm currently using Steve Grisetti's suggested settings from mid-2011 here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/623549
What I'm wondering is if the Adobe Media Encoder provided with Premiere Pro (or another such program with more features than the Premiere Elements 7 encoder) would provide better results? For example, I noticed those programs have options such as 256kbps audio, 2-pass, and Variable Bit Rate (which PE7 doesn't seem to have). Would that provide better quality? Of course, I need the very best audio possible.
Also, I've read from various other people's suggestions, that FLV is a better export choice than h264 since less recoding by Youtube is done- any truth to that?
Lastly, would exporting to 1080 instead of 720 (and therefore giving youtube users the option of choosing either 1080 or 720) be better for the long term, or is there any reason why 720 is suggested?
My videos are short and were edited from DVD vob files. I've very new to encoding so really appreciate the suggestions!
Thanks!

I doubt that even a discerning ear to tell the original source Audio, after YouTube gets through Transcoding it for display. Also, viewers will be listening through their computer's speakers, and not a full home theater setup, where the Bit-Rate might make a slight difference. Also, most folk today, think that MP3's through ear-buds are "high fidelity."
The only plus for using AME is that once you have queued the Project up, you can do other things, while it is processing the file.
Good luck,
Hunt

Best ways to embed Video??

What is teh best way to embed video in DW? Quicktime, WMV,
streaming? I have tried a few with varing results across different
browsers...
And suggestions - I have seen some very cool interfaces out
there but sadly the source for the player interfaces I cannot
find..
Any help would be appreciated..
I need the ability to set auto play or not - and other
options for video in the browser window or at least in DW.
Thanks in advance

If you have the entire Studio, I would definitely convert to
Flash Video and
use the DW Insert/Flash Video dialogue to insert it. You have
a choice of
skins and you can set a lot of options .. surely the ones you
mention. Best
part is Flash Video is crystal clear with the ON2 codec in
Flash 8 and you
won't believe how small the file is, compared to the other
options.
