Camera settings for making youtube videos

I have a Canon 60D and CS4 master collection with Premiere Pro and Encore.  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

Thanks Bill, that's a most honest answer.  I also found this tv segment to help in the camera settings.  http://tv.adobe.com/watch/shooting-and-editing-hdslr-video-using-adobe-tools/-setting-up-t he-camera-correctly-for-dslr-video/  This is most exciting challenge and a healthy switch from my traditional photo skills.

  • Camera settings for making book

    hi all i've just started to get into iphoto and want to make a book for mother's day. i've tried adding some pictures but its also showing the yellow sign with the ! in the middle. i take it this means the pictures are not of good quality to print out. the ones with this on them are taken on 1 megapixel.
    what should i change it to? on my new camera its either 1, 3 or 5. i know the easy answer is 5 but i'm just making sure.
    also anyone know how long the book takes to be delivered to the uk.

    That yellow sign is an indication that you don't have sufficient pixel density to produce a quality print. You want to take pictures with the maximum amount of pixels that your camera can utilize. Also, set your compression to "Fine." The ONLY downside to these recommendations is file size - the camera's storage capacity will be reduced.

  • Best settings for Green Screen Video with Canon Mark iii

    HI
    What are the ideal camera settings for Green screen video.
    Iso?
    aperature?
    Depth of field settings (best to have the green screen a bit out of focus?)
    Any other camera settings would be helpful.
    Thanks
    Rowby

    Hi Rowby!
    Thanks so much for writing in about green screen shooting with the EOS 5D Mark III camera.  Green screen shooting can come down to some crucial elements and how well you handle the camera and the lighting.  
    Arguably the most important thing is to have excellent lighting on the screen.  Without this, the keys used to replace the green screen will not be accurate.  So hopefully you have a good set of lights you will be using to actually light the physical screen. 
    With regards to ISO, shoot as low as possible.  We suggest that you stick in the ISO 200-400 range where possible.  With good, high key, proper lighting on the screen this shouldn't be an issue. 
    Aperture should actually be in the higher end of the range, you would want to stick to apertures around f/8 and above.  Again, with adequate lighting this shouldn't be out of reach.  This is so the green screen is more in focus, versus having it out of focus, which would not yield successful results. 
    Use an appropriate lens to the subject, for example if you are doing wide shots- use only the focal length needed for the shoot and no wider.  For head shots, close ups- use a lens that will get you close. 
    Following these suggestions should give you some pretty good results.  Remember, if this is your first attempt don't be discouraged, green screen shooting can be difficult to accomplish. 
    We wish you the best of luck in your endeavor!

  • What are best Mpeg encoder settings for making DVDs?

    In switching from PP1.5 to CS3 the procedure is different for making DVDs and we have to encode mpeg files that later get picked up by Encore DVD build proces. What are the best mpeg encode settings for making the DVDs?
    Thanks,
    Chuck Taylor

    Question:
    If you are doing a video that is small enough that you are not worried about size, what is the absolute best quality encoder settings? Would a Continous Bitrate result in a higher quality file generally? VBR is for trying to make a smaller file I assume.
    I'm frustrated with even white letters on black titles that have some flicker. I just don't seem to get the smooth quality I desire.
    Should I look at a different encoder?
    If you output PP3 to an AVI and then import it into encore, isn't there a reduction of Q. due to the save to the AVI file?
    thanks.

  • What are the best imovie, mpeg4 settings for making dvds?

    What are the best imovie, mpeg4 settings for making dvds?

    • iMovie'08 to 11
    - Share to Media Browser - AND as Large (or Medium) - HD or other resolutions degrades the final result
    iMovie'08 to 11 are not the tools of choise if quality is important as they all degrade the picture by discarding every second line when going from, Event's to Project's and this can not be mended.
    iMovie HD6 and FinalCut delivers 100% of what any DVD-Authoring program needs.
    • DVD is as standard MAX - intrelaced SD-Video - and can not be any better than this
    • iDVD does only care about TIME / Duration as
    iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (version 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1) and iDVD 6 has the two last ones
    • Professional Quality
    (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST (but not always for short movies e.g. up to 45 minutes in total)
    • Best Performances
    (movies + menus less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD (Can be best for short movies)
    • High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6)
    (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
    Menu can take 15 minutes or even more - I use a very simple one with no audio or animation like ”Brushed Metal” in old Themes.
    About double on DL DVDs.
    • iDVD Does Region = Zero (to be played everywhere)
    • Frame rate - DVD can be in two types PAL (25fps) and NTSC (29.97fps)
    If Your material is 30fps then keep to NTSC (29.97fps), if 25fps keep to PAL.
    One can feed iDVD the other frame rate - BUT RESULTING DVD WILL BE BAD
    I use JES_Deinterlacer (free on Internet) to convert all material to the same and final frame rate
    • NTSC - US etc
    • PAL - EU etc

  • Best Settings for making a Secure, Reliable Disk Image?

    Hi guys!
    Can anybody direct me to the best settings that can be used to make a secure Disk image using the MacOS X disc utility?
    I wish to make my computer family friendly, yet keep my proffessional and private files secure/private and innaccesible to children and unautorized individuals. I have heard that files saved inside encrypted images (password protected) are also not indexed in the finder wich is perfect for the privacy I seek (this is true right?).
    I know how to access the tools, but the right settings for making a trustworthy image remain elusive. Already tried with some of the formats and information placed inside...started becoming glitchy and unreliable, even after removing the files and making them unencrypted again.I'm abaout to try with the HFS+ format.
    I cannot lose the files I wish to protect. But I need to secure them and if anything, be capable of backing up the image by copying it into a HFS+ formated external hard drive every once in a while. Can this be done?
    Is there a risk of data loss in the encryption process? One of my external drives (FAT 32) even started to make unrelated neighboring folders "disappear" after making an image inside ( I though I could make an image anywhere and save stuff securely at that point...but nearly losing the entire cashe of info made me backtrack and simply avoid the process until i'm sure of what I'm setting up---so many compatibility problems!)
    • Don't know what settings to use.
    • Some say there is a small chance of a disk image being damaged or corrupted (for no reason whatsoever)...but having trouble right off the bat, with a brand new image worries me. WHAT ARE THE RISKS? Is the system unrefined and unrealiable?
    I plan to make the Image a sparse file,using the HMS+ format, 400GB....regular encryption. I plan to copy all my sensitive stuff inside and delete unprotected copies. Risky? Are images unreliable in general? or where my glitches abnormalities?---Can the images hold collections of files or do they become more unrealiable the bigger they get (what I fear). I don't wan't to have to make dozens of images to protect my files.
    Can a external drive be formated to HMS+ and accept  a drag and dropped copy of a 400GB image? FAT32 will just not accept it. Would there be risk of the image being damaged in the transfer? NOTE that copying the data into an external drive would be to have a secure backup of the data. If I can't trust the backup to be carbon copy intact...it isn't a backup.
    Securing files is really proving to be bothersome, despite having "refined" tools at my disposal.
    Thanks for your help!

    Do you place your backups on external disks? Are your external disks formatted HFS+?
    Can HFS+ Disk image be Drag dropped into a HFS+ formatted external disk in order to copy them? or is the process blocked like what happens to large Disk images in FAT 32?
    I'm trying to lock on to the right format to apply to everything. My steps will be:
    Make the image: So far a sparse image in HFS+ format, 400 GB, No partition map.
    Drag sensitive work to Disk image. Once transfer in complete delete originals.
    Format an external disk into the journaled HFS+ format. Drag drop Secure disk image to back it up.
    Do you see any problems with this process? Anything i'm missing?

  • With Premiere elements 11, when Publish/Share (saving) a finished video, selecting H.264  .mov file type, what are the recommended Codec and Aspect settings for a crisp video and a small file size?

    With Premiere Elements 11, when Publish/Share (saving) a finished video, selecting H.264  .mov file type, what are the recommended Aspect and Codec settings , for a crisp video with a small file size?

    Gary Krouse
    We will customize a very detailed reply, but
    (a) What are the properties of your source media?
    (b) What did you or the program set as the project preset to match the properties of the source media?
    (c) What specific requirements do you have for this H.264.mov export file?
    File size can be a compromise between bitrate, file size, and quality.
    Thanks.

  • 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.

    Unfortunately the answer to your question is ... No. you cant make the built in music App work the same way that is does on the iPhone. I have no clue why Apple decided to do it this way but they did.
    I don't use any of them, but there are other Music apps available for the iPad. You may want to look into one of those. Here are a few of them. You can search for more.

  • I have been looking for a solution for making my videos capable of playing on anything such as: DVD player, Mac, PC, etc.

    I have been looking for a solution for making my videos capable of playing on anything such as: DVD player, Mac, PC, etc. I have not found a format that will play with all of these. Is there a format, software, or do you encode it? I am new to production. I can make a video and make it work for a certain thing just not all.

    There is no such thing as universal format and that is that. You are looking for the magic pearl that doesn't exist and rather than waste your time on a futile search, it would be better to actually read up on the various formats and their limitations, including how playback devices may or may not support this and that.

    Have you ever even used skype on an iphone or ipod?  We tried it and there is no way to type to each other while you are video chatting.  You can do the typing during the video on a COMPUTER, but not on an iphone or ipod.

  • 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.

  • Question about Camera/Premiere Settings for Slow Motion Video

    I'm new to shooting video with cameras that have manual options, so I'm not exactly sure how I should set up the camera settings. It's a Canon 60D. Basically in the video I want to make, I'd like to have a lot of normal speed to slow motion transitions. Some of the video footage will be very fast paced, so I'd like to slow it down as much as possible without making the video appear jumpy. I assume I should change the frame rate on the camera to 60 fps. Is there anything else I should adjust within the settings?
    I will be editing with premiere elements if you know of any additional tips for that.
    Thank you in advance!

    The speed of your camcorder doesn't matter. You can apply Time Stretch to any video clip.
    There's a limit to how much  you can slow it, of course. With that camera and Premiere Elements, you're not going to be able to slow down a water spray so you an see the individual droplets or anything like that. But, if you combine TimeStretch and Frame Blend, you should get very good results slowing your footage down a certain amount.
    How much you can slow it and still be satisfied with the results is kind of a judgment call. So I encourage you to experiment and see what your tolerance is.

  • 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.
