Creating video for YouTube - which user settings?

I've seen a lot of posts about converting video for posting on YouTube but I can't find any information on the best sequence setting to CREATE video for posting on YouTube. I'm making a 30-45 second promotional video that will be entirely made up of stills/text and music, so I'm just going to be doing moves on jpegs. YouTube videos are now displayed 640.360, but I can't find a FCP sequence preset that will allow me to create a video at that size. Am I missing something? Should I just create it at some other widescreen setting then convert it down? Trying to keep this is simple as possible -- do not want to have to render every clip in the timeline.
thanks,
p

Am I missing something?
Make your original video in one of the codecs supported by Final Cut Pro. You will find a list of possible codecs in the Easy Setup menu.
do not want to have to render every clip in the timeline...
Your source material is JPEG images. While they can be imported, they don't use a codec of their own. They will have to be rendered.

I wanna try a sleep hypnosis video on youtube which last eight hours, is it okay to leave it on video for that long? Or will the screen overheat?

Intensive video games can cause some heating, but if it's just a video showing it shouldn't be a problem. An iPad 3 or iPad 4 is more likely to heat than the iPad 1 or iPad 2 due to the retina display.
Do you have to view the display the whole 8 hours? You may want to lower the screen brightness.
You will probably have to keep the iPad plugged into the wall charger.

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,

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.

Creating video for web

Hi,
I'm currently putting together some videos in FCP for our new website. I've used FCP a lot for creating video for DVD's and exporting to .mov but converting to flash is relatively new to me.
I am using the On2 Flix FLV exporter to export direct from FCP to a 704 x 396 flv file.
Can someone clarify how I should set up my sequence in FCP to get the best quality results? All the source material is DV PAL for video (720 x 576 anamorphic) and PNG-24 for still images (in this case a background which I will input text over in FCP). Should I be setting all my sequences to 704 x 396, and what pixel aspect ratio should I use seeing as it is for flash/web use?
Also, in the Sequence Settings dialog box what should I set as the Compressor settings (dv pal/h.264 etc) as flv does not appear as an option?
Thanks
Jack

Thanks guys. So if I am to carry on working in the standard DV-Pal sequence I'm wondering what to do when importing graphics. I have been given a psd which contains a title screen that will be placed before each video. The psd has been given to me at 704 x 396 - the size of the final delivered FLV rather than the DV Pal sequence. When I bring this image into FCP and render it makes the image look pixelated/blocky (I'm exporting from Photoshop as a PNG-24). What is the proper way to export graphics for use in Final Cut? Should I re-size the image to match the sequence or bring it in at 704x396 and have Final Cut resize it?
Thanks
Jack

Cannot export video clips. Get message: "unable to create video for export"

Cannot export video clips from iPhoto to Finder folder. Export fails with message "unable to create video for export: "
The video clips play correctly within iPhoto.
Software: iPhoto version 9.5 on OSX 10.9
Hardware: Retina Macbook Pro 2.3 i7 8GB

Yes. I have 3,184 video clips in this library. I tested Reveal function by randomly selecting individual video clips and in every case the Reveal in Finder function worked correctly. I also tested this on random selections of groups of video clips and, again, the Reveal function worked correctly in every case.
Some more info that may be relevant:
I have multiple iPhoto libraries. My "main" library is very large (~30,000 files) and is located on an external hard drive (2TB WD) which is connected via USB.
The problem reported here is occuring on that "main" library. I have not opened any other iPhoto library since installing the new release.
While the File>Export function does not work, I have been able to simply copy and paste video clips from iPhoto library to a folder on Mac hard drive. It appears that meta data is copying correctly along with the video content.
I am able to import these copied video clips to iMovie. Meta data is imported along with the video content and I'm able to perform iMovie editing functions on those clips without any problems.
In summary, the File>Export function still fails with the message "unable to create video for export." Copying video clips and pasting them to interim folder seems to be a viable workaround enabling me to extract video clips from iPhoto for import to iMovie. I will run additional tests to see if I can find a pattern to the video files that are being rejected by iPhoto Export function.

Lip-Synced Music Videos for YouTube?

I have been creating music for 20 years (home studio), and would like to create videos for some of my original songs (currently on mp3 or wav files), then upload to YouTube. I know virtually nothing about video or video editing. I was wondering if Premiere Elements would be a good editing application for my purposes. For each video, someone would film multiple video takes of me lip-syncing to a pre-recorded song. Is Premiere Elements sophisticated or precise enough to allow excellent synchronization between separate video clips and an audio track for lip-syncing purposes? Would you recommend something else (for PC)? Thanks.
Greg

Greg,
The ONLY advantage to PrPro in your stated need, is to do the Audio editing in Audio Units, but then as you are working in Audio already, you probably have a favorite DAW, and that will give you even more control. That is NOT to say that PrPro does not have other pluses, but just not that would likely apply here. Hey, one's gotta' get something for the extra $600, right?
I'd get the trial of PrE 9.0, and test with it. There are a few limitations on certain formats, but it's pretty full-featured for a trial. Just know that it will place a watermark on the Exported/Shared footage, so you cannot deliver/upload that, and get clean, watermark-free footage.
Unless I missed something (I do most of my editing in PrPro, so do not put my PrE through all of its paces), the operations will be almost identical.
For syncing, just remember to work in Timeline View Mode (only way to work in PrPro), and turn Snap OFF (the S key togglesn Snap), otherwise, you will be trying to force little increments, and the Audio will jump about, and Snap onto cuts, etc. Just toggle it back on, when you go back to the Video editing, as it makes general alignment much easier.
If one is doing any Speed change, PrPro might be a bit easier, and offer more control, but not THAT much.
Now, if you do not have a DAW, that you love, then you might consider the CS5.5 Production Premium suite, with Audition included. One can easily do some pretty heavy-duty Audio work in that program. My workflow would be to edit the Video, and then Import the Audio and the Video into Audition, where I would tweak the Audio to perfectly (within that 1 Frame for Video), while watching the Video. Audition will offer the ability to work with Envelopes for the Audio, and adjust the Speed almost infinitely, while maintaining Pitch. However, that is not a cheap suite, and there will be a bit of a learning curve, if one has not used Audition, or a similar DAW before.
Good luck, and let us know how the PrE trial works out.

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.

How to create 1080P for YouTube

How to create 1080P for youtube, I was only be able to create 720P using the compressor. I heard that people can make 1080 using iMovie.
Thanks.

uh, what are your sequence settings? Are they 1080? If so, you just need to use file: export: quicktime movie (not quicktime conversion) with current settings and bring that file into compressor and customize the appropriate preset.
That said, do you really need 1080p for youtube. My experience is that you'll get more reliable playback with 720 in youtube.

Creating Alias for command which contains two piped cmdlet

hi friends
i use powershell 4.0. is it possible to create Alias for cmdlet which is piped to another cmdlet?
i need to use this command frequently:
Get-windowsFeature | select-object name ( to see only "name" column)
i checked & non of the following commands works:
new-alias myalias Get-windowsFeature | select-object name
or
new-alias myalias "Get-windowsFeature | select-object name"
any solution please?
thanks in advanced

You can't do that with an alias, it only works to substitute the name of a cmdlet or function, and takes a string value as it's argument. You can accomplish the same effect with a function, which takes a script block argument:
function myalias {Get-windowsFeature | select-object name}
[string](0..33|%{[char][int](46+("686552495351636652556262185355647068516270555358646562655775 0645570").substring(($_*2),2))})-replace " "
hi mjolinor
Great guide. really thanks for that. it was exactly what i needed.

Creating videos for web with QuickTime Pro

HI,
I need to create videos for my web site that are compatible with the Ipod. However, I also need to create a file that can be played on a PC, without requiring the use to install a plug in (e.g. Flash or similar).
Does QuickTime Pro have anything that can help me produce a video that is compatible with both the Ipod and the standard PC web browser?
Thanks very much,
Jamie Dolan

Every video format will require a browser plug-in be used.

Creating Video for HTML5 on MacPro

Hello Everyone, How would I go about creating video for the Ipad on a Macpro? I use to use flash but I guess I had to go to HTML5. Any good programs anyone out there recommends?
Thanks

You can use iMovie. If you "Export using QuickTime" (Share menu in iMovie '09) and use the Apple TV preset it should work just fine. You can, I believe, also use the "Export Movie" -> HD preset if you have HD-quality content; the iPad can play up to 720p.
Regards.
P.S. There is as of yet no defined standard for video codecs in HTML5. Just for the sake of accuracy.

Create schedulers for all existing user jobs

Hi Forum,
In my database (Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0), I have 7 DB schemas.
There are total existing 50 jobs (usaer_jobs).
I want to shift them all to scheduler (user_scheduler_jobs).
My plan is,
1.     Create schedulers for all existing user jobs.
2.     Enable all schedulers.
3.     Disable all jobs.
Is there any way / method for such shifting? I am ready to this exercise schema wise at a time.
How to create scripts for creating schedulers from existing jobs?
Thank you & regards..

Create subnumber for asset which already has book value RM1.

Hi everybody,
Can i create subnumber for asset which has been depreciated until RM1 book value ? This asset has a few quantity and need to be breakdown to different cost center ? If yes, how ? AS11 or AS94 ?

Hi,
Thanks Andreas. However, the asset is an old asset (already reached RM1 book value). I have tried to use AS94, but hits an error " Legacy data transfer year is not last closed fiscal year 2007". FYI the take over date in the system is 31/3/1998 while closed fiscal year is 2006. Now we are in fiscal year 2007 (Apr to Mac). If i were to change the take over date to become 31/3/2007, is there any impact to the depreciation run for other assets in the system. I'm worried if i change the take over date, the depreciation will get haywired.
