Exporting final project for youtube (with high quality)

hey guys,
i have been trying to export videos and upload them onto youtube giving them a high quality look for some time now.
the website recommends for the best quality:
-mpeg 4
-320X240
-MP3 audio
-30 fps
there is even a video on it here:
http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?answer=55745&topic=10526
i tried two different ways of exporting my project. i use fc express hd on a macbook pro...the first export was an mpeg 4 divx export. i used the 4 recomendations but it still came out pixilated. i then tried the regular mpeg 4 option in the export menu. this one had a different audio option. there was no mp3 listen and ACL audio or something like that,
either way they both came out pixilated! this was only a 5 minute long video. i have seen plenty of videos on youtube that were 8 minutes long and crystal clear.
there must be SOMETHING i should change in my exporting options! please help! its been like a year and a half now that ive been searching for clear youtube videos!
thanks for your time,
Mike

hmm i tried there suggestions and unfortunatly it came out pixilated!
i was excited to see the results too because that page given seemed like it would work...
i double checked all of the settings and they matched up with what they suggested...
does any body have any suggestions? thankyou!

  • 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.

  • Please help with Exporting from Final Cut for Youtube

    Hey guys, your help would be greatly appreciated!
    I shot a bunch of clips using 'ishowu' with the '640x480' option enabled... then imported them into Final Cut to make a movie.
    My question is, now that the movie is done, what is the best way to export for youtube, using what dimensions? I tried to export using 1280x720 for youtubes widescreen, but it stretches out my whole video making everything look abnormally wide. How can I get the best video size but without it streching out my video?

    Export it using 640x480.
    There is no point in making it larger because you cannot put in information that is not there originally.
    640 x 480 is the optimum size. Make it any bigger and it will just appear degraded.

  • Slideshow with high quality

    I have a Photography Studio and I am trying to create client slideshows that display in very high quality. If I view the slideshow as created on iPhoto, the output is fantastic. If I burn a disc with iDVD (even on "Best Quality") the images as viewed from the DVD are not great. They become a little jaggy and some color shifting is evident. Not horrible, just not professional looking. My files are high quality .psd files. I have tried the process with high quality .jpg files, too.
    Is the answer a PRO level DVD compression product? Voodoo????
    I am at my wits end, but it was a short trip to get there.
    Thanks for any and all help,
    Louie

    Hi,
    I understand you want to create a DVD, right? Before you know how to get the best quality, you must choose what software to use . You can build slideshows using just DVD Studio Pro (DVDSP Folrum) and/or in a video timeline with FinalCutPro (FCP Forum).
    Each soft need a different approach ! You'll find a lot of posts with useful information in that forums and you can post your own when you decide what tool use for your project.
    If you want to build simple slideshows with just a transition or no transition at all, where the people can choose next prev and so picture, you can use DVDSP.
    If you want a more sofisticated presentation where you can control completly adnvanced trasitions and zoom/pan effects, you need to create it in a video application like FCP.
    You posted this question in Compressor forum, what is a tool for transcoding your video footage to, i.e. MPEG2 files to include in DVDSP.
    About quality, think that Standard Definition DVDs have a resolution of 720x480 pixels (NTSC) what probably is absolutly low resolution compared with your original pictures, but doesn't mean your pictures will look bad. Any comercial movie DVD you watch has that resolution ! The advantage is that every DVD player (computer and stan alone ones) will be able to play it.
    When you mention the iPhoto slideshow, I think you mean a slideshow you played directly from your computer what is a completly different approach that DVD.
    I just want to give a start point.

  • Exporting from FCP for use with PC

    Hey all,
    Trying to deliver a high-med quality 8 minute video from FCP for use with a PC. I've tried exporting both a .mov and .avi using DVCPro50, but neither are readable through the PC. Best I can get is sometimes audio will show up. Does anyone have a good solution for exporting from FCP for use with a PC?
    Thanks again for your help!

    I don't think DVCpro50 codec is available on a PC. I think panasonic has a special license with apple only, so you need to try a different codec for the avi.

  • Ventrilo Mic Hiss with high quality Mic and X-Fi Titanium PCI-E

    ?Ventrilo Mic Hiss with high quality Mic and X-Fi Titanium PCI-E? I have <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.astrogaming.com/products/detail/4/A40-Headset/]this headset.[/url]? It works perfectly on other setups and is a very high quality headset.
    Recently, I installed the X-fi Titanium PCI-E card. Everything sounds great and my mic works well in other programs and games, however, when talkin in ventrilo there is?a noticeable high pitch?microphone hiss. The hiss goes away when I put my fist around the mic, but I can't exactly talk like that. Plus putting foam around the mic doesn't make it go away.
    The headset works fine on other setups so it is not at fault. It's almost like there is a mic boost on, but there doesn't seem to be a mic boost feature in the Creative Console.
    Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit
    Intel Core I7 920 @ 3.4ghz
    6GB RAM
    4870x2 GPU
    Asus P6T Deluxe MOBO
    Creative Sound Blast X-Fi Titanium PCI-E
    Any ideas. I've tried everything. I used to exact same ventrilo settings on another computer and have had no problems, so it is not ventrilo and is not the mic. It has to be something wrong with the sound card.
    Thanks

    Turned my T.V. off and the hiss went away.
    Must have been some sort of interference.

  • I need help with exporting 720p video for youtube.

    Hi everyone, I have been using Adobe premeir for almost a year now and I love it, as its very professional and powerful. I used to edit Standard with no problem, then export the full unconverted file (wmv) and run it though Windows Movie Maker to compress it (haha yeah I know its crazy.) Now that I got a camera capable of shooting HDV I want to use it. Im just wondering the following:
    1.What format should I export with in Adobe Media Encoder? (Original Raw footage files from Camera are MOV formatted)
    2.What should I set the Bitrate to?
    3.How do I export to flash without it being to large of a file (Under 200mb's for a 5 minute video) and have it not choppy or pixelated?
    4.How do I speed up exporting, how many passes should I do?
    5.What overall is the best setup for youtube?
    I also noticed a small glitch, and its when I export normally (full size, no compression) and run it though a compressor it cuts out all of the titles, and just flashes them for a milisecond. Its really odd. It only happens when I export in a certain format in which I cannot quite remember. Anyways.. thanks in advance for helping me. Its very appreciated.

  • Exporting HD project for use in DVD SP

    Hi Guys,
    Very glad I found this forum as I am just out of ideas to get this working. Here is the situation:
    I have a project of a wedding in HDV, which contains 3 sequences with the following lengths:
    The Service = 45mins
    Photoshoot = 5mins
    Reception = 80mins
    I have decided I would like to have the Service + photoshoot on ONE DVD and the reception on ONE DVD. If possible? If not possible I will have the reception spread over two but i do not see the need.
    First of all I have a Powermac dual 1.8 which doesn't have a dual layer dvd burner, so to have a higher quality result and to be able to fit more on I have decided I probably best to get a Dual Layer burner to do this project.
    But before I do that, I need to work out what is the best settings for exporting this project out of FCP 5.1 to work on a SD DVD? Do I use compressor? If so which preset or what settings of my own? I have tried various things and I honestly get lost and my project in DVD SP is around 12GB. So i try exporting again with other ways in compressor and then the quality just looks terrible.
    The FCP project is all in HDV with apple intermediate codec so I would be exporting from that, but obviously only need the DVD in SD!
    If it helps converting the HD project to SD/DV I can do that with the sequence which I did try and then some more export experimenting but it looked really bad.
    Please help guys I am desperate and no idea on what to do here.
    I really appreciate your time, feel free to ask me anything to help you determine what I should do.
    Thank you so much.

  • What Is The Best Way To Connect Ipod To Stereo Reciever With High Quality?

    I recently purchased an 80 gig and am a newbie. I ripped all my music at around 280kbps to retain good audio quality when playing in my car and home theatre system. There are tons of accesories out there (docks, jacks, etc) which is the highest quality to connect my Yamaha receiver. I would think a connection to the bottom of my ipod would be of a higher quality rather than using the headphone jack. Any suggestions would be great. I was thinking about using the monster itv link but mostly for audio. thanks

    OK - So now that you have all completely ignored the original question - in hopes of proving your manly-hood....
    Does anyone have an answer to the original question....
    "What is the best way to connect to a high end home stereo to retain the best sound?"
    For sure any connection going through the headphone jack will be a big step back - enough so that you would easily hear a sound quality loss in doing so.
    For the few of you who would like to argue/bicker/rant on the nominal sound quality loss....keep on doing so, but for those who actually have some respectable advice we would love to hear it.
    For the record, I tend to hear just outside the normal human auditory range...
    To help myself put it to rest already... a few years back I decided to conduct my own little listening test.
    I took 6 different common ripping modalities (from lossless - to - 128kbps in both MP3 & AAC.... then transfered all of them in order to a blank. Used the same song for each - the song chosen opened with a few clean crisp bars of high freq. music, followed by an instant explosion/drop into a tight & low bassline.
    The final cutoff that was achieved before I was unable to detect an audible difference was 198 VBR AAC. Having convinced myself that there was the ever sooooooo slight difference b/t 198 & 256, I went with my current ripping status of 256.... Just incase my audible range should become finally honed with age (yeah, like that is really going to happen) !
    This test was run over a Yamaha DSP receiver, running at a constant 110w per channel (w/a max of 220w). The speaker setup was a full surround set of Klipsch Reference Series..... each speaker housing 2 x 6.5 woofer (each housing 2 x 1" Titanium tweeters) And sitting along side the 5 surrounds was/is a 150w continuous 12in. Subwoofer.
    Now I am hardly stating that I have hearing as good as some of you extremely technically profound music enthusiasts out there, but for the majority of people making comments about sound quality, and lack there of - when played over a $120/40w Audiovox radio.... I'm sorry, but I would have to side on that of......"Hogwash, that you can hear a difference!"
    So.... if possible would someone please offer some advice on a dock or cable connection that will allow us to enjoy the music we ripped at whatever
    so-called range we did!
    For those interested in seeing who could hit the further bullseye with their eyes closed, You win!!! Now can you help us?

  • IMovie to iDVD with higher quality results

    I have been working for several weeks on a 30 minute presentation using iMovie. It was a little slow at the start, but it's absolutely gorgeous now with video, stills, voice over, multiple CD tracks, etc. I am thrilled at the result and it's going to be given out to a lot of people who were involved in a huge service project. My problem is that when I export to iDVD and burn it, the photos are pretty bad. I've adjusted iDVD to highest setting, but it's still so disappointing. Options? Are there non-Apple solutions for this or another version of iDVD? I would appreciate your help. I have not been on here before so if this has been solved somewhere else--just point me there.

    Also, iMovie 9 uses single-field processing when exporting, so basically you are losing every other horizontal frame. There have been huge discussion threads about this with recommendations for obtaining better quality exports: Ziatron prefers iMovie 6 with iDVD 8/9. Steve Mullen posts lots about video quality....but does not realy use iDVD.

  • Your tip in Printing in Indesign--working with high quality images

    Hi everyone,
    I am very curious about what the other professionals' idea about printing and using Indesign to print.
    I am working on a project that with high resolutions of model and product images together.
    Since I had to move elements on the layout. Model and product images are in different layers in Indesign.
    I used Indesign to combine those images together to create ads for magazine.
    However, I was told  that it would be "SAFER" to combine those images together FRIST in photoshop.
    he thinks the process should be that:
    ---Having a flated image of model and products in photoshop first
    ----then bring that one image in Indesign.
    ----This way it would insure the color will be right.
    What do you guys think?
    The places I worked in the past, has not done stuff like that.
    I feel like ...colors aren't something we could control when magazine uses their own printing vendor.
    What is your process to ensure the color is right when priting a combination of different high resolution tiff files?
    Thank you very much for your time and knowleage.
    Lori

    Assuming you have some sort of color management in place, I would continue to do it the way you are.
    But let's say you did want to follow this fellow's advice. Here's everything I can think of.
    Putting the models and products together on one Photoshop "page" can wind up making the PSD file very big as there may be spaces between the models and products.
    Never, ever flatten that Photoshop file. There's no need and makes a very complicated workflow if you have to make any changes.
    You're right about the magazine printing process taking over color.
    What are you sending the magazine? A PDF? There's totally no need to flatten in Photoshop then.
    The art is flattened in it's own way.
    I'm also assuming that your prducts and models are close to each other

  • How to export HD-project to .avi including HD-quality and timecodes

    Hi,
    I have an iMovie HD 6 project that I have imported from my Sony HDR-HC3 HD video camera. The project is a HD-1080i-25 project. I want to export this project to an AVI keeping the HD quality (same quality as the DV-tape). What settings should I use to make this happen? I don’t want to export it as a QuickTime .mov file but as an .AVI file that I am able to play in a media player that supports HD. I also want to keep the 16:9 format and timecodes. One other purpose with this file is as a backup (if the DV-tape should be damaged) so it must be possible to import it into iMovie again if that should be necessary.
    Is all this possible?
    Thanks in advance.
    Jarle

    Your best option is to export to .dv using the Full Quality DV preset. It will preserve all quality including the timecode.
    On the other hand the Expert export settinngs of iMovie 5 and 6 are buggy because exporting via the expert settings as a DV stream or .avi deinterlaces video and loses the timestamp!!
    Workarounds: Export .dv via the Full Quality preset (this is more convenient anyway). Exporting as .dv (or DV-encoded .avi) via QuickTime Player Pro also preserves interlacing and timecode.
    http://www.sjoki.uta.fi/~shmhav/iMovieHD_6_bugs.html#expertsettings
    If you export via QuickTime Player Pro, then use the following settings:
    Export: Movie to DV Stream
    DV Format: DV
    Video format: PAL (I am European)
    Scan: Interlaced (notice that this option only sets the corresponding flag -- it does not do ANYTHING else to the video!)
    Aspect Ratio: 16:9 (this options also sets the corresponding flag so other apps can properly treat the file)
    Audio Format Rate: 48.000 kHz (I believe there is not much difference between locked vs unlocked audio -- unlocked seems to be the default)
