How can I upload my FCP project in high quality on youtube?

Ok so I finished a 4 minute project on Final Cut Pro and it's perfect. But when I bring it out of FCP the quality fails completely. The video is blurry. Even the music sounds terrible. This happens when I export through share masterfile even though it's 4 GB
I'm trying to put it on youtube. What's the best way of doing it?

Don't share directly to YouTube. YouTube has bandwidth limit requirements and I'm pretty sure FCPX is trying to upload its usual high quality H.264 video. If you upload a video to YT at a higher quality than they allow, they will re-encode the video for you to fit their requirements. Their encoders are not as good as the ones you have available on your mac... and... they don't care.  The only exception is for creators with enterprise quality internet connections, in which case, youtube will take what FCPX feeds it.
Use Compressor, or Quicktime 7 Pro to transcode your "master" export out of FCPX (I'll usually just use ProRes 422 LT).
You need to encode the video with H.264. (Using QT7Pro:) if the video is 1080, then you need to set the Data Rate to 8 Mbps (Restrict to 8000 Kbps); Keyframes Automatic; Frame Reordering off; Optimized for Streaming; Best Quality (Multi-pass Encoding).  Audio: format AAC; Rate 48kHz; (I use) Variable Bit Rate encoding with a sampling rate of 192kbps (typically - anything from 128 to 384). The last step you have to set up: Prepare for Internet Streaming: Fast Start.  As a matter of habit (since this step seemed to make a difference a couple of years ago) I'll go into the Size options and check the Preserve Aspect Ratio by using: option and select Letterbox from the options. [I prefer using QT7Pro because there are less things to screw up. I've never had *satisfactory* success with Compressor — I'm always getting into things that complicate the procedure.]
Anyway, if you get the numbers under the limit, the upload to youtube is faster, it's "ready" right away (almost as soon as it's uploaded) and you'll get at least what you expect to get (what you see before uploading.) Compressing some types of video (usually high contrast/high action) down to 8Mbps is going to cause problems you'll just have to live with.
YouTube has an encoding requirements guide here:
https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/1722171?hl=en
but it's for PC people... you do not need the .mp4 container, .mov is just fine (been using it for years).

  • How can I upload a captivate project to YouTube?

    I am using Captivate 3, and created a demo project I publish this to our FTP, and it is working great. Now we want to send it to YouTube, but I don't know how. Can anyone help?

    Hi there
    The first step will be to publish as SWF and convert the SWF to a format YouTube understands.
    You might use Google and search for a free SWF to video converter. Additionally, if you have any interactive elements, those probably won't translate.
    Cheers... Rick

    In the labview\resource\appbuild folder their are some VI's that can deal with build specs! They return a variant containing the data!
    It's the reason I build a variant probe.
    Be aware that the build info is not present in th lvproj file of the built executable!

  • How can we upload the Time data into SAP system

    Dear all,
    ingeneral which method we can use to read the Time data and how can we upload that data into SAP system. Please any one can answer this asap.

    In the recent project that I have done.. the time data is uploaded from the external time recording machine.. in the form a file...
    The other way is through CATS... which in turn will populate the time entries as per hte work schedules... and will explicitly have to populate the deviations to the work scheudle by going through transactions..
    Please reward the points if it is helpful...

  • How can we upload test cases from excel to MTM 2013

    Hi,
    In my current project we are using Microsoft Test Manager 2013. We have prepared test cases in excel.
    How can we upload these test cases from excel to MTM 2013. I have tried with TestCaseMigratorPlus but it is giving some exceptions.
    Thanks,
    Naveen

    Hi Naveen,
    If you encountered any issues when using TestCaseMigratorPlus with MTM2013, please download this package uploaded at August 28 here:
    https://tcmimport.codeplex.com/SourceControl/list/patches which allows to use this tool with VS2013 and TFS 2013. Maybe it can resolve your issue.
    If you still can't use TestCaseMigrationPlus tool with MTM2013,as far as I know, currently there is no other tool for importing test cases from Excel to MTM2013. But we can highlight and copy
    all actions and expected results from Excel and then paste it to test case steps. For detailed steps, please see ‘Add action and validation test steps from Microsoft Excel or Word’ section in this document:
    Plan tests from Excel or Word

  • How can i upload more than one single file into a folder in the creative cloud?

    how can i upload e.g. 10 files out of a folder on my desktop in one step into a folder in my creative cloud?

    You can select multiple files in the Windows Explorer dialog using the Ctrl key, or in Mac OS X Finder using the Cmd key. Once you have multiple files selected just click the upload button. Or use drag and drop from the desktop to the browser.
    If you are using Internet Explorer it does not support multiple file upload. This is per design by Microsoft.

  • If I have more than one library, how can I upload all photos to iCloud??

    I have a couple of different iPhoto libraries. Now that I've upgraded to photos, I am using iCloud and it is currently uploading all the photos & videos from the library Initally opened. How can I upload the other libraries into iCloud?  Will they automatically upload once I use the option key and open the different library?? 
    Also, does Photos need to be running for things to upload to iCloud?
    Thanks!
    Kristin

    See the quote below from Designate a System Photo Library in Photos - Apple Support
    iCloud and the System Photo Library
    You can use iCloud Photo Library, iCloud Photo Sharing, and My Photo Stream only with the System Photo Library. If you choose a different library in Photos without designating it as the System Photo Library, the iCloud tab in Photos preferences is disabled:
    If you designate a new library as the System Photo Library and then turn on iCloud Photo Library, the photos and videos in the new library will merge with those already in your iCloud Photo Library. If you want to keep the contents of your photo libraries separate, don’t turn on iCloud Photo Library for more than one library in Photos.

  • TS4124 Hi, do you know how can I upload inelegible songs from itunes to Icloud. They are songs added from original CDs. Another question would be how can I transfer all the music I have in my Ipod Classic to my Itunes or ICloud as I want to back it up.

    Hi, do you know how can I upload inelegible songs from itunes to Icloud. They are songs added from original CDs. Another question would be how can I transfer all the music I have in my Ipod Classic to my Itunes or ICloud as I want to back it up.

    Depends on why it's ineligible.  If it's under 96 Kpbs, try right-clicking on the file and choosing Create AAC Version.  (If you don't see this option, go to iTunes>Preferences, click "Import Settings..." then choose "Import Using: AAC Encoder" and "Setting: iTunes Plus".)  Then rescan your library to see if this version will add to iTunes Match.  Or, after changing your import setting, just re-import the song to your iTunes library.
    If the song is over 200 MB you would have to reduce it's size to make it eligible.

  • How can I upload .pdf file from Mac to iPhone or is there an app for that?

    How can I upload a .pdf file from my mac to iPhone 3G?
    Or is there an app that will allow me to that?
    Thanks in advance
    Zia

    The app called "Air Sharing" allows you to do that. Connect to a wifi network, run the program and you can mount your iphone as a drive using Finder. Upload all the PDFs you like, and you can open them from within the Air Sharing app. Also, you can view most image files, most office files, etc.

  • How can I upload my photos from my iPad to a memory stick I have an adapter that takes memory cards to download to iPad that has a USB socket but can't find anywhere on iPad to instruct it to do this?

    How can I upload my photos to a memory stick from my iPad

    You can't do it directly from your iPad, the camera connection kit only copies photos/videos to the iPad's Photos app, it can't be used to copy them off.
    You can copy photos to a computer and from there to the memory stick : Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC.

  • HT204264 How can I upload older photos without metadata into Photos?

    I have older photos that I would like to upload to my Photo's iCloud library but it will pop up with a message saying there is no metadata. How can I upload my older photos?

    I worked in IT on the university level for four years so it's really frustrating to see more safeguards in place in a public school district any university. If we're trying to teach these kids to be ready for real life and then block out and don't let them use half the technology they're going to encounter in real life, well I just don't get that. But that's another rant for another time.
    How I do it is I save all of the photos my students scan onto my external hard drive, then transfer them to my personal computer and upload them to dropbox using Dropbox for windows (or whatever the desktop application is called) . I then have my students go to dropbox.com on the iPad, login as me, and go through each photo, saving each to the iPad as they go.
    I should have said upfront that when I try to connect the iPad to my personal computer it charges the iPad but won't recognize under my computer or show up in iTunes, so I am unable to see any of the data on it. I'm pretty sure it's not the 30 pin connector that's malfunctioning because I've tried with two of them. I can only check if it registers with iTunes on my personal computer because I can't download iTunes on school computers since I don't have administrator privileges

  • How can i upload two different logos for 2 sub sites [which falls under one super site ] in share point 2013 ?

    hello,
    How can i upload two different logos for 2 sub sites [which falls under one super site ] in share point 2013 ?
    thanks,
    Jay

    Hi,
    I understand that it applied first logo to all other sub sites.
    Please make sure that you change the logos in the subsites.
    If we change the logo in the root site, the logos in the subsites will be changed at the same time.
    However, we can change the logo in the subsites separately.
    We can go to a subsite, click the Site Sitting-> Look and Feel-> Title, description, and logo->Insert Logo->select a picture, then it will has a different logo than the root site.
    Then go to the other subsite, click the Site Sitting-> Look and Feel-> Title, description, and logo->Insert Logo-> select another picture, then it will has a different logo that the first subsite.
    Best Regards,
