PrE 10 renders and/or uploads to YouTube pixelated

This post may be a bit long, but I want to provide as much information as I can. To begin, here's the system data:
Software
Adobe Premiere Elements 10
Computer
OS: Windows 7 64-bit
Hard drive space available: 440+ GB
RAM: 6 GB (2 GB still free even while running PrE and Firefox)
Camera/How Videos Recorded
Model: JVC Everio GZ-HM320
Video format: H.264
Video bitrate: 17.00 Mbps
Size/quality: 1920 x 1080 (full HD)
Video system: NTSC
Frame rate: 29.97 fps
Format recorded: .mts
The Problem
When I upload the videos to YouTube (YT), PrE goes through the normal process of rendering them, then uploading. YT then processes the videos like it usually does. However, the result is a pixelated video. To determine if it was a YT issue or possibly on PrE's end, I tested the same exact video, uploading it using the Everio MediaBrowser HD Edition (EMB) software that came with the camera. It does not seem to go through a "render" process (at least none that it shows). Thus, if the problem is YT, the results should be the same. However they are not.
Sample Videos
PrE Version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSFTSUcq5lE
EMB Version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HW8JzZFXyKM
The video was fillmed in dimmer light, which the camera doesn't handle perfectly (it's not a movie studio camera). However, when you watch the two (especial watching the baby's right hand around time index 0:17), you'll noticed the PrE version is grainier than the EMB version. Just for comparison, here's an "instant movie" we did using the outdoor fun theme: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMqMKVpZZeQ. The only change to the settings for that theme was adjusting the volume slider so that the video's audio was emphasized instead of the soundtrack (didn't do that very well, but that's another issue). As you can see, it's quite pixelated, though it was uploaded using the same setting as the sample video mentioned above. My YT channel has other HD videos uploaded from the same camera using EMB for further comparison.
When I uploaded using PrE, I selected "High Definition Video for YouTube - 1920x1080" from the drop down menu after selecting YT. The settings it displayed that it would use matched precisely the video's default settings:
File Type: H.264
Frame Size: 1920 X 1080
Frame Rate (fps): 29.97
It seems that PrE does something when rendering the video that causes the heavy (or heavier) pixelation. Is there a fix?

I use the default settings for projects, which are:
Red lines? There are red lines over a small portion of the total clips, as seen here:
However, the entire thing is pixelated, not just the red parts.
I tried importing the files two ways: direct from the camera by selecting ""Flip, AVCHD, Cameras, Phones or Removable Drive" (the one for my type of camera) and by choosing "Files and Folders" where I had already saved the files on the hard drive (no chanes to them, just moving them from the camera to the HD). It made no difference using either method, the PrE project results were the same.
Regarding the lessons to which you refer, they are for PrE 7 and 8, two and three versions old. My understanding is many changes were made between 8 and 9, thus making 9 and 10 quite different. From what I've see, 10 added many new features, including the ability to work with a wider selection of cameras and more versatility in uploading to online systems (though it still lacks Vimeo as an available service).

Then it's probably YouTube - have you checked here to see that you're watching the hi res version? It could be that YouTube is choosing an easier version to display based on your internet connection.
You can see on this screenshot that although the video has up to 1080 specs, my connection is making YouTube show me the 360p version by default.

Is it better to output t master file and then upload to youtube?

I had to upload 33 videos to youtube today
This has taken tooo long
Just wondering, is it better to create a master file and then upload to youtube?
I could maybe just copy the files to another machine and leave it to upload?
Thanks
Omar

just to add:
don't try to upload your Masterfile to YouTube!
usually, the Masterfile is a copy of the projects timeline = proRes.
that creates incredible large files = time for upload, wasting bandwidth, and YT will complain 'wrong settings'
After saving a masterfile, which goes fast, you should use a 'Converter' of your choice (QuicktimePro, Mpg Streamclip, Compressor) to transcode into YT's recommended upload settings.-

FCPX upload to youtube in 1080, but showing up on youtube as 720

I have been using the direct upload to YouTube feature on Final Cut Pro X now for several months and I have never had an issue until now. Today I went to upload a video like I always do, in 1080, and after uploading to YouTube the quality is only showing as 720. Why in the world is this going on when it has always shown up in 1080 for a while now. Could this be an issue on the YouTube side, or is it problem on my end?

both of your videos are avail in shiny 1080HD:
so,< Yoda's voice > patience you must have, young padavan!
YT needs a while to process higher res.
when I upload my 720p project, I can see: first 360 avail, then 480, finally 720 ....

APE 7 best file format to share for later upload to YouTube?

i capture on a Canon FS11 in standard definition widescreen PAL an use adobe premiere elements 7. i generally trim clips and put a title on, maybe adjust the sound level before uploading to YouTube.
Occasionally I have internet connection problems when sharing from APE7 (eg due to slow or intermittent wifi) and it hangs. Or i edit clips when out and about say on a train and have no reliable upload at all.
So I would rather share clips to save on my hard drive and then upload to youtube manually later when hooked up to a stable wired commection.
What is the best format/settings to save/share to my hard drive that will achieve best qaulity when uploaded to youtube and converted there. I am aware there is a trade off between quality and file size and i should like to find the best compromise with a smallish file size.
thanks for your help in advance

Any way to avoid Pre-Rendering?

Hello Community,
So I've been working with adobe audition since 5.5 and have upgraded as the updates came out.
The music I've been making usually consist of 10 to 15 tracks, 32-bit (float), and 192000 Hz.
The only way for me to edit without hearing pops and crackles is to pre-render everything. I have the task manager up while I work and it doesn't look like my CPU is being worked that hard. I have an i7-4930k overclocked to 4.5Ghz, 32GB of RAM at 2400 mhz, the OS is on a RAID-0 configuration, Audition is on a separate SDD and I have the footage on another HDD.
I was wondering if there was a way for me to avoid pre-rendering and still not hear the pops and crackles.
Do I need a sound card to avoid this?
Am I rendering my audio with bad settings?
Is my drive configuration not optimized correctly?
Thanks for the help,
Arren

Is this music for bats? You are asking the streaming system to do at least twice as much work as even a hopeless optimist working at 96k would, and even they are recording nothing but noise on half of their disk space!

The bit I bolded frightened me most. Are you seriously trying to use on-board sound to sample at 192k??? That's positively insane! On-board sound devices are of incredibly poor quality, and almost certainly don't run natively at this rate anyway, so there will be on-the-fly resampling going on. This wrecks the sound quality beyond belief.
Humans can hear (if they're really young) up to about 20kHz - this figure drops considerably in adults due to presbycusis. To sample audio past the highest point humans can hear requires a sampling rate of no more than 44.1kHz. There used to be arguments about higher sample rates 'sounding' better, but with modern sound devices that oversample rather than using brick-wall filters, there is absolutely no benefit whatsoever to going beyond this. And the sample rate only affects the highest frequency that can be recorded (half of the sample rate, known as the Nyquist frequency) - doesn't alter anything else to do with 'quality' or anything else.
What it does mean though is that you can spare your drives a lot of hard work. The reason that you are hearing clicks whilst the computer's only ticking over is simply because you are trying to stream four times as much data as you need to. The other thing I discovered recently is that over clocking is sometimes detrimental to system performance in strange ways. If the processor isn't working hard then you simply don't need to over-clock it - you're just warming it up more!
If you are going to do any serious work with Audition at all, you need an external sound device, yes. The quality of these, even the cheaper ones, is significantly better than any on-board device.

Profile File Invalid" and can't upload to Youtube form Elements v.4- ????

Problem with Adobe Premiere elements v.4 running on vista. When I try to upload directly to youtube I get a message" ! Profile File Invalid" and can't upload. I have to save the file to PC then upload. Can you help?

As Steve points out, YouTube made major changes to their accounts and the handling of those, when they partnered with Google, about the time that PrE 7 was in full-swing. It is likely that they have made more changes, so even PrE 8's direct upload might now be obsolete.
Now, PrPro has some great (for the moment) YouTube Presets for Export, it does not have that direct link for uploading, that PrE does. Still, either program should be able to do the Export/Share to a YouTube-compliant file, that can be manually uploaded.
Just be aware that YouTube changes their specs. very often, and that they will also re-encode anything that you upload. I always recommend that a user check the published specs. for files on a monthly basis, just to see if YouTube has made a major change, that might affect the specs. of the files that they want - at that moment in time.
YouTube is a "moving target," in many ways. They are so dynamic, because they are still defining that niche on the Internet.
Good luck,

Mpeg, flv, merging, rendering, & uploading to youtube

my first video upload to youtube, made with a Canon 5D Mk II -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LI1sDaI0YgE (caution: PG-13) -- was practically out-of-the-camera.
in my second video (made during the same photoshoot), i deleted the in-camera audio and dubbed in audio from a Zoom H4n (it's underneath the handkerchief, atop the couch and between the two models).
i also added a music soundtrack underneath the models' narration. but, try as i might, i could not find a "merge" function in the drop-down menus or by right-clicking in various place on the timeline.
i converted the .prel file to an mpeg (which seemed to be the only conversion option), and its size is less than 1/2 GB.
but, because the mpeg seemed quite choppy in playback (and not knowing whether this was merely a problem with my playback software [Quicktime, Windows Media Player, IrfanView, etc]), instead of going to youtube's site and uploading the mpeg file, i used the Pre Elements 7 "export" function directly from the prel file. this took only about 10 minutes. however, the file (which youtube says is now .flv) has been "in processing" for the past 36 hours(!)
i'd like to doing a merge with the underlying prel file, and see if that helps.
how do i do this?

Let's do a bit of background work first.
The .PREL file is but an XML database of the Project in PrE. It contains zero media. It only contains links to the media used, and instructions on what to do with it. That is all. It can only be used in PrE, or with a few exceptions, in PrPro. It can be opened in an XML, or word processing program, but all one can do in either is view, or edit those links and insturctions - nothing else.
Now, with that .PREL file open in PrE, and the media available and in the exact location that it was, when the Project was last saved, you CAN edit with it.
The output will be a media file, not as a .PREL (though you will want to save that, if work has been done, so you can come back to that Project later). The format of that output (either Export, or Share), will be of your choice, per your needs. It will likely be something like an .AVI, .MOV, .MPEG or FLV file, and can be played on an appropriate player. The Export/Share must be done, to get the Project into a "container," that can be used by other programs.
For your Canon 5D MK II, your files are in .MOV format, but with a few differences, compared to many .MOV files. There are several useful discussions on the Adobe Premiere CS4 forum, regarding those particular .MOV files. A search on "Canon 5D MK II," and variations, will yield about six, IIRC. They will be very informative.
Now, in PrPro (PrE's "big-brother") I've edited sample 5D MK II .MOV files, as a test for others. I have not tried with PrE, so do not know the limitations. However, Steve's rec. to convert outside of PrE is a good one. I do this for most non-DV-AVI Type II material. Note: with the exception of tests for others, I only edit SD material, so I do not work with all of the HD formats and CODEC's. QT Pro does a good job, when starting from .MOV and .MP4 formats, with many common CODEC's, that are used in those files. I use it as a conversion tool for much work. It is much more than just a "player."
As for the "merging" of the Audio, that is done by PrE. Basically, when you Export/Share, PrE downmixes all Audio to a single Master. In PrE, this WILL be a stereo downmix. The exact format/CODEC of that downmix will depend on the settings of your Export/Share. To get an idea of this, open up Window>Audio Mixer. You will see all of your Audio Tracks, and will also see the Master to the far-right of that Panel. That is your downmix. While there are other ways to adjust the Audio Tracks for that downmix to the Master, I use, and recommend that one use, the Audio Mixer for the final settings in the downmix to the Master. It allows for some automation (at a Track level) and also almost infinite control. I keep it open in all of my PrPro Projects, and would not be without it. Take a look at it, while you play, and you will see a visual representation of you downmix to the Master.
Hope that this helps.
Good luck,

Rendering + uploading to youtube

Can someone explain the rendering process and how best to make it work
I create a project. Everytime I make a change, the video has to re-render. OK, I get this
The problem is, I'll make a change...
I'll come out of the project and start editing the new project - the first project hasnt stopped rendering yet
I'll create anothe project, then another, then another etc
If I go back to the first project some time later, I will find that it hasnt finished rendering
What should I do? Can I mass select projects and set them to render?
If I select 'render all' from within a project, does that then render all projects outstanding - even ones outside?
How can I control this? Can I leave the rendering until I've finished everything??
Since, the rendering eats up CPU and power - I assume?
I've experienced the app not responding when double clicking something - I assume this is because it's caught up processing?
Youtube: I edit projects and want to just upload
It's frustrating, since the uploading process seems to be cumbersome
+ I have to wait for rendering to finish
Can I choose: mass render, then mass upload to youtube?
Thanks
Omar

Whatever you export from your timeline has to be rendered, but you don't need to explicitly render it yourself. FCP X takes care of that.
If you have projects sitting around that you are not working on, there is no point in getting them all rendered. This would create render files that will be occupying disk space.

I movie w/ spliced pics throw off movie when uploaded to youtube? The pics lag and is now off with the audio. Doesn't happen with video, just pics and it's worse if I splice the pics to fit audio. Suggestions?

This is really annoying. I movie hd works well when compressing it to quicktime and uploading to youtube but when there's pics involved and I have to slice them to fit audio it messes with the timing in conjunction to the audio. Any ideas? It works fine in quicktime when compressed but once it's uploaded to youtube it acts fishy. Even though it's fine in quicktime it seems to be an issue in I movie and how it's compressed or something.
I movie HD- 5.0.2
quicktime player- 7.5.5
Compression settings
compression: h.264
quality: high
key frame rate:24
frame rec: yes
encoding mode: multi pass
dimensions: 320x 240
sound
format: acc
sample rate: 48.000khz
channels:mono
bit rate:64kbps

That's fantastic, worked really well, just like you said. I actually didn't expect such an easy solution to my problem, thanks very much.
It had the added bonus that it allows me to import the files quicker than before to iMovieHD if I am editing them.
Thanks again

How do I save changes to the clip and upload to youtube as the correct saved file to show the clip as it has been saved?

After I edit an .mp4 to have a slow motion portion it does not play the saved clip as it has been saved when uploaded to youtube. Is this a youtube issue. When I watch the same file in quicktime it is is correct and how I saved it.

here is a link to a video that i exported from quicktime pro:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBbGRF0Z9_8
you'll notice the flashing color tints. that is from quicktime pro. the original video was a bit dark, i used quicktime pro to adjust the brightness when exporting, and this is how it came out. it will give you a seizure if you watch it too long. it does this to all of the videos that i export if i try to make the least bit of adjustment. using adobe or any other program the videos export just fine.
can anyone tell me what's going on here? apple's "pro" products are really getting worse and worse. if they want to be a consumer grade company they shouldn't advertise a pro product. and if they want to be a pro company they need to start supporting their products and addressing these issues.
any help will be very much appreciated.

AVCHD or MP4 for editing and uploading to YouTube?

Our company just bought a Canon Vixia HF R52 camcorder so we can shoot instructional videos, edit, then upload to YouTube for our customers to access. This camcorder has dual recording in AVCHD and MP4. The guy doing the recording and the guy doing the editing live on opposite sides of the country, so the files will need to be uploaded to a website for sharing.
Question 1: Will the AVCHD files be too large to upload to a file sharing site or is it better to use MP4?
Question 2: Which version of Final Cut can handle AVCHD the best, Final Cut Pro 4.0.1 or Final Cut Pro X?
Thanks!

4.01 predates AVCHD by a few years. You need FCPX. AVCHD is a better format than MPEG-4. If you're sharing the same media make disk images of the catds and upload those.

Uploading to YouTube, gives an error of format not supported. What can I do? I've used other editing s/w and never got this error.

YouTube gives me an error when I try an upload a 6 minute video using Adobe Premier Elements 13. I looked to see what other formats in Premier Elements I could save the video in and there's only the default format. No other drop downs appear.
I've used other editing software and never had this happen. Has anyone encountered this problem? Thanks

nicoleh
What version of Premiere Elements and what computer operating system?
What do you have for Timeline content that you are trying to upload to YouTube? What formats for video, audio, stills, graphics..?
In the YouTube feature of Premiere Elements what are you selecting for the preset?
Where in the process do you get the message about non supported format?
a. while the upload to YouTube is in progress?
b. during the YouTube processing of the video after the upload?
c. other?
Let us start here and then decide what next based on your reply.
Thank you.

The latest changes to the function to "Upload to FTP host" has rendered this useless - no point using a program like Muse if I can not easily and automatically upload the work to the webserver!

The latest changes to the function to "Upload to FTP Host" has rendered this useless - no point using a program like Muse if I can not easily and automatically upload the work to the webserver! I use BlueHost webhosting that has a primary domain and I have several domains with that account (as sub-domains or folders on this server) - with past versions of Muse when uploading pages it simply opened an alert window to tell me (what I already know) that the website I was uploading does not point to the primary domain BUT NOW Muse tries to create a new separate folder in the root directory of the primary domain - completely ignoring the directory path I am giving it - useless! Why make these senseless changes to the program - and so often - very frustrating it is like amateur ware!.

Hi Stephen,
There are some issues with the upload to ftp via Muse, which the engineering team is aware of and those will be fixed in a future build of Muse. At this point the work around would be to export the html from Muse and then upload via some third party ftp client like filezilla.
I will recommend that you keep an eye on our release notes page to get more updates on it - Release notes | Adobe Muse CC
