Teh best settings to export movie for Youtube

Hi alls - I made some videos, about 6 minutes in length, lots of clips and cuts, that use a lot of effects. Right now they are in DV size, at 29 fps (I think..but I'm sure it's not less). I would like to post these to Youtube, and I have been experimenting with the export options, but I can't seem to get a satisfactory outcome.
When I export at 12 or 15 fps, you lose a lot of the small, quick cuts, and the resolution I chose was really pixelated. However, this option had the smallest file size.
I started trying to maybe export it as if I was going to send it to my ipod, but then I started seeing different options for sending it to web, and I just got overwhelmed.
SOOOO, the question is, if you have a really effects heavy video with lots of cuts, and you want it to look really sharp on Youtube, how would you export it and at what settings??

Here are some instructions from one of the top experts:

  • What's the best settings to Export movie for smaller file sizes?

    Hi, I've been working on some helmet cam footage which was taken with Xvidmpeg4.avi and was advised to convert it to dvavi for editing in PrE, this created a huge file to work with, the original footage was 206mb and the finished edited dvavi file is now 1.56gb, what settings can I use to export the movie with a much smaller file size, but hopefully try to retain some quality, to upload to places like Vimeo? I thought I would try to export it in the same as the original footage Xvidmpeg4.avi thinking this might compress it again to something like the 206mb of the original and the original was good quality footage, but PrE just hangs up with a box stating 'Xvid Status (Not Responding)' and when I try to cancel that the whole thing crashes and closes? So when I go to File > Export > Movie, what would be the best settings in:
    General > File Type ?
    Video > Compressor
    lots of options under compressor if I select the file type as Microsoft AVI, so I'm guessing something under that would compress it to a smaller file size but what, I could spend all night trying different settings so hoping for some advice?
    Or, if I'm completely in the wrong place for the settings and should be doing something else please tell me?
    Thanks, Gav

    Thanks for the replies, but to me it's still confusing - simply because there are so many settings, if I go to Share/Personal Computer I'm then presented with a whole load of settings
    NTSC Flash Video
    MPEG
    DVAVI
    Windows Media
    QuickTime
    and under each of those is a lot more advanced settings?
    I'm guessing I wouldn't use flash or quicktime, so which of the others would I use and what are the advanced settings to use as I can't find anything that is .wmv or .mov
    What I've done with other videos that I've exported from PrE as dvavi is then to put it through Windows Movie Maker, Publish Movie, This Computer, then put the settings to Windows Media DVD Quality (PAL) (3.0 Mps) - this seemed to be the only setting that reduced the file size considerably but still had good quality, but it's still about twice the original file size?
    This all seems long winded to me, open original file, convert original file, output another file, then output the file again in something else which then results in loss of quality and a larger file than the original? I'm ending up with lots of files, was hoping just to edit in Premiere then export/publish that edited clip and that would be it, then upload to the net.
    Is it not possible to just edit my original footage and save it, just like you would with something like a word document, should I be using something else and not Premiere?
    Thanks.

  • What are the best settings to export video for Blip.tv?

    I have CS5.5 and Adobe Premiere Pro.
    Their suggestions are anything but helpful for Adobe:
    http://support.blip.tv/entries/344530-how-should-i-export-my-videos-fo r-blip-tv
    Thing is, I had Premiere Elements 8 and 10, which both had no issues with making and uploading MPGs, but Pro's settings are... well, I'd call them "messed up". Part of the issue might be that Elements and Pro ands unforgiveably disimilar in too many aspects (I'd argue 8 was functionally better than 10). Why are settings seemingly unavailable, or completely different? I wasted an entire day, rendering the same video in different formats, because Pro didn;t have the same available settings as I could with Elements 10.
    Regardless of my complaints. The question is still this: What settings should I use for esporting videos to Blip.tv? The answer never really gets answered over there, but I am asking there too.
    Ultimately, I'm sending MP4 videos, and they are absolutely fine on my computer, but are squished over there. So if anyone else has any more experience with Blip.tv, maybe they can answer it. They don;t seem to like Adobe/PC software much to care to give settings.

  • Best settings to export for the web?

    Hey everyone,
    What do you think is the best setting to export video to web? I export now using quicktime and once in a while (I would like to use it more often since its much easier) compressor. So what is the best settings to export video to the web without having it get all blurry? I also use an XL2 so the video is good.

    JB
    but I'm concerned about whether H264 is accessible by an audience outside the Mac umbrella.
    They need QT7 installed.
    You can get Flip4Mac and add WMV export capabilities to QT. I'm sure that with a little of experimentation you'll get good results and the needed component isn't expensive.
    Hope that helps !

  • Best settings to export to Youtube

    Hey guys, I upload 5-15minute videos on youtube. I'm looking for the best settings to upload to youtube. I'd prefer that my videos stay near top quality (1080p) while not taking too long to export/upload to youtube. Before I would export from iMovie to my desktop, which would take about 30minutes (6minute video) and then would take about 45minutes to upload. Anything faster than this would be great. Thanks so much guys.

    If your not using compressor you can go to Share Master File and then in settings select Web hosting (I dont have my computer with me so Im not sure if it says web hosting or web streaming or what, but its something along those lines), then you can select the resolution you want from there. As far as export time goes, thats all based on your hardware. With youtube your average viewer wont see much of a difference between 720 and 1080 because there usually wating it on screens under 22" and some viewers on slower systems may have trouble streaming 1080 so you want to keep that in mind. Vimeo automatically converts your 1080 videos into 720 during the upload and if you truely want 1080 you have to go back and have vimeo reconvert it back to 1080. They do this because some viewers still struggle with 1080. So if your looking for fast exports and fast uploads then 720 may be your best option.

  • Best way to produce video for youtube

    Hi all
    I am a newbie here but wondered if anyone has any tips for using PE4 to produce high quality youtube video. I am capturing HDV from a Canon HV30. (As aside if anyone has any questions about how to get the HV30 / PE4 combination to work, please ask)
    Exporting it directly to youtube using the preset in PE4 leaves me with decidedly inferior quality results. Does anyone have any helpers
    Thanks

    I have been tinkering with this problem for a day or so. Whatever commercial tool I tried didn't work. Results were still bad. <br /><br />Tnen I started playing with shareware and tried many configurations. Still junk. But there was one exception. With this tool, you should achieve good results.<br /><br />(1) Install WinFF at http://www.winff.org<br />Best of all, it's FREE!<br /><br />(2) Create a YouTube Preset for WinFF<br />After installing WinFF, make a profile specifically for YouTube. Just open Notepad and make a text file with the following code (copy paste between the lines below)<br /><br />----------------------------------------<br /><?xml version="1.0"?><br /><presets><br />  <YouTube><br />    <label>YouTube H.264 in MP4(4:3)</label><br />    <params>-r 30.00 -vcodec libx264 -s 640x480 -aspect 4:3 -b 2000k -acodec libfaac -ab 64k -ar 22050 -ac 2 -deinterlace -pass 2</params><br />    <extension>mp4</extension><br />    <category>Websites</category><br />  </YouTube><br /></presets><br />----------------------------------------<br /><br />Now save this text file as 'YouTube.wff' in the application directory (e.g., C:\Programs\WinFF)<br /><br />(3) Install the YouTube presets in WinFF<br />Under the menu item Edit > Presets, select 'Import' and locate the file 'YouTube.wff' <br /><br />(4) Select your video file for conversion<br />Open your high quality video in WinFF, and select from the drop down Convert to... [Websites] and submenu [YouTube H.264 in MP4(4:3)] <br /><br />(5) Adjust the video bitrate settings<br />The default video bitrate for this Preset is 2000kbps. In order to keep your file under the 100 megabyte upload limit, you will likely need to adjust this down, depending on the length of your video. Try not to go below 150kbps. Just enter a number in the Video Bitrate field.<br /><br />(6) Convert the file and upload it to YouTube<br />To lift YouTube's file size limit from 100 megabytes to 1 GB, use http://www.youtube.com/my_videos_multiupload. NOTE: This will still limit videos to 10 minutes length. But the more data you upload, the better the results. <br /><br />Overall, converting with this custom WinFF preset should yield better results.<br /><br />Good luck.

  • Best settings to export media to adobe media encoder

    Hi I am after some help
    what is the best settings to use to export footage to media encoder from premiere cs4 to adobe media encoder as a flash file.
    at the moment media encoder continually stops after about 10 minutes with 30 or more minutes to go.
    the footage is 3 mins long HDV and I have used after effects to key out the footage.
    I have tryed flash 8 and higher with the bit rate set at 900
    thanks Rodney

    It's pretty easy. Once installed, the Cineform codec becomes available to any video program that accepts new codecs.
    For handling HDV material Cineform products come with a program called HDLink with which you can batch-encode previously captured HDV .m2t, .mpeg, or .mov files OR capture straight to a Cineform-codec encoded .avi. The HDLink program also allows scene detection -unavailable when capturing HDV material in Premiere.
    It also creates a preset in Adobe Media Encoder which, for me, came in useful when I had an h.264 .mov that would not convert in HDLink.
    The more expensive Cineform products include an advanced rendering engine for Premiere which significantly improves handling of Cineform-codec material.

  • Best settings to export with least compression

    I am adding Denoiser to some clips in my project.  Best workflow is to add to raw footage, render out and bring back into project (to edit and render to final export).  I am working with AVCHD footage - 1920 x 1080 30 fps.
    What is the best setting to choose to export to with the understanding that I will bring the footage back into PPRO CS5 to edit and render for a second time?
    Thanks,
    Lisa

    Thank you Todd.  I went to your link and found myself a little bit lost.  I am looking for the "when you create a movie for an intermediate stage in a  post-production  workflow, it is usually losslessly compressed (or even  uncompressed). "
    Can you point me to a specific article or video on lossless settings for AME?  I found lots of information on your link, but not this. 
    Thanks so much,

  • Flash movie for YouTube

    I'm working on a Flash animation piece that will purely live
    on YouTube. I'm wondering what are the best Flash specifications I
    should work with to get the best results. The assets I'm working
    with are mostly illustrator illustrations and some Photoshop png's
    and other elements created in Flash
    Currently I'm using:
    movie size = 640 x 480
    frame rate = 30
    exporting = export > export movie> format, quicktime.
    I'm not really happy with the results, animation doesn't seem
    that smooth and the image quality seems diminished.
    Does anyone recommend changes to the above settings or doing
    anything differently.
    All feedback appreciated!
    thanks.

    Nope swf's don't work. To clarify the actual .mov is fine, it's just when uploaded to YouTube the quality massively diminishes. I guess their compression is pretty unforgiving. Any other tips?

  • Flash CS 5.5 - best settings when exporting to .swf to reach widest audience?

    Hi Flash experts!
    I am a 2D illustrator and am relatively new to Flash (and love it!) and want to add some simple Flash animations (using my illustration) to my portfolio website. But I am having issues when exporting to .swf - I have emailed on examples of work to friends and colleagues to view (and check) and most have trouble opening the .swf files. In fact most can't open them at all! Is this more to do with your average (probably a pc user) person not having an up to date Flash player or to do with my settings when exporting?
    Can anyone advise me on how to best export to .swf to ensure the majority of people can open and play the file? Is this a problem just for a newby like me or a wider issue you Flash superstars deal with?
    Eagerly awaiting your advice!
    Thanks,
    Lisa in New Zealand.

    It may just be that they do not have a standalone Flash player to play the file.  Your better bet is to plant the swf on a web page and send the link to the page instead of the file(s).

  • Best settings to export with Quicktime to 1080i

    I made my movie with iMovie.
    Now I want to export it with the best HD quality.
    I use +share - export with quicktime+ and then what are the best settings?
    thank in advance.

    It depends.
    If you are burning a BluRay Disk, use Export using Quicktime to Apple Intermediate Codec.
    This will produce a very large intermediate file, but you will not need it after burning your BluRay disk with Toast 9.
    Details:
    Share as Quictime...
    Quicktime Movie
    Compression Type: AIC
    Frame Rate: Current
    Compressor preset: Other. interlaced, top field first
    If you want to play the file on your Mac, or on a Sony PS3, you will want to create a more compressed file.
    Use
    1) export from iMovie using Share using Quicktime...
    2) select format MPEG-4
    3) select options:
    a) under file format select MP4 (not MP4 ISMA)
    b) under video tab select H.264
    data rate in of 18000 kbits/sec
    image size---1920X1080HD
    frame rate---select 29.97 (I am NTSC)
    key frame---select either automatic or every 24 frames
    video options---select "MAIN" profile and single pass encoding
    under audio tab select default AAC-LC
