  Canon 550D Best Compression techniques for Vimeo / YT

  Posted by Chris Wood on December 16, 2011 at 2:00 pm

  Just wondering what a good workflow is, assuming that I don’t do any editing or colour work, so plopping the video straight from the SD card onto the Mac, and then rendering it so that the file size is more acceptable to Youtube / Vimeo, while still retaining quality.

  If you have Compressor – It has good vimeo/youtube presets.
  Otherwise follow the suggestions from the sites.

  Youtube’s encoding FAQ is a good resource:

  There are heaps of different software to use for this… Compressor, Adobe Media Encoder, Sorenson Squeeze, Telestream Episode to name a few… There are some free encoders out there that may do the trick – MPEG Streamclip, Handbreak…

  H.264 is a good codec and it retains the video quality as per your shoot material.
  It’s a NATIVE codec from your camera, and it is good for internet purpose also.
  You just need to take care for the BIT RATE only.
  I suggest you for 1500 kbps.
