hi all
can anyone recommend the very best way to compress for youtube?
most up-to-date info only please…
this is YT latest spec guide: https://support.google.com/youtube/bin/answer.py?hl=en-GB&answer=1722171
my project is 1920×1080 (p) PAL 25fps
we’ve been using mpeg streamclip and will try compressor 4.07 next
will be using 50k bt rate (50,000)
just checking we’re not throwing away any quality we don’t need to
thanks

And if the actual sharing doesn’t work, you’ll find the converted file in the shared folder inside the project using finder. Then upload directly via a browser. Makes perfect files in my experience.

When I open up the older compressor it also has a YouTube sharing function. Not sure how up to date those settings are though.

thanks again
do you have any opinion of mpeg streamclip?

Go to the Share menu.
Select YouTube.
If you’ve set up your YouTube account ID info and password properly – you click Share and a perfectly encoded version appears in your YouTube account.
Pretty much as simple as that.

Your settings look good and mpeg streamclip can get the job done.
One thing neither MPEG streamclip nor FCPX’s share to youtube doesn’t do is give you the option for fast start and compressed header. Compressor does.

I usually use compressor but I tried the share to Youtube approach. The video came out with these settings.
HD 720p.mov
H.264, 1,280 x 720 (1,248 x 720)
Audoe AAC, 48000 Hz, Stereo (L R
Data Rate 10.34 Mbit/s
29.97 FPSNote, the raw video was 1080i AVCHD. Of course the quicktime inspector does not show all the setting such as fast start for the internet.

720p scales beautifully to all sorts of modern mobile platforms. It creates lovely iPad & iPhone retina display images and great looking android and even older style cel phone deployments.
So it’s become my default. I shoot and produce in 1080 – but I typically output everything to 720p 24 frame for delivery because it both compresses and scales so well across my most important distribution platform, and that’s the internet.
FWIW.

FCP7 doesn’t have a share menu.
