Youtube HD keeps going wrong for me
Hi,
I’m trying to configure the proper settings to export a file to youtube HD. It was shot on HVX 201, in Dvcpro HD 1080 50i.
I’m exporting through compressor – H.264, keyframe every 20 frames, 3000 kbps, 44.1 audio rate. No matter what I do the image turns out very fuzzy in ‘normal version’ but clear in ‘watch in HD’.
https://ie.youtube.com/watch?v=8hvs7Y_kVfo
Is this normal? I managed to decrease the stutter by using uncompressed 8 bit sequence setting in fcp and a auto keyframe in compressor.
I looked around and saw other HD uploads that looked great in regular quality.
Hope someone can help,
Tom

You aren’t deinterlacing. Your ‘Watch in HD’ version is badly interlaced, then youtube’s servers are reencoding that and probably not doing a very good job. You need to start with a high qualty deinterlaced (ie progressive) file, then send that to the tube which should then get transcoded a bit better, but that part is up to them and not you.

Cheers for advice, but actually tried a good few variations where I de-interlaced (trying both regular de-interlace and tmts smart de-interlace) and these too were poor quality and showed similar problems.

But will give de-interlacing another go if you reckon it might be the answer

That one looks like normal YouTube video to me, and the HD option looks much much better.
When Youtube recompresses it, there’s nothing that you can do to control it’s quality, it seems. It just simply reccompresses your already compressed HD version. If you want a really good looking SD version, you should upload that separately, but youtube was never known for it’s quality.
