Canon DSLR —> Export to YouTube
I recently shot a comedy show all on Canon DSLR’s which runs about 25 minutes. I’m looking to upload this to the comedy group’s YouTube page. Unfortunately they do not have a Vimeo account so I’d appreciate any help! Some quick info is below to help:
1920×1080 24p
Converted to ProRes (LT)I tried exporting a QT movie from FCP7 and then bringing that into MPEG Streamclip but the file is still over 10GB. Youtube doesn’t like big files so is there any way to bring down the file size but keep full quality?
Thank you!

Use the Sony XDcam transfer plugin and export to XDcam.
Highest quality setting is 50 Mbits / sec, so that should give you a file just under 10 gig.
And its a fast export, and quality is concidered broadcast quality over here.
If YouTube does not accept the MXF, you can easilly re-wrap it to QT using the same xdcam transfer tool.Or use Compressor to go to anything you like, but the render time will be significant more. (But if your internet connection is slow that will pay of in the end…)

You should be able to upload a 10GB file to YouTube (I think the limit is 20GB). Depending on your connection speed, it may take quite awhile, but you can do it.
If you want to compress it to a smaller overall file size but retain much of the detail, then you’re looking at h.264 as your codec of choice. That can be tucked into either a mov or mp4 for YouTube.
Vimeo has a good compression settings guide with tutorials. The settings can be easily used for YouTube as well: https://vimeo.com/help/compression
