  Youtube Video Sharpness at 320p

  Posted by Seth Haberman on October 28, 2012 at 12:16 am

  I know that there are a lot of posts about YouTube compression settings but this one may be unique.

  So I can get great quality on YouTube at 1080 and 720, however when I get down to 320p I can’t get the sharpness I want.

  The video below is an example of a YouTube video that looks VERY sharp at 320p. How do you do this? I have tried a million settings of h264 at very high bit rates and all the advanced settings listed on their page but cannot get the results I want.

  I don’t understand how this video is soooo sharp at 320p. I know that much of it was shot on a handheld Canon Handycam, not some really expensive camera.

  Here is a video I recently did on my T2i and uploaded through Apple Compressor with the YouTube Setting. I know that the video is underexposed but I am more concerned with getting the sharp video

  Any help??? I would almost be willing to pay someone to help me find this out.

  Use the High quality uploads for creators with enterprise quality internet connections settings.
  Keep in mind the quality is very much dependent on the source. Start out with a good camera and codec.
