AE to Youtube
I have just finished a vfx reel intended for youtube(1 min, 200 or so mb), and the quality is great on my computer since it was hd footage. However, after I uploaded it onto youtube the quality was completely horrible. Anyone know why? I rendered with the sorenson 3 codec at low quality once then high quality a second time (for test purposes) with same results when uploaded online. Help on this subject would be greatly appreciated.

Youtube has jus (well inthe last few months) sarted allowing high quality videos on the site.
It uses flash players new capability to use .mp4’s as a source (much better quality) I did a test upload here: https://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=g4smHmXYh3o
You will notice that using these settings you can get the “view in high quality button”
That was rendered as an H264 .mp4hope this helps

Thanks for the information. I just have a quick question. You talk about H264 and mpeg4 (2 separate codecs). When I go into the lossless menu, which do I choose for the video type and which for the codec?

For Youtube videos, use Quicktime with these settings:
Codec – Photo-Jpeg
30 frames per second (or 24 if your project is at 24fps)
Quality – slider to medium
44.1khz audioRender out to 425 x 318 or Youtube will scale up your video to this size anyway, degrading the quality of your video somewhat.
By the way, h.264 is MPEG4 part 10, so they aren’t different codecs. In fact, you can create an h.264 video in the MPEG4 container, it outputs as a .mp4 file.
