Bad 360p Quaility On Youtube!! REALLY Bad!! Suggestions Please!! :(

[John Bean]

What do you mean by your video LOOKS HORRIBLE?

Are you talking about the QUALITY (clearness, sharpness, compression, etc.)?

Because from the looks of things, it appears you have setup your project settings incorrectly for ASPECT RATIO.

There are a number of ways to set the correct settings for your aspect ratio. Here is what I suggest:

1. In your PROJECT SETTINGS, change your Pixel Aspect Ratio to SQUARE (1.000). Leave your project as 1920×1080. Verify that your source media really has a frame rate of 29.970. My guess is that your source media has a frame rate of 23.976.

2. Verify your source media is being *interpreted* correctly by Vegas. Check the “media properties” for your source media (right click media and click “properties”). Check that your aspect ratio settings are correct. If not, fix them.

Based on the info you have given, it appears that you source media file is anamorphic HDV 1440×1080-23.976 fps with a pixel aspect ratio of 1.3333. Check the specs for your camera that you used to capture the footage. You can use an external checker like GSpot or MediaInfo to verify that Vegas has correctly interpreted your source media file.

3. Now in your Vegas PREVIEW WINDOW, your video should look fine. There should be no black bars anywhere. The preview should be 16:9. If not then you need to check steps 1-2 again.

4. Now when you render for YouTube, you can use any of the YouTube templates for 1920x1080p. Make sure the frame rate matches your project as well. There are YouTube templates for Sony AVC and MainConcept AVC/MP4. Either one is good.

For higher quality, increase the encoding bit rate. The higher the bit-rate, the better quality you will give to YouTube. YouTube does not define a maximum allowable bitrate. But I’ve done 16 Mbps successfully before.

Good luck!

“The Objective Is To Achive Better Quality At 360p.”

Most of the stuff I watch on YouTube is at least 720p.
The only reason to render 36p is if you’re on dial-up.
If you’re looking for a really good tutorial, I highly recommend “Sony Vegas to Youtube Tutorial – A Better Method”.
