    Background render is an automatic render process. When the computer doesn’t have enough power, the playback may stutter, and you have to render to playback smoothly. It doesn’t have an effect on export quality.

    For YouTube, you can use H. 264 encoding, which is ok. The most important thing for you is the quality of the source music. You should download a WAV quality music from a stock site, and when you are making a new project, your audio quality should be at least 48 kHz or more if the source is more than 48khz.

    The quality of your exported audio will depend on the quality you import. Not much you can do to improve it, without being a recording studio engineer. Export as H.264 and you’ll have as good a quality as you’ll get from your audio. Don’t sweat the details. The example you posted has great audio quality, and I’m listening in a recording studio on great monitors.

    WAV is better than AIFF when it comes to music?

    Ahh, no, AIFF is only the Mac version of it.

    One more question does renaming or adding title of my YouTube music videos impact quality? I keep thinking it there is quality loss? I know it’s very easy but I’m trying rename and still preserve quality? Sometimes when I name title of video and save/export in FCP I add dashes or parenthesis to the title and when click to upload one of my videos on YouTube the dash is missing – or parenthesis ( ) is there a way to fix this problem?

    I don’t think naming affects the quality of the video. However, it is good to avoid using some characters in the computer world. Instead of – you can use _ and using non-English characters in some languages is not recommended. You can name the title as you wish on the website, of course.

    If you start with compressed video, exporting as uncompressed does zero to improve anything, period.
