Fast Start – Share to YouTube
I like using the share to youtube function in FCPX, but I’d like to tweak the compression settings. Specifically to use the “fast start with compressed header” option. Is it possible to change the compression settings or will I have to use custom setting and upload myself?

That setting is ignored by YouTube so not much point in doing this.

You know I thought so too but now YouTube sends me a message suggestion I enable fast start for any video I upload direct from fcpx.

Open Letter to YouTube, Vimeo, Telestream, etc.
Look companies making money off the public video revolution – this isn’t rocket science.
Put a recipe on your web sites for how the folks using the most popular software should set things to get the best results out of their software.
You’re already transcoding stuff to make it work on your timelines. What’s so damn difficult about testing output settings for the MAJOR NLES to conform to your distribution services?
It’s your channel. There are only probably 25 programs that create the lions share of video posted to your site. So how hard could this be?
Just sayin…

I found clear instruction on the Youtube site about what works. I found the compressor suggested Youtube settings was missing fast start, but you can duplicate those settings and then alter and save them to get fast start. I also set the bit rate max to 20,000 kbits/s so that 6 minutes is about 1 GB. I use the 720 P general settings for Youtube, because it plays on more systems without stalling. In the end, it seems to play well on Youtube, until they make the next change. However, if the customers don’t have the latest Flash loaded in the browser, it may not play on their browser. I like Vimeo better, but there are far fewer viewers.
I agree that Youtube could provide better guidance and a web search will generate much conflicting advice.

Youtube and Vimeo both give pretty good guidelines, and I’d like to follow them.
My real question here is how do I do a one step compress and upload with my own settings? Is it possible?
I’ve been using my own vimeo and youtube settings for years, but skipping the browser upload step is really helpful for me.
