I just did my first YouTube project…
“Let’s Play Drums” First Drum Solo in 27 years
Please review it at…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTDiUSW0QkMI would appriceate any comments and suggestions on how to improve the video quality on YouTube.
We are still using Vegas 5.0 and used the 13 steps & settings below… as taken from the tutorial at…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03p3UlvkAT41 – Click File | Render As
2 – Select – Render as a wmv file
3 – Click Template & select 1 mbps
4 – Then select ‘custom’ to the right
5 – Then select “video Rendering Quality” as ‘Best’
6 – Then click ‘Audio’ tab at bottom and click on ‘Atributes’
7 – and select 128 kbps 44 khz
8- Next click on the ‘Video’ tab at the bottom
9 – and make sure ‘frame rate’ is set to 30
10- and image size is set to ‘Animation 320 x 240’
11- Video Smoothness at bottom should be set to 100 for the sharpest
12- bit rate should be at 1M = best for Youtube
13- Save & it will renderWe need to make the software we have now work as good as we can as we can’t upgrade to the new Vegas right now.
Thanks for any comments or suggestions.

That’s about as good as Youtube gets. You were wise to have a black background and not a moving stock video. You can see how Youtube handles and desecrates a video especially when you have allot of fast busy motion vs. a video which has a minimum of motion. A good example of what Youtube destroys and what looks fair can be found at my Youtube site https://www.youtube.com/user/AvantiVideo My Ozzy Osbourne video got killed whereas the Sharpies and others came out better. You can also compare my Youtube videos to the same but much higher resolution videos on my website http://www.avantibiz.com

You’d have been better off without black as your background, simply by means of how an encoder works, and the noise that black generates in a DV stream, but outside of that;
Use the largest format that file size allows, ie; 640 x 480 is better than half that, unless of course, the larger frame causes the file to be too large.
You can compensate for the loss of brightness that YouTube creates by adding brightness, using either Curves or Brightness/Contrast plug.
Use the Black Restore plug to flatten out your black background.Douglas Spotted Eagle
