My Video Looks Like….on YouTube
I’ve tried rendering my video NUMEROUS times on Vegas using a MULTITUDE of formats. Some formats are large, some small, though NONE of them show up well in youtube. I’m at the end of my rope here. I’ve watched tutorials and read a lot of forums to try and rectify the problem, but none of the advice seems to do any good. The best rendering so far is an mp2 file and it’s about 258 MB. The quality is significantly worse when uploaded onto youtube.

Hi Garren,
Have you tried mpeg4?
DSE has a Fantasic DVD on “Video for the Web” that you can buy from VASST. I’m no way trying to advertise for DSE, but learn from the Master himself and you can’t go wrong.Ralph Hajik

A-cut the cursing.
B-the higher the bitrate of the file as you upload it to youtube will generally cause it to look worse.
You say nothing about the content type, which would play a role. Youtube is going to recompress your footage during the xcode to Flash no matter what.
I’ve yet to see a 1280 x 720, 10mbps .mp4 video look bad on youtube, if the source is clean.Douglas Spotted Eagle

Try using the YouTube setting in Vegas Pro 9.0. Look under Sony AVC for the Internet 16:9 HD 30p template which has a comment that says, “Use this setting to create a high definition file suitable for uploading to Internet video sites such as YouTube.”

Hi John,
does this mean I would use “Sony AVC for the Internet 4:3 30p” template for SD… for Youtube? is this the best?

That’s what I would use.

Render your video so that it’s the same resolution, ratio and frame rate as the source files. The same applies to audio. You can change all this by clicking “Customise” when you’re about to save/render your project to a folder.
I personally render to .wmv format always since it’s compact but still great quality and YouTube likes it, too.
If you want a nicer image to look at: Up the contrast, saturation and gamma slightly. You can apply these effects to the entire project if you click the media FX button of each video timeline.
