  • Premiere Pro CS4 & You Tube Settings?? PLEASE HELP!!??

    Posted by Michael Escobar on May 17, 2009 at 12:23 am

    Okay I am going to try and explain this the best I can. The footage I am using is from a new HDD Camcorder which creates AVCHD files to use in editing.

    I have tried every export setting I have found on the net and nothing gives me close to the quality I need to upload on youtube?

    In the intro of my video I have some still images that I have added movement to and they get completly pixelated when I export the video. I tweaked it around a little bit to get a have decent look on the intro but then it pixelates my video footage?? Can anyone please help me??? I have spent three days and over 20 hours exporting video a different ways??

    If anyone can give me the right export settings for you tube thatit would sooo greatly be appreciated… There is a combination of images, psd’s and video (AVCHD files) and I can only get one or the other to look decent when exporting it…

    I did get an excellent quality one to export that you tube could not convert??? Please help… I know the answer is out there!!!

    There are several different suggestions here: FAQ:What are the best settings for YouTube?

    Unfortunately YouTube is a moving target. There used to be information that would allow you to make an .flv file that would load directly into YouTube without re-encoding, but I believe that information is no longer valid.

    Your best bet is to make the least compressed file you can make that still meets the 1 gig file size limit and upload that. Don’t forget your audio compression. Don’t set it too low or you may wind up with decent imagery but ratty audio. I’d try 224k or higher if you can afford it (file-size-wise). 1280×720 is YouTube high def format, so encode to that size.

    It doesn’t have to be an .flv file either. Whatever format you can make that YouTube will accept that gives you the best overall quality will do.

    Basically, export as high a bit rate as you can get away with. We get the best result exporting as flv @ 2mb/s (2000 kbps) 720P (720p is the maximum resolution Youtube will display.

    >>We get the best result exporting as flv @ 2mb/s (2000 kbps) 720P…<< Does that allow you a 10-minute video at 720P? What audio settings are you using? Just curious.

    Hmm, should be right on the money. Basically, you have up to a Gig.

    Hey everyone… First I want to thank everyone for providing there expertise!!! You guys truly are the best!! Everything turned out great switching over to a flash file vs a quicktime file.

    There was actually only one problem? In my video I have a PSD file that is mainly transparent because it is a smoke file. For some reason it turns the entire screen/file red when it exports? Any suggestions or work around?
