rendering music video

[Laura Tinnel]

It really depends on the quality of your source video. E.g., if your source is 720-24p, rendering at 1080-24p doesn’t really work. I’ve found that even when I film in 1080, 720 is generally sufficient for YouTube since it compresses video anyway. Viemo is probably different…

I found this online tutorial to be helpful for optimizing YouTube settings, although he claims his render time is really fast and when I tried it, my render time doubled. I’m doing a music video with multiple cameras and audio tracks, so maybe there’s the difference.

Glad I could help. I had the same experience as you, but interestingly, my video was available in HD almost instantaneously with the completion of the upload. That’s never happened before.

Here’s my video (uploaded all of 15 minutes ago:

Video quality not good — spur of the moment decision and we used a bunch of handhelds, including an Android smartphone. Going to do this again but get some better cameras in advance. And try it at a place that actually has lights on the performers. 😉

I’d love to see yours. 🙂

Thanks for sharing! The quality isn’t that bad for hand held cameras and a smart phone. We took the opposite approach 6 weeks in the planning, scouting locations, coming up with storyline, etc. We were using a canon 60D DSLR for the majority of the shots though the traffic scenes were shot with a JVC palmcorder strapped to the roof of my Jeep lol. This is my first time using Sony Vegas to edit but I think it came out pretty good.

Very cool! I like the slow motion. What did you do to get the effect?

I’ve been using Vegas Pro for years, but I’m all self taught, so I keep finding new features that would have made my life much easier had I known about them. E.g., today I just learned about bump maps.

I actually used my 7D for most of the shots, but there was literally NO light on the performers. All we got was ambient light from all the signs on the walls, so everything is red and grainy. Still, it met a need for them. I’d love to try a 6D some time. That’s probably my next acquisition. At least I’d like to believe that.

[Tom Rhodes]

Yeah, must have light

There are a couple of ways that I know of, film scene at 60fps and make project play back at 24fps. but I learned through this edit session that if you highlight a scene then right click and go to properties you can adjust the playback rate (<1.0 is slow motion >1.0 is fast motion)no matter what frame rate you filmed at.

Love to get my hands on a 5D mark III, canon sure make the best DSLR when it comes to Vidoe thats for sure.

Well if we’re dreaming, I’d like a C300… 🙂
