  • Youtube Video Sharpness at 320p

    I know that there are a lot of posts about YouTube compression settings but this one may be unique.

    So I can get great quality on YouTube at 1080 and 720, however when I get down to 320p I can’t get the sharpness I want.

    The video below is an example of a YouTube video that looks VERY sharp at 320p. How do you do this? I have tried a million settings of h264 at very high bit rates and all the advanced settings listed on their page but cannot get the results I want.

    I don’t understand how this video is soooo sharp at 320p. I know that much of it was shot on a handheld Canon Handycam, not some really expensive camera.

    Here is a video I recently did on my T2i and uploaded through Apple Compressor with the YouTube Setting. I know that the video is underexposed but I am more concerned with getting the sharp video
