Well, before I was just on FC Express and couldn’t choose just any sequence setting I wanted. So I was using MPEG Streamclip to make my source files match. But now, I guess I should always just set my sequence to match my source files and then export to YT using the preset?

Seems simple enough. Just wanted make sure there wasn’t anything else I should do to make it even more painless.

thanks for the help,

thanks for the reply.

i’ve managed to create a custom sequence setting that matches the resolution of my source files and so there’s no re-rendering necessary. so i guess i’ve got that part down.

but aside from canvas size, what’s the easiest format/codec to go with, given my final product? there’s just so many options there and it’s overwhelming.

is there any particular setting that’s going to cut down on transcoding time when using the YouTube preset in FCP?
