Unfortunately, even the HD versions at YouTube are not very high quality no matter what settings you use. If you follow my advice you should get the best quality that is possible. The goal is to provide YouTube with a high quality version that will reencode well. If you really want to have high quality videos on the web, then you might consider using a different video service like Vimeo or get your own hosting and host your videos yourself.

I just uploaded a project that uses sub-bass frequencies (60-30 Hz kick drum) to YouTube using AAC at 24-bit, 48 kHz. The sub-bass stuff is terribly distorted into a fudzzy sound. Why is that?

What is the solution?

What settings are you using? I have a copy of Kelly Clarkson’s Because of You in 1080i and it’s bitrate is averaging around 16 Mbps. It’s only 405 MB and looks fantastic.

Hi all.

I am using adobe premiere elements 4. I have a 12 min video to put on a website for downloading. It was filmed in widescreen and says it is 720×576. I am trying to export as a WMV but there is no 720×576 preset. When i try to use the HD preset of 720p (25fps) the file size is 475.9. (1280 x 720)

I am totally new to this but does that sound too big?
will it take too long to download or is it ok?
should i just use the advanced tab and change the frame width to 576 (just type it in?)
If i change the bitrate to constant the file size is reduced to 60.8MB. Does that sound right?

Any help is greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance. x

Now that YouTube will accept both HD and 2 gig uploads, I’m trying to find the best encoding for Adobe Premiere CS4 using H.264. HD.

My videos sometimes approach 10 minutes. I’ve been told adjusting the bitrate will help bring down the file size. YouTube requires the files be under 2 gigs.

Do you have any “preset” you can give me that will work in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. I see lots of settings available, such as VBR 1pass. VBR 2pass, Target bitrate, Maximum bitrate, etc. So I am looking for the best combination tailored to YouTube’s specs.

Thanks

Rowby

@sunnyluvs2dream – What is the size of your source video? What option are you selecting from the Template drop down? The properties window you are on is the one you get to from File > Properties on the main menu?

I use Sony Vegas Movie Studio 8.0 and I want to place my videos in HQ or even HD but more important in WD and I head over to click on the properties. I try to change it to 1280×720 but for whatever reason it won’t allow me to go past 800×600. /: Why is that? Do I need to download some sort of upgrade?
