View Full Version : Youtube Matthew Amirkhani July 7th, 2007, 12:09 PM Hi All, I have 7 minutes footage that I like to put up on Youtube. What is the best way to compress it in Vegas? Thanks Matthew Hugh Mobley July 7th, 2007, 02:49 PM on a clip that long I convert my mpeg2 to a mov. file, an mpeg2 might load but most likely too large of a file.

The rule we use here, is that if it has lots of gradient in it, MP4 is significantly better. If it has lots of contrasting areas/blocked color areas, 1Mbps WMV works slightly better. Unfortunately, all encodes are not created equal. Also, reduce color saturation by about 10% and you'll get a slightly better encode. Sean Seah July 9th, 2007, 05:58 AM nice info Spot! I've been trying out for Youtube for a long time but I cant cant get it right! Michael Vaden July 9th, 2007, 01:20 PM You'll generally find that YouTube likes 1Mpbs mp4 better than it likes WMV.

By the way, enjoyed your Vegas 6 book, even though I have Vegas 7. It was a good purchase. |
