Re: Sony EX-1 to YouTube Workflow

Since Vimeo and YouTube use 720p. I would switch my camera settings to 720p, if that is your only output.

I would invest in the new Adobe Production Suite CS6. The Adobe Media Encoder has presets for Vimeo and YouTube. It's really fast.

Final Cut is dead. Compressor is sluggish and outdated. It takes forever to encode. It mike take 20 minutes to an hour to transcode in Compressor and it only takes 5 minutes for the same transcode in Adobe Media Encoder.

It's worth the investment and a huge time saver if you do this alot.
