Best quality settings for exporting video clips for the Web/Youtube etc.????
by Lightfield Lewis on Jul 3, 2008 at 10:07:07 pm

I have been advised one too many times that there is no definitive answer to this question but I refuse to believe it. When I upload my videos to youtube or where ever, no matter the length or quality they never seem to look as good as some other peoples.

I export my videos from Final Cut either with Compressor or Quicktime conversion, I usually do Sorensen Video 3. I have tried a bunch of others- H.264, Mpeg 4 etc but my clips are always still over pixelated and or dark etc.

WHAT IS THE SECRET?!!! Why can some people have even 10 minute clips look immaculate?? Can someone please tell me the best settings for web clips?

I am on Mac, Final Cut Studio2.......

Thanks in advance :))))
