Default Optimizing Your Videos For YouTube

Optimizing Your Videos For YouTube
Important Facts on How to Encode Videos

1. Read How To Shoot and Edit Videos For The Web.
2. YouTube (newest) recommended settings are:

H.264, MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 format
640x480 (SD) or 1280x720 (HD) for 4:3 & 16:9 aspect ratios.
Frame rate should be the same as original video
Sampling rate: 44.1KHz for MP3/AAC audio

3. Your source video needs to be ideally high resolution. For instance: MOV or AVI file, NTSC 720x480, HDV 1080i, 720p or VGA 640x480.

4. It's very important that you keep an aspect ratio of 4:3 or 16:9, otherwise the quality of your video will be degraded. Flash 7 codec performs best when the frame width and height use multiples of 16. This is optimal for video playback.

5. If you want to fit the player perfectly, encode at these 16:9 resolutions:

1080p: 1920x1080
720p: 1280x720
480p: 854x480
360p: 640x360
240p: 426x240

6. You need to get a high quality video encoder. Keep in mind that most video editing programs such as Apple Final Cut Pro, iMovie, Adobe Premiere Pro, Windows Movie Maker or Sony Vegas, come with an encoding engine so you can export your videos directly from the timeline.

7. YouTube has updated its technology, and now you have the option of watching some videos at a higher quality or in HD 720p Mode. Read YouTube High Definition for more in-depth info.

8. In Hi-Res Mode, YouTube creates 2 new copies of your video:

448x336 pixels, Flash 7 video @ 900Kbps. Audio @ 44.1KHz Mono.
480x360 pixels, H.264 video @ 512Kbps. Audio @ 44.1KHz Stereo.

So now you're ready to watch the tutorials, try my recipe settings and you'll be on your way to optimize the quality of your videos for YouTube.

MPEG4
640 x 480 resolution
64k Mono or 128k Stereo MP3 audio
30 frames per second

Enjoy
