    What format do you use?
    I am helping a friend upload a file. We had it in MOV and AVI format
    but those files are HUGE! It was literally taking hours to upload
    [one estimated over 20 hours! for 18 minutes]
    So
    I tried the Mpeg4 - Much smaller. Quicker Upload
    but . . of course the video looks fuzzy and out of focus. . . .

    I am using Adobe Premeire Pro CS5.

    Looking for tips to make the MPeg4 not so fuzzy and pixelated looking.


    BTW - Post your videos if you don't mind.

    I'm not sure how to make your video better for youtube, but here are some of our funniest youtube videos. Somehow the best ones come from family get togethers like Christmas or Thanksgiving.

    Yoga Ball Smackdown!

    Update your status, click add photo/video, choose upload photo/video, choose the location of the file on your compute, click post.

    MPEG-4 is the best. Your settings might be a little effed up. Try to make it one pass instead of variable bit rate and make the bit rate between 3M-6M. You don't need anymore or for YT videos.

    It also depends on your video length dude. I do daily videos on YouTube and somedays the videos are a bit longer(anywhere from 1min to 20 min) and take a good hour or so to upload.

    Converting your video to MPEG-2 would also make for a good smooth transition to YouTube.

    I will check this as well

    I did 18 minutes and it said it was too long
    Then I cut it up into 2 parts. . but they looked a bit blurry

    Thanks. I will look in to the bit rate when I export it from PPro

    Is there a reason why you're doing YouTube?

    Are you looking to show the video to a client or maybe have it in the highest quality? If so, then use Vimeo. I believe Vimeo's Flash Player allows for higher quality and you won't lose the sharpness that YouTube gets you.

    Try VIMEO. If it's for business-related purposes, they have a PRO account type where you can remove the logos, embed options, etc.

    Here is the SAME VIDEO on YouTube and on Vimeo:

    XF100 Test on YouTube:

    XF100 Test on Vimeo
    <iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/23076486?title=0&amp;byline=0&amp;portrait=0" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen></iframe>

    Which one looks better? :) I played them simultaneously and I believe the VIMEO one looks better.

    VIMEO gives you a way to upload to them in a better format in all video software. :cool: http://vimeo.com/help/compression
