Settings For Uploading Video
by Will
Over the past 2 years, filesize limits for uploading videos has really jumped up! Here’s the settings From Final Cut, I pick “MPEG-4″ for file type to export. Used to do the default QuickTime Movie with H.264 but MPEG-4 gives smaller file sizes that still look great (Nate Dern figured this out while he interned for ucbcomedy.com). All my stuff is widescreen, hence the custom height and width.
Here’s video settings.
For College Humor, which still restricts file sizes to 80mb, I’ll set the data rate to 1500 kbs. Or sometimes make the dimensions 400×225.
Here’s audio settings.
YouTube is the best experience. Upload quickly and is immediately available as a low-res file. Then in a just a few minutes the higher-res version is ready. Impressive and good-looking.
Any comments? Suggestions? Random nouns?

If you have accounts spread about on different video sites, I recommend tubemogul.com to upload once and let them push it out to all your accounts. It also has some nice consolidated reporting on views.
This isn’t funny enough. Punch it up, please.
