Optimal YouTube/ Sorenson Squeeze/ Avid Xpress Pro Settings??
 

Hello All,

I have noticed on YouTube that the range of quality is significantly different... I'm not talking about webcams vs. SD or HD video as the original source...

I was wondering if anyone would mind sharing some settings that have worked for them. I am cutting on Avid Xpress PRO and using Sorenson Squeeze 4.5 to compress.

Anyone have any suggestions to maximize my uploaded video quality?

Much appreciated!!! Thanks!

Whatever you use, its probably not going to look great as you'll probably be uploading a very compressed file and then they'll transcode it again to an even lower bitrate.

I believe they have a 100MB or 10 min limit on all videos? Just see what the highest bitrate is that you can cram into those limitations. For example, if your video is 2 mins you can probably upload a much higher res version than if your movie is 10 mins.

Hope that helps.
