Hello,

I was wondering if there are any updated "recipes" for rendering video for Youtube. I know these settings seem to evolve every year. Please share your settings if you've found something that has worked great for Youtube renders.

Also, I shot a video with a lot of slow-motion footage (96 FPS). Should I use any particular render settings to ensure this still looks good on Youtube?

Thanks for any info and feedback. I know this has likely been discussed quite a bit before. However, I wanted to get the latest info instead of looking over old forum posts.

Some people use this technique: http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/forums/ShowMessage.asp?ForumID=4&MessageID=917645. Handbrake outperforms Vegas at lower bitrates...

In general, it is desirable to use the best possible quality with the highest possible bitrate. I recently usually use Sony XAVC-S with the appropriate parameters, and results as a whole I am satisfied. Of course, uploading and Youtube processing time increases significantly, but it is worth it.

Jerry, you might be interested in this thread on the Sony Vegas forum as it covers a wide range of formats uploaded to YouTube and the methods used.
