Travis, I watched your promo trailer again (still loved it) and wondered why nothing I've ever posted to YouTube (or Google for that matter) ever looked that good .. mind you, I've only tried a couple of times

What's your secret?

That's funny, I didn't think it looked all that great. I don't really have a secret, I just export a Final Cut Pro movie from FCP, then pull that into Cleaner 6 and use the "medium" setting for the WMV export. I then upload that to YouTube and they do their own compression.

My WMV file looks MUCH better than what's on YouTube, but YouTube is just so easy for people, and it's more likely to get forwarded on I think.

If you have any other questions, just let me know.

youtube says what format will produce the best quality onto youtube...
* MPEG4 (Divx, Xvid) format
* 320x240 resolution
* MP3 audio
* 30 frames per second
i assume the compression wont be as dramatic if you upload with this format

Great info. Thanks for posting that!
