Am I rendering video with the best hd settings?

Postby Freewave » 04 Mar 2014 12:56

Hey I'm finishing up an important music video to me and I'm a bit worried that mp4 i'm rendering is not that great after the youtube encode (a bit more dark and pixely the the straight mp4). I want to make sure I'm using the best settings i can be and not missing a step in my vegas settings.

so I'm using 1920x1080i 601 35 mbps vbr mp4.

anything i could improve in my setting or is this really as good as i can get for youtube....?

Thanks for starting up this topic, because I don't know what format to render to without the file size turning out to be like 30gb in size. Which is frickin' massive and would take forever to upload and watch. But whenever I render to a small appropriate sized file type, the quality looks less than impressive.

Welp, even after watching the video on compression rendering, all the videos I render still turn out to be shit quality, but larger file sizes (the exact opposite of what's supposed to be happening)

I'm probably going to need a step by step tutorial of somebody starting up AE, choosing the project settings, and then rendering so that I don't miss any steps or find out that I've been setting project settings wrong this whole time.


EDIT: I had no idea that in order to get the best quality out of watching the video that uploading the video would do that. I guess WMP doesn't play the videos at their full quality D:
