Re: Compression for YouTube

Posted by Jesse Cowell PermaLink
Great article. I've found that the best way to compress for youtube is to keep playing with the magic 700-1000k range until you hit almost exactly 100 megs (the limit). If your clip is super short than even go way beyond the 1000k range - just stay within the 100 megs and you'll see a difference in the end result.

They are using one pass flash seven to encode so it's not going to be pretty compressed no matter what you upload, but maximizing the file you put in is key in my opinion. It's a little time consuming to have to set up multiple encodes to hit the right spot, but if you have an action piece with lots of movement, you are going to want to spend the extra time.
