Best HD render settings for YouTube 2012
Works for Adobe Premier Pro, Adobe After Effects, Sony Vegas Pro, Final Cut Pro, Nuke, Camtasia + more.
My name is Tiger. I have so far uploaded videos to YouTube for several years. I've always taken quality seriously and I've really tried to learn myself all these advanced settings. With help from forums and professional video-creators, I've made a great render setting-template, specifically for YouTube. It's also very good for other sites like Vimeo, Facebook and so on.
The key is to match YouTube's compression as close as possible, which I do in this tutorial. I also try to explain to you what these different settings are and how they will affect the clip. Please enjoy this tutorial and if you like my content so far, why not subscribe and get notifications when I upload more videos. :)

This may be a nooby question.
So you see, you have this front picture on this submission on PMC, but how do you get that picture to show up on the You Tube film screen? I have tried many ways, but i always fail.....
And the another question, Do you recommend to edit Videos with Sony Vegas pro 11?
I don't use Sony Vegas. I did, but after some time I decided to upgrade to Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro. Sony Vegas is a great video editing program, but it doesn't have as many tools and possibilities as After Effects. Premiere Pro is more close to Sony Vegas.
It all depends on what you want to do. If you seek more advanced editing ad more control over the video image, I'd suggest you to learn After Effects and combine this with Premiere Pro. They both work great together.
If you just want to color edit with some neat effects, synced to music, continue to use Sony Vegas.
