So You Made a Video for Youtube, Now What?
Jan 29th
So you just finished filming that super awesome video you plan to stick right in your Youtube account. You’ve shot it, edited it, and now you are about to upload it, but then you suddenly think: what is the best aspect ratio for my video for youtube?
It’s not that simple, friend. There are more things you need to do than just fix the aspect ratio. So here, in the rest of this article, are the things you will need to do before you put up your video to youtube’s public eye.
Aspect Ratio & Resolution
YouTube has two different ratios, one for regular quality and one for High Def.
- Regular quality uses 4:3 ratio, and the best size is 640×480. This will allow it to be halved to 320×240 and keep a lot of the video quality.
- High Definition uses 16:9 ratio, and the best size is 1280×720.
If your resolution differs, remember that Flash’s FLV codec works best if you use multiples of 16 for the size of the video.
Sound
Sound is another thing that you will have to watch for to optimize load speed and sound quality.
- In Regular quality, the sound will be compressed to 22.050kHz mono
- In HD, the sound will be made CD quality at 44.1kHz stereo
Codec Choice
Youtube recommends the H.264 codec by Apple.
