  • Macs are not the best editing system just you tube guys think so

  • apple is only for people there dont know what they are doing and just whant tings to work not knowing whats going on but what are you going to do when there is a problem?

  • What about adobe its on both!

  • What a propaganda for Apple.

  • I know this is an old video, but even in 2007, Windows was just as good for video than a Mac. There's no difference. Don't send the masses out to buy a Mac when they don't have to. On Windows, you want Sony Vegas. They have consumer versions for less than 100 bucks.

  • Using Quicktime to export your file is absolutely the wrong way to do anything. Thats like going over the stream to get water. using Quicktime will just make your encoding go reeeaaal slow and your files go bigger. So you have basically shot yourself in the foot.

    Youtube encodes user files as MPEG-4 in the H.264 codec at 30 fps and streams video in flash. Using Quicktime you wrap the MPEG-4 format in a MOV container which take time and space. So export just in MPEG-4 at 30 fps and you be good.

  • I'd get a mac to make videos, if I wasn't so keen on also playing computer games, is there a program you can suggest like final cut for windows? or can you get the actual final cut express for windows?

  • my image size only goes up to 352 x 288 CIF anyone know y?

  • The comment about Mac was really pathetic.

  • Mac or windows...

    Get Adobe Premiere

    There's an export for youtube preset

    Godspeed.

  • My comment AUTO encode them sefl I dont get it

    fdsfd

    WTF

  • if i don´t have mac available

    can i use burgerking instead?

  • Or download VideoSpin, you can upload it right away from the program.

  • dude save it on 1280x720! You got HD AND WIDESCREEN!!! *Yeaaaaaah!!!*

  • And watch your hard drive space DISAPPEAR before your very eyes :P

    FK

  • All I need is at 1:36

  • Great tips. Except for your bias towards Macs that is. I'm not against Apple, but comments like, "if you want to make movies, buy a Mac" make me cringe.

    The correct statement is, "If you want to pay more for ease of use and bragging rights, buy a Mac". Believe me, my PC will blow away any Mac in the world when it comes to performance. And performance is really all that counts when encoding takes hours and hours upon hours.

  • I agree - kinda. I expect with a Mac Pro you could get a better computer yes. But in the normal price range, I can get a Windows PC same specs as a Mac, but over twice as cheap.

  • thank you oh powerful indie moglelys!!!

  • fail

  • Great video, I'm struggling with a 10 minute mov file and trying to make it fit within the parameters of Youtube . . while driving myself crazy because this is almost impossible. But it's just a longer video so I can't expect much.

  • break it up into halves

  • That's what we do for the videos that are over 10 minutes. But the videos under 10 minutes . . say 9 minutes and a few seconds . . still have to be compressed at a greater amount, which never looks good. I'm not sure what program these other people are using to make their long videos look great, but it's not Apple FCP for sure. I think it's Vegas Video or something else.

  • PC's can replace girlfriends...see mac's just cannot do that. Mac's alway's make me go out and get girlfriends. Ok, just messed up promoting PC's.

    Just scratch everything I just said.

  • macs= moms ate children

  • LOL MACS. <___< PC rules you...

    Thank you very much for the encoding info though ... I wish youtube would find a way to make uploading multiple formats easier ...

  • Mac's are way better than PC's... I'll never go back

  • For all the windows users on Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 here are the export settings. Format: H.264 Frame Rate: 30P Field Order: None (progressive) Pixel Aspect Ratio: Square Pixels Profile: Main Level: 4.1 Bitrate Encoding: CBR Mbps: 5 ( this is tweakable ) 1280 x 720 for HDV camcorders 640 x 480 for SD Camcorders
  • you don't have to keep your file under 100mb anymore

  • hahahahahaha, mac, is better? now that is just funny XD

  • Mac's are nice and all, but so are good pc's. All this elitism is just silly.

  • He is not saying that Windows aren't good. Each Operating System have their own high-lights. In the opinion of many though, Macs are easier and better to make movies on.

    Trust me. I use a Mac and vdeo making is so easy and the outcome is brilliant.

    Have a try at iMovie or Final Cut, you'll love it!

  • I've used both operating systems, and the only real differences are in the users heads.

    Oh, and I prefer Avid over Final Cut.

  • i think he just means that PC's are good, but Macs are more suited for multimedia programs and projects. I personally use windows just cuz i can play games =), but i've used some multimedia on windows and macs, and macs usually are a bit more noob-friendly.

  • Maybe you should sort out your keying and get your stuff looking good before you try and teach anyone else about video.

    The equipment one uses to do a job is irrelevant, it's the result that's important.

  • and the result is affected by the equipment you use

  • macs are one the best things 2 ever happen <3

  • Fucking macfaggotry. Yea, I use Linux. I can do what ever I want to a video with Cinelerra, and I can install and Adobe product on it with Wine. Simple, fast, elegant. Yet so motherfucking manly compared to that buttpirate piece of shit they call Mac. Oh, by the way, nice video.

  • Screw Macs. Who cares about easy-to-use programs. If you have minimal intelligence, you should be able to use Premiere Pro CS3 on windows.

  • I have a pc with Premiere Pro CS3 and compared it to a friend 's mac with Final Cut and they were almost identical in what they could do. In the areas where they were different, Premiere was actually easier to use and had more functionality. It can also export to nearly any file type where Final cut is quite limited.

  • finalcut is not limited at all! you just have to know how to use it. You have to get detailed in the export properies of your video

  • Mac is known as the Graphics Computer used by professionals although there's alot of myths like that they don't get viruses ask a mac technition they do get viruses I have a friend with a G4 Ibook she has to have it repair because of constant problems including viruses. Mac comes with it;s own great professional style software for video. Though both macs and pc's have their advantages.

  • Haha What Sticky Said Cracks Me Up...WIndows Doing More Then Mac..

  • OK how do you get the "watch in high quality Button" ?

    I can never get that button to show up and this is the first I've seen it.

  • I think you got to get really high quality videos and YouTube do it for you!

  • U don´t need to geta mac.... If u send WMV files which are in good Quality there will show up a ``watch in High quality´´ link.

  • Eh....yea, My windows PC does more than a mac, with better quality. Doesn't cost 2 grand either.

  • im assuming that inslcudes getting viruse and crashing. Mac pwns out pc m8 there isnt any contesnt in it, end of discussion.

  • Thank you - I'll try your advice. It seems more like an art than a science but maybe this will help.

  • You know what im trying to figure out? Someone plz respond on this comment: you see the little picture that says "suscribe"? Like... how can you make those pictures there? Actually his icon thing says "Indy Mogul....DIY filmaking..... suscribe" How do you make them? I need them so badly.

  • you have to be partners with youtube, and that's pretty hard to get....

  • but how? I really want it. xD

  • you have to have tons of views, new videos every month, a lot of friends. I wouldn't plan on getting it for a while....

  • what are the best settings for premiere elements 4?

  • Thanks for the advice.

    However, I'm sticking with Windows Vista Home Premium, thanks. The reason I don't want a Macintosh is becuase, and this is a TRUE fact, they're NOT optimized for games or gaming. I should know. A friend of mine has a Mac' and she told me they're not encoded to play games.

    Once again, thanks for the advice.

  • You arrogant mac freak!

  • I have to say, from my tests it seems like a total crap shoot. I've done highest quality uploads only 4 mins long that have been max size for upload, and they've sometimes come out worse or little better than more compressed and smaller uploads. I've tried at least a dozen different settings through Quicktime pro, my Avid and I-movie, all on my Mac. Still cannot discern a clear, consistent, best way to get high quality.

  • this guy is reaaallllly animated

  • mac suck ballllllls

  • cool video but I will NEVER switch to Mac

  • Cool advice, Ive never thought about some of the other settings, lol. Im using a Windows Machine by the way. Eventually Ill get a MAC for video editing.

  • for video editing, its top notch. i used to edit on windows, and for gods sake, ditch WMM. if you can use Adobe Premier. Sony Vegas is okay as well. but honestly, dont pass judgment on the mac until youve used one

  • @ErgoPictures honestly don't pass judgement on a pc till you've used one that wasn't a piece of shit.

    I would never own a mac, the company is very closed in (meaning no upgrades) and overcharges for their hardware.

    The system I built I add an upgrade to every 2 years or so, and it is running well, with a mac I could upgrade a bit, but after a while I would just need a whole new system.

  • I use soney vegas pro 8.0 and they look better than these at 60mb...... Don't bealeve me check em out. This video is pointless in my opinion.

  • Hey KX125dude the name is Sony Vegas not Soney Vegas .

    Peace.

  • I followed these steps and got the worst upload quality do far. I stayed under 100,000kb and the video came out to only 6mb and looked like crap.

    please help....

  • Wow, that helped alot. Thanks!

  • your wrong...compress to 320 x 240 otherwise is extra information youtube can't use...and your data rate should be no higher than 2000 ...for under 6 minutes

  • very helpful! thanks.

  • A good ep! It was easy encoding on PC using VirtualDub, but I couldn't quite get the same quality with it's Mac equivalent, MPEGStreamclip. Now I can!

  • Sounds good to me...

    GREAT VID

  • why have i not heard of you before, i just looked at your other vidoes and there amazing

  • Sony Vegas FTW!!

  • good man... Macs rule

  • Very helpful. However, for Windows, VirtualDub is the best encoder I've found. Quite a bit more complicated than others though.

  • Windows Movie Maker is a decent program. If you can deal with all its weird quirks and just want to get from point A to point B, Movie Maker will do it. All of my videos were edited with Movie Maker (with some use of Adobe Premier on one). The most annoying thing to me about Movie Maker is you cannot import MOV files directly (you need to use Blink and Smacker or some other converter program).

  • hahah...windows movie maker freezes a million billion times for every video i make, its awesome because it feels like i acomplished something impossible.

  • macs r fail they are now just PC's for downies

  • ummm... say what?

  • lol i know right

  • Wow, I wonder if Mac payed him for this video. You macfags act so high and mighty just because you spent three times what we spent for something worse. Sure, brings up the lame excuse "MACS R GUD 4 MOVIES N CREATIVE STUFFZ". Not true, actually, Windows has more programs. Not to mention much more FREE programs.

    tl;dr? Windows not only is cheaper but better. Only idiots that cant use a computer would buy a Mac. (Sorry for generalizing but I HATE macs.)

  • Is it just me or does it seem like its a real effort for him to speak?...Like he makes talking look tiring...lol

  • so if i get a mac ipay more in the beginning then have to buy a program....

    but i can just keep my microsoft comp and download 2 things for free and save a bunch of money, and still get it working just as good as well as without any headache?

    mac is idiot proof. thats the only reason you dont get viruses..

    windows isnt. if you get the right programs (all free) you can get vista running excellent.... and i have yet to have any freezes

  • But Macs are faster, more user friendly for video editing and other creative projects so you would be using a great computer for longer

  • Speed is only relevent to your hardware and knowledge.

    Macs have nothing but pretty video editing software. Other than that, they're just internet browsers.(where half of the plugins aren't compatible)

    Like that guy under me said, only idiots who don't know shit about computers say Mac is better.

  • um...you can get the same specs for your PC with windows as you can with mac...really the only difference is the operating system and programs your using so it doesn't matter which is "faster" because both can the same. The only reason captain america indy is saying macs are better are because there are easier programs to use. If he knew how to use programs on windows better than on a mac he'd say macs are better. Malachite is right, only idiots who dont know shit about comps say mac is better

  • you're pretty ignorant pcfag

  • WHO WANTS TO BE MY 127TH SUBSCRIBER?

  • you are so cool. but i just found out your secret that you have joined an

    online ad*ult club Sugarmommymeet.c o m, by which you are seeking a handsome and charming men for extramarital relationship..

  • Oh no! My secret is out! What ever shall I do?

  • nice job you guys got featured

  • what a dork, ugly too

    at least I'm cute

  • HA HA I love this he keeps saying buy a mac! exellent!!!

  • You spelled excellent wrong.

  • NERD!!! j/k no but this is really cool :)

    watch my friends art right here

    watch?v=V77CkS2s_EM

  • wow its really neat that youtube decided to feature someone who is mentally retarded on the front page.

  • HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHA... I feel vaguely ashamed that I find that hilarious.

  • on mine you can just select highest quality and it looks better than this.

  • cool

    now how do i get views?

  • right lol

  • You can have it 1GB (1,000MB) with the YouTube multi-uploader, just search Google.

  • i thought you could upload 1 GB to youtube now?

  • Do yourself a favor and stop the mac fanboy crap. You could have made a much better video just by explaining the settings. I can export my video's with the same settings that you use in adobe media encoder. The better thing to have said was that you were unsure about how to do it on a pc, because you are a Apple Fanboy!! I am sure that using a mac is great, but there a a lot of people who don't have a mac. And Linux is not the answer either fanboys. Learn to use what you have.

  • or.... we could just ge rid of the destructive microsoft monopoly...

    and use other choices, that are better, safer, cleaner (in the sense that it doesnt look crap og feel like crap to use), and even free....

    or you could just keep your overprized, and overrated software and live under your rock and not embrase or explore other operating systems....

  • and what if I've tried linux windows and mac and prefer windows?

  • Why is it that with these people everything is Mac vs Ms vs Linux. Why can't someone just post a video without a bias? All these settings can be achieved with all systems(although linux I am unsure of.). Just give us the settings, like de-interlace, mpeg-4, increase brightness/contrast & use rgmb and Gamma correction, 640 x 480, or for widescreen 640x360, and as high a data rate as possable to keep file under 100MB, and use more than 128KB data rate for audio.

  • woohoo finally featured congratz rught after you b-day

  • steve ur the man man!!!!

  • forget mac! Trust me, ive tried bolth, windows is better, the end.

  • yay indy!! another feature =D

  • hey it rocks

  • umm bro. It does have colour. The only thing that isn't colour is the dude himself. And in all honesty. GTFO you elitest prick.

  • It's called a joke dude, calm down, guess you missed that...

    Hard to believe someone really could be stupid enough to think I was being serious...that's insane.

  • ...and about 70% of the programs running on Windows constantly crash :p

  • they did that because they like black and white it gives style to movies

  • fucking mac freaks...

  • fucking trolls...

  • I got over a 100,000 views in under two minutes on my latest video! Without using your over produced boring editing skillz

  • this is why MY videos look So good...

    /watch?v=NSeQERLmiXo

  • And, THIS spamming is WHAT isn't needed.

  • You arrogant mac freak!

  • INDY MOGUL FEATURED!

  • Very good video with very good tips. Im using Premier on WinXP so we still have some of the options availible to us.. Unfortunately switching to MAC isnt in the budget this year lol.. Thx for another great vid.

  • cool video man thats was awesome....thx a lot for making this video!!

  • poop

  • Applying the de-interlace filter in final cut doesn't necessarily make your image better. if you shot interlace often it will look better interlace. It helps to understand what each is... but some times the filter can help if there is heavy movement and you can see the lines of pixels not line up. though to do this it can also make your image more blurry, or at lower resolution more pixelated... Just in a different way. Don't always use the filter, play around with each video, and judge after.

  • If your video isn't already interlaced Youtube will do it for you. That's why it's always best to interlace it your self.

  • Use XILISOFT video convertor. It's free and it works. It can encode to Mpg, wmv, or whatever. Giid for Premiere Pro Users

  • or edit your video in WMM and save it in HD quality, upload it to youtube and tell in the discription to put &fmt=18 behind to URL to have HD in youtube too... this video was just a waste of time...

  • pc users can also use something known as ffmpeg but you'll have to pretend to be that awkward guy in the mac commercial

  • the guy talkin looks that he's truggiling to talk cause his teeth ar taht big

  • heh,

    sounds like he's permanently constipated to me

  • I think he just has difficulty talking because he's a Mac user.

  • I concur

  • lol a mac employee trying 2 get me to switch. NEVER!!!!!!!!!

  • stand strong my son :P

  • I just messed my pants

  • Iron. Do you know what it is? No? Didn't think so.

  • Very cool. I just dl'ed the de-interlacer. Rock on.

  • Macs have their place, as do PCs.

    On PC, you can do all this for FREE!

    Google AVISYNTH,Virtualdub,Doom9 forums,MEGUI.

    Use AVISYNTH+Vdub+scripts+filters, to make your videos look clean,sharp,etc. LimitedSharpenFaster, fft3dfilter, TemporalDegrain, etc.. for Filters. Export to HuffyUV AVI.

    Use MEGUI, encode your videos to MP4, X264, 640x480, 5Mb per minute minimum, 64k Mono AAC Audio Minimum. X264, looks great at low bitrates. My own test uploads are from 10-year old VHS, look quite good in HQ.

  • I totally agree... and I must say that Windows can easily do good videos. WMV works really well on YouTube.

    Adobe, man!

  • Anyway - he looks a little like the guy that was driving right on me on the Gliwice-Laziska road. But it happened quite fast, so I am accurate in about 30%

  • I have final cut studio 2!! im so good :) its what real hollywood and couple big companys use to edit

  • /watch?v=Q4XS77JbHDI

    Experiment with KNO3 And Sugar

  • I'm glad you did actually give a tiny bit of support for windows instead of being a FANBOY promoting the sale of OVERPRICED macs. Thanks.

  • id rather pay over the odds for a mac thats goings to last more than twice as long as your average pc.

    Theres just nothing can can even touch macs

    If you actually gave it a shot i garentee you wouldnt be clinging so hard to the disgrace of an operating system you call windows.

  • macs are expensive. PC's arent. You can do the same things on a PC for way cheaper then a mac.

    In fact my experience with mac's is that they die quicker. My macbook from 2007 is ready to be traded in. You don't find many people using those old imacs, hm? but PC's made in the same time are still being used; you can upgrade them.

  • Watch my video please!!!! Click on my name or type syrup & honey by moniefiero! comment & rate please! thanks all!

  • If your gonna make a video like this... Don't record while you have a cold. Your congested nasal sounding voice is the most annoying thing I've ever heard.

  • How about this.. If you're going to comment, don't be a jerk.

  • mac sux

  • is it just me or is he really cute? :]

  • its just you

  • This was really helpful. Good job.

  • lol 1:23

  • lol

  • WMM sucks in SOOOOOOOOOO many ways..........

  • why i dont use it but i was wondering

  • well it seems that we have a fired up debate below!whatever gets the job done suits me.

  • don't you find that bumping the data rate causes the streaming to stutter irrespective of the upload?

  • This helped none whatsoever for people with Windows.

  • oh yes it did..he gave you people the best advice of all...GET A MAC

  • hey buddy check the description it might just solve your problem....

  • buy a mac

  • Do settings for Sony Vegas, please. < )

  • yes please

  • Damn right about getting a mac. I love mine. And Final Cut is awesome!

  • Tell me about it Final Cut Is AWESOME and so is my mac!!!

  • HI, great website! I have a question. I have a Canon tx1 Powershot whish takes avi files 640X480 30 fps. Once I import it into imovie and try to export it once finished, I will not let me choose the 640X480 image size any longer. I have to chose any setting above it on the menu. Any ideas?

  • Recently, through lots of trial & error, I have learned how to upload VERY HIGH QUALITY VIDEO, from a variety of encoders - IMO, Riva (FREE!) & Total give best results if you make a flv with a VERY high bitrate (1500+.)

    If u make shorter a vid with video bitrate of around 200 or so, you can even uplaod in GLORIOUS STEREO SOUND!!!!!! But the picture sucks!

    I wish YouTube would allow stereo sound regardless

  • i wish i had a mac

    windows are very frustrating for making music n videos

    BECAUSE NOTHING WORKS WITH VISTA

    bastard drivers

  • lol... i realLY hATE my vista too... *high fives* >D
