How to make your YouTube video 720p HD widescreen (and keeping it that way!)

My YouTube 101 Tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OnfLEDAcB4

Want to have your video HD and widescreen? Make sure your output is 720p, i.e. 1280x720. You're also going to want to compress it so you aren't uploading a huge file - use h.264 at 1500-2500 kbps.

For more detailed instructions, click here: http://www.freddiew.com/2008/12/31/how-to-make-hd-720p-widescreen-youtube-vid...

After you upload, be patient - YouTube needs time to process it before it throws up the "Watch in HD" link.

I use Final Cut Pro and a smattering of After Effects when necessary. Music/Sound is Logic. But remember! The program doesn't make your movie for you - if you've got the fundamentals down, you could use iMovie on an old iMac and still rock faces.

Stupid YouTube wanting to revert to 4:3 resolution. Sometimes you gotta use some FORCE.

Chief Armoror Brandon Laatsch and Black Bar Wrangler Matt Arnold once again to the rescue for this one.
