hi can u tell me the best render settings to get the crispest quality for youtube?

[graemeh2]

@thatniggbeme7 Just make sure you output at the resolution and frame rate you captured at (1920x1080 @ 23.976fps in this case). When I'm exporting from Premiere Pro, I use None/Uncompressed as the compression, which makes a huge (~60gb) file, I then import that into VirtualDub and through that compress to H264, which is a good codec for distribution through the web.

Sorry for the lame question, but what's this video aspect ratio? It looks really nice :)

[graemeh2]

@FlavoredHeart Hey. It was shot at 16:9 (1920x1080) then cropped during editing to a less tall 2.39:1, which is more like a ratio used in cinema. I think that equates to chopping the top and bottom 18% off of a 1920x1080 frame. In retrospect it's a bit extreme!

What lens is this

[graemeh2]

@rmr355 Canon 18-55mm f3.5, the kit lens that comes with the 550d, as it says in the description.

@graemeh2 I agree that it does add to it, somewhat, but perhaps when used in moderation. If the letter boxes are too big, then they end up being distracting.

[graemeh2]

@BortOBob No that's the only reason. I realize there's no real point when it's for web distribution and that you're just losing pixels, but I think it makes it look a bit more dramatic. It's something I'm still on the fence about whether to do/not do in future.

[BortOBob]

Any reason for the letter boxing, other than to add to the film look?

@RedPanther1

That was the "Warmish" setting in Magic Bullet Looks, under the 'Music Video' section.
