Corel Video Studio Pro X2 Tutorial, Creating 16:9 Hi-Def Videos For YouTube

Direct link to HD version; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKKI7f9tVPk&fmt=22
A tutorial showing how to create 16:9 Hi-Def videos for YouTube using Corel Video Studio Pro X2. The support for uploading hi-def videos to YouTube is very poor. The preset for mpeg-4 doesn't have the settings for HD, it being mainly for portable devices. There is a preset for WMV which is ok but the quality could be better and when you try to customize the settings they seem very confusing

The method used in this tutorial is a response for some help from my friend Stefan who was having a problem trying to find a method of doing this. This method works fine and you can see the results here

The method that I use uses a third party encoder TMPGEnc 4 Express to encode the final output to mpeg-4. Adobe Media Encoder is another excellent choice but very expensive!

I will produce a tutorial at a later date showing how I do this with TMPGEnc 4 Express as it is very straightforward

This tutorial was produced using Corel Video Studio Pro X2 and Camtasia Studio 6 and is in HD

Here is a solution that MarkTrav1982 kindly found for me for the people who cant get the presets working, they need to download "Windows Media Encoder 9". It fixes the way how WMV looks at HD files and it also fixes the HD presets. the link is found here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/forpros/encoder/default.mspx

[johnboy1uk]

Hi, is your original video in HD ie. 1280x720?

Thanks friend, no problem!

This tip is only to 720p. But how do you get to 1080p. you look at my new promotional trailer. the trick is on the video - to render "HDV 1080i 50i for PC". if you upload this on Youtube, is not the best quality, 720p but 1080p. 16:9 is also click and you save the rum under Custom. which saves time. Respect the data volume is slightly larger. Greetings from Berlin

Good tutorial. I was wondering from the settings you demonstrated for upload to YouTube, will that particular video files be "Full Screen HD"? Or just "letterbox-widescreen"?

[nothingsofargain]

Hey, I wonder if you can set the frame rates to lower, because I want to make a music video using pictures only. The lowest frame it allows is ~23 Fps, but it is still too high for a picture-music video, which makes its size very big.

yes good video

You did a SUPERB job on this tutorial! Very slow and very great! I am using X4 and I wasn't sure how to start rendering my videos, and WMV works 100% for me so I chose to use that, so I must say thank you for that :) Let's Played's here I come!
