In the bitrate, am I understanding this correctly,you are successfully uploading HD videos at 1 mb/per sec. Also did you ever manage to note your mpeg streamclip settings? Great article, what are you changing for 1080p settings?

In the bitrate, am I understanding this correctly,you are successfully uploading HD videos at 1 mb/per sec.

Also did you ever manage to note your mpeg streamclip settings?

I never got notified this was out there... so sorry! Let's see if I can try to answer your questions. what is the initial compression type setting that you use? is it H.264 or something else? Yes, H.264 also, what is the setting for data rate? you say 8000 kbs, but do you select “streaming”? I've changed from 8k since I wrote this and have not updated the post (I should). For YouTube, I've found I can get pretty good quality using 2k instead. On some occasions I've had luck with 1k. When I'm worried about being really ubiquitous I have gone as low as 768. and finally, under sound, do you choose 48.000 khz, and then the 256 bit rate? Yes to 48khz and whatever the default is on the bit rate, but make sure you choose the AAC (I've had better luck with it). Hope that helps and not too late for you. Whoa!

Note that I wanted to export from a 1080i AVCHD recorded on a Sony TG3 and imported in FCP with Log and Transfer.

Also, 1280x720HD works fine as a setting, unconstrained. I've found that the 8000kbps setting, along with HLS balance settings of: Saturation 114% and Lightness 75% succeed in getting the color and light balance of my original video from youtube.

Thanks. It wasn't until I sent the comment, that I realized you had stated your camera in the above postI Sorry about that. The information is very helpful, I'm trying and trying to get the best looking HD/HDV setiings for posting on the web. I've seen some awesome looking stuff, but have no ideas what the workflow would consist of. Thank you much for sharing your settings with us. Yes, you answered them both fully and professionally.

I'm shooting with Sony HDR-FX7s (which is 1440x1080) and I'm capturing to an Apple Intermediate Codec and re-rendering out as indicated above. The Sony HDR-FX7 is their former prosumer camera. I opted to purchase two of these rather than spending near the same money to get one of the bottom pro level cameras. I've outfitted each camera with a SignVideo XLR Adapter to give me dual XLR inputs on each camera and use a Sennheiser wireless lav (Evolution G2 camera pack ) and a Rode NTG2 for some crowd supplement on one camera, then I use the other camera's on board mic for safety and crowd coverage. Hope that answers your questions. If not let me know and I'll expand. Thanks elmerdawg!
