Is there a way to guarentee that your vid can be shown in HQ on youtube? Because some of my vids have that option and some don't. I figured it had something to do with it's rendering or something, but i render all my vids the same way. Is there anything i can do while vidding that will make them render in HQ??

You have to render it in HQ before it goes onto youtube

In Vegas; I use WMV 3mbs (or mps, i can never remember) for HQ and then when it loads into youtube; the option is just there

this might help:

ahhh; its mBs

that's weird... i've never had to like go into youtube and specify that i want one in HQ. im not sure if there's an option for that. they're may very well be

i do know that after it renders, it takes say 10 mins or so, depending on your net speed, for the HQ option to become available ;P its not instant; at least not for me

I've noticed that a lot of my vids (newer ones even) aren't in HQ and some are. It's really odd. :s I was wondering this myself, Morgan. Are you sure that all of them are in HQ, Kat? Or just ones you've noticed? That's odd. :/

no, they all are since i started rendering in HQ in vegas. i always go back and double check that the HQ option is there just after i render a vid before i post the links up on LVI, i've never had a problem with it before

im trying to remember my first HQ vid...It was how do i deal, my Kana one. then i loaded my next two in LQ cos it took forever to load the HQ and my net was being really slow, and then from Unlovable on they're all in HQ

Hmm, odd.

I've been rendering mine in HQ... Youtube is screwed up.

Thanks, Kat.

Ooh; i was thinking, youtube is known for shutting down for a day and then when you log back in they change stuff and dont really tell you about; so i thought I'd go have a looksee and if you go into your account and then into Playback Setup; you can choose:

*Choose my video quality dynamically based on the current connection speed.
*I have a slow connection. Never play higher-quality video.
*I have a fast connection. Always play higher-quality video when it's available.

So maybe if you fiddle with them on your vids the option might come up for HQ?

I also read a while ago, dunno if it still stands, that the video has to be at least 480x360 in size

If you make your video 640x360 it will be widescreen now

I render my videos in 1 meg bit rate then it's not such a big download but still looks good on YT. You need to go into the custom settings and change the ratio and the bit rate.

Thanks so much for all your help everyone!
Emma, I think you're right about the size thing. All my HQ vid on youtube are in Widescreen format. Thanks for figuring it out guys!

What would I do without you all?? lol
