I think I did years ago but the software hissed at me. I&#39;m expecting it to default to 1280x720 or somewheres there. Once it&#39;s uploaded to YT they will adjust it in software. </p> <p>I think I&#39;ll go up to 5 megs on the bit rate. I don&#39;t want to push it to far and end up on HD. They have a ways to go before HD can be a viable product on our crappy internet. Also the current version of FLV (flash) has many issues. There is a chance that will be dropped for another competing product that will do a better job and with not needing to pay any royalties. </p> <p>Im not going to do a test video.

(used for testing)<br /> • 3Mb/s - 4Mb/s is average<br /> • 4Mb/s - 6Mb/s is ideal for best HighQuality on YouTube. </p> <p>I recommend that you create a 10 second test video, render and upload to check it out. It&#39;s possible that you could run into all kinds of other issues such as the video not fitting properly in the player. The YT Help site indicates all kinds of problems that you could encounter. </p> http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/topic/how-hotforwords-makes-her-hd-videos/page/3#post-12055 Sun, 29 Nov 2009 19:57:30 +0000 HotForWords 12055@http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/ <p>Test </p> http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/topic/how-hotforwords-makes-her-hd-videos/page/2#post-12049 Sun, 29 Nov 2009 18:34:28 +0000 Captain Jack 12049@http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/ <p>I&#39;ve been shooting my videos in 16:9 format in [SD].

I've seen Pinnacle in use, and all you have to do is point to an area of the screen, tweak a slider to define the range of colours it replaces (there will, after all, be some variation in the exact shade of blue picked up by the camera), then tell it what you want to replace the blue with. I'd assume FC Pro works in a similar way. </p> http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/topic/how-hotforwords-makes-her-hd-videos/page/2#post-8842 Thu, 04 Jun 2009 23:02:28 +0000 Greatest Potential 8842@http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/ <p><em>hmmmm...if only Marina would tell us about how she goes about using green screen...</em> </p> http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/topic/how-hotforwords-makes-her-hd-videos/page/2#post-7524 Sun, 05 Apr 2009 13:47:35 +0000 zarathustra 7524@http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/ <p>cool marina! </p> http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/topic/how-hotforwords-makes-her-hd-videos/page/2#post-7521 Sat, 04 Apr 2009 16:50:48 +0000 joewillgo 7521@http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/ <p>is that cam user friendly?

In my 22 years I've seen products that where a complete rip off and yet products of less cost out preform others. Some product are just over engineered for most users. The big difference I see in comparable products is MTBF. Mean time between failures. Commercial product are usually have a large MTBF rating. Consumer products may have the same features yet are built with cheaper materials and manufacturing procedures. Sometimes what I will do to save money for a company is purchase 5 units of a product that is 10 times cheaper than the pro version. The idea is in time we would save half of our expenses. Also with they speed that technology is changing buy the time we pay off a piece of equipment there is a better, faster, cheaper product coming out. That said I don't use this decisions for every item I choose. Sometime if you have a piece of equipment that is critical like in life saving you don't skip on price but search for ultimate quality. </p> http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/topic/how-hotforwords-makes-her-hd-videos/page/2#post-4576 Thu, 15 Jan 2009 23:30:05 +0000 Greatest Potential 4576@http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/ <p>A doodle can change the world &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/bb-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_lol.gif&quot; title=&quot;:lol:&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; </p> http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/topic/how-hotforwords-makes-her-hd-videos/page/2#post-4061 Mon, 12 Jan 2009 08:44:13 +0000 NerdWithNoLife 4061@http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/ <p>You're right, Captain.

Wow the price dropped! I have been keeping my eye on that cam. I have an old Canon ZR10 that I want to replace. I spent over $1,300 for it. ZR10 does wide screen (cropped) not HD. I never used that feature because nobody was using it. What attracted me to the HV30 is that I can keep the compact size and still shoot HD. I hate carrying around the professional broadcast quality cams. They just make me not want to film anything. They are just way to bulky and HEAVY! Lenses are not the greatest on the HV30 but for what I'm going to use it for no one will notice. If I ever want to sup it up I can. <a href="http://dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?t=132613">See this guys set up.</a> That's a bit much but the cam can be supped up. Another big thing for me is that it still uses tapes. Yea they suck but what people forget is that when your out on job you need to have something to drop all that data on. I wanted some removable storage. Tapes are dirt cheap! You can put a few dozen in your camera bag. Many manufactures are dumping the tapes but I think that is a mistake right now. Also I never erase my tapes. I just keep them for later use. </p> <p>Thanks for the tip... </p> http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/topic/how-hotforwords-makes-her-hd-videos/page/2#post-1123 Fri, 19 Dec 2008 08:01:30 +0000 HotForWords 1123@http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/ <p>Agreed kaibanator, the software that comes on every mac is good enough to produce practically anything.</p> <p>I think the 192 AAC is finally working properly on YouTube..
