I came across a good vlog today about improving the quality of the videos you upload to YouTube from Cory Williams (aka “Mr. Safety” – SMP Films).

The video that explains the process is pretty clear itself, especially by YouTube standards, and so I guess you can say the proof is in the pudding.

The process he outlines uses Sony Vegas Editing Software, but you could probably get other editing programs to do the trick as well.

At the end of the video he gives a rundown of the points to hit. I’ll reprint them here for convenience.

- 1mbps (speed)
- 320 x 240 (image size)
- 128 kbps audio (higher quality MP3)
- sharpest possibel setting
- 10% more brightness
- 20% more contrast (which keeps the gray from pixelating color)
