Hey, I'm new to Magix and have some technical questions about exporting videos...I'm trying to export videos filmed on my high def kodak zi6 and was wondering what the best export settings would be for youtube...

Hi,

YouTube accepts a variety of upload formats that can be exported from Movie Edit Pro. WMV will work. So will MPEG-1/MPEG-2. On the YouTube server, the material gets transcoded anyway. I believe YouTube advises somewhere on their website that you can get the best results by uploading DivX (in AVI file) or MPEG-4/H.264 material. You might want to experiment a little. If you decide to export MPEG-4 (as in actual "MP4" files) from Movie Edit Pro, make sure to switch the codec to H.264 in the advanced encoder settings. I haven't used video hosting on YouTube extensively, but when I did some quality comparisons between different upload formats, I could never tell much of a difference. Maybe it's just me...

ralftaro,

I have MEP 14+.

I give up. How do I find the Advanced Encoder settings?
