Small fun article - http://mikevogel.com/2012/11/how-much-money-can-you-make-from-a-youtube-video/

We used the Panasonic 20mm for the opening shots (would have preferred the entire shoot on this lens but we were in a time crunch) and the Panasonic 14mm-140mm for everything else. A couple focus issues, but overall happy with the content from such a short time frame.

Here is the final product:

Shot with a Canon 5D Mark III and Panasonic GH2; I would love to hear what you guys think.

I've started two new youtube channels. Feel free to stop on by and maybe subscribe.

The first is my vlog. For starters I consider big name vloggers like jesse wellens, jon Olsson and will soon have a huge new casey neistat primer and study. I am the grumpy old man of youtube- some quite funny.

The second is camera gear reviews- I've moved from vimeo where I had 100k views. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDxx6qnqk7s6x0_icNE40gg

What's everybody using for their export settings these days for YouTube? (and Vimeo for those interested there too)

I said that services like YouTube and Vimeo usually re-compress the video for Internet playback, so if one captured the playback, it'd definitely be different. But, some services allow people to download the original uploaded video.

So, I'd like to ask everyone: Is there some characteristic (like bitrate) that we can check to see if the video is the "camera original" or if it's been processed by something else?

IMDB list for eternity.

Should I be embarassed that it leads the list of... well... the less appreciated manifestations of moving picture artwork? Not really. With its whopping "1.0" score it (a) correctly indicates the pathetic state of our local movie industry (which certainly does not fall short in terms of technology, given how many succesful international movies are produced here), and (b) it gives honest feed back to what results when a bunch of moronic "Youtube celebrities" collect money from their even more brain-dead followers to expose their lack of ideas, talent, determination, intelligence, and everything else that could make a movie interesting to watch in the cinemas.

This work is so abysmal, it will hardly be beaten by anything intended to be a "trash movie", because to intentionally make a trash movie, you at least need some determination and knowledge about the movie business, something completely absent from this pile of crap.

Ah and please, don't feed the makers egos by watching this. Knocking your forehead to a wall for 90 minutes would be more fun and less painful for sure!

I shoot with a hacked Panasonic GH2, mostly Flowmotion V2. My upload codecs are usually h264 .mp4 varying from 24fps to 50fps. Nothing too extreme. When rendered and exported everything is pretty much synced. But on Youtube they are off.

I work on a Macbook Pro Retina (late 2014) 2.2 Ghz Intel Core i7, 16GB RAM

Does anyone know why or how to fix this? Or is it just me and am I going crazy.

ANY HELP OR ROUGH ESTIMATES IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!

You need to make sure your channel has a short video, less than two minutes and ideally under one minute, that is copyright free and suitable for an ad. Or make one as I did below, either using material you have or new material.

They then play this ad--like an unused billboard in a way. They also provide click through to allow ppl to subscribe to your channel.

I made a short one to test it it, and sure enough, lots of clicks and an increase in subscribers. Note that if you make your vid 59 seconds long, as I did, YouTube counts this as 1:01. Still way under two minutes, but if one minute is a threshold, factor that in. For two minutes, shave the two seconds off for sure.

If the copyright trolls flag your vid, you will have to clear it through the appeals process before using it for Fan Finder. Since that can take a month, or more, figure that in to your timeline.

For this vid, I just took three clips and added a logo. I'll post figures in a few months to show how well the vid does with the free ads, and see if different ads do better.

Sometimes I even got superblocking going there even uploading such huge files. I exported from After Effects and Premiere and even Vegas, and results are gorgeus on my computer and so on but I can still can't get to have the 360p resolution that I have seen around youtube for some famous music videos. For example Gangnamstyle at 360p looks rather nice.

My videos with issues:

Check out that super blocking at second 16. Notice how the title graphic looks great. May it be some wrong I-frame P B Frame setting? this one uploaded at 70mbps.

Check out throughout this whole clip how from 360p to 480p the change is massive

This videos on a 24inch screen are absolute sharp and added filmish grain too.

How can I manage to have youtube render my video the best possible at the 360p option? I guess changing some format settings to match youtube's or something may do the trick?

Vevo stuff:

Notice how at 360p the quality is rather ok. Do Vevo people get more bitrate or something? Upload uncompressed?

I find this rather important, it means the first sight viewers have of the piece. Even more important for me when I know 90% of the public enjoys it at 360p :(

Thanks for reading

Is there any way to get it to upload in the original format, or does youtube always mess with your videos?

With the advent of wifi dslr, mainly the D5300, I started to think about to get a smartphone to see the live view from the camera when I get one with wifi, so I started a fun research...and I found a cheap used old model with enough screen resolution... and I got it for a low price...

Problems started when I did some attempts to connect using the 3G network, as the seller promissed me it would do, but it just got connection in 2G, and then I found it was a model from other country and it would never work in 3G in my city... so I went back to the seller and got a discount... good deal!

But then this became a "happy problem". Why? Because this makes me realize lots of people are still using 2G connections around the world and youtube just enabled the 144p around 80kbps for mobile slow connections and also pc slow connections.

I saw some videos in 144p in youtube using the 2G smartphone, and it was fun... I just remember the old days when internet was analog fixed phone lines with 24Kbps speed and online videos was just a dream.

(hey you, the three halloween batmen flying around... go away!!! Let me type... LOL ps.: did you run away from an atari emulator? Mouse over you!!!)

The 144p videos are just enough in the smartphone screen to understand and get involved with the video, to imerse in the history telling... and the fun thing: no need to worry about shallow dof...240p and 144p is so small to show shallow dof...

Oh God, if online videos are your goal, yes you must care about dynamic range, resolution, shallow dof, and so on, but this 144p thing just makes me realize the old school lesson: good script and good sound: that's what really matters!!!...

There are researchs on internet (you just need to google it) that shows the average internet speed for computers around the world is 5Mbps (this is enough for youtube 1080p streaming or 720p vimeo streaming, vimeo demands more bit rate than youtube). But 5Mbps are the average speed for big cities, most people outside the big cities are still using 1Mbps or 1,5Mbps for PC connections, just enough for 360p online streaming, and here, the 3G mobile connections are 1Mbps, 500Kbps or 256Kbps, and the 2G mobile connections keeps in 30-200Kbps floating... 4G is coming, 3Gis spreading, but it takes time.

So again: there are lots of things which matters much more than the gear: good actors, good script, good misanscene... clothers, scenarios... and good script and sound. In some 144p videos from youtube I could feel the importance of good actors, because even in 144p videos bad actors are revealed and made me feel it was a so amateur production, not convincing, unpleasant to see.

I showed to a female model I worked with two videos in 6400 iso from T3i camera, one was original, other was denoised and with film grain. I asked her: did you found any difference in the image? which one was more beautiful for you? And she answered: Oh sorry I did not pay attention to this, I was watching the people talking... but as I can remember... I saw no difference... And then I started fo feel frustrated about my image quality pursuing behavior... Story telling... Why worry so much about gear? I can do the same thing with that old GX88U and PV5500 VHS combo from the early 80s...

After sometime using a smartphone I got pretty addicted to it. It is much more pleasant than a computer for internet surfing... and I believe it is better than a tablet also. I just can carry it around to any place, lightweight, and I can put it inside my pocket!!! I am very satisfied with 800x480 screen, but God... there are 1920x1080 screens in expensive smartphones! I think people who work with online videos must take into account the main device for online video viewing are smartphones and 640x360 (360p) in a 5 inch screen is the resolution and size to consider for aestetics.

I make short comedy sketches for youtube and have experimented with a few hacks. I'm looking for one that doesn't take an absurd amount of data, is flexible, but also increases the quality decently well.

I'll mostly be shooting in my basement with some lighting, but will shoot outside a bit as well.

Thanks!

My main videos with most plays was the anamorphic project, neatvideo tutorial, super8 telecine tutorial, also lenses tests.

Please share your feedback about Tip Jar, did you get something?

and what do you think can motivate people to send Tip Jar to a video?

1080/50 p footage edited

Output to 1080/25p Mp4 h264 codec 10000 mbps

Upload to YouTube

I have read on the YouTube site that you should keep your footage frame rate and your output the same but I thought that conflicted with other information I read that said you should output to Mp4 for best results ( cant have 50p with Mp4)

I thought I would ask here if there was anyone with similar experience here and any helpful tips. I did look at other topics but this question was not specifically addressed.

But whatever is happening, I'd have had to change browsers to see a YouTube version of @oscillian's Fantastic wedding video. - and even then, put up with the extra resolution (now minimum 360P instead of previous 240P, which was good for slow connections as well as low-cost).

Anyway, Google have done a few things to YouTube in the past few days, (including browser and Ad-Block incompatibility) which may have had something to do with it:

Google Unveils “Lightbox” Display Format, Pushes “Engagement” Metric

Advertising Week, Oct 2 2012

The company calls it “smart hover,” and says this type of expandable increases engagement by 6 to 8 times over click-to-expand ads. When the ad expands, it appears in the middle of the screen and dims the rest of the page behind it.

The pay-for-engagement model is similar to the “True View” video formats Google offers on YouTube and the Google Display Network (GDN). The company today released new metrics after analyzing 92 different ad campaigns and found that, on average, every $1 spent on YouTube resulted in $1.70 in sales. The company also said that ads on YouTube and the GDN drove a 36% increase in website visits and a 36% increase in brand searches."
