Dive Into Your Imagination

I can ether put it up on Vimeo or YouTube. Both these site support HD video. Vimeo lets you upload 500 megabits of video and 1 HD video per week for free. You can upload more for a fee. YouTube let you upload up to 1 gigabit of video at a time! For this example I will use Vimeo. When compressing video for High Definition on the web I use two settings. I ether use a H.264 or a .Mpeg4. H.264 in full resolution is the best quality video you can put on the internet. The problem is that the files are so big that many sites wont except them or peoples computers can't watch them cause its too much info unless you have a really good computer and internet connection. Therefore I only use this if the video is less than 2 minutes or so. Otherwise use .Mpeg4 which is slightly less quality and the audio isn't as good but its about half the size of an H.264. So for this video which is about 9 minutes I used .Mpeg4. Next I uploaded it to our Vimeo account and lastly I linked that to our site and to this newsletter. For more information on video editing, compressing, and uploading you can visit our forum or sign up for our trip August 22-26 to get the full experience! On the trip there will be still camera and video pros as well as workshops on editing both general and for Final Cut Pro. Come dive the channel islands with us and take your pictures and video to the next level.

Watch the Video in High Definition!
