If you are using Adobe After Effects for making videos, there’s no need further adjustment for the quality. Just follow the recommended options given. More 30 frames per second will be better for HD. More frames per sec, the more quality you will have but longer time needed for rendering project. Set video size to 702x1028 I think. Also use the FLV output for easy uploading on YouTube. Note that Mpeg-4 and FLV are the best options for Youtube.

If you are using Windows Movie Maker…stop that and start learning After Effects or Premiere Pro. I’m sorry, but AE will not disappointing you. For those using Sony Vegas, Final Cut Pro and Pinnacle, I’m just saying “hi, nice to meet you”.

This is a video created for testing my HD quality on Youtube. And the result was no too bad. A HD icon will be on side of your video title automatically. Have fun enjoying HD!

(today is my birthday and I would like to say to anyone who feel that he is not appreciated by his friends, u will get nothing but a punch on your face-from me)

Hello people,
It is very simple which u need to have 2 software. Adobe Photoshop and Adobe After Effects. Bring any of your favorite vacation pics and edit it using PS. Note that it is still picture. The concept is u need to change yours into 3 dimension one. Create different layers between subjects and make a remake for the background. The more subjects and objects, the more 3d your picture will be. After that just import the whole project into AE. No need to create new layer because u have done before in PS. Adjust your camera and distance between those layers and background music is something useful to make your picture look like alive. Plenty of 3d pictures on youtube channel, but this is one of my simple project. Want to learn the tutorial,go and check out this!
