HI, I'm shooting most of my footage in 720p/30PN and editing in FCP. I'm using Quicktime Compression then downloading to youtube... the youtube quality is to put it nicely, not good.

Is there something I'm doing wrong on my end or is that just youtube limitation? I have QT Comped to 720x480 letterbox and 320x240 letterbox and they both look OK for youtube (but they take HOURS to upload-another problem), but I'd like them to look better. Any suggestions on settings in the QT Comp or other ideas?... please be specific yet write simply as i am a novice. Thanks for the help.:beer:

the easy way would be not to upload to youtube at all and use an hd site like vimeo.
