How do you upload footage to youtube? I exported an H.264 from Premiere and my videos dont look like some of the other neat and clean looking ones. Its a smelly deal when HD looks like I was shooting on consumer dv.
He said in his post that he's exporting to H.264 and uploading to the web. I think we could benefit from some details about what the footage looks like and exactly what you're seeing that you're not happy with...that'd help us figure out what the problem is.
