Okay, I wish to post a video on youtube. I know how to export from fcp just fine, the video itself looks very good; however, when I upload to youtube the titles are horrible. The video still looks very good, but it's only the titles that are very blurry and pixelated. When I exported from fcp they looked fine, but now I can't understand why just the titles seem to be so bad. Any help?
youtube trouble?

youtube is all messed up... they tell you one thing u do it and its screwd..doestn matter
if you want my advice for the best possible youtoube output here it goes
export your footage in native uncompressed format, .avi, quicktime yada yada
get yourslef flash studio 1.5 run your .avi, .mov, yada yada through flash studio 1.5 export it as .flv
now....here is what u'll get form it.

You get awesome quality youtube vid that takes foerver to load, doesnt have a control bar, doesnt allow the user to ff or skip, shows some wierd timer, it doesnt take screencaps for preview from anywhere in the video except first second or so, so make sure its a photo of what you want displayed and not black frame.
So if thats something that you dont mind dealing with...do it up. IT works! otherwise all that crap about mpg4 etc..i've done it all..and it still looks weak.

I uploaded this video the first day I got my DVX100b. I was fascinated with the fact that I could adjust my shutter speed (that is why you'll see so much shacky footage)... I thought it looked cool... hehhh... what did I know... However, my upload settings using sorrenson squeeze to a .flv have been the best looking on youtube so far, I get emailed 3 to 5 times a day asking what was it I did... It takes a while to load.
