HD to YouTube

[franhart]

Greetings -

I am new to the board and thank everyone in advance for any assistance you might provide in the future.

I bought the Corel bundle with Paint Shop Pro and VideoStudio. I was eager to get what I thought would be a more robust video editor (more than Adobe Premiere Elements) but was disappointed to learn (apparently) that VideoStudio does not support HD video when uploading to YouTube. I would create the HD project and then when uploaded, it would only display in SD.

Corel's tech support response was:

Thank you for contacting Corel Customer Support Services. I'm afraid currently VideoStudio do not support encoding of video for tube in widescreen or 16:9 format. It has been submitted as an Enhancement Request to Engineering for an upcoming version of the program.

As a result, I went back to using Adobe. Assuming that I will have to wait (and probably pay for an upgrade), am I missing other features in VideoStudio that are not available in Elements? From what little time I spent in VideoStudio, the effects seemed better and more numerous.

Thanks for any input.

Rather than use the upload to YouTube feature in VS. Create a video file using VS in 1280x720 format and save it to your HDD.
Go into Youtube and upload from there. I suggest 1280x720 as this is the HD size that YouTube accepts. It may be possible to upload from YouTube a full HD file but I have never tried. However YouTube will then spend time converting it to an acceptable format. Not sure which would be better but I know the former works.
