There are more than a few options to use for file formats for exporting. What is the most commonly used...MPEG4? I'm making fairly long videos for tutorials, so I would like to know of a format that isn't too "heavy" for uploading to Youtube, facebook, etc.
Any ideas on what's the most common format to use?

Re: What file format to use
Why not to use the same format you used all those years?

Re: What file format to use
Use the format most suitable for the final use the video will get - no good using mpeg-4 if the device you use for display in your tutorials cannot play it
you need to experiment - which format gives the best quality on the devices it will be played on

Re: What file format to use
I guess I will have to experiment. I'm just trying to get the fastest upload without sacrificing quality. Thanks.

Re: What file format to use
Because I made a 54 min. video which i cannot upload to very many places, like facebook for instance. That video is about 7 gb, so I guess I'm going to have to edit the heck out of it or time-lapse it to bring the file size down quite a bit.asik1 wrote:Why not to use the same format you used all those years?

Re: What file format to use
What format did you use to make a 7GB file of a 54 minute video? Making a timelapse video will be useless since it will "destroy" you video as you will be throwing away most of your video.
Why not download a youTube video of equivalent size and look at its properties?

Re: What file format to use
Are you sure there are viewers that will watch 54min video? That video better have a story that captivates or else you won't have many viewers.rkstudio wrote:Because I made a 54 min. video which i cannot upload to very many places, like facebook for instance.
