If I make a video on my Canon camera, import it into Windows Movie Maker, and save it, I usually try to have it larger (weight-wise), so that it will be better quality...at least that's my reasoning. But how much more does YouTube compress it?
I had a problem with one video because I did the audio track in Audacity. I saved that as a .wav, then imported it into WMM, and added it to the video I had. After I got everything the way I wanted it in WMM and saved it, it was fine. The sound was fine. I uploaded it to YouTube and suddenly there was noise on the audio track. What happened? Did YouTube do some kind of further compression?
I just made a video today that I haven't uploaded yet for fear the sound quality will get degraded by YouTube. I did the video and primary audio on my Canon camera; I did a harmony vocal with Audacity. The finished video sounds fine on my computer. It's about 50 mb. Should I have made this a smaller file? Will YouTube compress it again, after I already have? How should I be doing this so my sound won't be ruined again?
Thanks!
