export for youtube

Hello,

To have my animation on youtube I exported my projects on .AVI using 320x240 resolution and 25fps. I then imported into Pinnacle Studio 9.4. In Pinnacle I tried several options: Media Player, Quicktime and MPEG4. The result however isn’t very nice. A lot of lines are smeared and the colours aren’t very good either, especially the gradient ones.

What can anyone recommend?

Thanks in advance.

I use the Quicktime H.264 codec straight out of Toon Boom.

I should note that I also have had pretty fair luck using Itunes to convert the file for use on Ipod. this reduces file size significantly and keeps the quality pretty decent.

Thanks! I’ll give it a try.

Like your example on Youtube, I almost thought that it would get a happy end.
