Youtube Video Sharing Optimization Techniques Vseo
Video sharing and video marketing is becoming one of the newest and most exciting on the web promotional opportunities for 2008.
The most popular website on the internet for on the internet video is YouTube. This video sharing giant has fast become the default website for users to learn about on the internet video sharing, how to upload videos, and how to market videos on the internet. However, it is important that you learn a few techniques to optimize your video so that when you upload it, it results in the ideal possible quality video. Youtube converts videos to Flash on the fly and in doing so, it compresses the video and has difficulty processing digital garbage. With a tiny bit of technique, you can optimize your videos for prime-time.
In order to be able to share video on the internet, you need to first have the equipment available to shoot video, capture it, and edit it for on the internet usage. As for cameras, if you dont have a camcorder, most digital cameras, and even some cell phones have video functionality. As for Video editing software, there are many choices for everyone from the newbie to the expert. If you are short on change, most personal already come with tools like Microsoft Moviemaker or Apple iMovie in addition to the literally hundreds of free web-based video tools that you can use online.
If you are planning to upload and make movies from your mobile phone or other mobile device, I would plan on using something other than Microsoft MovieMaker. Apple Quicktime Pro, which is very affordable, is good to use with most any format.
YouTube only supports certain formats for input, so be cautious. It is superior if you make a .mov or .mp4, so be sure your editor has the capability to handle that format efficiently. If the software that you’ve isn’t capable of doing so, find one that it because otherwise you might loose information from the video during upload.
As for the size of your video, Youtube recommends 320*240 QVGA and I would also concur with this recommendation which, unless you are using a webcam, most often your camcorders will shoot at a higher resolution. You’ll need to resize the video but try not to effectively pull or stretch the frames.
As far as the bit-rate, I would advocate that you use a higher bit rate than YouTube suggests. You can target your bit-rate to be 1000kbps and anything much higher than 1500kbps would really be more than you need and will clearly make the conversion process take longer. Ideally you’re looking for a range of 700-1000 kbps.
Once you’re ready with size, codec, and quality set up, it is time for the selection of your audio format. It is better to use the MP3 audio codec, which should be standard on your editor.
When you’re done editing and exporting your video as a .mov or as a .mp4 format, you would obviously want to preview the video and make certain that it meets your standards for quality. If your resulting project is OK by you, go ahead and upload your video to Youtube.
Your video, depending on the speed of your internet connection, will take some time to upload and often several minutes. Once it is uploaded and resides on Youtube servers, they automatically compress and encode your video into an flv flash file. If you followed the suggestions for optimizing your video, your result should look much better than some others on Youtube.
In terms of video search optimization, remember to use all the tag and description fields. For your video to be found by searchers, the correct keywords must be in all three of the following: (a) the title (b) the keyword tags, and (c) the description. So the typed components (as listed above) need to be keyword rich to attract the right viewers, rather than a random selection of those who are there to see what’s new.
Also select an appropriate and hopefully highly viewed category. Finally, allow users to rate, comment, and share your video with others as this generates buzz and often results in external sites linking to your video on Youtube. If this happens, you’ll have a better chance to be seen in the organic search results of Google.
Good luck to you and your video sharing success.
