In this video, I go through the basics of file formats, and show you how to pick the best file format for YouTube for other filmmaking.
If you have found yourself asking "What is h.264 / h264?". Or, "What is the difference between H264 and a QuickTime?", you're in the right place.
Likewise, if you have been trying to figure out how to compress large video files without losing quality, I cover that, too.
I also explain the difference between audio file formats, including the difference between lossy and lossless files.
Once you understand how file formats work, you will easily be able to pick the best export settings for YouTube in Premiere (or any other destinations, for that matter).
So, sit back, and decompress. We're gonna talk compression! 😎😉
