Exporting for youtube

Use the templates labeled Internet. MPEG-2 is not the best for uploading. Use MPEG-4

But i can't find any mpeg-4 options....only mp4 but that's not the same thing, or is it?

What version and build of Vegas Pro are you using? If you are using an old Movie Studio version, the export options are entirely different.

Going forward, start here for all peer support questions, thanks.

Try MagixAVC or if it's an older version of Vegas, SonyAVC. That will give you a mp4 file with h.264 (AVC) inside.

I do find magix AVC/AAC with many templates for mp4 but none of them says h.264

AVC is h.264.

MP4 is mpeg-4. (MP4 is the container file for MPEG-4, the standard for encoding video content.)

For uploading on youtube using the "Internet" template from MAGIX AVC/ACC MP4 it's already great, if you want you can still make a few adjustments.

But if you want to follow the stripe, everything youtube asks for. You can use voukoder which has more options.

Yes, those are exactly what you want for Youtube!

MPEG-4 is a Format. The .h264/AVC Codec is part of the MPEG-4 Format Standard.

MP4 is a Container.

To learn the similarities and differences between a Format, a Codec, and a Container, please read the links I offered you. Thank you and welcome to the forum.

Voukoder's out-of-the-box settings seem pretty good for YouTube. Before that I used to use the MAGIX AVC/AAC MP4 option, any of the Internet HD ones should do the job nicely. Voukoder produces a much smaller file though.
