Compressor Settings for YouTube
I would like to ask a question that would help me feel more confident that I'm on the correct path with learning iMovie. I have eye surgery video files from a surgical microscope that I want to convert in Apple Compressor, edit in iMovie, and then post on YouTube. The video output from the microscope is mpeg-2, 1280x720, Progressive, Square, 25 fps, Rec 709, no audio. In Compressor I have been converting my files to HD 720p (under Video Sharing Services) for editing in iMovie.
Is this the best conversion setting option in Compressor for my purposes? I purchased Compressor because I can batch convert many files at a time (each surgery may yield 8 - 10 1.99 GB files). I am a newbie and have no idea if HD 720 is the best file format to convert to.
I would very much appreciate a recommendation on which file format to convert to in Compressor.
Thanks,
Jason
