Hi everyone,
Today I'm uploading a video to YouTube and just found some good tips there. Definitely, I will share it with all of you.
Did you notice one thing (small but extremely important) that when you view a video at YouTube or other video sharing site, some videos loading incredibly FAST while some extremely SLOW or some hiccups or pauses before it continues to playback on YouTube. Of course, it depends on some factors such as YouTube servers, your internet connections, your computer's performance etc.. However, you can improve your uploaded videos at a better streaming speed.
If the video gets slowed down while watching, your viewers would not be patiently enough to watch till the end, they will close that video. This is because when you upload a video from your original video or converted video, you do not pay much attention to some critical elements for video/audio streaming.
Below is some important settings for your videos & make sure you do it first before uploading it online:
