The 480p size of 854×480 works very well for my tutorial videos… they look pretty good and have a compact file size that uploads quickly. I also use the Screen Sizes that YouTube recommends… THESE DAYS, I use the UTvideo codec… it is considered to be “lossless” and it renders a beautiful, high-quality video. Also, using the video encoders that were standard with MMD, back then, only compounded my poor results. I was not paying attention to my Screen Size and often used a small “Academy Format” screen ratio of 1.3×1 … like 480 x 370 pixels… resulting in videos that looked truly awful. And when I first started, I had terrible luck with quality. I have been making MMD videos for, like, a decade, almost.

I upload the video to YouTube! Video Image quality… Well… I always do use Handbrake to reduce the file size of my video before I upload the video to YouTube! I use HandBrake to reduce MMD video file size before … especially if you are using a “Lossless” video codec like UTvideo… it would be a shame to lose the perfect quality of your video just to make it quicker to upload to YouTube. The teammates here, at, have gone round-and-round about the issue of running a fresh new video through a video conversion software in order to get a smaller file size. How can I reduce MMD video file size so I can upload to YouTube in a reasonable amount of time? My AVI files are too large! Do I lose video quality if I use HandBrake to reduce MMD video file size? Where can I download HandBrake video conversion software?
