Hi,

What version of what Avid product are you using?

ciao,

First, I would check the compression quality settings.   Set it to the highest quality.    You can also adjust bit rate.    Unfortunately Avid does not give much control over exporting when using certain codecs.    The better way is to export your sequence as a Quicktime Reference file and use a program like Sorenson Squeeze that will give you better control over the quality parameters, and in many cases uses superior codecs.

Secondly, it depends what you will use the export for?   For example, if you are delivering a file to a broadcaster or production company, you should export as Avid same-as-source.   For this to work, the party receiving your file needs to have the Avid codecs installed on their computer.  But these codecs are available as a free download and most professionals already have them installed.

im using the trial version to learn iot before to decide if i will buy it.

i use export only to save my movie after editing it, so i also want to send the video on youtube

The trial version of what?  Media Composer is available on the Mac and on the PC, and some of what we might suggest depends on what you've got to work with.

It's also possible you're using Avid Studio, in which case you're in the wrong forum.

If you end up buying Avid Media Composer (which, of course, is the editor all of us on this forum use), it will come with the aforementioned program, Sorenson Squeeze.   Sorenson has a YouTube preset which will allow you to transcode terrific looking video files for upload to YouTube.   I use this all the time, both for my own work, and for videos I produce for client's websites.

In any event, good luck on your decision.

You are in the wrong place.  The Avid Studio forum is here:
