Syros Greece: Boats


How to quickly create and load a sideshow to YouTube

Back from Syros, I was running through my photos and wondered, how I could get them quickly and in large numbers to the net, while preserving a maximum of quality.

Syros Boats

Here is what I did:

1. The camera output is 4000 x 3000 pixels. Without resizing I just knocked some 30 pictures into Camtasia.

2. I added an opening and closing slide.

3. I got Ravel’s Bolero from a Music Stock site and added it to the timeline; timing of the music clip fits perfectly.

4. I render in HD 1280 x 720 (which corresponds to the YouTube 720p HD format). The output is MP4 with 30 fps, audio streams at 96 kbps.

Each Syros Boat photo added to the project library has a size of between 6 and 8 MB, which adds up to above 200 MB. Camtasia does the resizing automatically and the final HD file is only about 50 MB which were loaded to YouTube.

In spite the compression, a good amount of detail remains visible and the photos still look good in HD full-screen view.

The whole process took about 30 minutes including uploading to YouTube.
