Why do my flip videos look bad when I upload them to Youtube?

Question

Just got a Flip video camera. The videos look fine on my computer, but when I upload them to Youtube, they look horrible. What can I do to make them look better?

Answer 1

Well, that's because usually the default setting for uploading video is usually very low, thus saving time in uploading, and giving you a very bad quality clip.  Try to put the video on windows movie maker or imovie if you have a mac.  Then, do whatever you want to the video, and when you finalize it (turn it into a good quality vid) make the resolution high (id say for example 640X480 is a good quality video) but don't take the resolution part since i'm so used to putting vids on my ipod.  Good luck!
