HD Tutorial: Youtube Tags

2009-09-12
hey what's up guys it's Marcus Brown here from mkbhd and welcome to another HD tutorial and which I'll be teaching you guys how to use YouTube tags so you guys are probably wondering why someone would do a tutorial on tagging a YouTube video it's fairly obvious say you can just input the tags and whenever someone searches for the tags they will find all the videos with that in their tags pretty simple but these are actually tags that I have here that will change your YouTube video and if you've already seen these or use these let me know what your experience has been with them because I want to you know I want to know what which one you like the best but obviously this fourth one here I'm going to show you guys in a minute is one that's going to be very important for my future videos so anyway I want to ask you guys a question about that one when we get there either way the first one is whitey crop equals 16 by 9 putting this in your tags will pretty much zoom in and cut off the top and bottom slices of your YouTube of your YouTube video so if you have 4 by 3 content I've pretty much cut this notepad document down to 4 by 3 aspect ratio I'm gonna add an annotation here to spot like the 4 by 3 area so that's what it's going to look like it's gonna cut off the top and bottom half of your video which is kind of not necessary for most YouTube videos if you're doing a tutorial you might want to reconsider that however the second one is yt:stretch equals 16 by 9 which is actually a better option for you tutorial makers however I did my mkbhd update 2.3 using the stretch annotation and it definitely didn't look right my square my Square watermark was actually a rectangle everything was stretched out and you really don't need to use this unless you really really want to fill up the widescreen of the YouTube you know the widescreen YouTube player so this will stretch your 4 by 3 content pretty much lengthwise now the last thing the third one here is yt:stretch equals 4 by 3 this will fix 720 by 480 content that's the wrong aspect ratio it'll scale it into four by three so you won't have those weird sized window boxing it'll look the same as a regular four by three video and it'll kind of stretch it to fix instead of 640 by 480 which is kind of widescreen but the wrong aspect ratio it'll stretch it to four by three I've never really had to use that one the last and most important tag I want to talk about is why t : quality equals high and this will actually set your video to default stream in high quality the same as adding and fmt equals 18 to the end of the URL now as you guys know I produce all of my videos all of my tutorials and hardware unboxings and reviews in high-definition however a lot of people's streams internet connections and etc can't really handle the high-definition so my question to you guys which I want you to comment about is should I actually add that stream add that tag to the end of all my videos so that you guys always just wash in HQ by default now it'll obviously blow it up to the the larger than normal HQ player but it'll still be it'll be less than high-definition but it'll be good quality and good enough for you guys to see so I'm actually going to do that to this tutorial so you guys can see what it's like when I add that to the end it'll automatically stream in HQ when it's available and that is basically it so thank you guys for watching this stream or a little a tag tutorial and again leave your comments whether you want me to set that tag so that all my videos automatically go ahead and play in HQ instead of HD I know a lot of your computers or Internet connections can't handle that anyway thank you for watching this tutorial and I'll catch you guys in the next video peace you
