Hi Im wonder if any one can help?

I am currently working on a slideshow portfolio in Photoshop to make into a video so I can have it embedded into my website, you know the thing text and images fading in and out, but I am having a problem with uploading to Youtube from iMovie as I am losing clarity on my text as it goes fuzzy/blurry when uploaded and I was wondering if you could help?

How did CR get the text at the start of this video on Youtube so clear?

1. I have done the slideshow and text in Photoshop this was done at the standard 640x360 size reccomended by iMovie for Youtube (Should I have done it larger?) I also did it at 300 dpi just so I have the freedom to go up and down! When flattened the layers are sharp! So what is the best size and file format at this stage?

2. Then when I upload my images to iMovie it plays fine and sharp! Is there something at this stage in the settings I m missing? Then when uploaded to Youtube the video I seems to lose all the clarity to the text (white on black!). I have then tried exporting it as a Quicktime and the clarity was perfect when played but again clarity was lost when uploaded to Youtube!

Which is the best format and settings to upload to Youtube? I know it can be done because I have seen examples! Please if you can recommend anything else I would be very grateful!

Or maybe the key is to do it extra large and then shrink down? Im lost in a world or rendering and dispro...ahhh!!!

I have tried Vimeo and it is much clearer but a smaller video player!

Thanks and sorry for jumping on the back of this post!

Hi. I was the photographer on the print space private view. Just wondering if you could link my name to my website rather than the print space, as I think it's a little odd that it links to there website. As do they.
I'm a freelance photographer and don't work for the print space.

Many thanks,
Regards,

No problem Alex, sorry about that, I have changed the link. We were given the PS website as a credit with your name from the exhibition manager. Mark

No problem I'm aware that there was confusion. Thanks for amending for me.
