ProShow Gold - How to output slideshow for YouTube

***Dave*** · 05-12-2007, 17:40

This tutorial takes you through the steps to output your ProShow Gold slideshow to a format that gives you the optimum quality for uploading to YouTube.

ProShow Screen shot

1. Once you have your final slideshow complete, click the "Create Output" icon on the top bar.
2. From the popup screen now select "Video File" . You will now see following popup

3. Under "Format" choose WMV. This creates output files about 5-10 times smaller than MPEG. 2 mins Video = approx 20MB. Acceptable for uploading to YouTube.
4. Set resolution. Optimum is 640 x 480, but if filesizes are too big, try 480 x 360. I found minimal dropoff in quality.
5. Set "Encoding" to "High Quality"
6. Ensure Desaturation is switched off, unless you like flatter colours.
7. Click Create

You should now have a decent quality video ready for loading in to YouTube. Enjoy

good one Dave, I'll give this one a try.
I was using the similar way but in Camtasia Studio 5, but some reason I like ProShow Producer better,
It should work the same as ProShow Gold.
Thanks

I had V.3.0 and it looked just like Daves so I upgraded to the latest version wich is V3.2. 2047 and it did have the You Tube output so probably below 3.1 didnt have the You Tube output

If you click on Share Show Online (see Dave's screenshot above) Proshow Gold uploads to the Photodex site directly. Presumably it automatically sets the highest resolution that Photodex support. The results look Ok full screen.

To get full screen right click on the image that comes up by default and select full screen from the drop down menu.
