Youtube Subscribe Button Problems.

[LionsGripp]

Hey guys Happy Easter

Whenever I put the subscribe button in my youtube vids it looks fine when the window is small, but gets distorted when at full screen. I use the note annotation if that matters at all. Any suggestions on how I can fix this. Thanks.

How are you displaying the "button"? If it is a screen grab then maybe you have made it too small and pixelly?

 

[LionsGripp]

Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but I add it after I upload the video. I go to video manager than annotations and put a note. It looks fine until I go full screen. In full screen only part of the box is colored in.

I'm not following this...

Can you post a print screen, it almost sounds like the Note box isn't sized properly...

 

[LionsGripp]

Sure thing buddy. The first one is normal size and the button is fine. The second one if full screen and you can see the color is messed up.

 

[Arctic Pride]

2 things, try stretching the box and try a different browser or computer...

 

[LionsGripp]

Thanks Arctic Pride! I'm half an idiot on a good day. I guess it was Safari. Firefox doesn't have the problem.

Once I get my logo made I'll use the watermark option. That will make it easier. Thanks again.

Safari has some different approaches to things really!

 

[LionsGripp]

Yeah, but I think it's just me. Ever since I got Yosemite Safari is messing up bad.

I can't read RJ's website since getting the latest and greatest...

 

[LionsGripp]

Maybe it isn't just me. I hope they fix it.

Would be easier to just use the YT annotation, I think. But if you want a fixed button I don't think I can be of any help at the moment, never had the desire to place buttons yet.

*Edit: Perhaps using the annotation option that is transparent then you can drag it bigger overlap across your button.

 

[LionsGripp]

Thanks SighBored. I worked it out. ArticPride suggested to try a different browser and it turned out that Safari was messed up. The update that came out today seems to have fixed it. I am going to try something different for my video tomorrow. We'll see how it works out.

I tried embedding the subscription button in the video instead of using Youtube annotations. Just wanted to get your thoughts. I still have to link it though youtube, but its a nice way to make a custom button.

This might help mate.

I made an overlay using GIMP where I have a background layer and add over everything I need. Have you tried making an image using the same size as your video resolution and putting your subscribe button on it then adding in the image?

 

[LionsGripp]

Not yet. I see some motovloggers with a screen at the end of the video with previous video link, sub button, etc. I still need to make a logo for my watermark lol. I'll get there soon. Thanks for the help RealRider. I'll look into it.

No dramas mate - I'm using Movie Studio 10 HD btw

 

[LionsGripp]

I got Final Cut Pro X here. I also picked up Motion 5, but have no idea how to use it. lol. It may be easier and cheaper to get a pro to make the logo for me. I can learn the rest as I go.

Nice videos by the way. I see your a gamer. C&C red alert was the best and I will always remember up up down down left right left right A B A B start start lol. If your getting Mortal Kombat X for ps4 look me up. Lionsgrip PSN.

I got the local designed by a pro too - I find the video editing is ok once you watch a few guide vids on YT.

Yeah gamer mate - not much of a console gamer though
