In MMD click the "View" tab at the top, then in the drop-down menu "Screen Size'. In the left box type "1920" and the left "1080". Then render at 30 frames per second (Because Youtube doesn't support 60 frames) using the Cinepak Codec by Radius. (If you have lots of bright rainbow colors etc it might be a better idea to use a different compressor, but I have no idea which.)

In Movie Maker click "Save Movie" at the top right corner of the screen. Scroll down to "website settings" and click "Youtube". It will render to 1080p for use on Youtube, and since your screen size in MMD is 1920x1080 @30fps you won't suffer any quality loss.

This type of video is called 1080p30. HD Cable is 720p30, hd satellite is 720p59.31 or 1080i60, HD gaming is 1080p60, and HD Blu-Ray player is 1080i60 or 1080p30 (What you're using).

You could play your video on a Blu-Ray player and it would be industry standard.

Did you see FicticiousAnimations article on learnMMD about rendering to AVI in 1080P HD: [link]

In the model manipulation panel on the bottom left of mmd in a red box, click the drop down menu and select "camera/light/accessory". To the right of that will be some sliders in a blue box. This is the light manipulation panel. You control RGB lighting, meaning you will have to adjust red, green, and blue lights, respectively.

Basically, move all three sliders to the left until it looks like night.

Plus fog effects can add the in depth of night theme you want... its up to you...

Did you try turning down the lights? The three sliders in the center of the control panel area when Lights/Camera/Accessories is selected. Slide all three of them to keep a balanced white light ... or maybe adjust them to make the scene look blue-ish. -- Reggie D
