Sometimes I forget to take my own advice.

When I posted the video I shot last week of my visit to Lockheed Martin, I was less than thrilled with the visual quality of the final result on YouTube.

I had started with a 1920×1080 HD video with crystal clear images and ended up with what looked like a recreation made with Lego blocks and shot by a Fisher Price My-First-Video-Camera with Vaseline smeared on the lens.

Here’s a screenshot from the original YouTube video:

However, when I clicked on the “watch in high quality” button, it was a revelation:

Bottom line, always check to see if that button is there. Unfortunately, that button isn’t on the embedded version of the video. You can only get the high quality video by clicking on the embedded video (which takes you to the video on youtube.com), and clicking on the button there.

Here endeth the lesson.
