Can't figure out how to export an HD video to YouTube

I have just recently started using Premier Pro.  I am putting together a video for YouTube using multiple separate short videos.  The imported videos are all HD, and when I finish editing the clips, I have used the native settings for exporting them.  I have chosen mpeg4 for the format.  Although I have played with the other settings, once I export the video, the playback resolution is low.  This is whether the video is played on my computer or published on YouTube.  I can't figure out why the clips are downgraded to SD.

Thanks

Glad you figured it out. Might I suggest a class at an Adobe Certification Training Center? Adobe has a list. Might help.

    Thanks to Katie and Ann.  Your suggestions got everything straightened out.  Many of the options aren't intuitive.

    At you using a preset like H.264 or are you customizing? What are your settings for sequence & output?

      I am a rank novice in Pr Pro.  I have chosen H.263, which was on the menu.  I haven't changed any settings for sequence and output.  I can't even find the selection dropdowns for them.

      Solve that before you start a real project.
