Show Your Work and Get Feedback for Your Project! 

Show Us Your Work!This thread is about showing your work. How does it work? Create and upload a video to YouTube, then reply to this post with your video, some background info, and what kind of feedback you'd like to receive.

Then, the community and Adobe Experts give feedback. This feedback is designed to help you grow as an editor. Show us your work. We can't wait to see it.

Rules:

1. After uploading your video, make an effort to comment on other people's videos. By doing so, you will find that others will be more likely to comment on your videos.
2. Be specific when asking for help. Examples of specific questions: "What do you think about this stock footage?" "How's this transition?" "I need some help on this comedy scene; the last joke comes off a little cheesy; any ideas?" etc.
3. Be descriptive when giving feedback. Use timecodes to highlight certain parts.
4. Please notice those leaving a lot of feedback and give them some. This is a cooperative effort!
5. Update: Any comments that do not follow this format will be automatically removed.
6. Any kind of video acceptable on YouTube is fine; however, remember that we have people of all ages reading and viewing here. Moderators here have the right to remove any video that might be inappropriate for all ages.

Hope to see your work!

I just completed this video. It is my first lyric video so I want to get the kinks worked out and this one before I move to the next one. I'm pleased with everything except the text. I'm not sure what I missed in the settings to export it, but all of the text is very pixelated rather than sharp and crisp. Any advice would be appreciated.

The video you've uploaded to Youtube is very low resolution - 360p.  These days the standard resolution for production is 1080p (1920x1080).  The low resolution is almost certainly what is causing any pixelation you're seeing.

See what your sequence setting are.  If they are higher than 360p, just re-export at higher resolution.  

If your sequence is 360p (640x360) or something similar, you'll need to increase the resolution of the sequence, then adjust every layer and effect to suit.
