The render of the frames took 15 hours, and the movie was created in also about 15 hours, with some multi-threading.
However the multi-threading caused a lot of bugs that I am trying to find and solve.

Smooth color transitions and also varying
 - Speed with smooth transitions, inspired by SeryZone
 - Rotation
 - Color cycling

Unfortunately this movie get too much for youtube to handle, and the result is blurry and mushy.
Even though I followed all the guidelines:
 - Codec mp4 H.264
 - Bit rate 50,000 kbps

I did a slower render of this location however it is still blurry on youtube. Better than before though I think

Yes, I have found movies made with my program on vimeo, which was a glad discovery. But I think there is some kind of compression also there.

I was also not satisfied with the quality of my latest video. Compression was killing a lot of details. Video uncompressed was 8.5GB, my H264 compression 1GB and the downloaded mp4 youtube video 50MB so only a 20th of my already compressed video.
So I registered at vimeo and upload the same video or only the half because there is a 500MB limit at the free account.
I think vimeo has better quality, but isn't for free when uploading huge or many videos. Compare the results (full screen + 720p HD) for yourself:
