It's kind of like me saying that you're going to love my new video because I shot it in 25K, and you have to watch it in 25K or you'll miss out. The challenge with uploading 6K and 8K is that people won't watch at 6K or 8K, they'll watch at 4K or 1080p.

I agree that a 4K upload watched at 4K is WAY better than a 1080p upload watched at 1080p. From a storage/bandwith point of view it makes sense to give encoding priority to the highest/native resolution and then choke the lower ones. An 8K upload requires a whopping NINE proxies.
It also makes sense though, the more proxies they have to make the more data required for each video. It is odd that YouTube encodes a 1080p proxy from a 4K file more strictly than it does a 1080p direct upload. what the 1080p re encode of that file gives you. I'm more concerned with the 100MB file that the 4K at 225Mbps gives you vs. I'm pretty sure I'm trying to make a different/alternate point. I just re read your comment and I do think I know what you're saying now (and that you're correct.I think).

I’m happy that most TV YouTube apps finally support 4K so those videos now look amazing on my 4K HDR home display.ĤK at 225Mbps upload gives a 1080p stream at 2.5Mbpsġ080p at 47Mbps upload gives a 1080p stream at 2.0Mbpsġ080p at 96Mbps upload gives a 1080p stream at 3.5Mbps Keep in mind that it will also cap based on your device. If I plug in via Ethernet that same video will automatically go to 8K. My desktop has a really bad WiFi adapter, when I’m using WiFi and watching an 8K video “auto” will go to 1080p. The “Auto” setting is based solely on connection speeds. 4K is double the 1080p data rate so simply upscaling your 1080p timeline at the end will make for a better looking 1080p (assuming people choose to view in 4K). You don’t necessarily have to do 8K, it’s just the best data rate. I think the highest possible resolution on the phone is dependent on the phone itself. Though I also send files directly to be viewed via clients on their computer.

So unless my clients know how to change resolution with Youtube, its not going to matter what I upload. If I left my smartphone on Auto resolution, it pumps out 420p. What next, 12K, 16K just to get a passable Youtube video.īesides, its people viewing my videos thats the issue. There use to be a time that you had to upload 4K to get a decent 1080p video. On my smartphone, the Youtube App won't give me a resolution higher than 1080p on any of my 4K videos. Like 4k on vimeo actually looks like 4k, where as 4k on YouTube looks more like 1080 Because you know what looks worse than YouTube 4k? YouTube 1080.īut yeah vimeo and other sites are easily cleaner. Personally, I upload in the highest possible resolution available when I can. With that said, YouTube does have a pretty bad compression method. So sometimes I'd argue that the actual bit rate doesn't matter as much as the compression method. I feel like the 150mbps 4k 10 bit 422 Long GOP codec in lumix cameras is amazingly robust with no clear signs of compression.
I shudder when I see specs like "8k, 960mbps". Give me clean 1080p every day of the week! I hate when hard drives fill up and I have to deal with offloading projects to external backup. I do lots of jobs like this and like to keep everything I shoot in case a client wants to use it again. A fortnight ago, I shot 5 hrs of interviews for a 5 minute corporate video.
