- A guide to maximizing your quality on UA-cam and avoiding compression artifacts.
I highly recommend watching it full-screen on your monitor at the 8K option.

Lilio, idk how you do it but this is the cleanest video I have ever seen on UA-cam, no fuzzy image or blockiness just a clean sharp video, it almost looks like the original source file and I'm watching on a 1440p display, thank you for the advice and tips I've had enough of my videos looking like Minecraft although Minecraft itself is fine just not for real-world video.
Hello Lilio...you did a great job on putting this video together and I found it very helpful after watching several others on the subject. I'm going to use several of your tips on my newest project! Thank you!
Glad it could help!!
Hello Sir, would like to know does it work?
YOU JUST SAVED MY CAREER
We just uploaded a music video that uses tons of fog; the 1080 version looks like Digital Dog Poop, but the 4K version is at least watchable. Thanks for the tips and explanation!
Glad it helped!
Thank you for explaining, I’m having a hell of a time getting my GoPro footage to look clear.
What resolution and frame rate is your GoPro filming at?
Soooo freaking bit rates "budgets". Daaayumn. I just tried. Upscaled 1080p to 4K and stayed within the bit rate budget. Finally got relatively good quality youtube video (it's private, because it was only test) and not a garbage youtube compression. Thanks Lilio. Much appreciated.
AGEMO glad I could help!
@@LilioCamere it's me again I want to ask you something... what happens if I aim to 4K/60 bit rate budget (66-85 Mbps) but I render at 50 Mbps (keeping the same as my raw footage, which is Nvidia Highlights and its maxed at 50 Mbps). Is it ruining all the budget placement? Should I render at above 66 Mbps to place me at that tier?
AGEMO hi there! So rendering out at the highest quality doesn’t hurt.
Are you reviewing through NVIDIA shadow play? If so, on what GPU?
@@LilioCamere Yeah I record through Nvidia Shadowplay but I use only Nvidia Highlights, which is automatically detecting kills in supported games so it saves a short video file for that kill only, so after that I just merge them all and not bother with editing and cutting from a big footage.
I have GTX 1080Ti. I use a program/software called "VideoProc" because it's ultra light and it supports GPU rendering (I was using other software before but with CPU only rendering it was taking too much time to render). I know big serious softwares support GPU rendering, but I was looking for something light, because the functionalities of the big programs are way too complex for me.
So I can stay at 50 Mbps for 4K/60 (66-85 Mbps). Nice. I am with 1440p/144hz monitor, but I set Nvidia to record at 1080p/60 because it's lighter on the performance and the files size. So because of your great video guide here I now upscale to 4K/60 and as you said because of the bit rate budget youtube is not butchering it so much after that with their compression. Now the last question is what about rendering 50 Mbps raw footage to 70 Mbps (to enter youtube's 4K/60 bit rate? Is it going to work well? Or there is no point to do it since I will be still in the same bit rate budget anyway?
@@Michael.Virtus Hi! There still is a point to increasing the bit rate. Remeber that as you upscale, you are using more of that information for the pixels, as you're multiplying them by four to go from 1080P to 4K. You won't need 4x the bit-rate, but giving yourself a bit of headroom is always a good idea!
Super helpful. I will start rendering my videos at higher resolutions and see how that works. Thanks!
Glad it could help!
You have fewer subs than me and you render at 8K60fps? You completely humiliate me xD, Excellent video you have a new sub
I've started using Topaz AI to upscale my videos from 1080p to 4k before uploading. Now I think I'll do that and then render it in premiere at 8k.
yea he explained the part no techtuber told me after setting up streams and recording (recordings were booty in youtube after upload ) but source file was flawless almost
Thank you! This was very helpful! I also loved the bat footage. I miss Austin. ❤️
Glad it could help!! I love this city 🌆
Great video, great explanation! Thanks for putting this video together man! Keep it up
Santi Younger glad it could help!
loved the vid and the low contrast, raw look. keep going broo!
Thank you so much!
i think 6mbps is enough for 1080p but nowadays youtube is allocating 1.5mpbs for 1080 which results in shitty video quality we are seeing.
Where are you getting your information that UA-cam is distributing 1080P at 1.5 mbps?
@@LilioCamere well i tried downloading the videos from stream. and found out that most of the yt videos have bitrate around 1500k-2000k which is insane as in 2015. YT streams use to have 3mbps just for 720p videos. And worst part is all this is in avc codec not the VP9 one. In very few cases I saw it going up to 2.5mbps but it is very rare.
@@cjgokuhomes10 whenever you download the video from UA-cam, it just provides a compressed 720P version, that is not representative of what is delivered on the platform.
@@LilioCamere well there are some unofficial ways to download the stream directly like 1080p,2k. So I'm talking about that.
Great video, I just found this after doing a bunch of tests that confirmed this.. was wondering if anyone else upscaled on youtube for this reason :)
Glad it could help confirm your suspicions 😄
Man, I'm going to have to watch this about 10 times! Good stuff!
Yegues Schettini thanks! Glad it was helpful 🤗
Thanks so much, very useful.
Glad it could help!
I saw zero difference between left and right in your side-by-side comparisons. What do you see?
Very useful
These are some useful tips. I have the Nikon D810 and I was wondering why some of my 1080p videos look so bad. I never thought of upscaling, so I will try that.
Btw, when I watch this video of yours in 8K, it starts to stutter. Not sure it's my internet connection or my CPU, but it's not possible to watch, it keeps getting stuck. If I watch in 4K mode on my my Full HD iMac it's fine.
Taipei Geek if it’s stuttering and not buffering, that might be your CPU. It does take more hardware to watch 8K content.
is it normal youtube to compress my original video from 6500 bitrate to 3000 bitrate after being uploaded
Is there any specific reason you used the recommended bitrates for live streaming instead of UA-cam's recommendations for uploaded files?
From my understanding it’s a similar image processing time line, but if you want to see the upload bit-rate chart it’s at 0:56
if i record as 1920 x 1080 should i upload as 4k?
Yes!
Thank you sir!
No problem!
great info, thanks friend
Glad I could help!
The codec UA-cam used on this video is av01. So why did your trick not work on your own video? I have been experimenting with bumping 1080p to 2k and it does seem to force the issue and the vp09 codec is used.
thanks my dear. Good job
interested very powerful information this is very helpful
Great if you have fast upload. Not here in the mountains
The rendering process and uploading to youtube takes far too long uploading 1400p+.
Do this if you have shorter videos with alot going on that you want to look better.
Like if you have a 8 minute Call of Duty montage.
I put out sometimes 2 to 3 videos a day, so this isn't really efficient for me.
It really depends on your hardware and internet connection! It doesn’t work for every use case, but can helpful when quality is the priority!
super helpful man! While upscaling, are you also editing in a 4K timeline? Or will there be any difference if I just edit in a 1080 timeline and then export it to a 4K file ?
I haven’t seen any difference in Adobe Premiere Pro, since it’s still reading the original file to render. I don’t know as much on that topic, though, so I’m not sure.
@@LilioCamere alright, thanks anyways!
Good stuff my brother!
Thank you Michael Scarpone! I really do appreciate it!
@@LilioCamere Of course! Keep it up!
What is about upscaling 2k to 4k? Because 1 pixel are not 4 here. I ask because I have a 2560x1440 monitor and play and record games with it. Should I export in 5120x2880?
UA-cam doesn’t support 5120x2880, so I would just export to 4K
Just make sure you’re recording in the highest bit rate you can to capture the most information ℹ️
If my camera records 28mbps 1080 60f would I only render it out at UA-cam's recommended 24mbps?
No, I would render it at 3840x2160 (4K) 60 fps at 112 mbs, since that is 4 times the bitrate, since you'll be upscaling it by 4x.
I have sony A7iv camera (33mp) and footage is 4K (3840x2160). Looking nice in Monitor, but artifacts issue after uploading to youtube. Could you please provide me tbe settings? I am using Davinci resolve studio 18 verison.its happening with HNXR(Mov) H264, H265, AvI and MP4
Try rendering it out at 7680x4320 at the highest bit rate your program allows
@@LilioCamere Thank you very much👍
Please answer this for me; The video codec issue with uploading videos is making me nuts. The AVC1, by default, apparently, is what many complain about regarding UA-cam videos that they post, including myself. So I see that choppy video from my PC. Now, watching the same video, as I would, but on my Galaxy S23, it looks as it should on there, provided I make sure that I go into : Settings; Advanced, then go down the list to 1080P. That's all I have to do to make it look fine on there. But No matter what I do on the PC, it looks crappy. Is there a different codec or something that UA-cam requires and sets, depending on what you watch a video on? Is it my computer? The computer is about 10 years old, but it's a DELL Inspiron 7559, 64 bit, Intel i7. It should have more than enough power and resources, although seems to struggle with UA-cam videos that are 1080p or higher lately. Didn't used to be. What could be the issue here?
You should try and export your video to h.264 as that is the most common ground for a video codec.
I did just check the browser situation. That's the issue, yes. I usually always used Brave, but leads me to the problem. But I just opened Edge browser and my posted videos look just the way they way they are supposed to look, and as I intended when I first uploaded them. So my videos are saved, Thank The Lord. But why is there such a difference, just between different browsers? @GlenReed @@LilioCamere
Hi, may I make a question: I understand the bitrate budget that youtube give you. I shoot all my videos with my Samusng Note 8 in 1080P. In my video app of my mobile phone I can choose the bitrate for my videos. What would you suggest to choose for 1080P to have a good quality without exagerating with the bitrate ? Is there a sort of table to look at ?
Hi there! What are some of the option or is it a free range?
@@LilioCamere it's quite free
I would say 50 mbps is a solid bitrate for 1080p
@@LilioCamere ok. Do think that 20 is far too low?
Any film stock review videos coming out soon?
Awesome! So, if I shot 1080p24 should I render it as 4k60? Or 4k48?
And what about using H265 instead of H264?
Hi there! Just would just leave it at 24 fps. UA-cam doesn’t do a great job supporting 48 fps and the editing to 60 would be in consistent or choppy. I would do either honestly! H264 for more compatibility and h265 for smaller files
The problem is, that after uploading 1440p/4k , vp9 1440p/4k looks a lot better, BUT- 1080p/720p/480p looks a lot worse compared to uploaded 1080p avc1, I can clearly see much more movement artifacts!!! I just want good 1080p, I don't need 4k. It's ridiculous that I can have pretty good 1440p and 4k, but I can't get good 1080p. I can say, that Vimeo 1080p looks a lot better than youtube 4k. I don't ask much, I just want acceptable 1080p.
Just ran a bunch of tests and during high movement 90% of the time the video I posted at 4k played back at 1080p has less movement artifacts than the 1080p video during the same frames, should be this way because a higher bitrate is allowed for the 4k upload. This is only the case if the uploaded 4k video has a higher bitrate than the 1080p video.
Did you find a solution? Because i don't understand why UA-cam destroys my 1080p when I upload 4k video.
Everyone is saying that vp9 looks better than avc1 but from my experience vp9 darkens and raises the contrast of the footage while keeping more details. I think its best to keep footage at 1080p 60fps and render in prores (4k in prores uses too much data anyway). Brings the overall best results in my testings.
What is your preferred render setting for 1080p 60fps recordings ?
Hey quick question, I record my video games in 1440p , mp4, encoder Nvenc h.264 @ 20,000 kbps (CBR). When I render in davinci do you recommend I upscale to 4k ? if so, around how much Kbps (Mbps) ?
Try around 50-100 mbps
Great video, very clear and informatlive! Where do you get these numbers? Are these youtube numbers?
Yup! Here’s the link; support.google.com/youtube/answer/2853702?hl=en#zippy=%2Ck-p-fps%2Cp-fps
@@LilioCamere Thanks!
Hopefully, UA-cam could provide quality compression to all videos so that the creators could concentrate on the content only.
I am having such a hard time trying to render some racing gameplay. The image looks so bad. Does anybody knows what I can do to make it better? I am exporting in Premiere at 4K, H.264, Highest Bitrate, 2VBR Pass and 10 Key frames, 60 FPS. Still, looks pretty bad. I am going insane. 😊 Please, somebody, anybody, help me
What’s the bit-rate you’re setting it at?
@@LilioCamere I have tried 30, 50, 60, 120 and recently I exported a 8K file with 1000 Mbps lmao I havent seen a quality improvement over 100-120 :( It looks amaaazing on my screen but after the upload it just looks awful :( Exporting em 4K definetly helped but still not good.
@@darwin_plays when you’re watching the playback on UA-cam, are you setting it to 8K?
@@LilioCamere No, I am watching at 720/1080. UA-cam didnt processed in 8K, capping the video at 4K. (Its private)
- I saw a big jump in quality on these resolutions (720p and 1080p) when I exported in 4K upscaling, compared to uploading in true 1080.
"Why am I only looking at these resolutions?"
For one, 1080p is the original file-res and ALSO most people only go as far as 1080p when watching related content to mine.
I am gonna publish an H.265 video today and, to be honest, I am gonna give up on it 🙁 I am gonna keep uploading 4K upscaled versions just to get better quality at 1080p.
I really, really appreciate the support, my dude!! You are the real one
@@darwin_plays you have to wait for the video to be fully processed to anywhere near actual quality. Try uploading one tonight and then watch it tomorrow once it’s been processed
Super helpful video! I film in 1080p 60, but don't know what export settings to use. What bitrate should I select for the max bitrate setting? Does upscaling to 1440p do the same quality? (my pc takes AGES to export 4k).
Hi there! Exporting to 1440p will be better quality than 1080 on UA-cam, but not quite as good as 4K!
Correct me if im wrong but for gaming montage/videos, record in 4k shadow play for max mbps , edited in after efects in 1440p, 30 fps.. you render that in losless avi, then encode it with ame to 4k 60 fps and upload to yt?
Keep it the highest quality the whole time, don’t downgrade in the middle
Can you recommend a few good editor programs to make these file adjustments.
DaVinci Resolve or Adobe Premiere Pro!
Why doing that a 1080p60 video is perfectly fine and only needs 8000kbps
If yt renders in 8000kbps a 100,000kbps
Wont make any difference :)
Can you rephrase your point, I'm a bit confused?
@@LilioCamere imagine you record a 1080p video in 16mbps
youtube will try to lower to around 8000kbps // 8mbps
The video even if it losses bits
It will be fine since it will look the same
Its a bit like setting and overkill bitrate youtube is the opposite
But if your playing a first person shooter
UA-cam will upscale it youtube is tying to get the sweet spot
@@SilverBirb UA-cam will actually lower the quality of the video if you keep it at 1080p.
If after the fact, you upscale the 1080p to 4K then you can keep more of the quality after UA-cam compression!
Try it and test it out!
@@LilioCamere yes i can test it out but i only have a 2k device :(
Also do not record in 8k 99.99% cant see it and even if you manage to see it it will just be the same bitrate and it will just be a larger size
I’m not recording in 8K, like I said in the video! I’m up scaling to 8K to get a higher potential bit-rate for those who want it!
@@SilverBirb here to help!
@@LilioCamere yes i know am studying youtube compression to see how youtube works and the bitrate i should record in
Can you give me a list of recommended bitrate for resolution :)
