RE: The Secret Behind Our Explosive YouTube Growth

in #youtube6 years ago (edited)

GREAT post! As a newbie to making videos/youtube, easily the best overview I've come across yet. MUCHAS GRACIAS :-) Edited to add: Note you are using the SonyFDR 4K thus assume you're shooting in 4K? If so does HandBrake retain 4k after converting? Also note on YT the highest setting on your vid said 1080? Thx!

Thanks, we appreciate that! We've put a lot more effort and research into optimizing our videos for search and into growing our channel than we have into how to get the absolute best video quality.

We don't always shoot in 4K because our action cam shoots better video in 1080p if we're moving because we get more frames-per-second.

As for HandBrake retaining 4K, I'm not sure exactly how that works or whether or not the original video quality is retained. I thought the video quality is retained and HandBrake's optimizing just makes for a quicker upload.
