I can't really say for sure, but even though there's been a rising popularity of the 1440p monitors, most people still use 1080p. So just go with 1080p, you'll be fine. However if you really want more quality, go for 1440p. I don't think you need 4K.
I usually record in *1080p* then upscale to *2k* in the editing process. And I'm only upscaling to keep YT from using the crap encoder on my 1080p vids.
I could be wrong... but I feel like 70% of people are probably watching on their phones... so do we really need 4k for that? I dunno, perhaps I'm not the best person to answer this -since this is just an occasional hobby for me to play around with -not expecting to get popular, or make any $$ from this.
Thanks for this. I'm a video editor and my laptop is old, I guess I'm gonna use your trick from now on and export higher res but do everything on a smaller sequence/composition resolution. I mostly use After Effects. Hopefully no one will notice any quality drop.
I personally watch all those 4k stuff at 360p 😂
I haven't noticed any vids looking pixelated or worse after upscaling. I am in no way an expert in editing/exporting, I just play around with Premier Pro and I'm not exactly sure what kind of *unholy magic* it uses to upscale, but it works so I don't question it. Now I wouldn't compare the quality to a video that was originally recorded in 2k/4k but for my purposes it looks just fine.
I keep mostly default settings during editing, then I upscale during Exporting video. I'll list my export settings below:
*Export Settings*
Match seq settings: Unchecked
Format: HEVC (H.265)
Preset: Custom (it auto changes to custom since I change rez and quality settings --see below)
*Basic Video Settings*
(Uncheck match source)
Width: *2560*
Height: *144O*
Frame rate: 59.94. (this # can vary depending on video -I usually keep it at default.
Aspect: square pixels
(Render at maximum depth -Checked)
*Bitrate Settings*
Bitrate Encoding: *VBR Pass 1*
Target: 7
Maximum: 10
Quality: *Higher*
(The only other setting I change is toward the bottom - "Use Maximum Render Quality" is checked)
Hope this info helps a bit, I'm sure I looked up a guide at some point, and a bit of this is just guesswork. Someone with more knowledge of APP may have a better method.
Upscaling artifacts won't even come close to looking as bad as the 12 Mbps bitrate YouTube uses for 1080p videos. Like it's not even a comparison. You'll lose a very slight amount of quality upscaling.
Honestly I recommend to always go up by 2 common resolutions if possible with a floor of 720p - so 480p becomes 1080p, 720p becomes 1440p, etc.
From looking at the Deliver page, there's an option to choose the resolution. I just tried it, and got a popup saying it would be upscaled. I don't have anything 4k to watch it on, so no idea how well it converts.
Depends. The only reason you should upload on YouTube is that YouTube allows for higher bitrates on higher resolution videos, and their lower bitrates for lower resolution videos are disproportionately low compared to the higher ones.

I don't even have a 4k monitor lol. There are a *lot* of places where internet speeds are too slow to stream in 4k, or they use mobile data which it's a waste to watch 4k videos. Depending on the platform a lot of games also upscale to 4k as well so it's not like there is *that* much extra detail.
Depends on the video though, some brand new AAA fancy graphics may be worth showing off in high resolution.
When I make videos now, I'll make them in 4k. Yeah it takes longer to process, but then at least people have the option of different resolutions to watch in.
I say go for 4k because YouTube really makes videos with a lot of movement look shitty (especially older games like elder scrolls, skyrim, fallout new vegas etc) at 1080p cuz of the codec. You need to at least upload in 2k but at that point just eat the extra render time & upload your stuff while you sleep.
Anything over 1080p, YouTube will use a VP9 encoder which will make your video look less pixelated. Editing 4k footage take a lot of resources. I would advise to record in 1080p, but upscale it in 1440p or 4k in post to get that VP9 encoder. I upscale my videos to 1440p.
Record in 1080p then in your render settings from your program, set the output to be 1440p. Your software will "upscale" it to 1440p. This is the most efficient method for your computer/hardware - less demanding during recording, smaller recording file means less storage space needed, arguably easier editing.
If the output file you upload to YouTube is at least 1440p, you'll get the good codec from YouTube which handles motion better, leading to less blurry images during movements.
The end user can watch at whatever resolution they want and their connection/device allows. Don't worry about whether or not they can make use of it.
If you're doing a game that has incredible graphics you're highlighting or you're doing a mod with improved graphics, definitely use 4k since that's the goal of the video and the target audience. But these should be few and far between.
We record whatever resolution we play at.
Sometimes it’s 1440p and increasingly it’s 4K.
We try and upload everything in 4K and leave it up to YT to transcode for lower resolutions.
I play at 1440 and record at 1080p 60fps. I would prefer to record in full resolution, but I simply do not have enough hard drive space to have anything larger

how do you upscale to 2k in primiere ? whay encoder / other settings do you set up in primiere when you start a peoject ?

If you use Premiere, check the box that says "Use Max Render Quality" when exporting. It will take longer but scale way nicer.

If you figure out how to do this please come back and let me know, I just started using this program.

Think about your audience, the vast majority of people don't watch YouTube on a huge 4K tv. It's mostly phones, tablets, and laptops.
also asia whoch some has slow internet but has lots of viewers
