hey welcome to another HD tutorial its what I'm going to be showing you exactly what YouTube wants from the people that upload their videos to their will popular website so what I'm going to do is just hit my YouTube button it will take me to youtube.com and pardon my slow internet connection here I'm using a few of my Mac's downloading programs right now for reviews so I'm just going to go to youtube.com and if you go hit the upload button right here you'll notice there's a little new little tab here that says capture your videos in HD they're trying to give you tips about how to upload your videos so if you click on that more information button here's the whole Help Center on how to optimize how to optimize your videos so that they are perfect for YouTube so this is a summary of the audio and video specs you need for the best results on YouTube for further details you just look below so we're going to look below and right back we see a recommended resolution for your video which is 1280 by 720 that happens to be the HD resolution in youtube if you can't avoid it then you may you can float in 640 by 480 which will get you that little high quality link and but it won't be in 16 by 9 and will be in widescreen so you'll have little black bars on the left and right of your view now the one I'm uploading right now that you're watching is 1280 by 720 so you can see how hopes so actually you can see that this is um this is high-definition content that you're watching also they recommend a bitrate and frame rate and here's a recommended codec this is my personal favorite h.264 but there are plenty of other codecs you can use so I wouldn't worry about your audio I'm using a two channel audio um sorry I'm using two channel audio because I have two microphones that are hooked up so listen to this um audio from both channels alright so that is the other part of it second when you scroll down you will see that they're telling you originals please this is basic basically how to get t2 quality out of your use when you're actually so I want to scroll that you that when you first take a video and upload it to YouTube you're going to see when you if recorded in sixteen by nine in 1280 by 720 resolution then you're going to get that full YouTube the screen that you're looking at right now the widescreen YouTube format and if you've taken the video in four by three aspect ratio then should only have a black bar on either side of the video it shouldn't be both sides of the video and the top and the bottom so here it shouldn't be completely messed up so if you've if you've actually made a sixteen by nine resolution and YouTube plays it in four by three you do not want this because then like so you've encoded it in four by three then you have black bars at their gray bars at the top and the bottom of the video and then in YouTube there will be black bars at the left on the right so this is not what YouTube wants frame rates are generally not that important this is 24 to 25 frames per second yields the best results for YouTube so that's what I'm going to recommend right now and resolution like I said 1280 by 720 is HD and I also do other other YouTube resolutions that work just well especially when recording your screen like I am now so that's basically um there is no facility to re-upload video so it's important that you test everything before you release it to YouTube so I'm just going to you know every time you upload a video and do your editing just walk through the entire time and make sure it all works out so I hope that I'm answering your questions about what YouTube actually wants in their videos and that's about it thanks for watching peace
