Unlock the Best Video Quality on YouTube: How to get VP9 in 2020

  • Update: You will need to upload in 1440p or 4K to guarantee VP9 on all of your videos! Sadly, RUclips again removed the ability for 720p and 1080p videos to be always encoded in VP9 if uploaded in 50 or 60FPS..
    Also, check out the quality difference of VP9 and AVC

    *I'm afraid uploading at 50 or 60FPS does no longer trigger VP9! You have to upload in either 2K or 4K resolution (regardless of refresh rate) to get VP9 on your videos*

      I confirm it, a few days ago, this method stopped working (50 or 60 fps), the only ways to get VP9, at the moment, are 2: uploading at 1440p or above, or doing: "Save as new video" on RUclips Editor, but I found that is a fake VP9 with this last method, because the quality doesn't change, maybe it's even worse than AVC.

    For real life footage, upscaling my 1080p video to 4K - and WATCHING it in 4K - is the only way I found that gives decent looking video on RUclips. Even though it says it's VP9, the 1080p version looks like a draft copy (softer, less detail) than a 1080p render on my computer. Unfortunately most people won't switch to 4K to watch videos. I wish RUclips would give us an OPTION to use VP9.

      that's a true. i recorded and edited my clips in 1080p60, and the quality watching them in my pc was AMAZING. i uploaded them to youtube at 1080p60 and the quality was horrible. then, i tried to render them again in 4k and uploaded, and only by watching it in actually 4k, i could see it was close to the 1080p60 in my pc. yeah, just close.

      Dude it's crazy, this is giving me a headache. I've got some videos that upload with VP9 even thought they're 1080p60fps, and some of them decided to go with avc1 for no reason.
      And trying to upscale it to 4k makes the 1080p footage on YT look more like 720p

    I've also found that well streaming RUclips restricts the possible bitrate of the streams to 6K if streaming at 1080P or lower, I find I have to stream in 1440p in order to unlock the bitrate and stream at 9 k, now I'm also wondering if the codac it's different as well when livestreaming in 1080p vs 1440p?

    I just found out that 2048x1152 resolution is still 1080p, but. also triggers VP9! I have tested 120 FPS and lower resolutions like 1366x768 and 1920x1080, but these don't trigger VP9. So the minimum resolution seems to be 2048x1152, not 2560x1440. It also saves a little more storage than what 2560x1440 takes up.

      You can really just normally render your videos at 60fps and they will be processed in VP9 after an hour or two. Note that directly after uploading videos will be in AVC until VP9 has finished re-encoding

For me,who let’s say does gaming it is impossible to get quality higher than 360p on my video, and this is the case for a lot of small gaming creators, youtube is making it harder and harder for people to like their site, i at least wish they kept the 1080p 50fps requirement, if you now want to succeed in youtube and make money,you have to have both a good pc for editing, a good phone if you do mobile gaming, you need to not swear,only make shorts, not have twitter to not get cancelled and also on top of that you have to deal with whatever the new ceo has in store for us,man,i hate this site

    Surprisingly, no quality loss is to be observed to the naked eye !
    Problem solved, get rekt RUclips ;-)

      to have vp9 the easiest way is to upload your video at 1440p or higher, also, if your channel is not big enough, your video up 1080p will default to AVC1, after a while get thousands of views, it will automatically switch back to VP9 codec, only videos on big channels with 1 million views will automatically be uploaded to AV1, which is the best codec of RUclips, this doesn't depend much on that video resolution anymore

      Every 4K video will eventually encode in VP9 (if the video is over an hour it will take 1-2 days). Just don't use Safari to watch as it does not support VP9 at all

The only thing I know is I use the same software since 10 years, with the same setting for each render, I got vp9 before 2019 on full HD, not anymore. I get better result by re-incoding a full HD video to 4k (and losing quality in the process) than upload it and get the damn avc codec... to me the avc codec is similar to a jpeg quality 1/10 on photoshop. It totaly destroy the content, especially when you use motion blur effect, for static video showing only frames (like a stop motion) avc could be ok, but it's very specific, avc also gets better colors.
