BULLSHIT. I've uploaded 4K videos for about two years now, and never had to wait more than 48 hours for the 4k option to show up- the last video I uploaded used all the SAME hardware and settings to encode the video, two very similar videos=both were 9 and 1/2 minutes in length and same file size uploaded. RUclips has done something that messed with the 4K play option in the player. NONE of my computers or devices had the 4K option with the latest video I uploaded, even after 3 days! and the editor mode showed the SD, HD, and 4K processing had all completed!
@@SonicBodhi1 yeah well, depends on the internet speed, and duration of the footage. And you must admit that your exampke of uploading for 48 hours for a 10min video is not really category fast too, right
I am a new you tuber who just does it for fun and when my first video uploaded earlier today it was in 360p but looked 144p so i went looking and i found this video it told me that there is way more steps to uploading a good video then i relised it really helped me you earned my sub
Ok so here's my situation. I want to re-upload a video I published on a previous account to this one. The video uploaded in HD on my previous account, but it will only process in SD on this account. Don't understand why. Shouldn't it upload in HD?
Agreed. And I want all of my videos unlisted but in this video it didn't show how to get the video in HD if it is going unlisted. If I schedule it, then it will be public and I don't want it public.
A golden tip is to schedule your video for the next day. That way you give your video plenty of time to finish processing all the different qualities. Also if anyone has a video that is stuck on only SD then you may need to reupload it. I've just had this issue today and had to reupload it because it was bugged and YT didn't recognise it was a 4k video. So now I reupload it properly processed the video to true 4K
@@Kieoryy instead of clicking "Publish Now" or "Public" you click on visibility and click on "Schedule". Set the date to tomorrow and the time you wish to upload to but another great tip for this is to look into your analytics and see when most of your viewers are online and upload at that time. So for example when I upload a 4K video I would Schedule it to tomorrow 27th December at 14:00 and wait until the next day for it to automatically publish your video to public
@@roderickgful yeh I get you and personally I won't do it just in case it ruins the 24 hour window because that's the most important 24 hours so I'm not sure if RUclips would still promote it the same as public or scheduled since its private
Me in the beginning of the video: "nah, I'm sure I already know all that" Me at certain points of the video: "no way! cool! didn't know that!!!" Thanks, mate!
I just took your advice and it worked!!! THANK YOU SO SO MUCH! I'm new to vlogging and have been struggling in terms of uploading my video and keeping its 1080p quality after but haven't been successful until I watched your video ! I'm so happy!💖💖💖
This was extremely thorough. The only question I have, which you didn't quite cover (unless I missed it), is, if you're uploading a video that was shot in 4K, do you need to do anything while setting up the upload to make sure it uploads at 4K, or does RUclips just know that it's 4K and that this is the resolution that you want it to be?
@@streetdestroyerstv1354 unfortunately but while you wait just add your video to the unlisted section then periodically check to see if it is 4k then you can make it public
Freaking A right, a RUclips tutorial video that just jumped right into it and explained everything in a streamlined manner. I was unaware of the post upload HD processing.
thank you sooooooooooo much. I was scared because I just uploaded a video and it was 360p and I was like "what the gygvyfg??????" this helped me a lot thanks
Ironically this answered every question except the one by which I came to this video in the first place: How do I upload in 4K instead of merely 1080p? You seem to have that option in your example yet I don't when I look under my quality. Is it something where you need so many subs or views to do?
Colin - This is an incredibly valuable and insightful video. You do an excellent job explaining each point and also its importance. Many thanks! I'm looking forward to watching your other videos now!
Hey Sue! I'm so glad that you enjoyed and found value in the video :) If you have any requests for other videos that would be helpful - definitely feel free to let me know! Thank you for your support!
How you doing my friend I was just wondering how do you record it on your phone and then put it on your computer to upload it on to RUclips that's my only question for now
Great video ! Quick Q , how do i get the HD option ? I have uploaded a 1080 video many times and i just get the SD option :( can you help me plz ! Thanks !
Thanks for your sharing. I'd like to know why some of my videos were successfully uploaded on 4K version, and some of the rest were not. Even if I didn't make different treatments when I uploaded them.
Brilliant video for new RUclipsrs like me. I've been trying to upload Vlog, 26 mins long with 3840 x 1800 resolution & it is stuck on 'Processing HD Version, SD Version complete'. There's no progress bar or time remaining info, just HD sign blinking. Any help on this would be really appreciated. Thanks !
seriously mate this helped me a lot I was looking everywhere for all this info in different clips but I got it all in one . Definitely helped me a lot thanks bro 🤜
Great information. I had to rewind several times to understand but I got it. Always wanted to know about all that garbage. You did a great job of explaining it. Thanks for making the video.
Does anyone know if there is a way to make the video that you post on youtube always play in the highest quality on the "Viewers" screen? Like this one we just watched above for example. It looked amazing and i didn't have to click "Settings" and adjust on my end. For example, if I uploaded a video in 1080P on youtube and it played for viewers as close to that as it could. Thanks readers!
i have uploaded my video that is 4K in my iPhone gallery, but when i uploaded it to RUclips it loads as 4K but the quality is super bright and overexposed. How can i fix it??😭
watched your video found it very helpful thx for that. i have a question though, my video that im having issues with was shot in 8k its currently only 360p and was uploaded 4 days ago does this seem like a valid amount of time or is there a problem
This was helpful! So bascially, if you want to have high quality uploads--you need to record, edit and export a high quality video! Got it! Thanks---time for a little more research
Your video lighting and color settings are perfect. Do you have a video on how to make sure the color correction is set (assuming the quality of video is decent in 4k) to make sure it doesn't get washed out or there's too much red after youtube upload? I see videos distorted in terms of color not sure why.
content is king. i have seen scruffy uncombed pimply old men, with 2 million views, and combed groomed lilac backlight greenscreen pc reviewers with 2000 views only. So, so unless you are earning 150,000$ a month already with your channel, 3000 dont go spending 3000 on a camera, and another 500$ on other stuff thinking polish will bring success to the channel. the informative or interesting content, and useful content, gets shared, and liked, and subscribed. An elvis haircut and narcissistic try to become some kind of handsome star lke 'mr whose the boss' may work, if you bend over to youtube and advertise sponsors who are rippoffs, telling your subscribers it is good (e.g. Nord VPN service, which is a ripoff and is not useful, as streaming services recognise a vpn these days and forbid you to watch/listen, and provide no privacy either, in contrary to their claims)
Our videos that we upload are always in SD and HD but it automatically plays them in SD to the viewer, this is not good as it can make the video 'grainy'. Is there anyway of specifying to YT that your video uploads should only be played to viewers in HD? Great video BTW, very helpful.
I've had no issue uploading 4K videos until recently. None of my videos are over 4 minutes. Regardless of resolution size when uploading, they are only posting in HD. Usually it takes at most 1 hour to process the 4K. It's been 4-5 days or more since my recent uploads, and they're still only HD.
The one thing you didn't cover is the 4K video tutorial of the desktop that has text that is way to small to see or read, I believe there is a way to scale 4K videos so that people on YT can actually read it
Ok, your information is helpful thank you BUT I still didn't; get the answer why RUclips messed up with the quality of my video ? My video on iMovie looks great but as soon as I schedule posting on RUclips I have noticed my uploaded video look terrible. I had to delete the video and now trying to figure out how to change to the highest quality before I re upload again
Hi Colin - I have a VERY important question - for everybody! And I hope you have an answer. When I shoot a video (cell phone or my Osmo pocket 2) and upload directly to RUclips - it is looks great... (we talk about quality of video - not my content)) And, problems start WHEN I upload video to RUclips after rendering Davinci Resolve _ no matter how I uploaded in high resolution HD or 4K it is look not clear... Do you have an Idea what's the difference? Yesterday I make the test: Uploaded video as is, then rendered same video in different resolutions... and original seen clear all others bad.
