Best Bitrate for YouTube Videos with 60FPS at 1080p, 1440p & 4K

The best bitrate for YouTube videos with 60FPS at 1080p, 1440p and 4K for the highest video quality on YouTube! I provide quality metrics for each bitrate & resolution combination to find the sweet spot of the best visual quality and lowest file size. Additionally, I discuss the benefit of up-scaling both 1080p and 1440p videos to gain better quality on YouTube.

You can not even imagine how much i was searching for information like this and in this depth! Amazing job as always! Very underated i am sure 1 day you will be on top!

[DracuPlays]

why are you so underrated bro? You always help regarding the things which i want to explain to other people!🎉

[RaykinaBreaker]

I'm noob when it come to encoding so your simple explanation was very appreciated.
I don't have a powerful PC but I can still manage to upscaled 1080p to 1440p. For me that's enough.

You dont know how much time I was searching for this exact topic on google until I find your video. Thank you so much. Liked and subscribed.

When you set the davinci project settings to 1440p then drag in 1080p footage, doesn't it stretch that footage to fill the canvas and make it look awful? I'm just a bit confused, I was thinking when working with 1080p 50k bitrate footage you would keep your davinci project's timeline settings at 1080p to edit the whole video, then in the render tab you would choose 1440p 60k bitrate, and it would work some sort of space magic to make it better haha. Can you clarify? Thanks!

[stirringsfromwithin]

I'd love the same sort of video for 30fps :-) So far, this one has been great. Thanks!

[adamt.borrowmanmr.mattobei]

The question is why does YouTube videos have the 1080p enhanced bitrate option or the 1440p and 2160p without the enhanced bitrate?

I made a new channel to upload strictly game content (mostly walking around Cyberpunk 2077). I love learning these nerdy details. Thank you for your videos. I just watched your one on 264 vs 265 and had similar results

I remember doing a bunch of tests of my own years ago to find the best compromise of file size/render time/visual quality. Took me days to settle on something and haven't dared look into it again. I would've killed for something like this back then!
It just so happens that I've upgraded my rig recently and can now afford both bigger files and higher bitrate due to faster hardware, so I'm incredibly thankful I didn't have do all those rest renders again. Thanks for all the hard work that went into this! I sure do appreciate it and I'm sure many others do as well

[iCEadDerGaming]

Thanks again for your analysis. They are very helpful and help those of us who upload videos to YouTube. Congratulations for your work.

What difference Automatic (best) and Restrict to 60.000kbs ? And key frames automatic or every 30 frames for recording gameplay ? (i m new to Da Vinci ) but i already tested one video and worked fine.

[DariusZanfir]

What bitrate you're using for gopro's ?
I'm interested about 4k at 30 fps for a smooth and good playback.
Thanks, Darius

You recommended upscaling 1080p to to 1440p at 60Mbit/s, but what about upscaling your 1080p video to 4K? Would that not be better than upscaling to 1440p? And if so, why did you not recommend that? lol. And also what bitrate would you recommend for upscaling from 1080p to 4K if that does in fact yield better results than upscaling to 1440p?

[CheeQuYT]

Hey! I noticed at 4:17 your key frames are set to every 30 frames instead of automatic (which what i see people recommend in general). is there a reason for this? Thank you!

[AlexOtranto]

Really great job! Now, these bitrates are perfect for H.264/H.265 formats, but how about AV1? Do i have to decrease the bitrate by some percentage? Cause I have an RTX 4080 and I want to use AV1, since it is more efficient. Thank you as always for your hard work!

[MarylandDevin]

Would you happen to have any input, or a video on what color formats to use? E.g., NV12 8bit 4:2:0 2 planes vs something like I444 8bit 4:4:4 3 planes. Youtube reccomends 4:2:0 color subsampling for non hdr content. But they also reccomend .264 encoder. Im not sure how much I trust their own reccomendations.

[SiyaFPS]

watched the video 2 times but still confused. by setting the resolution to 2560x1440 while exporting, i am avoiding avc1 codec too. but i dont know what bitrate should i choose. i'm recording on 50000 kbps on obs. but while exporting in premiere pro, i choose higher bitrates just in case. (like 80-100 bitrates)

[haurjie]

I edit and render at 4K60, H.265, 10-bit picture profile, no raw clips, should I be using constant or variable bitrate?

[eguilarwardrop]

What would be Your Recommendation on 2560x1600 resolution in terms of Upscaling or Not and also the Specific Bitrate to Render, Keeping 16:10 ratio for the Final Result?

[enchantedrockview]

Thank you for this video! How can I set this up in Final Cut Pro? Would I have to use Compressor or just the base app?
