Hi everyone, I'm using Vegas Pro 18 to edit video for a YouTube channel themed around drone footage of local beauty spots. Can anyone advise on the best format to rended as for 4K YouTube playback? The raw footage is 3840 x 2160 MP4.

Thanks in advance.

As for Render format, you can start with Magix AVC/AAC MP4 - Internet UHD templates and select the match frame rate of what is your source media is (usually between 29.97p or 25p)

Been getting good turn around and results uploading 4k and 2k renders made with Magix Hevc presets. I drop down to 2k for some projects if I did much digital zooming of 4k footage. Or in mixed 4k/hd multicam projects to minimize any noticeable changes in quality as I switch between cameras. Seems to be a sure way to insure that YouTube does vp9 on it's end.
