Hello together!
Today I stumbled across something very interesting regarding Youtube. This might only interest someone that uploads often (1-x videos a day).
I will only try to give back what I read, so it's not based on my own knowledge/experience, but was proven with video links to show the difference.
To get a good quality on Youtube there are 3 factors (pretty much):
-Resolution
-FPS
-Bitrate
Problem with Youtube is that the Bitrate is limited, to achieve better quality a higher bitrate is needed. A simple trick allows you to do this (remember, this is only useful if you don't upload above 1080p).
Rendering a video in 1152p and 41 FPS unlocks 1440p and 60 FPS on Youtube. The useful sideeffect is, that is also allows you a higher bitrate for your video. Let's say you uploaded in 1080p and 60 FPS, if you just increase the 1080p to 1152p, the resolution will look the same on 1080p, but the quality will be better due to higher bitrate. The 41 FPS are only useful if you normally upload in 30 FPS.
This is only useful to use the most out of your time. Rendering in 1440p will have a better quality if someone watches in 1440p, but most don't. Now you could say "I just render in 1440p, because 1440p will look better compared to 1152p". True, but that's only useful if the person looking at your video can benefit from/use it.
I only posted this because it was very useful for me. I have to render in 1080p and 30 FPS since my Computer can't handle more (mostly regarding the 30 FPS, my computer slows down a lot while recording).
I went for 30 because I was always around 40-45 FPS ingame and didn't want to render this to 60 FPS.
With aboves knowledge, I can scale it up to 1152p and 41 FPS, purely to unlock higher bitrates and get a ~4x higher bitrate (370%) with around 60% more effort (rendering time).
