A small question on how youtube handles the FPS conversion

Hi there,

I'm looking on how this works:

I record gameplay, say it has 15-25fps while recording (just an example) when I upload it to youtube, will YouTube make the video with their encoding to 30fps automatically, or do I have to use handbrake and make it 'constant fps' at 30 or something? I just want smooth video content.

I am well aware on how youtube limits you to 30fps, and I know if you uploaded something 31-60fps it gets downscaled to 30 fps, but again; the question is whether if you upload something that has a variable frameramte, would it auto convert to a stable 30 fps, or stay the fps of what the actual video file had?

I am asking this as I want to waste the least amount of time rendering, handbraking (file size reducer) and uploading (only got like 0.8mpbs upload)

thank you to anyone who can answer this question!
 
No, it will maintain the lower frame rate. If you're recording gameplay and it's under 30 fps it's always best to pass through handbrake, but it also depends on editing software. Sometimes <30fps will cause audio sync problems yet sometimes at 25fps the audio is perfectly in sync. Also depends on your recorder. I'd say anything under <25fps handbrake it. If it's >25fps and looks smooth without audio issues then upload.
