Youtube upload quality (with a network)

[Wrice4]

I think I know the answer to my own question, but it wouldn't hurt to ask. Just because people join networks, does not mean they can upload higher quality videos, example: higher bitrate videos.....am I correct on this? Doesn't youtube cap 1080p videos at 8,000 bitrate and 720p at 5,000 bitrate?

Another question on topic: If I upload a raw video straight from my elgato game recorder - to youtube - the quality is better than if I edit that in vegas pro and render it....I have the vegas pro settings as 1080 and 12k bitrate with the best quality render settings. If youtube caps both videos at their standards, then why wouldn't they be the same quality rather than the raw video having a better quality image?

I hope I put this in the correct subforum, It could go into many ones, but the main question was about partnership uploads.

No, channels partnered with networks don't have access to any extra quality options. Only related thing is that all channels in good standing can upload unlimited length videos.

I would guess your render settings are lowering the quality in some way, but pretty hard to tell from that description.

I don't believe so, all videos uploaded are switched to YouTube's video defaults (360p, 720p, 1080p, at 30 FPS) during the processing phase. However I have seen a few videos that are 1440p, but I don't know how they did that (render settings?).

Raw gameplay are always super duper large (1 GB per minute of footage usually), that's why people render the gameplay to try to compress the file size. but if you have the internet speed then by all means go ahead and upload raw gameplay.

Thats what I am thinking, but I have it set on 1080, 12k bitrate (which is more than cap), best render quality settings, 192 audio...

I have no idea about Elgato and its quality, I have a HD PVR 2 and I have always rendered through Vegas Pro. Either way I don't see and quality difference whether it is a raw file or compressed. Plus to add onto that I always render in 720p because not many people would watch 1080p because either the internet connection or they don't have decent monitor to watch 1080p. See what other people say

If you click my signature video(rendered) and then watch this raw one,
it seems, at least to me, that the raw video looks like a better quality. Can somone judge as well? Maybe it is just my mind telling me its better, when its not.

The first thing I need to do, in sony vegas pro 12, after opening the video, is right click it and disable resample and uncheck maintain aspect ratio. Is this correct?

I save that until after I am done editing. Tap "D" twice to access the "Selection Edit Tool" (

), once it's selected click and drag the box over all of your video footage (if any audio is selected it won't work) until all the footage is highlighted, after that go to "Edit" > "Switches" > click "Disable Resample". Voilà, you are ready to render!

Thanks, I will do that. Do I need to uncheck the maintain aspect ratio box as well?

I don't uncheck it because I have no idea what it does.

Also if this box pops up when you import a video just click "No".

When yall upload a video to youtube, or render it in sony vegas, what file type do you use? I am currently using mp4.
