Posting 4k videos on youtube 1080p#

Many free video editors are limited to exporting video in 1080p (1920x1080 pixels).

You can see that it functions in both the HTML5 player and Flash player. This is what the quality options look like. I created a short 3840x2160 test video using the mp4 format and H.264 codec ( YouTube recommended). With 2160p, that means YouTube is creating 8 videos from your upload (this is why 'processing' takes so long).

This is because YouTube creates individual videos for each quality level based on your uploaded file. It may take several minutes or longer before it shows up after you've uploaded the video. Then a new page will appear where you can drag and drop the file you want to upload and load the video. Step 1 Click the 'Create' button and choose 'Upload video'. If you upload a video that has a resolution of 3840 pixels wide by 2160 pixels high, YouTube will display the 2160p quality option in the settings (cog) for your video. Sign in to your YouTube account and follow the steps to begin uploading.
