20:1 Ratio?

[Daniel S]

Its good enough for YT videos right? They already compress the shiz out of the videos we upload so no need to use a better compression ratio right?

Erm... No. Also, not the same codec.

Anyways.

If you are looking to upload higher quality YouTube videos ideally what you want to do is upload a higher quality file because when you upload they re-compress your likely already compressed file.

If you are looking for REDCODE RAW Compression Ratio Advice. I personally try to shoot generally in 5:1-8:1 and often go up to 12:1 when over cranking.

No. I usually shoot 10/12:1 for youtube content, going past that will make you very, very sad during editing.
At the end I upload ProRes directly to YT.

Youtube compression has a "look."

It does smooth out some things but it also looks horrible in the 20's at lower resolution.
