Test 4K on YouTube

[Claus Mueller]

I‘ve just uploaded the first time a few seconds QuickTime 4K 2:1 ProRes Version on YouTube. Want to see how that works and if it looks better on the Web than an uploaded 1080p Version. This was shot on EPIC-X with Canon Mount and EF 85mm L II 1.2.:

I don't know if "original" is converted again to Youtube codec or not, probably with less compression, but it looks a lot better.
1080p H264 are converted again with a lot of extra compression.

I'm planning to finish my next videos at 2560x1080

cool! original looks way sharper indeed, great that youtube has this option

 

[Evan Boymel]

I agree. Even if their is extra compression coming from YouTube, footage set at "original" is at worst 2K which is still amazing for the web (or most movie theaters for that matter).

Nice test Claus.

Go Red, or Go Home.

 

[Zack McTee]

Replied on youtube, but figured I"d say so here too. This looks excellent! I was surprised to see how much better the original setting was than 1080p

 

[Anthony Vu]

wow. Amazing differences. 4k is super sharp.
