Sorry if this post is in the wrong forums, but I'm looking for some good youtube compression settings?

Thanks
 
+1 on the thread Les linked to. :-)

My recommendation: upload your 4K footage to YouTube in the highest quality version of ProRes you can without surpassing the accepted file size limit. If your video is short (only a few seconds/minutes long), consider uploaded an 8/10-bit uncompressed file. However, avoid submitting H.264-encoded content if at all possible.

That said, if you absolutely have to upload an H.264 file, upload one with a data rate of 10-20 Mbps encoded at High Profile, Level 4.1 using a multi-pass conversion (which is more than two passes depending on the software you're using; I recommend the MainConcept encoder in Sorenson Squeeze or Adobe Media Encoder CS6).

Audio should always be left at 16-bit, 48kHz LPCM.
