Thanks for your tips thinking of starting my own channel 🙏🏽

[@thewrenchreviews9986]

I use Hitfilm Pro for videos and Reaper for music and audio.

[@PlantBasedDads]

FCPX baby. Go big or go home!! I am also using the Canon M50 per your recommendation about 6 months ago. Love it!!

[@AllInWellness]

I use WeVideo! It was the easiest software for me to get started with and not be overwhelmed. It's inexpensive as well since I recently launched my Fitness channel last month - would love for you and your friends/family to tune into my Full-Length At-Home Workouts! :)

[@EtoneBoy]

I love your Channel ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@BestBibleStories]

Megabits (Mb) and megabytes (MB) sound identical, and their abbreviations use the exact same letters, but they certainly don't mean the same thing. It's important to be able to distinguish between the two when you're calculating things like the speed of your internet connection and the size of a file or hard drive. I always go for the highest quality so my main preset is Mp4 / h.264 / 1920x1080 / 30fps / Target Bitrate 30 Mbps / Max Bitrate 62.5 Mbps / Profile High / 2 Pass VBR / Audio Bitrate 320 / 48000 Hz

[@moneywax1258]

A lot of KZbinrs post videos on best export settings but the in-depth details you went into and explanations on why the one to two setting are the best, well done.

[@OverdriveMusic]

FIIIINALLLY! Someone who is informative, isn't annoying, has a decent microphone, and explains things perfectly! Thank you!!!

[@fellpower]

Isnt annoying? You have no ears....non stop talking....thats annoying

[@isaactucker-rasbury710]

I was watching another creator discuss this video's topic and out of the corner of my eye I saw THINK. I clicked off of the other video so fast. I'm a big Think Media fan and love the work. Thanks for these tutorials

[@ajfamily206]

With your help, I downloaded Premiere Pro and did what you showed us. My videos are extremely clear and I’m happy with that result. Thx again and I’m a new subscriber now lol

[@DoeRaeMe]

I searched many videos for a simple easy explanation(which only you had), so I am saving your video for future reference from this day forward!

[@dennav9961]

Finally a youtube bitrate video guide that makes sense, I don't get why others says to upload very high bitrate like 50000 when youtube only recommends 10000 for 1080p

[@pooliightxmoon]

I've been use Premiere for about 1 year now, but I've always had trouble with the export settings. Very helpful :)

[@andrewscot8553]

This video still stands up years later. Love it!

[@SidebandSamurai]

Great series, loved all the parts. I don't know why but young people love to drop the T's in Important and Buttons. I hear "imporuhant" or "Buuhons" but watch this video and listen to how you say important and button. You literally drop the "Ts" in both of those words. You are not the only content creator that does this. I hear it in all the younger content creators. I was always taught to annunciate correctly. All your videos are packed full of great tips, and thank you for all the time you put into these videos.

[@MyMotorcycleObsession]

Another thing you can do is export a 10 second clip from your video instead of the whole thing. It will process fast and you can see the quality and get an idea of the file size. Sometimes the file size after export is really different than the estimated size as shown in the software. And with a 10 second clip not only can you see the quality but you can also multiply by a factor of 60 which gives you a file size for a 10 minute video. My problem is that I'm doing motovlogging and want the high quality, but the file size is nearly 2 gigs for a 20 minute video at 60 frames per second. With my slow internet it takes me 12 hours to upload a 2 gig file LOL. But the results look amazing.

[@rocketbuilder]

Thanks so much for talking about highlighting your whole video so it will all export. I couldn't figure out why only 1 second of my video was exporting until u pointed that out. THANKS SO MUCH!

[@nolanmolt]

Great video Sean!! I use FCPX and just export my videos as a H.264 file. Keeps it small file size yet still has good quality too! You just hit File - Share - Master File - (then click settings) and Change the Video Codec to H.264. Hit "next" then save it wherever you like!!

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Thanks for the breakdown Nolan ... FCPX peeps check this out

[@PinchTune]

Yeah... I'm not sure I agree with the bit-rate recommendations. I upload mostly in 60FPS because I do action drone videos. At first I was using the recommended 16Mbps at 1080p and I was noticing quite a bit of artifacts after it was uploaded and processed. Then I started exporting at the same bitrate as the source, generally 45Mbps for a GoPro Session 5 set to Protune and 1080p/60. As much as the file size is a problem at that rate, I could clearly see KZbin is doing a better job when crunching it. Your mileage may vary.

[@SpartanA73]

Most helpful video on this topic so far. I can't express my gratitude in words, so consider this a virtual hug. Thank you!

[@Kurzo]

Thank you so much, couldn't figure out why 1080p 60 fps lookedd like 144p, the bitrate part saved me

[@therealyou5824]

i LOVE YOU, Sean! You have taught me soo much about creating good videos!! I don't know where I'd be without you!!

[@FlyingRedTailHawk]

I also feel that he is a great teacher. He has helped me as well get my channel started and has allowed me to keep it going.

[@GaryCantrell]

I was doing something similar to this previously and then I saw a video that Peter McKinnon put out about exporting in 4K even if its 1080p and switching to a 2:1 ratio which is optimized for mobile (IE: fills more of the screen on an iPhone XS or XS Max) Since trying that out it appears that KZbin doesn't compress my videos as much as previously and they look a bit more sharper. This probably isn't for everyone but I felt it was worth sharing.

[@RobbScholarTube]

Would love to see a tutorial on that.

[@niiayi]

am always happy to watch your videos, its really helping me with my wedding videos and all telling great stories from Ghana, Africa to the world on my channel. am growing

[@thedoxeyreel]

[@KeepingItGeekly]

Great information, helpful 2 years later 💪🏻

[@BradNewton]

Whenever you see "Mb", it means megabits not megabytes (abbreviated "MB"). They are different units of measurement (i.e., 8 Mb = 1 MB)

[@pactalksalot]

thanks for the info.

[@MinistryOfMagic_DoM]

I appreciate this. I don't use Premier often, but I have to do it for projects sometimes and I always forget how to export a video. I also appreciate you showing the "Why" for your reasoning for selecting these settings. Worked perfectly for my needs.

[@TheCluelessReefer]

First of all, great video! I'm a bit confused though - I did my first export no problem but on my last two videos I've edited, the Maximum bitrate is no longer an option. Basically no matter if I'm in Custom or one of the KZbin presets - Target Bitrate is the only option I get. Did Adobe remove this feature?

[@dirface]

Premiere and Media Encoder already comes with export presets for KZbin and a vast array of other platforms.

[@TheHukomsinQueensland]

But his tip made it so much quicker than the preset ones.

[@Bacontats]

Premiere kinda sucks for me cause i got to KZbin and processed my video, and low and behold, no sound whatsoever. Still can’t get it to work, and can’t figure out why that’s happening.

[@TheHukomsinQueensland]

@@Bacontats uhmm what could be the problem. Never had that problem

[@Bacontats]

@@TheHukomsinQueensland I think one problem could be the file itself. It's an mv4 not an mp4 file, and I can't seem to convert it over. I can upload the mv4 file, but every time I do, no sound. Little things they don't' tell you about when you try to make a video :)

[@TheHukomsinQueensland]

@@Bacontats i'm sorry I ask lots of qiestion why do use mv4 as your extension? Coz I always use mp4

[@ruthannkelly]

Thank you! I am learning Premiere Pro for work and your video just saved my project! Definitely going to go watch more of your videos!

Correction: Mb and MB are not the same thing: in fact to 1MB = 8Mb ("ps" stands for per-second)

[@Bormac073]

Long time watcher and subscribed. Very helpful. Thank you Sean

[@AureEntuluva14]

Great video! Be careful, though, mega bits and mega bytes are different. The bitrate for KZbin is in Mbps - mega bits. There are 8 mega bits to 1 mega byte.

[@MrHak_Lifestyle]

Jeremy Atkins how should I set in Adobe premiere if I use IPhone 6s to shoot 4K 30fps?

[@AureEntuluva14]

@@MrHak_Lifestyle I'd still follow KZbin's guidelines. Is just important to understand that the bytes and bits are different. You may want to save a higher quality export for yourself and could use a higher bitrate than you originally thought and if you have the storage.

[@bambobee3931]

@@AureEntuluva14 You are right. Many don't understand wot is MB and Mb. 1 byte = 8 bits. :)

[@nabbyboyy]

I'm finding there is no more "Maximum Bitrate" option slider when. using VBR 1 pass on Premeire Pro 2020. Are you seeing that as well? Workarounds?

[@ZhouHaibo]

Just change to VBR 2 in the drop options then you will see it.

[@dv8961]

@@ZhouHaibo Thank you for this!

[@householdhacks]

another tip is even through youtube says you can don't go below 30 fps or it can corrupt some frames/audio when youtube generates low res copies and caches them to servers. same with using anything other than h264 as youtube will re encode it to h264 causing slight to severe quality loss. using a lossless format isn't too bad but using h 265 will kill the quality.

[@GuapoJoe]

My video was taking 8+ hours to render and upload to KZbin. After this video and changing my setting my video took under 30 minutes... Thank you!
