  What export settings should I use for YouTube in VEGAS Pro?

  I’m trying to get good image quality while keeping the file size reasonable. What resolution, bitrate, and format would you guys recommend for YouTube?

  If it’s going to YouTube, file size doesn’t matter!

  Hey!For YouTube, I’d generally render at the same resolution and frame rate as your original footage. For 1080p, an H.264 MP4 with around 12–20 Mbps usually gives a good balance between quality and file size. For 4K, you can go higher, around 35–45 Mbps.
