  • Best/Good settings for my computer?

    Posted by Lukáš Koukal on December 28, 2013 at 2:28 am

    Hello guys,

    I am new to both this webpage and mostly, to the rendering itself. Just about a week ago I started to record videos on my computer using paid version of XSplit Broadcaster (I am recording while I am also streaming) so I am recording in full HD mp4 format.

    I also got Sony Vegas 12, 64bit version and I am using it to trim unnecesary parts of video and render it. I am then uploading the videos on the YouTube. So far I was really just trying pre-set stuff at random but I would like to do this more efficiently as I either lose too much of the quality or the rendering takes way longer than it probably should at least when I compare it with multiple times posted on various forums or seen in different YouTube tutorial videos.

    Even though I tried few of the settings that multiple users post on YouTube, I never really got the same result as they did, always getting worse or even way worse result on either quality, render time or even both.

    My computer specs are:
    CPU: Intel i7-4770 3,4GHz with TurboBoost up to 3.9GHz
    GPU: GeForce GTX 760
    RAM: 16 GB
    OS: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
    I also have both classic HDD and a SSD.

    Could anyone tell me what would be the best or at least somewhat optimal settings? And also should I first render it and then manually upload it to YouTube or would the Upload to the YouTube be same/better?

    Thank you all very much beforehand.

    Do you have a Youtube video to view? What don’t you like about it?

    This is a free plugin that allows you to easily render and upload a project to youtube. I use it all the time.

    Here’s a link to the tutorial on it. It’s called “video4youtube”

    Steve, Roger, have you used the direct from VP12 Timeline? Works for me. Have you tried it?

    [Lukáš Koukal] “Could anyone tell me what would be the best or at least somewhat optimal settings?”

    I would use MainConcept AVC/AAC with the Internet HD 1080p template. That should give you outstanding quality.

    I would try WMV as the format and to reduce file size, I would render at 29.97FPS.

    No Israel, That is not a good format to try for that!

    I use what John Rofrano suggested- the MainConcept 1080p video for Internet. My YouTube videos look fantastic with the above render choice.
