Render Settings – MSP
Looking to figure out best render settings for Internet (Facebook or Youtube/Vimeo)
Previously I had followed advice and used:New project
Match media settings
Quality = bestRender as Mainconcept AAC/AVC
1280 x 720
Progressive
2=pass
Max 12,000,000
Avg 8,000,000However, this is 6+ year old advice, and FB now accepts 1080
Should I be using instead Sony AVC/MVC
Having bought ver16 of MSP … have new codec choicesMAGIX AVC/AAC MP4
MAGIX HEVC/AAC MP4Should I move to H265 and use HEVC ?
Of course welcome other suggestions if better.

Hi Rick,
I have found the best render is to follow the recommendation of Youtube and maybe up the bit rate and use 2 pass, as you have indicated you currently do (if render times is not an issue). Here is some information from Youtube that can be found on the web…..
——————————————————————————————————————————-
Bitrate
Bitrate is highly dependent on video codec. YouTube published recommendations on bitrate value. See the table below. If you convert video for YouTube, please try to stick to it.Best video bitrate for YouTube upload
Codec
Most suitable codecs for YouTube are H.264, MPEG-2 or MPEG-4. These codecs are used in most modern videos, so you’ll hardly need to change this parameter.

I think form your options Sony AVC and/or Magix AVC would provide for a bit more quality than the Legacy Mainconcept AVC, and if you want to get a bit better with a smaller file size, run a high bit render from SVP through Handbrake using x.264.Perhaps other members have a more specific render recipe for HD-60p they feel is better. Also keep in mind that Youtube accept up to 4K now, so if your project are in a higher resolution than FHD, that may be an option to get get higher quality in your Youtube uploads.
Best Regards……George
