Hiya,

 

I'm really enjoying the quality of video from the a6300. I made a video of a trip to Tokyo Disneyland, but when I look at the published video in Youtube the maximum resolution available to view is 1440p. Why is this?

 

My settings:

  • L20M
  • 16:9
  • XAVC S 4k
  • 24p 100M Super 35mm
  • Creative style - vivid
 
I import the clips into imovie then export to Youtube. I'd like it in 2160/ 4k.
 
Any help, or redirecting to a more appropriate forum (I'm new, sorry) would be gratefully appreciated.
 
Thank you - Tim

That's because YouTube and similar websites will automatically recompress whatever you've uploaded. There is no work around. (despite what some websites will say)

 

Also, DON'T USE iMovie under an circumstances!!! It also recompresses your videos. There's a long story about how iMovie set back video recording several years by not working with higher quality encoding. It can't even handle AVCHD let alone XAVCS HD or real 4K.

 

Is there anyway to share high quality video online so all your friends and family can see what you shot? Not really. Other than burning your AVCHD or XAVCS video to a Blu Ray and mailing it to them.

 

4K video? Keep in mind they'll need a 4K TV to even play from a memory stick.

 

Sorry to sound so negative but this is one of the major problems with YouTube and iMovie. They don't like higher quality video.

Try Vimeo instead of youtube.

Also download a copy of Resolve 12.5 for your editing... its free for the non-Pro version, but it gives you a lot of pro tools!  Just need to check if you can export a 4k (UHD) video in the free version.... I think it will.

      Looking for an a7R mk I, (second generation)

      By NewSonyUsER · Posted

      I'm beginning to think that I have a misconception about the a7R. The one I was wanting had the shutter release button on the hand grip with a resolution of 36mp. It appears the button moved to the handgrip on the a7R II model, which had 42mp resolution.  Sorry for any confusion, I'm in the learning stage yet.  😕 I may need to go with the basic a7 II at 24mp. The 36mp (R) model had the shutter release on the camera body (which I didn't care for).

      I'd really like to find a package deal for an a7R (mk I, second generation) which includes the neckstrap and box. I've searched Ebay and currently no one is listing what I'm looking for. They either have the camera only or a first generation a7R and a lot of them don't offer the Sony neckstrap or box it came in. I know your site doesn't have a formal 'Equipment For Sale' thread and granted Ebay is a better place to sell gear but I thought I'd see if any of the members have one and would like to upgrade to a newer model but don't think anyone would be looking for one that old. The cameras I've been using are in the 20 megapixel range and rather than jumping to a 40mp camera due to file size, the 36mp that the first a7R has was appealing to me and wouldn't break the bank. I've been using Canon and Nikon but really want experience a Sony. If a post like this is undesirable for this website, I understand but I thought I would ask. Thank you.

      Any A7R iv A issues with 200-600 zoom?

      By SonyFF32137 · Posted

      Here's a good thread on the issue.... https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4571046 And here is the info on the A7RIVA that maybe explains why I don't see the issue...  The change in wording that caught my attention is that the new A7RIVA brochure says the structure has been "re-examined and redesigned." Don't know, but given the text of other parts of the brochures are copied word for word, the change in text here seems significant. My reading of this is that it is a redesign of the A7RIV. In that case, perhaps the 200-600 issues are less severe with the new body.
