Question / Help Offline recording for youtube

[SirChick]

Hello

If youtube use 30FPS for video is there any point in recording at 60FPS ? I've never understood how to get good quality for offline recording =/

Is there a decent guide out there on that?

I don't think Youtube support for 60 FPS video is available to everyone yet, so if you don't have access to it then there's no point in uploading a 60 FPS video. Youtube does a poor job of transcoding 60 to 30 anyway, so it also won't be as smooth as a normal 30 FPS upload.

O.K, so if I record at 60 and then edit it to 30 in say Premier Pro would that lower file size ? Or does that create weird visual artefacts on the video and so not worth doing??

Recording the video at 60 FPS for editing purposes and then re-encoding it at 30 FPS for the Youtube upload should work fine, assuming you know what you're doing in Premier and don't set some kind of weird/terrible encoding settings.

I'll ask on Premier forums for help on that ! :) thanks!
