So I'm getting a few questions about my bitrate export. I'm no expert and I'm always experimenting and constantly learning. For the past year or so I've been pumping the bit rate to 80/96. That's pretty high for YT indeed but the 4K footage is shot at 100 so think it's a nice place to target for good quality. My thought process is that I want to get as high quality as possible before YT starts to compress my files, that way I feel like I'm able to retain a higher quality. On YT's website, they recommend 44-56mpbs for 24-30fps 4K footage, but they also write this: _"No bitrate limit required, though we offer recommended bit rates below for reference"_
Sometimes I do go lower tho, like 40/48 or somewhere around there, I've had good results with lower bitrates as well. But mostly I do what I showed in the video and it has worked well for me, and since you guys have been asking about my quality I wanted to show you guys what I've been doing. However please share your thoughts, I would love to hear what you do and why. Let's learn and grow together!
Great vide with epic vibe behind it. 🔥👏An interesting approach to not clicking render at maximum depth. Now I'm curious how it can affect my export. 😉
There moments when I'm in a rush and don't want to have a huge size to be sure it's uploaded on time so 20Mbps with one pass render does the job as YT do its own compression anyway.
Like the idea to increase max Mbps by 20%. 👍
@@CreateGreg render at maximum depth uses 32-bit depth render, you use that when you have higher bit depth footage than the output, for example, if you soot 10 bits but you output Rec.709 for youtube, or if you are using 32 or 16 bit effects. If you shoot at 8 bits and export at 8 bits it will do nothing and it will take more time. A simple google search will get you that answer, hope it helps.
astrovlog Thanks Mate 👍
Man, you're doing it wrong, just to clarify some video concepts ... 2-pass VBR is a massive waste of time. Just crank the CBR as high as you possibly can. That's the workflow if you're uploading something that will be recompressed anyway. VBR is for size efficiency, especially 2 passes. You don't care about that. Well, you do, for final finals for your archiving purpose. But then again, Adobe isn't really the best for efficiency anyway. You'd be better of rendering massive bitrate CBR and then using Handbrake afterward.
Also, TH-cam doesn't care about your video quality that much, they care more about bandwidth and processing also ... so obviously, they will NOT recommend big bitrate CBR ... because, then you're making them work harder and costing them slightly more money, by uploading massive files.
Also, you said you don't need a higher bitrate than your source files, that's not true ... if you're gonna recompress your video 100x at the same bitrate ... it will look like shit. The process of recompressing is by definition a lossy one. At high bitrates, the losses are quite smaller, the higher you go with the bitrate, the less damage there is, so if you want to be one of those insane perfectionists with crystal sharp videos, pump the bitrate as much as you think you can handle in terms of file size to upload. They are really minimal changes to be super clear, but it does make some difference if you want to be technical.
It's like if you start with 90-JPEG .. and then each time you edit it ... you save it again as 90-JPEG ... well each time you do that .. you recompress from scratch and details get lost. H.264 is like that, except even more complex. Instead, if you start with 90-JPEG ... you would then save it as PNG or BMP and work with it that way ... before the very last step, where you compress it for efficiency ... but TH-cam does that for you. So you don't want to feed TH-cam efficient files, you're already losing detail there that way.
The problem is ... uncompressed video is truly gigantic, huge perfectionists know of lossless codecs, that still quite big (and are more of a thing for production workflow not upload) ... the next best thing is huge bitrate CBR ... VBR really makes more sense only at more reasonable bitrates anyway, especially with two passes.
BIG THANKS TO ALL OF YOU!
If you filming at 24 fps or 30 fps, and you are in a country with 50hz electricity, then you can just set your shutter speed to 50 instead of 60. It's close enough to 180 degrees and it will eliminate the light flickering. Same thing if you happen to be in a country with 60hz electricity, even if you are shooting at 24 fps you can set your shutter speed to 60 instead of 48 or 50 to reduce the amount of light flicker.
Great tip! Haven't really thought about it. I just end up switching modes lol.
Wow incredible tip, I'm speechless
Thanks!! Exactly the problem I was having. For the life of me, I could not figure it out. And just going down to 1/50 solved it like magic.
This was so so so SO helpful! Thank you!! Ahhh so excited to film with new settings :)
This is so beyond helpful. I'm getting an a6400 in the coming months, so I'm definitely saving this for later!
Another underrated youtuber who provides some crisp contents using his sony camera. I love the way he keeps us engaged while he talks about the settings used for his camera. This 'That Icelandic guy' deserves more from the photography community in youtube 👏
I found you lately and I am like how come I did not discover this channel earlier.
Awesome work dude , your content is top notch
I don't know why, but Arnúlfur, you have a special vibe about you, that kind of vibe I want to become friends with ❤️ Thank you for being you 😊
Thank you for this comment ❤🙏 it warms!
Yes..... Great vibe brother!!!
Keep it up!!! 👍🏻
That's true! He is so comfortable being him self! I love that!
Dude, I literally have re-watched this full video for at least 4-5 times every single time I edit a video. Love the content!!
Also, for VBR 2 pass, what would bitrate would you recommend for 1080p export?
Dude!!!!!!!!!! MASSIVE BIG UP on your channel.. I just found you and love what you make, simple lessons and information.. keep it up
Thank you for this! Your content is always top notch!
the picture profile section is worth GOLD! Thank you!
Your videos are always so nice and inspiring! Thank you for everything you do, you are a fantastic photographer!
many thanks man!
Thank you for those tips I just got one in the mail yessterday and now Im figuring out the settings
That beard is on point!!! Loved this video. Hugs from Argentina
This is best explanation video and the settings on I used for my a6300 and I kid you not, I was struggling for years and almost started hating the camera for not giving out results I wanted. Turns out I never watched this video. So, my dear, all I can say is THANK YOU!!!!!!!! I am literally crying... can't thank you enough...
I just purchased a Bmpcc 4k but I still own my Sony a6400 it’s so refreshing to see someone still talk, educate and showcase the Sony alpha series. I have a special place in my heart for the Sony alpha series having owned a6300 and now a6400. Even tho I have a Bmpcc 4k I still would use my 6400 as a second A camera opposed to calling it a B cam.
yea its super nice specially for it's size, my buddy has the bmpcc4k, it's a helluva camera!
I love your colour grading!
Thank you! Exactly the video for my a6400 setup that I needed 😍😍
Happy I could help!! ❤☺
Yeah, the Render at Maximum depth is a tricky one. I’ve exported with both, and still had great results... so not sure 🤔
I really like your style of explaining and the general vibe of the video! And damn, that video is crisp :P Awesome work!!
Great video, to the point with great info! Much love!
Lovely images! Good job Arthur!
I just picked up the a6300 after I sold it one year ago...I missed it so much!!
For everyday shooting this is the best camera available in the market (I made a video about it)... going around with a full frame camera is just not convenient.
always a treat when I see a notification for one of your videos
great video, really helpful tips
thank you always nice to see you here :)
You're easily my favourite photographer on TH-cam. Super helpful and charismatic! :D
Thank you!!
Straight forward and sensible! Earned a sub bud 👊🏿
HLG: BT2020, detail - 7(add sharpness in post) when shooting, ETTR, (set exposure from +0.3 to 1). Look into leeming luts correction luts for Sony HLG. Once the lut is applied, it's easy sailing, adjust to your liking. I'm gonna want to try CINE 4 now. Thanks.
very good guy and helpful information! thank you so much for this! We have the same camera so I can definitely learn and see the results and different settings coming out of it :)
Dude, I’ve had my a6400 for ages and I JUST learnt from this that you can set limits on ISO auto 🤣 thank you!
Great stuff bro. Solid fundementals 👌🏿
Love Your videos and how crisp they are. You must have a good connection with a high upload speed to upload such a large files (many gigabytes), but it is necessary for the quality we see. Cheers!
freaking love your acent! nice video
Hey! Love your videos! Amazing stuff. I am new to color grading, what are the few simple things you can recommend so I get around 80% of the crispness.
Thanks! Very useful! So much to learn. I'm gonna buy my first (in a lifetime) camera and start editing in a premiere pro also first time... For now soaking in all the good info! :)
Love your content man. Learning a lot from you. I wish I had known all of this video stuff and had my Sony a6500 when I visited Iceland with my wife 3 years ago. Back then I just had a Gopro and my footage was awful haha. Thanks for teaching us how to shoot and edit!
Next time you're equpped with that sony!! :) Thanks for watching!
thank you so much
your video really helped me in improving my video quality..
I LOVE LEARNING FROM YOU 🙏🏻👊🏻💚
I appreciate that
Basically its the bitrate that makes your footage sharp! I usually export client work etc at around 30-50 but you went even higher. Definitely gonna try that out. Only thing I'm hesitant with that is the huge file size. But yeah, gonna implement your tips!
Yea I understand you ☺ I sometimes do 40/48 that looks good to but I like the higher look. But it's true the file size are suuuper big lol
For client delivery I believe 30 is plenty. Depending on the client of course.
This vid is fire. Thx for all the tips. 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
grateful for this knowledge. thank you for sharing. -fellow Sony shooter
in a year you'll have a million subs, calling it now
Love the content man! Had to give you a sub - brand new to cameras and just got a a6400 . Cheers from California!
Great content, great delivery, fun and enjoyable to watch. Thanks Buddy!!! SUBSCRIBED 👍🏻😀
thank you!!! :)
gonna try this out soon
Great effort here! 👏 My fav is the idea to bump up max Mbps by 20% and curious how ’Render at Max Depth’ really affects the pic quality. 🤔
Nice tutorial bro. Thanks for sharing. Great LUTS by the way. Just got 3 packages.
Ah thanks a ton for the support!
Very informative thank you so much
Thanks for your tips, well appreciated :)
My pleasure!
Can you do portrait/ face shots/ close ups and family photos with this camera? Or full body shots? If so, do you recommend an additional lense or will the camera alone do the job?
Hi. Nice video and I learned a lot. I believe you use the Rode pro plus mic. What settings do you use both on your Sony camera and the mic to get the best audio?
Just made these adjustments to my camera setting - going to shoot tomorrow morning and spend a bit more time colour grading post-production. Great video!
How did i go? 🙂 this Video sounds very promising and exactly what i need
@domii8050 I film indoors, these settings were not for me. I'm not great at anything post production 😅
As always, great tips! 🙂👍🏻
Thanks for tuning in!
What’s the best way to expose cine4? Do you have to over expose like slog or just expose as normal?
Thanks a lot. I really love your videos, buddy. I just get 2 questions, please! 1. How do you expose your footage with Cine4. Is that From 0.0 to +1.0? And I was also taking a loot at another of your picture profile setting videos for Cine4, but it's different. Black level is 0 with 0 saturation as well, and manual Knee. Should I use this setting or the other one? Which one gets better results? Thanks again!
Thanks for the video. Can you show how you are navigating these menus?
Arigatogozaimashita sir ! I love this one ! 🙏🏼
Thank you TIG.
Love your vibe 😉👍
Hey mate, this is what i called a good Yt video, thanks for the info i will try to experiment with my videos
Good information brother, thanks for the video. God bless you! 🔥👍🏼
My pleasure!
Hi, what you sugest for movie film (low light with my A 6600 ,, Sony 35 mm. or the Sigma 16mm F/1.4 , thanks
Hello dear. Great video!! Helped me a lot with my near Sony A6400. I am a small and nw fish in the video process. I would like to know which software are you using to develop your post process footage?
This is going to help me loads with the adjustments I have been wanting to do on my Sony A6400. I just can't seem to get the clarity, smoothness, and sharpness on how I want my videos to look. And totally agree on being too white and looking unbalanced in videos. Love your content even sometimes I catch up slowly with your accent ✌🏻 But I do have the kit lens, maybe that's limiting the capabilities I want?
Better glass might help 👏🏿
Hey. I just subscribed. Thank you for the video. It answered a lot of questions. I'm want to buy an a6300 for shooting some amateur music videos. I already have a cheap Feyutech G6Plus stabiliser. Do you think i can get some nice quality shots with the pair and maybe some filters?
Your Sony footage looks awesome. Gonna try it with my A7iii. Sadly, my accent still won’t be as cool.
very helpful! thank you!
I just discovered your channel! Great work dude. That is all :D
Hey! Amazing video bro! I was wondering, do you really keep de 7gb video you got from the export!??! I mean isn’t that way tooo much file size?
Or which software would you advice for beginners?
Great presentation. Subscribed.
which video editor are u using here? and can u suggest a good course for video editing?
What focus modes do you recommend for portraits and everyday life (street photography)
Thanks!
so amazing and helpful
Can I request you do an in depth video of how u set ur zebra settings as well as histogram if you use it? That would be greatly appreciated to see from your point of view
I use zebras and histograms yea, and sure that's a super nice idea!
Hi what dial mode should we use on video recording ?? I cant change f stop when im video mode.
Thanks in advace
I was there with less than 1k subs and here you are with more than 20k subs. Keep going man!
Seen you around for a long ass time ye! ❤👊
@@thaticelandicguy just curious. What font are you using when "subscribe to the channel" pops up. I'll stay here for sure.
Oh, thank you for tips 🥳
I just subbed, my a6400 gets here on Thursday 😌
Excellent! Just a question, what camera and lens you used to film this video? (at 0:20)?
you always make me laugh. thanks for the great info and for entertaining us :)
Thank you very much, sir!
What setting should I have my camera on to get a nice clear and crispy recording? Seems like my videos come out slightly blurry and dull. Not sure what I did wrong.
Always with amazing tips 👏 great content 🎬📽️💡 #TeamAPSC
Biiig thanks!!
just subscribed! what a great channel you have!, what is the video software you use to color grade?
Cheers! Veeery helpful!
Thank for info
I test in my 6400
From north of iran❤🙏
Thank you!!!!
Great video
Can it work with the a7iii?
Man, you are a fantastic photographer. I bought the Sigma 16mm just because of your videos. You do absolutely amazing work. Keep it up man. Hopefully I can get as good as you.
Love from India 😊
Many thanks!! Such a nice lens right?
@@thaticelandicguy I ordered it. I haven't recieved it yet. Should get it tomorrow.
@@thaticelandicguy I got the 18-105 F4 with the A6600 which I got body only. But I don't enjoy the look of that lens. Just not sharp enough. And the F4 is too dark.
How much % you do in speed ramping when do slow motion at post, for shooting 4k 24fps
Great video thanks
The higher bitrate is one things makes the video sharper, the other is to just barely oversharpen...right before the image starts to break and go one setting less. One other important setting was the detail. You are using -4. That is interesting because others have concluded that -4 to -3 is the breaking point before getting that digital look. TBH, -7 makes skin look excellent...best I've seen. -4 or higher is best when you have people wearing makeup or a ceremony where everyone is all fixed up and you want to highlight detail and crispness. Otherwise, stick with -7. Excellent demonstration.
What lens did you use while talking to camera ?
what settings would you use with 6400 for live streaming?
What you think about ZV-E10 compare to a6400.All the same sensor 🤔
Amazing as always my brother,
And because of you I'll be buying Sony a6400 next month for commercial TH-cam videos.
Tell me again the first lens for videos.
Thank you again
Love and Peace
Bless you!
thank you! My first lens was the 18-105 really like that lens :)
@@thaticelandicguy thank you, Keep up the great work.
God bless you!
Would you use these same export settings if you were posting to Instagram?
Love your videos and style!
One thing, how did you remember everything to say in the exact order of your tutorial clips of your export settings?
I've done it 10000x over and over 😎
Thanks btw
Haha you are such genuine funny guy, love it. I recently bought a A6600 and a 4/18-105 lens. Only I was first planning to shoot in 1080p. But I’m very disappointed by the quality of the footage. Can you make a video on that? To improve that?! Cheers mate!
Thanks! Ok I see what I can do, I honestly only use FHD for the 120/60 fps :)
Are PP1 PP2....PP8 the same for a6300, a6400 and a6600?
Thanks you.
