1080 vs 720 60fps

[Leathel]

The quality drops when you load to youtube so I thought I would try the 720 setting and see if you could tell the difference, not fast runs as I was guiding a states side guest and no point going quick and him missing the scenery ....So which is the 1080, light house trip or Port Waikato trip?

Trying to embed these videos but cant seam to get it sorted.

I couldn't tell the difference in crispness or clearness.

YT is in control not you, they set there own standards when you upload it.
As small as the view is  720 may be overkill.

[Cracker Jack]

Both good but I thought the Port Waikako Trip was a little better.

Just so you know, the max resolution available on both of those videos is 480p.
I thought it was something wrong with my setup, but every other video I checked on had much higher resolutions.
Are you sure your videos didn't get down sampled when you rendered them?

Regardless of what your original video was coming from the camera, I suspect your output is set way too low in the app you're using to convert to Youtube's format.

But the first seemed to be just a tad bit better. Must be the converter is better.

They transmogrify whatever you send them, so what you start with
won't be what ends up there.

They say that if you start with this, what you end up with will be
as good as possible...

Very good point, I will have to see if the default setting has changed on the last software update.... I think I saved both raw projects so should be able to do it at better settings if it has changed...Will try to remember to check tonight (at work ATM)

I know I do not notice any difference watching TV either 1080p or 720p to be honest do not really care much.  My neighbor who is a techy guy thinks he has to spend 2K to get the latest and greatest HDTV resolution that is out there vs. my 250 dollar 1080p TV of which I really do not notice any difference in my TV vs. his.  Even if I did, I would not care the picture is good enough for me sure beats the olden days of rabbit ears and antenna on the roof with rotor box.

uploaded a full 720p version...still not as clear as the original but I think a little better..... just not sure its worth the extra hour it took to upload

what do you think....worth the extra time?

Yeah, that's much better.
I'm watching on a 27 inch monitor. At that size, 480p just looks like a bunch of small colored squares swirling around.
If someone watched on a 5" phone, it would probably look OK.

The bigger the monitor, the more each pixel must be magnified to fill the screen, so you need more pixels to keep the quality up.
In my opinion, 720p still looks good up to about 50", but 1080p or up looks even better.
On a 60" TV, 720p would be hard to watch.

Like putting a size 9 sock on my size 13 foot. It might fit, but I'd just stretch it all outta shape!

I must watch them on the TV, can send it in 1080 from the laptop (of the camera files) 

I have been doing it on my 15" laptop and viewing on there too
