As of right now, Youtube doesn't support video with 50 or 60 progressive fps yet (This should IMO have priority over 4K support, I'd take high fps support over that if I had to choose). Therefore the framerate is converted down. While converting down from 60p to 30p isn't much of a problem (simply use every second frame of the source video), going from 50p to 30p is more complicated and leads to ugly results with shaky video. So I think that Youtube should better convert it to 25p because it's annoying to pre-convert from 50p to 25p before uploading which is unfortunately the only way to get non-shaky video at the moment.
EDIT: It does actually look better right now than an earlier test video which I had uploaded earlier (some months ago) but it'd still be better if YT at least gave us an option upon upload if we want to choose 25p or 30p.

  • Yes, it's a shame YouTube doesn't give advanced users the options needed to make their videos look the best they can. Considering most people don't know or don't care about these finer details I guess YouTube haven't worried about it. Being as fussy about picture quality as you are I know exactly what you mean. Clearly digital video technology still has a long way to go.
