 Should you record all your YouTube videos at 4k, 2k, or 1k 1080p? Look at the beard, look at the guitar strings, and look at the grass at the different resolutions. YouTube has a filter. If you search for New World MMO, my video does not come up. But if I add a 4k filter, look, my video is the third result. As gamers get 4k monitors, what's the first thing they're going to do? Search for 4k videos on YouTube. If you make 4k videos, you will more likely appear in search results so you get more views as people upgrade to 4k monitors. I think that's an excellent reason to invest now in making 4k videos, so you will get into the top search results. I recorded this at 4k and set the YouTube player to the different resolution so you can see how it looks when you're zoomed in. Here is the full scene from which I created these screenshots to show you the difference. You can see the video by clicking that eye right there. That will take you to this full 4k video about New World so you can see it for yourself. Simply toggle this to the different resolutions so you can see it on your monitor. Now you have to have a 4k monitor to really see the 4k quality. So if you don't, it'll look the same as a 2k if your monitor is only 2k. I will share some pro tips about 4k videos while playing some gorgeous 4k footage that I recorded in the background. Tip 1, when you upload your first 4k video, do not upload it as public. Upload it as unlisted because it can take a long time for YouTube to render the 4k. If you spent all that time and effort to create a 4k video, spend a little more time and wait for your audience to be able to enjoy it at 4k. Don't make it public right away because it'll start at 360p, then it'll get 1080p, then it'll get 2k and eventually 4k will become available. A 10 minute 4k video can take 5 hours before the 4k resolution becomes available so be patient. Tip 2, do not upload your 1080p or 1k videos as 4k by upscaling because there is no benefit to the user. And if you're doing that to try to cheat the system to get into the 4k search results, your audience, when they discover it, will really be pissed off and blacklist you and more likely not watch your videos because they won't trust you anymore. YouTube is about trust, be honest, if you're uploading a 4k video make sure it really is 4k native resolution. For that you need a 1080ti graphics card to get high frame rate and a 4k monitor which is a very expensive investment especially if you go for the 144hz 4k monitors which make gaming a lot better and you can also get a cheaper 60hz 4k monitor. But don't go for anything less than a 3080ti GTX or RTX because your frame rate, it's very hard to get a high frame rate at 4k unless you have that graphics card. Make sure that your video editor also supports 4k output. My version of Adobe Premiere did not and I had to go look for a new one before I could make my 4k videos. Not all video editors support 4k. I am using DaVinci Resolve 17, a free video editor with full 4k support. Here you can see I'm outputting at 60 frames per second 3840x2160 Ultra HD and that's natively supported with DaVinci Resolve 17. No plugins, no extra extensions. Then pick a game that looks great in 4k. New World behind me is one of those games. Not all games fully utilize 4k. So find one that does so that you can really impress your audience and make your investment worthwhile. Do some experiments. Look at the gameplay at 2k, 1k and 4k and if you do see a noticeable difference, definitely your audience will appreciate it.
