 Hello everyone, this is Amit Don of AmitDon.com. Today I'll have another episode of GoPro Tips and Tricks video and today I'll talk about the single setting you need to change to have a better quality video even when you're recording 1080p on your GoPro. If this is your first time, I'll be at visit. Thank you for your support on this channel. I'm always trying different ideas. If you're into thinking outside the box, this is the channel to subscribe. If you're looking for more GoPro tips and tricks videos, there will be links in the description box below. We all know that 4k gives better video quality than 1080, but this may not be an option for everyone due to larger file size and the difficulty editing the files on your computer. But the one setting you can change on your GoPro to have better quality even when you're recording 1080p. And that's what I'll show you today. So before I do that, let me just talk a little bit about bitrate. Whenever you're recording a video or even audio, there's the comes into play which is the bitrate. So a bitrate is actually is simply the amount of data or bits. For every second, you're recording a video or audio. I'm not going into too much detail into this, but basically the bitrate maintains the quality of your video. If you're recording at higher bitrate, then your video is going to be much better quality, even if you're recording at 1080p. And if you have a lower quality bitrate or low bitrate, even if you're recording 4k, it's going to give you lower quality video. The drawback of a higher bitrate is that this is going to give you larger file size, but it's going to give you a lot more better quality because the video is absorbing a lot more information when you're recording. So that's the basics of this. Now, this feature is available from GoPro 8 and above. So if you have a GoPro 7, for example, which I have it right here, that you don't have this feature. So starting GoPro 10, you can change the bitrate. And that's what I'll show you today. So let's just take a look here. So for example, here, this is the 4k settings. And if you just go to the settings and your protein has to be on. So if you just go underneath, then you're going to see that there's the bitrate right here, which is standard. And if I click on it, then you're going to see that you have the option to have standard and high. So always choose high to have better quality video. Now, if I go back and let's say if I go to 1080, so what I'll do, I'll just change this to 1080. And so what's going to happen that here, you change it to 1080 at 24 frames per second. And then again, it's going to give you the option of a bitrate which is high or standard. So if you choose high, then it's going to capture a lot more information. And it's going to give you a very good quality video, or almost very close to 4k video. So let's say there are times when you don't have, you know, you cannot do 4k video, but you still would like to have a better quality in 1080 than the wise thing to do would be just to change your bitrate, which is going to give you a lot more information for your video. And you're going to have a very nice video quality, and it's going to look like almost like 4k. So it's going to be very hard to even understand when you're watching it on YouTube, that you know whether this is 4k or 1080. So I just have a little sample here. And I'm going to attach it to this video. So basically what I did, I recorded for 15 seconds clip clips, and then one is 1080, one is 4k. And when I chose the higher bitrate, then the 15 seconds clip came to 48.6 megabyte file size, and then the low bitrate came to 26.1. And for 4k, the high bitrate gave 169 megabyte, and the low bitrate gave 180.4 megabyte. So you can see that, you know, the quality or size or the file sizes, there's a big difference. 169 versus 80. And then here when you're doing 1080, 48 versus 26. But definitely the 1080 at high bitrate is going to give you a lot more better video quality. So if you don't like changing GoPro settings, and this is the only setting you could change to give you the results right away. And you can easily access this going to the settings and then under protein. Now I'm going to add these clips now, and you can take a look at it. But if you're just watching on a cell phone or let's say on a small monitor computer, then you may not be even like, you know, see any significant differences between 4k and 1080. But if you're watching it big screen, then you should be able to see that, you know, that 1080 high bitrate has a very good quality video almost close to 4k. And even it's going to be very hard to see any differences that, you know, this is not 4k. So in the past, I have done lots of videos, 1080 at higher bitrate. But when I rendered them, then I, you know, exported them as 4k. And then when I put them on YouTube, then it just looks like, you know, real 4k, although I recorded at 1080 at higher bitrate. So this is the only tape you can, you need to follow if you don't like any other, like, you know, if you don't want to change anything else on your GoPro. So just changing this is going to give you the results right away. And that's what I wanted to show you today. So thank you for watching this video. And there will be more videos coming up. So I'll see you shortly. Thank you.
