Taking videos..

[A.O.]

Rookie here with a MA2.. NOT a camera guy!

So I took a little video of my place today for fun and practice. I went to load it onto u tube so I could post it and 5 hours later it was at 11%!!! I'm thinking the settings I used n the camera were way wrong. way too high resolution or something I'm guessing, it was only a 4 minute video
For your basic little videos to post here or send to friends or whatever.... what settings should I use??
Or am I doing something else wrong?

What resolution, how big was the file, and how fast is your internet upload speed?

Not real fast internet out here in the middle of nowhere, last time I downloaded one (about 2 1/2 minutes) it only took a few minutes.
Resolution and file size I've no clue... don't even know where to look.

Edit to add.. 3.50 GB is the size

Often with internet service, particularly cable, upload speed is much less than download.

You can't remember if you recorded in 1080p, 2.7K or 4K?
If you did forget, Properties or Info from a player about the video will give you all the specs. But really I needed the file size.

If your internet upload speed is very slow, then indeed 3GB could take hours. A choked download link can also limit upload, since every few packets sent have to be acknowledged. If the acknowledgement can't be received because of something else using up all the download bandwidth, the packet has to be resent.

I recorded at whatever the drone was set at when I got it new, I've not changed anything. I'm guessing here that the 4k would be a larger file size of those three? And if I record in 1080p will I get "ok" videos? Right now that is all I'm looking for is "ok" videos, I'll up my quality as I get better with this little guy.

I always fly 1080p as I find that adequate for my needs, don't have anything to display greater than 2.5K and it takes up enough storage space as it is. Try different resolutions yourself and compare.

I just did some calculations. If only 10% of the 3.5GB file transfered in the 5 hours, then 350MB was transferred. Without reliability problems, that means your effective transfer rate was around 185Kbps. That's pretty slow with broadband but might be the case with poor DSL.
It could be that your native upload speed is faster but has issues where the packets frequently get lost and need to be resent.

Oh, I definitely have slow service out here which is why I want to alter the way I record, Thanks. Do you have to change it to 1080 every time or will it stay after you change it?

By FAR the best You Tube video of rendering your sequences in Premiere Pro is this one. Who Is Matt Johnson series on sequence settings for each resolution.

I use this one for 4K, 24 fps.

You need to learn about how to set up your sequences in editing according to the resolution you were filming at such as 4K, 12080 P, etc. You Tube has tons of these.

It will stay untill you change it.

Totally irrelevant or at least overkill for what he asked.
