Sam DeathWalker 5.4 28 Box SOLO of Galleon

I read this and I didn't believe it, so I actually bothered to watch a few seconds of the video. Sure enough, Sam Deathwalker records his videos at < 10 FPS because stop motion video is making a come back. Sam, you are knockin' down the achievements and 'world firsts' in this thread left and right.

Keep on keepin' on, Sammy. You never cease to amaze.

I'm speechless.

They are 1920 X 1200, which I bring down to 1920 X 1080. At 15fps each 9 minutes would be over 3.2G (and a 30fps file would be over 6G!), given that the file is 1.08G (after compression) now. Is it reasonable to expect people to download a 3G video for wow? Dosnt bother me to record at higher fps; I am thinking about the watcher.

Youtube videos are all the same size regardless of how you encode them on your computer. You could record 4k 32 bit RED EPIC RAW footage and record 1TB for every minute of footage, fortunately, YouTube still converts that to their resolutions, and compresses them highly to fit into their bandwidth requirements.

YouTube is fixing your video for you, so you don't have to record at 1986 frame rates, Sam. Go ahead, record at 30 FPS, or go all Hobbit at 48 FPS if it suits you. YouTube and Vimeo will still fix it for you and play at 30 FPS on their player for you.

Compression is not magic. I use HandBreak with H.264 and an mp4 container. If, after you compress, you wish to reduce the file size you have to reduce resolution, which I don't wish to do, or framerate which seems to me to lose very little. If youtube recompresses an already compressed H.264 file then its not going to look so hots. Still it matters not to me, if you want to take 3X the time and disk space to load the video so you can watch at 15fps instead of 5fps that's fine, Ill upload at 15fps from now on.

No, I think you missed my point. What goes to YouTube from your computer doesnt matter. They have limits on how large and how long in time your movie can be, but you can upload the same video with H264 and one uncompressed, which would result in vastly different filesizes, but as long as the files are within the size requirements YouTube allows you to upload (you cant hit these with a 10 minute video without really trying) it will compress the video for you again, and it wont matter to the end user. The quality might change slightly because of recompression, but the point is, what you record at is not a problem. Record lossless if you like at 30 FPS and it will take YOU a lot longer to upload, but wont affect our download or viewing speeds.

Let me see if I can set up something for voice over as I think you are right.

Some players will simply add captions afterwards, explaining what is going on. Might be faster and more convenient than a voice-over.

This is correct, YouTube handles the video, and regardless of the framerate, container settings etc of the uploaded video, to the viewer the result will be the same: it's now a YouTube video.

Generally speaking, always upload the best possible quality that you want to bother with as an uploader, as the better the source material, the more options your viewer will have when playing the YouTube video. That's why some videos won't allow you to select HD resolutions, if they were originally uploaded in a lower resolution.

Somehow the youtube logic from above reminded me of this chat log:

docsigma2000: jesus christ man
docsigma2000: my son is sooooooo dead
