It can take some time before Youtube process the video in a higher resolution.
I have sometime had to wait an hour before it shows on the site.
It also depends if you PC/TV will be able to play the video.
Oh I see, yeah me tv is a 65” Samsung UHD 4K curves so yes can play the resolution no problem. I’ll keep a check on me YouTube channel to see if it self increases the saved resolution then. I do hope so
Just checked again now (been 3 hours) since upload. The picture definatly upgraded now, I went onto the YouTube account menu page and when I selected to upload my video again I could choose 1080p as hightest setting however I’m thinking that because it was recorded in 2.7k and not 4k the option to upload in 4k is not available as it detects the footage is not 4k and the closest official label it can give it is 1080p and you don’t see much 2.7k labelling around
It does Alan
2.7k is great if you don’t want to use up a lot of memory
Do you have a pc/Mac to edit on?
You can upgrade to 4k and up to you tube with various programmes
Plus you can copy from your controller straight to your phone without taking your memory card out admittedly the way you are doing it will be quicker than using up your drone battery.
Well memory not really an issue for me I don’t think as I have a 64GB card in the Mavic and then me iPhone XS Max ya the 512GB hard drive build in.
I’ve not edited at all on a Mac or PC and I don’t intend to, to be fair as it’s all done via me phone on either direct download from memory card reader to me iPhone and then upload wirelessly to YouTube
I might doing a short test recording in 4k tomorrow and upload that to see how it looks on YouTube
Only reason I’m using 2.7k if I’m honest is because the 2.7k lets me use the zoom function while shooting if I require and that’s it really.
Another option and the most easiest is just use the create movie feature on DJI app however I’m sure this only creates it in 720p ?
It could be to do with the fact that you are uploading from your phone. Either the download from the drone sd to your phone could be downscaled or when you upload to YouTube because I think mobile uploads are limited to 1080p. Or it’s YouTube being YouTube as higher quality videos take longer for high quality options to be available. Hope this helps. Edit: maybe this will help. https://youtu.be/S4_x8mgmFEY
The footage i shot on MPP was in 2.7k, I downloaded it from the actual memory card via a card reader directly to me iPhone XS so the footage was still Raw 2.7k
I then however selected the file and chose edit where I skimmed about 4 secs from the begiiing and also end, This for some reason rendered it to 720p so when I uploaded it to YouTube it was done at 720p
I’ve since gone back into the file and selected revert to original - it immidiately did and the file size jumped from 565mb to 1.6GB for a 5 min clip (I’d say that was more 2.7 size wouldn’t you) ?
Just currently uploading to YouTube again and I will compare the quality on me TV
Incidentally seems You Tube recognises when a duplicate footage is uploaded and won’t successfully upload it (I had to delete the original as this new upload corrected wouldn’t complete)
Lazy option but if you download the footage from a 2.7k recording via your DJI app only straight to your phone (wirelessly) what is this resolution. Is it 720p or 1080p ???
I read somewhere I’m sure that downloading via your DJI app as in ‘create a movie’ only downloads it to your device in either 720p or 1080p (can’t remember which one it said) - anyone know ?
Guys YouTube is great etc for 4k however I ordered me a USB 3.0 memory card reader. (Plug your micro SD directly into the USB stick and then straight into your TV
Results: absolute stunning in what I would say is complete RAW 4k footage from Mavic Pro directly to screen. I don’t think I could get any more clearer with the naked eye
