Best Final Cut Pro Export Settings for Long Videos for YouTube (in 91 seconds)

Here are the best Final Cut Pro export settings for long videos on YouTube. As you can see, I have a 10-hour video that I want to export. What do I do? I have two options. First, I'm going to go into settings and select format and go down to computer. Why computer? Well, for option one, if I go over to Google, there is a place, and I'll link this in the description, where it shows the recommended upload and coding settings for your videos on YouTube. And this says container MP4. Well, if I go over and select computer, I also have an MP4 container. Great. What about the video codec? It says H.264. Now, if I go here, I have two options for H.264. I'm going to select the better setting. Now, what about resolution? Well, on Google under video resolution and aspect ratio, it says 16x9 is the recommended way. So, as long as you have it in landscape, you can select the highest format that you would like. I'm going to choose 1080. Now, we can go over to next and save it. But here's a problem. What if the file size is way too large? Here is what you can do also, and it worked for me. I can go from format video and audio, switch the video codec to H.264. 264 which is still recommended on Google. Right now here was my experience. Even though it only changed by 4 GB, I tried to export as thempp4 container multiple times and it took multiple days and it kept failing because it was blowing up the file to be like 150 160 gigs for it to be able to condense into the 91 gigs. So when I switched to it actually didn't take up that much space on my hard drive and it still was effective on YouTube. Let me show you. This is theov that I uploaded onto YouTube. As you can see, it still got 1,200 impressions. It's still released in the normal algorithm.
