My newest video is online. I think this one is pretty good, even with me almost crashing. As always, I would love feedback on things I can do better, and things you liked!

Fantastic use of the 360 camera mate.
Have you tried the render trick yet? With 1080, you generally only get the AVC codec when uploading to YouTube which is massively inferior to the VP9 codec you'd get if you uploaded it as 2.7k/4k, even if you record at 1080, try rendering it out to 4k and then see how it looks on YouTube, should give you full bitrate with no compression

Good tip. I'll have to try that. I have a couple videos in queue already, not sure I want to re render and upload them. But the next one I edit I will try that.

Oh, now we're just posting the tricks?

Just kidding - help Dewey out

Anyway, I'll watch this one after work today and give you my thoughts on it.

It was @R-Rated that put me on to it!

Heck ya, I need all the help I can get. Haha

And it was a Canadian motovlogger that was on here a while back the came up with the hypothesis! SuperballSupervid I think.

Those were in the days of GoPro Hero 3s and 4s when video stabilization meant keeping your mule from nipping your whiskey and getting drunk.

I did a test on my latest upload, and yes it does make a difference, now I'll have to upload all the new stuff in 2.7k (well, or close to, as I use a slightly abnormal aspect ratio). It took forever to process the HD version, something like 30 hours from the time I hit upload until it was actually available. Now I have to decide if I want to re-upload the video's that are already in queue or not.

Do it! Render one each night when you go to bed, and upload the next morning!

Problem solved! I noticed a significant increase in picture quality when I did this.

The advantage of scheduling videos, means I can upload a day (or two) before it goes live so it hits at full resolution.
