YouTube Export and Share Upload - 4K 60fps - Is this supported?

Report · Aug 28, 2024

Hi everyone - first post 🙂

I record full length baseball games on my GoPro in 4K 60fps and upload them to Youtube. I have been doing this manually using Premiere Elements 2024 by using Export and Share --> Devices --> 4k Ultra HD. I then wait an hour or two and then manually upload the resultant MP4 to YouTube. I have a high speed internet connection, so the uploads only take <20 minutes typically.

Using Export & Share --> Social Media --> YouTube would be helpful to eliminate that manual step but it appears that the quality settings are capped at 1080p HD (1920x1080). Is there a way to edit the default settings for the YouTube upload so I can avoid doing both steps (compile video and YouTube upload) separately?

Thanks, all!

I don't know of a way to change the settings for a direct-to-YouTube output.

Can you can certainly create a custom setting for outputting an MP4 to your computer and manually upload that to YouTube.

Though do make sure your Project Settings are also set for 60 fps. Otherwise you'll be outputting a 60 fps video from a 30 fps project, which kind of defeats the purpose.
