i'm not sure if this is the right place for this, if it's not, please direct me to the right place.

I upload videos to YouTube on a daily basis, i record using Bandicam + a Sony HDR-CX405 camera, and edit using Premiere Pro.

These are my Bandicam settings:

(Full size being 1080P)

And i record my camera in 1080p50

After this, i go to Premiere Pro CC to edit, i add everything, and i use it to export:

after this step, i upload straight to YouTube.

Now, my question is. Is this the best way to do it? I want the best quality i can get. and as i said, it's going to be uploaded to YouTube.

i'm a bit of a noob still in all this, so forgive me. but should i use premiere pro to do all this. or should i use media encoder, or similar?

am i skipping a step, or is everything all right. are these the best settings i can get, or is there something that will make any noticeable difference?

in case needed, my PC specs:

AMD Ryzen 7 1800X

Nvidia GTX 1070 TI

16GB DDR4 RAM

SSD ( for everything )

Windows 10 Pro 64 bit

Or does anyone else here know, If you see a clear difference when using: Render at maximum quality or Maximum Depth ??

Max depth ... if you're using 10 bit files or more and doing significant color, and getting banding may help.

Max render quality ... is mainly for use without a GPU and doing significant resizing, say getting a bit of razor tooth on diagonals.

Other than those situations leave them off.

You are recording 60 frames on your screen capture and 50 on your camera. You are essentially combining PAL and NTSC. Either do 30/60 on both or 25/50 on both or you will cause yourself headaches later. Also, try to make sure your Bandicam is recording in CBR, not VBR.

Media Encoder and Premiere use the same render engine so use whichever your prefer.
