The Real Cost of Large Files
Uploading a 10GB file to YouTube doesn't just take longer—it often triggers YouTube's processing systems to take hours before your video is available in HD or 4K.
By compressing that 10GB master file down to a 1GB H.264 file, you:
- Upload 10x faster (saving your internet bandwidth)
- Process faster (get the 4K badge sooner)
- Look the same (YouTube re-encodes it anyway)
ProRes vs H.264
Editing (ProRes)
Great for editing because it's uncompressed. Huge file size. Bad for uploading.
Uploading (H.264)
Great for delivery. Small file size. High visual fidelity. This is what you should upload.
