Today we UPLOAD a (HD/4K) VIDEO to KZfaq, and show how I personally upload my HD / 4K videos on KZfaq in 2021 to keep the highest quality! Then I also show you my uploading hacks, to make sure that you can Upload your Videos as Fast as Possible!
LOADING A VIDEO TO KZfaq is intimidating, you want your KZfaq UPLOAD to look HD 4K, as high quality of a KZfaq video as possible because of the effort you put into making it. Uploading your video to youtube should be the easy part of the process, but there are a lot of small aspects to pay attention to, that could make or break your video and most other videos on HOW TO UPLOAD A KZfaq VIDEO don’t give it justice.
SO, let me give you all of my personal tips and tricks that I use when I upload and stick to the end if you want to know how to upload your videos faster.

-------------------- WAYS TO UPLOAD / POST YOUR VIDEO --------------------
PRIVATE -
Nobody can see the video unless logged into YOUR Gmail
UNLISTED -
Anyone with the link can watch the video.
PUBLIC -
Anyone who finds the video can watch the video.
SCHEDULE -
Upload, and have KZfaq Automatically POST your video at a selected time, on a selected date.
PREMIERE -
Scheduling a time for your video to go “Live”. An interactive way to upload your video while chatting with your subscribers AND viewership.
-------------- REMEMBER --------------
KZfaq takes time to process your uploaded video.
Even though it says complete, it will actually be PROCESSING it.
So, if you were to PUBLISH as soon as you upload - it could be in 360p, 720p OR HD.
A lot of creators make this mistake, they think that the video uploaded wrong, but it’s actually just processing!

IMPORTANT REMINDERS: 1. 4K may take DAYS to fully process 2. Make sure that your EXPORT SETTINGS fit KZfaq Recommended Settings, if you need assistance with this, please feel free to watch my EXPORTing video :) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aa2Ap6iAvbWuqWQ.html

BULLSHIT. I've uploaded 4K videos for about two years now, and never had to wait more than 48 hours for the 4k option to show up- the last video I uploaded used all the SAME hardware and settings to encode the video, two very similar videos=both were 9 and 1/2 minutes in length and same file size uploaded. KZfaq has done something that messed with the 4K play option in the player. NONE of my computers or devices had the 4K option with the latest video I uploaded, even after 3 days! and the editor mode showed the SD, HD, and 4K processing had all completed!

@otszzz79 2 жыл бұрын

@@SonicBodhi1 yeah well, depends on the internet speed, and duration of the footage. And you must admit that your exampke of uploading for 48 hours for a 10min video is not really category fast too, right

A golden tip is to schedule your video for the next day. That way you give your video plenty of time to finish processing all the different qualities. Also if anyone has a video that is stuck on only SD then you may need to reupload it. I've just had this issue today and had to reupload it because it was bugged and YT didn't recognise it was a 4k video. So now I reupload it properly processed the video to true 4K

@Kieoryy Жыл бұрын

Thanks how do u schedule the vid for next day? Is that the premiere option?

@VerticDesigns Жыл бұрын

@@Kieoryy instead of clicking "Publish Now" or "Public" you click on visibility and click on "Schedule". Set the date to tomorrow and the time you wish to upload to but another great tip for this is to look into your analytics and see when most of your viewers are online and upload at that time. So for example when I upload a 4K video I would Schedule it to tomorrow 27th December at 14:00 and wait until the next day for it to automatically publish your video to public

@roderickgful Жыл бұрын

I just keep it private until it fully loads in 4k/HD. Once I see it’s finished (larger vids can take really long) I switch to public.

@VerticDesigns Жыл бұрын

@@roderickgful yeh I get you and personally I won't do it just in case it ruins the 24 hour window because that's the most important 24 hours so I'm not sure if KZfaq would still promote it the same as public or scheduled since its private

Does anyone know if there is a way to make the video that you post on youtube always play in the highest quality on the "Viewers" screen? Like this one we just watched above for example. It looked amazing and i didn't have to click "Settings" and adjust on my end. For example, if I uploaded a video in 1080P on youtube and it played for viewers as close to that as it could. Thanks readers!
