Steem School EP 30 - How to Render a Video for DTube and Dramatically Decrease the Video Size
Did you know that you can reduce the video file size by over 50%? It is absolutely possible with Handbrake!
I will also show you the format which is required to upload a DTube video (at least in my format).
Rendering a Video for DTube
I use Filmora by Wondershare to edit my DTube videos which I record with an XSplit premium license (which you can get for 1 year for $2 on Kinguin).
When I render my videos I select the MP4 format. I use the resolution 1280x720 because that is the resolution my videos are originally recorded in.
I use the encoder H.264, 29.97 FPS, and a bitrate of 5000 kbps. I change nothing of the audio settings and finally render the video.
Reducing the Video Size
To reduce the video by over 50% you have to download and instal a software called "Handbrake" (Download).
After installing it you right click on your file and open it with Handbrake.
1. Click on browse and select the location where you want to save the file and give it a name.
2. Select Fast720p30 from the "Presets" on the right.
3. Select Width 1280 & Height 720
4. Now click on "Start Encode" and you are done.
Conclusion
Render the video in the formats given, use handbrake and your video will not only work on DTube but they will also be optimized to be uploaded faster.

Going to bookmark this for when I need to use a video-editor. Currently, the output formats of OBS are sufficiently small for my needs.

Xsplit Premium license for $2 really is a snack when you consider that it usually costs $100 and that it is a really good recording program with constant updates.
Just curious, where can i grab a xsplit premium license for 2$ or is the deal done now
