Youtube, for example, supports 4K footage, but 1080p is what you should aim for most of the time. In case we want to upload the video online, we should first find out the service’s maximum resolution.
Of course, if we are going to use the video on a device that supports its resolution, we should keep it as is. Thus, when we compress a video, and we want to reduce the file size, the first thing we can cut down is the extra pixels we won’t use and downscale our footage. Sure, it will be a lower resolution, but in most cases, we won't notice any quality loss.Īs for space though, higher resolutions result in much larger video size, which in the case we described above, this space goes to waste. Although, if our playback device (TVs, monitors, etc.) doesn’t support 4K, it will downsample the footage to the next highest supported resolution.ĭownsampling won’t have much of an impact on our viewing experience. In fact, most digital cameras, action cams, or even smartphones can shoot video at 4K. However, 4K is also becoming popular in recording devices. That’s the resolution most people aim for since it is mainstream in TVs or monitors. Nowadays, the most common resolution is the 1080p - known as Full HD on the market. In short, it is the number of horizontal pixels multiplied by the number of vertical pixels. The resolution of a video doesn’t need a lot of explanation. In our case, the video is at 1080p, or in other words, every frame has 1920x1080 pixels. To find the resolution of our video, we have to check the “Frame width” and “Frame height” in the Details tab. We don’t care for the Description we are only interested in the Video and Audio sections.
