Producing online to YouTube at 60fps?
[Post New]
Hello everyone,


New to the forums so bare with me. Recently purchased PowerDirector 14 and I have watched several YouTube videos to try and find this answer and even on this site as well and no help for my question.

Here is what I want to achieve. I created a nice video edit, I want to now 'Produce' the video. Its late at night now, and I want to produce it 'online' to YouTube in particular. I picked the Profile Full HD Quality 1920x1080. Thinking with how YouTube will allow a full HD at 60fps, I figured this would be the best choice. I select the Shut down PC after this production is complete. Off to bed I go, wake up in the morning and notice the video is just not the quality that i wanted. I look at the produced video and its just shy of being 30fps.

I changed my "Set User Preferences" to 60fps among other things to get it to do a auto production in all future videos. I also went into Standard 2D H.264 AVC and dropped down to MP4 and set my custom profile to a nice 60fps as well. Once again I moved to Produce onlne YouTube, Why is my Profile not showing up there. Its as if the program just has default settings for Profile and the closest one would be Full HD Quality 1920x1080. YouTube allows 60fps and that is what I want it to be. How can I get this to produce at this 'online'. I can do this myself If I wait about 45 minutes, but remember I want to do this online, let it produce and let me carry on to work or go to sleep while all this is taking place.

Surely the newer PowerDirector 14 is not updated to match the 60fps that YouTube allows users online now does it?

Before you ask, yes I captured this footage in Full 60ps with my HDpro 60 Elgato Capture card and like I mentioned before, I can do all of this manually. I just want to take full advantage of my PD 14 that I bought.

Thanks in advance for any help. PowerDirector 14 user

This is how I do: I render the video in 1920X1080/50p H.264.
The produced file will then be in documents/Cyberlink/PD14 on my pc.
Then I go to my own YouTube site clicking the upload button and the produced file. Make sure you have the best settings for your YouTube site. If your broadband is fast enough it will look gorgeous in 60p. Corsair Vengeance C70, Asus Geforce GTX 1060

Hi BenzoEffect -

The way Anders has suggested will give a much cleaner result on YouTube. If you use PDR's YouTube uploader, it will be WMV. That's that.

The project preferences don't affect the end product at all when you use the uploader - Produce > Online > YouTube. The profile you select makes the difference. Unfortunately there's no 1920x1080 60fps profile available.

BUT - there is if you make/modify one. Attached is a profile I just made by modifying one of the existing YouTube profiles. The method I used is shown in this *video*

All you need to do is drop that .prx file into C:\Program Files\CyberLink\PowerDirector14\Language\Enu\Profiles and it will show up under Online > YouTube as "FULL HD 60fps 12Mbps..."

I've tested it - https://youtu.be/VjzVPiRLP5Q - & it does upload as 60fps... but it is WMV and it won't look nearly as good as H.264 "cry"

Cheers - Tony
