What is the Best Format for Facebook Video Upload

I have uploaded and played back Full HD videos at 1920 x 1080 pixels without any issues.

However, Facebook recommends uploading HD videos at 1280 x 720 pixels.

These are FB’s recommended custom settings:

H.264 video with AAC audio in MOV or MP4 format
An aspect ratio no larger than 1280px wide and divisible by 16px
A frame rate at, or below, 30fps
Stereo audio with a sample rate of 44,100hz
Videos must be less than 20 minutes long. The longer your video is, the larger its file size will be. This may affect the quality of the video.

So take note if you want your FB viewers to watch your videos in high quality.

PS:

FaceBook video Experiment:

I uploaded a one and a half minute video twice. One version is 1920 x 1080 pixels and the other is 1280 x 720 pixels.

Result: Both have the same result. Played in low resolution mode automatically. Have to click the HD button in the viewer to play in high quality.

Macbook Air M1 Case

I bought a transparent case for my MacBook Air M1 . It came with a free screen protector, a keyboard cover, and some rubber plugs to cover the ports. Check it out! https://youtu.be/d-wALSd3nn8 I didn't expect the rubber plugs. It was a nice surprise. The case fits snuggly, with access to all the ports. The keyboard cover is almost invisible to the eye. I have no intention to use the screen protector. Why? I need to see the true color of the display for my YouTube videos. ~ Adrian Lee @Adrian Video Image The video was recorded on iPhone 12 Pro Max with Filmic Pro app in 4K 60fps and edited with Capcut.

Sony Vegas Pro 8 Tutorial - Multicamera Editing

Sony Vegas Pro 8 makes it easier to edit videos from different cameras right from the timeline. You can capture and edit video for a single scene from 2 or more cameras or for a single scene shot a few times with one camera. Here is a tutorial of a Multicamera Edit of a drama I shot. The drama was acted out four times to the public and being a non-profit organization, the client have budget only for one videographer. For each of the 4 acts, the camcorder (Sony HDR-FX7 High Definition Camcorder) was placed at 4 different positions and shot in various angles. Multicamera edit is accomplished in only 8 steps with the Sony Vegas Pro 8. Step #1: Capture Multicamera Video Clips Use the normal Sony Vegas Video Capture function to capture recordings from each camera. Give each capture filename a unique name. Enable scene detection before capturing so that each segment is captured as a separate clip. Step #2 : Layout Video Clips on Timeline Drag and drop video clips over each other on the...

FCPX - The storage device "Macintosh HD" is almost full

The message "The storage device Macintosh HD is almost full" appeared when I was editing a video with Final Cut Pro X on my new Apple Macbook Air M1. Final Cut Pro Taking up Too Much Space My Macbook Air M1 had only 256GB of storage onboard. My raw footage was only about 9GB. The biggest file was the FCPX project files itself at about 140GB! How did 9GB become 140GB? There is not enough disk space for my Final Cut Pro. Why Is Final Cut Pro Taking up So Much Storage Final Cut Pro renders files in high-quality media so that we can playback our edits smoothly direct from the timeline. It creates multiple HUGE high-quality files of our footage in the background. It is a good thing, so as to maintain high-quality final edited video, BUT not a good thing for a laptop with only 256GB. How to Clear Disk Space on Final Cut Pro The question is how to delete the rendered files in FCPX? 1. Select the library in FCPX... 2. Go to Files > Delete Generated L...
