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.

2. Select Fast720p30 from the "Presets" on the right.
