This is how YouTube is messing up your colours 

Maybe exporting in 4k even if it's just full hd, migth work... :\ wanna test?

I have a similar problem and would love to see if that solves anything. I shoot everything in 1080p anyway so it’s even more relevant.

@@JooWorks I'm exporting in 4k, I heard there are 2 codecs RU-vid uses. People recommend uploading DNxHR instead of h264. Maybe that truck works.

@@CineDecodificado yes, YT uses h264 (up to 1080) and VP9 (for every resolution). You can use youtube-dl tool (just google for it) to download and compare 1080 stream quality for both codecs. You might be surprised, but the newer codec VP9 has the worst quality just because it's bitrate is 2 times lower than h.264's. This is why banding is so visible now on yt... It wasn't such an issue back then, when VP9 wasn't a default codec for 1080. Sort of solution that might work sometimes: film grain, noise or some sort of dithering. It can help to reduce banding in 4k, but usually things in 1080 are going to be worse: macro blocks are everywhere. I really wish youtube team tune up codecs much better, but they are busy with making robots for tech support.

@@diman4010 RU-vid makes a copy of your video as it transcodes to those codecs - so the one you upload has little to do with the process - it just has to be a codec that it can read to transcode. It is usually a good idea to throw more bits than they ask for too. They will compress at their maximum but they won't increase the bit-rate if you are lower than their maximum - so why leave bits on the table. The 4k thing is that they allow a higher bit-rate to it - so the idea is that if you upload a 4k and people watch it in 1080HD it will look better than it would if you just uploaded it to 1080p - but if your footage is not really 4k and you are doing this to fool the system - you rub the risk of someone watching an upscaled video in 4k that really should be 1080p

I'm definitely interested in some of the sources/links, just to learn more about the entire thing. I feel like colorspace and gamma in particular have very little reliable info that I can find! Thanks in advance :)

@@sunsetchasers581 -I will send the info - where do you want it?

What does "place a CST on the timeline mean"? really trying to understand you help. And I really would like you to clarify what part is missinfomation? This would be great if you would be here to help or is this like your other messages? I will test your idea out. It would be nice to find out that the color management bug in different browsers is not a bug, but a feature. :)

@@JooWorks CST is Color Space Transformation. You can pull it from the effects list in the color panel of Resolve into your grading node structure. I don't know how you find it in Premiere, tho.

@@artistcommunications1930 I have not found similar in premier. In after effects there is something, but limited. Thanks.

I have the same issue but with shorts and uploading from pc, did you find a way to fix it?

@@justloliehh update RU-vid studio

yes pls!

It's a bit unclear if it's worst or is it the one who is doing it correctly to show the clear sRGB.

This video is old and actually bit missleading. I have a new workshop that teaches ACES based color grading workflow. Inside that course I have a video about color shifts. You can see it here: drive.google.com/file/d/1Mt-hERtncBdReSqiZyn5Z8X45I4B1ESD/view?usp=sharing If you are interested of the workshop this is part of: www.joo.works/aces-lite-workshop-start Tell me if these help, or maybe your issue is about something else. :D

@@JooWorks well I figured it out finally hope this helps you too. We always render out in rec 709 gamma 2.2 right. Well turns out a mistake from my end actually gave me a solution. Try rendering in gamma 2.4 instead of 2.2 RU-vid will love it 🥰 no color shifts 😅 I was amazed by the results. In past some videos I was rendering in 2.4 without even noticing it and then I started doing in 2.2 and major color shifts and darkness occurred. Now everything is fine on my end. Thanks for reply though much appreciated 👌🏻for RU-vid render in rec 709 gamma 2.4 color space ✌️

Yeah I’m having this same issue right now 😔

Same issue.

Well technically the actual video colors look as they look in the browser. It's just your uncolormanaged editing software that make them look too saturated, because the file's colorspace and your displays default colorspace don't match. So a better workflow is to color manage your editor or get your self a rec709/sRGB -display.

​@@JooWorks Thank you for the reply I really appreciate it. I think I kinda get what you mean but I don't think the actual video is supposed to look like that? So my situation here is I recorded some gameplay using OBS. After rendering it in Pr, I'm pretty confident the result looks very very close to the actual gameplay. However when I uploaded it to youtube I could clearly see the difference between my rendered video and the one playing in the browser. It's so much more colorful when I play the rendered video in VLC. I've seen some solutions online that suggest to over-saturate the video so when youtube plays it in the browser it will look somewhat closer to the original. Basically 1+1-1=1 Maybe I fundamentally misunderstood how colors work which is very likely the case since I'm new to video editing, but is it possible to figure out how less-saturated the footage is in the broswer, then apply a layer of over-saturation with the same ratio in Pr to eventually achieve a fairly color-accurate end result when viewed in broswer?

@@Clarity520 Aa. Well now I get it, your game is actually DCI-P3 colorspace. When you upload it to youtube vs "normal" the video file has rec709 metadata on it and then the browser shows the file as rec709 aka. Muting down the colors. (by the way you should not see this happening on firefox.) I'm not sure if it's possible to give you video file dci-p3 metadata and would chrome even care about it. I did some testing some time ago and I think dci-p3 metadata does not change the color management on chrome. (can't be sure though, it was some time ago). If you convert your footage from rec709 to dci-p3 you should in theory end up having just the rigth amount of extra saturation to conpensate for the conversion that happens in the browser. You can create a lut like that on lutcal website or send me a message here: joo.works/contact-me and I can send you one.

@@JooWorks Ohh I understand the problem now. Thank you so much!

Subscribtion? The https links stoped working. Remove the s at the end of https and try again.

try 27px...

@@JooWorks lol that IS what you said originally (not sure where I got 26, I need sleep). But that still didn't work.

@@JooWorks I have the same problem, tried in 27 px X 27px, but still this issue...

I got it, this issue is because the program Lut converter have 2 instalation option for Mac, the option called (beta) is working perfectly with this method.

@@jmstelluti THANK YOU I will try this next chance I get!

Fake. Oval ring in front of the lens and some horisontal blus on the ligths.

You can create a LUT to monitor the footage in different browsers the same way even when it's only about luminance.

@JDW I’m curious… how are you getting your video to RU-vid from FCPX? Sharing directly to RU-vid from FCP, sending to Compressor and using a default RU-vid export, or using a custom export out of Compressor, or exporting a ProRes from FCP and encoding that somewhere, or ? Please let me know… I’m trying to get to the bottom of this issue. Feel free to DM me on twitter (same name) if you don’t want to clutter up Joo’s comment feed.

@PhotoJoseph I don’t think Joo will mind if I reply to you here. I upload directly to RU-vid from within FCPX. My GH5 footage is 10-bit 4K HLG, placed on a Rec.709 timeline in FCPX with Color Space Override set to Rec.2020. And as I said before, the luminance level I see in FCPX matches very closely what I see in Safari when I later view my uploaded video on RU-vid; however, viewing the same RU-vid video in Firefox and Chrome is a bit darker overall.

JDW Interesting that you’re using the default export and seeing the shift. In my tests, exporting to RU-vid from FCP directly is fine. However I’m also not using HLG, so that’s another interesting clue. God I’d love to figure this out.

Feel free to clutter up this space. :-D I have very little understanding about fcpx.

Devices like iPhones 7->-> Wide Color (Apples name for the DCI-P3). Example Instagram uses Wide Color. Im not 100% sure about RU-vid native app vs new iPhones (Youre question).
