Gusto mo ng super linaw na YouTube Shorts na hindi nagba-blur, hindi laggy, at hindi nawa-wash out pag na-upload? Good news: 90% ng quality issues galing lang sa maling settings.
Sa post na ’to, ibibigay ko yung pinaka-solid na Shorts settings (resolution, FPS, aspect ratio) + export tips para crisp + smooth + algorithm-friendly.
After nito, alam mo na:
-
Ano ang tamang size ng Shorts (no black bars!)
-
Anong FPS ang best depende sa content mo
-
Extra settings (bitrate, codec) para iwas compression sabog
Noong una akong nagpo-post ng Shorts, akala ko “okay na yan” basta vertical. Sobrang confident pa ako kasi ang linaw sa phone gallery—pero pag upload ko sa YouTube, boom… parang may fog, tapos yung text ko napuputol pa sa baba.
Ang ginawa ko noon? Nag-try ako ng kung anu-anong hacks: sharpen dito, contrast doon, even 4K export. Pero mas lalo lang lumala kasi ang ending, si YouTube din ang magco-compress. Doon ko na-realize: hindi lang footage ang laban—settings ang tunay na boss fight.
So nag-reset ako. Sinunod ko yung pinaka-basic:
-
Canvas 9:16
-
Export 1080×1920
-
FPS match (kasi mostly talking head ako, so 30fps)
-
Bitrate tinaasan ko from “Auto/Low” to 10 Mbps
Grabe yung difference. Yung details sa buhok, skin texture, at background—hindi na nagiging watercolor. Tapos yung captions ko, nilayo ko sa bottom area (kasi may UI buttons pala doon). After a few uploads, napansin ko na mas maraming nagco-comment ng “ang linaw” at “ang sarap panoorin”—at pinaka-solid: mas tumagal ang watch time.
Since then, kahit mag-shoot ako ng 4K minsan, i-export ko pa rin as 1080×1920 para consistent. Ang mindset ko: “Shorts is mobile-first. Make it clean, light, and correctly framed.” Kaya ngayon, bago ko i-upload, matic checklist ko na yang tatlo—resolution, FPS, aspect ratio—kasi once tama yan, yung content mo na ang bahalang pumatay.
Ideal YouTube Shorts specs (quick answer)
Ito na yung “best overall” settings:
-
Aspect Ratio: 9:16 (vertical)
-
Resolution: 1080 × 1920 (Full HD vertical)
-
FPS: 30 fps (default safe) or 60 fps (kung fast motion / gaming / dance)
-
Format: MP4
-
Codec: H.264 (safe + compatible)
-
Audio: AAC, 48 kHz (or 44.1 kHz), 320 kbps max
Best resolution for Shorts
✅ Recommended: 1080 × 1920
Ito ang sweet spot kasi:
-
Sharp enough sa phones
-
Mas stable sa upload processing
-
Hindi sobrang bigat ang file size
Optional (kung kaya ng phone/cam mo)
-
1440 × 2560 (2K vertical) – mas detailed, pero mas malaking file at mas prone sa upload compression minsan.
-
2160 × 3840 (4K vertical) – overkill sa karamihan ng Shorts, unless premium production ka.
Pro tip: Kahit 4K footage mo, okay lang i-export as 1080×1920 para mas consistent ang quality after YouTube compression.
Best aspect ratio (no black bars)
✅ Best: 9:16
Ito ang native Shorts format. Kapag mali aspect ratio mo, lalabas yung:
-
black bars (letterbox/pillarbox)
-
zoom/crop na pangit
-
text na napuputol
Quick guide:
-
YouTube Shorts: 9:16
-
TikTok/Reels: 9:16 din (bonus!)
Safe area tip: Ilayo ang text sa edges (top/bottom) kasi may overlays like title, captions, buttons.
Best FPS for Shorts (30 vs 60)
✅ 30 FPS (Best for most creators)
Perfect for:
-
talking head / vlog / tutorials
-
cinematic b-roll na simple
-
screen recordings na basic
✅ 60 FPS (Best for motion-heavy content)
Perfect for:
-
gaming
-
sports/dance
-
fast transitions / action scenes
-
product shots na mabilis ang movement
Rule of thumb:
Kung smoothness ang goal mo → 60 fps.
Kung file size + stability ang goal mo → 30 fps.
Important: Dapat match ang FPS ng footage at export. Halimbawa, kung 30fps ang raw video mo, wag pilitin i-export 60fps (minsan nagmumukhang weird or jittery).
Recommended export settings (bitrate, codec, format)
Ito yung madalas nakakalimutan pero sobrang laki ng impact.
✅ Best export preset (safe + high quality)
-
Container/Format: MP4
-
Video codec: H.264
-
Profile: High
-
Keyframe interval: 2 seconds (optional pero good)
-
Bitrate (target):
-
1080p 30fps: 8–12 Mbps
-
1080p 60fps: 12–20 Mbps
-
-
Color: Rec.709 (kung may option)
Bakit bitrate important?
Kasi pag sobrang baba, blocky at blurred. Pag sobrang taas, big file—pero ia-compress pa rin ni YouTube.
If may option for H.265 (HEVC)
-
H.265 = smaller file, good quality
-
Pero may devices/editors na minsan nagkakaproblem.
Kung gusto mo 100% compatible, stick sa H.264.
Audio settings (para malinaw boses)
Shorts can go viral dahil sa sound clarity. Ito ang safe:
-
Codec: AAC
-
Sample rate: 48 kHz (or 44.1 kHz)
-
Bitrate: 128–320 kbps (128 ok na, 192–256 sweet spot)
Tip: Kung voice content ka, mas important ang clean mic + noise reduction kaysa sobrang taas na audio bitrate.
Step-by-step: Tamang setup bago mag-export (Beginner-friendly)
-
Set project/canvas to 9:16
-
Set resolution to 1080×1920
-
Match FPS sa footage (30 or 60)
-
Check safe zones (text/captions hindi dikit sa edges)
-
Export:
-
MP4
-
H.264
-
8–12 Mbps (30fps) / 12–20 Mbps (60fps)
-
-
Upload via YouTube app or Studio, then verify na Shorts siya (vertical + under 60s)
Common mistakes & troubleshooting
-
Maling aspect ratio (16:9) → may black bars / maliit ang video
✅ Fix: set to 9:16 canvas bago mag-edit. -
720p export → malabo after upload
✅ Fix: export 1080×1920. -
Sobrang baba ng bitrate → pixelated/blocky
✅ Fix: raise to 8–12 Mbps (30fps). -
60fps export pero 30fps footage → jitter/ghosting
✅ Fix: match export FPS sa original. -
Text cut-off (lalo na captions)
✅ Fix: move text inward, iwas sa top/bottom UI overlays. -
Over-sharpen sa edit app → nagiging “crispy” pero ugly after compression
✅ Fix: light sharpening lang, huwag sagad.
FAQ
1) Pwede ba 4K sa YouTube Shorts?
Yes, pwede. Pero practical best pa rin ang 1080×1920 para stable upload at less compression issues.
2) 30fps or 60fps, alin ang mas viral?
Walang direct “viral FPS,” pero 60fps looks smoother sa motion content. For talking videos, 30fps is fine.
3) Ano pinaka-best aspect ratio para walang crop?
9:16. Yan ang native Shorts.
4) Anong format ang best: MOV or MP4?
MP4 (H.264) pinaka-compatible. MOV ok din, pero MP4 ang safest.
5) Why malabo pag na-upload kahit clear sa gallery?
YouTube compression + low bitrate export. Taasan bitrate at i-export 1080×1920.
6) Best audio settings para sa voice-over?
AAC, 48 kHz, 192–256 kbps + clean mic.
7) Pwede bang 1:1 or 4:5?
Pwede, pero hindi optimal for Shorts feed. Mas okay 9:16.
Conclusion + CTA
Kung gusto mo ng crisp at smooth na Shorts, tandaan mo lang ang holy trinity:
✅ 9:16 + ✅ 1080×1920 + ✅ 30/60fps (match sa footage)
