Something to keep in mind - if do you commentary, this will mess it up.

You will have to watch this video, as you have to extract the audio, and change the tempo.

How to make Youtube gameplay clips playback in true 60 fps:

How to make a Youtube gameplay clip 60 fps:
- Record at 60 fps ingame with any recorder/Nvidia Shadowplay
- Rip/Convert the sound from it with VLC/dbPoweramp to an mp3
- Change Tempo (not pitch) of the mp3 in Audacity to -50%, export
- Repeat with any commentary/audio you plan to add to the video
- Import original 60fps video to your editor and mute its audio track
- Add the "changed tempo" audio and sync it up with the beginning
- Drag the video clip to be equal in length, this makes it true 30 fps
- Clipping the audio and video layers at the same time is important
- Check so that the audio does not sound like it's in a lower pitch.
- Export with your H.264 mp4 settings at 30 fps, won't lose frames.
- Upload your 30 fps slowed down clip to Youtube, play at 2x speed
- Go here if you still use the old Youtube player and can't change it

Doesn't work for me; using firefox, I set it to use the HTML5 player, but it's presumably not doing it, because I don't have the speed options on any of those videos. Halp.

 

[Taker666]

As mentioned earlier, the bandwidth of the internet. Not their servers, and perhaps not your internet connection at home. I'm talking about the entire internet. There is only so much data that a given network infrastructure can push. Youtube accounts for a huge portion of that. Some people point to the fact that Netflix accounts for a higher portion of bandwidth than Youtube, but keep in mind that Netflix is only in a handful of countries. Youtube streams all over the world, and it's responsible for a staggering amount of internet traffic.

You have to understand that on this scale, where literally billions of people are using your service, there is no such thing as a simple change. Yes, Youtube offers poorer streaming quality than many other services. It's a victim of its own success. It is precisely because of how widely used it that making a "simple change" like adding support for 60fps is not possible.

It's not that they can't do it or don't want to do it. It's that the internet can't handle it.

..but surely if the internet can handle 2k videos at 30fps..it can handle 720p videos at 60fps?

 

[Alo81]

No bueno?

It's just a hassle and in the end most people just don't end up setting the speeds right. It's one of those things that has potential to work but there's so many weird hoops that in the end doesn't really seem worth it.

Download the free HTML5 addon. The link it's in the description.

 

[OldAsUrSock]

Awesome, the feel of 60fps.

 

[methane47]

Why does this HTML5 work so well and Youtube vanilla is so garbage?

 

[boeso]

I said Goddamn!

 

[Diablohead]

I can get these videos to hit 60 but it's not perfect for me.

 

[DaBoss]

Amazing trick.

It's a real shame the big gaming sites don't allow for all their playthroughs to be recorded in 60fps...it's every bit as important as resolution. It really makes the visuals shine.

They're doing 60fps software a major disservice (the same goes for the publishers as well).

I believe Twitch allows 60fps.

 

[sca2511]

This is what I used to do in high school to get that 60fps look on the Counter-Strike videos I made. It being .avi/.mkv though.

Giantbomb does 60fps.

I guess the limitation is the bitrate. But then again - surely if you can have a 720p60 video at 10Mbps, then it's not a difference to have 2k30 at 10Mbps?

 

[Timeaisis]

Wow, Bayo 2 looks awesome at 60fps.

 

[narton]

This won't work if my capture card only supports 30 fps, right?

Edit: Nintendomination, eh? I guess he flips the bird to 30 fps like he does to EA.

 

[jediyoshi]

Giantbomb does 60fps.

So does IGN and I believe gametrailers.

Steam also does for product pages.

 

[DaBoss]

Hmm, so is 360p the only option with this add-on enabled? It doesn't give me any other res options.

Should be a dropdown

 

[DaBoss]

I'm using Firefox and a drop-down doesn't exist.

I have the opposite issue, the HTML 5 player didnt load very fast and everytime I switch between full screen and the windowed player, it would have to reload the video, but it would keep track of where I was at. I tried to un-install it and it wouldn't switch back to the old player on some videos :/. I don't know if this is just an issue with the Fire Fox version or not. Personally not a fan since I usually either load a video in a separate tab, and for some reason I like to switch between full screen and windowed a decent amount. I had originally downloaded the add on to view bayonetta 2 at 60fps.

 

[Orayn]

Do it my way:

I had to use VDub to blend the frames after forcing interlacing and downsizing the vids from 1080 to 720, but it works as a work around. Download the vids as the browser might not play them at perfect speed if it's being bogged down.

I rather like this method. Partially because it works on all versions of YouTube, and because it introduces new visual information as a sort of motion blur effect.

 

[sykoex]

I see it at the top of the page to the right of the search bar.

 

[thesuperfunk]

This is brilliant ... DKC & Mario Kart both look stunning!

 

[also]

I see it at the top of the page to the right of the search bar.

I only see options to resize the player. The video is still 360p even after going into settings and changing it to 720.

 

[Deleted member 59090]

Meh I can't get it to work in Opera in either the new one or the good one.

 

[EdReedFan20]

Nah Flash can do 60fps fine. See Twitch and Eurogamer.

Huh. I just assumed they used some other streaming format. That's a bit of a headscratcher on YouTube's part.

 

[bbd23]

What video editor do you guys recommend?

 

[Sendou]

No. 30FPS is more cinematic. When you are watching games (not playing them) it is preferred.

 

[cobragt4001]

And this is why I game on PC baby. 60fps is amazing and I can't wait to try 120hz one day.

 

[RaikuHebi]

It probably has to be due to the limitations of Flash. The question should be why can't Flash be updated to allow 60fps? Maybe YT should abandon Flash (eventually).

The sooner Flash is abandoned for all video streaming, the better.

 

[Broritos]

I guess I'll start making some F-Zero GX vids.

I swore I would never make any because I didnt' want to display that beautiful game at 30fps.

 

[DaBoss]

I only see options to resize the player. The video is still 360p even after going to settings and changing it to 720.

Yea, same thing is happening for me as well.

 

[Fried Food]

Nice. The fast audio kinda throughs me off.

 

[rjc571]

Tilmen just uploaded a nice long 60 fps video of Metroid Prime 3. Enjoy!

 

[The Dear Leader]

Yo, anybody got some non Nintendo game videos?

 

[CrimsonCrescendo]

Bayonetta and DKC... so awesome.

 

[Pakoe]

Que the "I don't see the difference between 30 and 60 fps" comments.

 

[rjc571]

Dudebro games more up your alley? Well, here's some Titanfall!

 

[guybrushfreeman]

If you just want to check it out without changing to the HTML5 player on your main account (although it's easy to change back anyway) just open www.youtube.com/html5 in an incognito window, change the setting and then watch the videos in incognito as well. I hadn't seen that Mario Kart 60fps one before. Looks great.

 

[Not75Drops]

I'm not sure if this would work but could people potentially upload videos at half speed so that they play at normal speed at 60fps?

Weird, the movement and audio still sounds like it's going faster but like I said, I don't really know the technical things behind this.
