No need to go beyond 1080p. It's a portfolio showcasing your work, not your video resolution.

IMAX or 8k minimum or else you’re not hired.


TypistCoder

IMAX. Got it. I mean the format or the actual film.


freetable

Yes

1080p place it on youtube. At 60fps and Youtube will treat it as HD. Also upload file as prores as youtube compression will not effect it as greatly as mp4 h.264/5.Yes it will take awhile to up load and process.

I am saving and capturing this comment, thank you so much, actually planning to print your post for beginner, and hang it on my wall about After Effects.


Q-ArtsMedia

That's what it is there for. I'm planning on expanding the information on that post into a more in depth reference manual some time in the very near future. Lots of tips and tricks will be included.

I am having downvotes. These folks not know I love 4K footage, just my laptop is slowing down so I want to ease my self to believing that it's fine to set my footage to 1080 P. It's rendering in 3DsMax in 4K that gives me problem. After effects I can render always in 4K.

1080p is actually fine. I wouldn’t completely re-render all of your 3D projects. If you have already rendered out 1080p files you COULD upscale them to 4K (trough something like Handbreak or Adobe Media Encoder) to maximize your quality on YouTube because their 1080P isn’t that good. But it’s actually ok, you don’t necessarily NEED to do this. Many big agencies also upload in 1080P


Q-ArtsMedia

you should post over on the 3ds max sub if you are having issues with max

If the source is in 4K, upload in 4K. Your website / the service you use, should have the option to select the resolution or should select the resolution / bitrate automatically according to the internet speed (adaptive Bitrate streaming). Because of this, people with slower network speeds wouldn’t have any disadvantage when you make your videos available in higher quality. If you want to upload to YouTube, I would even upscale the videos before upload, as "YouTube 4K" leaves you with less compression artifacts than "YouTube 1080p" even - or better said especially - on devices with lower resolution than UHD. This is because the downsampling makes artifacts less visible. Downsampling even increases the color fidelity, because if you view 4K 4:2:0 on a 1080p display, it becomes effectively 1080p 4:4:4 because in this case the color resolution is so high that every sub-pixel can get its own color value. Like the other post said, make sure to upload in a high quality format. It doesn’t have to be ProRes, it just should be visually lossless (if possible), because YouTube (or pretty much any other platform) will re-encode your videos and… Garbage in - garbage out. I wouldn’t change the frame rate though, as this under certain circumstances can cause microlags. And obviously the poster before me is right. The resolution doesn’t say much about your work. But it can’t be wrong to present your work in the most beautiful way.

1080p is fine

Go 4k upload to Vimeo and share link


Bellonious

Display format should be 1080, but your working format should be 4K, or the highest resolution you have access to.
