Upload OBS FLV Video to YouTube/Vimeo for Sharing on Windows/Mac

Summary: Some users complain that “My attempts at uploading OBS FLV video to YouTube/Vimeo fail during processing.” It’s obvious that import OBS FLV video to YouTube/Vimeo may cause some issues.


Open Broadcaster Software is free and open source software for video recording and live streaming. Have you ever recorded some game footage with OBS? Generally OBS saves files as MP4 or FLV. It says that the files can be uploaded straight to YouTube or other video hosting site just fine. But why I encounter incompatible issues when importing OBS FLV video to YouTube/Vimeo or other situations like OBS videos to PremiereOBS FLV to AvidOBS FLV to DaVinci Resolve?

FLV usually comes from a video-sharing website like YouTube, Vimeo or from OBS (Open Broadcaster Software), etc. Though FLV is the same format with YouTube supported one, the codec of OBS FLV videos is totally different from YouTube best accepted one. Since YouTube is the most popular website where we can upload our favorite videos to it for sharing online with other people, any good solutions to transcode OBS FLV video to YouTube/Vimeo directly?

To upload OBS FLV video to YouTube/Vimeo flawlessly, you’ll need to convert OBS FLV to YouTube/Vimeo both compatible format. In this case, Pavtube Video Converter for Mac is the first and best choice for you. With the recent upgraded version 4.8.5.1, it can encode/decode H.265/HEVC videos so nicely. If you are running on Windows, you can refer to the equivalent version Pavtube Video Converter.

                                 

How to upload OBS FLV video to YouTube/Vimeo for sharing on Windows/Mac? (Take Mac version as an example.)

Step 1: When you download and install the Mac Video Converter, open the main interface and choose the “Add video” to load your OBS FLV videos in. For the multiple video clips we can hit the “Add from folder” button.



Step 2: Before choosing the format, you can check about the supported formats of YouTube and Vimeo first then decide which output format to choose. As we can see from those two sites, both the H.264 codec contained with MP4 can be supported by them both. So we go to the “Format” bar then choose “HD Video>>H.264 HD Video (*.mp4)” as the output format.



Step 3: Most of you guys must have the desire of a further editing with your output videos, right? On the main interface, “Edit” is waiting for you. “Trim” to decide where to start and where to end, “Crop” to cut some unwanted clips, “Subtitles” to add some explanations to your audience.

Step 4: Click the “Convert” button under the preview window and the Mac Video Converter starts converting. By the way, you can take a screenshot at your favorite frame.

Conclusion: After converting, you can click the “Open” button to find your converted files. Now, you can upload OBS FLV video to YouTube/Vimeo for sharing on Windows/Mac without any worries! What are you waiting for? Just go ahead and have a try! Enjoy it!

Edit H.265 Files in iMovie on Mac Yosemite/Mavericks


H.265 is a new video coding standard that specifies how to decode video. It’s basically the video equivalent of a JPEG file. The codec helps your computer understand how a stream of data can be displayed as a video file rather than gobs of randomly distributed colors.



“When is full support for H.265 going to be implemented into iMovie? I want to buy the Samsung NX500 4K camera that will be out this month. Only $799 with kit lense and most of the NX1 capabilities.”

“The H.265 codec and its lack of compatibility with the Apple ecosystem is one of the primary reasons I selected the Panasonic GH4 over the Samsung NX1 for 4k video. I've read that many people expect Apple to implement H.265 in its video applications sooner rather than later because H.265 is the codec used for Face time already; however, I did not want to deal with the trans coding hassles in the interim. Also, just because Apple embraces a codec for one medium does not mean that they will embrace it for another.”

iMovie is a Mac OS X or iOS based video editing software application created by Apple Inc. iMovie supports multiple video formats and allows you to create projects that are tailored to your specific video format. You can use the following formats in iMovie: DV, HDV, AVCHD, Apple Intermediate Codec, Apple Animation Codec, Motion JPEG/A, iFrame, H.264, some, but not all, varieties of MP4, MOV. As .mov or .mov is a container, if it contains video codec in one of the above, it will import to iMovie, or it will fail to import to iMovie.

What if you have video files which are incompatible with iMovie, such as importing H.265 files to iMovie for editing. Is it possible that to add those unsupported video files to iMovie for editing? Of course you can! As long as you depend on Pavtube Video Converter for Mac, which is an all-in-one Mac Video Converter. With the recent upgraded version 4.8.5.1, it can also decode and encode the H.265/HEVC videos so nicely.

                                      

How to convert H.265 files to iMovie best supported format for further editing?

Step 1: Click “Add video” icon to load your source H.265 files to the main interface. Or you can directly drag&drop H.265 files into program.



Step 2: When you come to the output list, just click “Format” bar to determine output format. Follow “iMovie and Final Cut Express” and select “Apple InterMediate Codec (AIC) (*.mov)” as the output format.



Additional Tips:
Click the “Effect” button to open the Video Edit window to achieve editing H.265 files like trim, crop, image, watermark, effect, subtitles and rotate and etc. in the corresponding editing pane.
Click the “Setting…” button to open the Advanced Settings window to adjust the output video codec, resolution, bitrates, frame rate, aspect ratio, audio codec, channel, volume and etc in the advanced tab.


Step 3: Go back to the main interface if you have finished all the preparation work. Here just hit the “Convert” button and we can easily get the work started.

Conclusion: After conversion, you can get the encoded file under “Open” panel. When you finished transferring H.265 files to iMovie, we can enjoy editing the videos so nicely. Good news! All users can enjoy 30% discount from May 4th to May 6th after the upgraded days! Come on!

Maybe you have recorded some footages by Sony FDR-X1000V and you are wondering how to import it recorded XAVC S files to FCP X for editing natively on Mac.

You may encounter importing problems, or can’t edit Sony FDR-X1000V in FCP X/7/6 smoothly, besides, it will take a long time to render.

At present XAVC S, a long GOP inter-frame codec, does not appear to be supported by Final Cut Pro. Apple does not respond on the issues and no one here knows or can say when, if ever, XAVC S will be natively supported by FCP (X). In this case, to smoothly edit FDR-X1000V 4K XAVC S files in FCP X, the easy workaround is to convert Sony X1000V XAVC S to ProRes MOV which is the best codec with best results when working with Final Cut Pro. For this purpose, considering the easy of use and lossless quality, Pavtube Video Converter for Mac is highly recommended.

H.265 Converter- Encode/Decode H.265 to MKV, MP4, AVI, MOV, WMV, FLV on Mac Yosemite

As the newest codec and with features of smaller size and higher quality, H.265/HEVC has become more and more popular in our video codec area. What brought to us was the related questions. What's the true meaning of H.265/HEVC? How could we convert, edit or play H.265/HEVC videos? Is there any best methods provided for us to handle the H.265 encode and decode workflow well?



Q1: What is H.265/HEVC?
High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) is the latest generation video compression standard developed by the ISO/IEC Moving Picture Experts Group and ITU-T Video Coding Experts Group, through their Joint Collaborative Team on Video Coding. HEVC is also known as ISO/IEC 23008-2 MPEG-H Part 2 and ITU-T H.265. HEVC provides superior video quality and up to twice the data compression as the previous standard (H.264/MPEG-4 AVC). HEVC can support 8K Ultra High Definition video, with a picture size up to 8192×4320 pixels.

Q2: What’s the difference between H.265 and the previous standard H.264?
H.264 has been a huge success. It’s a flexible codec standard that’s used by streaming services, satellite providers, and for Blu-ray discs. It’s scaled remarkably well since it was first proposed and is capable of handling 3D, 48-60 fps encodes, and even 4K. The Blu-ray disc standard doesn’t currently include provisions for some of these technologies, but the H.264 codec itself is capable of handling them.

However, while it can handle these types of encodes, it can’t do so while simultaneously keeping file sizes low. A new standard is necessary to push file/stream sizes back down while driving next-generation adoption, and that’s where H.265 comes in. It’s designed to utilize substantially less bandwidth thanks to advanced encoding techniques and a more sophisticated encode/decode model.

Q3: How to encode/decode H.265/HEVC to MKV, MP4, AVI, MOV, WMV, FLV on Mac Yosemite?
After testing countless freeware and commercial software, considering the ease of use and lossless quality, we would recommend Pavtube Video Converter for Mac to you which is an all-in-one H.265 Converter. As upgraded to the latest version 4.8.5.0, this Mac Video Converter can definitely support H.265 encoder/decoder very well.

Specific guide on how to encode/decode H.265 to MKV, MP4, AVI, MOV, WMV, FLV on Mac Yosemite:

Step 1: Run the upgraded Mac Video Converter, and click the “Add video” button to load your original H.265 recordings. If you want to load several files at one time, “Add from folder” button is available. Besides, you can also drag and drop the files to the main interface directly.

To convert H.265 to FLV, you can choose “Flash Video>>FLV H.264 (*.flv)”.



Step 3: Click “Settings” button to customize the output video and audio settings by yourself. But if you are not good at it, you’d better use the default parameters, they will ensure you a good balance between file size and image quality basically. You can change the resolution, bit rate, frame rate as you need.

Step 4: When everything is ready, you can take a preview by hitting “Play” button. If you are satisfied with the final result, you can click “Convert” button to finish the conversion work.
