How long does it take for YouTube to finish editing the videos? What I mean is the Video Enhancement feature by YouTube I really like it since it fixes up my lighting really well and brings out more color. My video is 16 MB and 3 minutes long. Server load? Or my video size? Mine usually takes a half an hour or so.

So that's odd lol. Maybe YouTube is just running a bit slow. Reactions: Root Beer. Lin said:. DannySisk Member.

Now I have another one that has been stuck for about 4 hours. I submitted a post about it today and some folks here indicated that it can sometimes take days, or that it's a glitch, but I think something else could be going on as I have many vids over the last 6 months, and the edits never took longer than a few hours.

Why does video processing on YouTube take so long? Because YouTube has to compress files, store the files, create multiple versions of the files, and then prepare the files so they can be consumed by viewers in their best quality. In general, for every minute of video uploaded, it can take between 30 seconds and 1 minute to complete processing for HD videos. This means that a minute video can take between 5 minutes and 10 minutes to process completely. The time it takes to process depends largely on how long the video is, the resolution your video has been exported in and the video quality i.

For your 4K video, this time can take quite a bit longer as the video is 4 times the size. YouTube says that a 4K video with a frame rate of 30 fps that is 60 minutes long can take up to 4 hours to finish high-resolution processing.

When it comes to longer videos, it can seem like it takes exponentially longer, but that could just be a matter of your internet being slightly faster than the processing speed.

The same processing time applies to longer videos. Generally speaking, 20 minutes of HD video can take around minutes to process, while 20 minutes of 4K video can take anywhere from.

A common occurrence when you upload a video to YouTube and then immediately watch it is to find a much blurrier and lower quality version of the video you actually uploaded. Before you go and delete the video, this is normal and happens very often. Another common problem could be that you have a poor internet connection, or had a poor internet connection at the time of watching the video. YouTube tries to cater to people all around the world, from viewers with high-speed internet to viewers who access the app on their phone with a 3G connection.

To make sure videos play smoothly for all users, YouTube automatically selects the video resolution that best matches your internet speed. If you have a slow connection, this means you will most likely be put onto a p or p resolution version of the video. If you select a higher resolution in the settings, you may suffer from video buffering as your internet cannot download the video data fast enough for it to play smoothly.

Whenever you upload a video to YouTube, schedule your video at least an hour in advance. This should allow enough time for the high-quality version of your video to process entirely and for early viewers to get the full quality of the video and stop some complaints about poor video quality. If you have a popular channel, this is something you can experience where people will watch your video within the first couple of minutes after uploading.
