Help with blender output meeting youtube recommended specs

Support Compositing and Post Processing

I use blender to add music, a slight blur effect, fade out etc to my fractal zoom videos -

(here if you want to see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwREBd3Tbzo&t=215s)

I work with 1080p 60fps, and have a horrendous time with youtube re-encoding the videos. Granted a fractal video is going to push things to the limit…

So my question is, how exactly can I use the blender export settings to meet these requirements:

I’m a little confused by the H.264 settings in particular… Audio I understand… No matter what I do, youtube re-encodes anyway, and maybe there is no way around that, but what would the correct settings be to at least meet the highest quality for 4K 60fps for example? Or 1080 60fps?

Thanks!

Thanks! I had given up on a response because my question was probably vague… I’ll give these a read and go from there!
