If you're using the latest Firefox nightly build I believe it's 60 FPS with the HTML5 player. I'm trying to get a framecounter to pick up a youtube video.

edit: I'm wrong, still 30 for us firefox plebs.

 

[PotionBleue]

I'm seeing true 60 fps with IE 11. No skipped frames there.

IE 11 always seems to default to Flash player on my computer even though I went to the html5 page. Are you using an add-on for this?

 

[Alcoholikaust]

awesome. best browser became bester.

 

[IcyBlueStrawberry]

60 fps video never works properly on my PC for some odd reason.

Downloaded or streamed, it's always jittery and terrible.

 

[VariantX]

Giant Bomb have seemingly started using 60fps videos for their Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sIprxs_de8

This, is the definition of eye porn. 60 fps just makes games with good animations pop and come alive even more to me.

 

[DrkSage]

Can't see it and I've tried everything except desktop chrome. I've tried my htc chrome, safari, even the ps4 like I read here and nothing.


Edit: worked on the iOS YouTube app, still stuttered a bit but works.

 

[LilJoka]

Looks 60fps good!

 

[Belmire]

So...are there still people out there who can't tell the difference between 30 and 60 fps? Muhahaha

MPC-HC + SVP + ReClock is the definition of perfection. 60 fps for every 60p, 50p, 30p, 25p or 24p videos.

Keep watching for the Xbone footage (about 30 minutes in).

Ok it works..

 

[Josh7289]

Oh damn, it looks great. Finally!

Got this uploaded to my channel, seems to be running fine...

It begins... ;D

I'm tethering from my phone so that may be the difference.

 

[Easy_D]

I get some framedrops every few seconds, then it goes back to being smooth, on a 4670K. Bleh.

Weird. It was a smooth constant 60 on my smartphone. Embedded even.

Edit: hooray, finally I can quit watching quick looks on Giant Bombs terrible video player.

 

[nullset2]

THE FUTURE IS NOW!

HOLY SHIET!

 

[Insane Metal]

Too bad YT is slow as fuck lately.

 

[Hero Prinny]

wow you can defintetly tell thats 60fps, a lot smoother than the other mario kart 8 vids on youtube

 

[Ont]

Killer Instinct videos will look much better with this.

 

[UnrealEck]

My newly uploaded videos are still 30 FPS.

 

[computers putin']

I really wanna buy a pvr and start uploading again now, something about seeing my vids in 60fps excites me.

 

[therapist]

awesome.

 

[Cse]

I think it's time for youtube to make "pro accounts" for uploaders. Pay a monthly fee and your videos won't get compressed to absolute hell. It would be great for publishers as releasing youtube videos only really destroys how their games actually look.

This.

60 FPS is great, but the quality of videos on Youtube is absolutely terrible. Which, when you think about it, makes no sense. Sure, terabytes of video are uploaded by the hour, but Google and Youtube have virtually unlimited finances, unlimited resources, and some of the best software engineers in the world. There is zero reason why the videos have to be so compressed to the point that even 1080p videos look horrible.

 

[Deepo]

Just in time for some juicy Assassin's Creed: Unity launch trailers!

Spoiler

Someone probably made that joke already

 

[fugimax]

Glad you guys are enjoying.

We actually have been accepting videos at 60fps for a while, just not playing them back at 60 until today.

And yes, this is available to anyone, its not a partner feature. 60fps for all!

 

[Sakujou]

But 30fps 720p is more cinematic
-Ubisoft 

nice one. my macbook seems to load an eternity but it works. looks almost unreal because iam not playing it lel.

 

[CrackaF3tt]

I'll capture some shadow of mordor at 60 and test it. I'm also partnered.

My most-anticipated update for YouTube. Thanks a bunch!

 

[Qassim]

Just uploaded a test and it played back at 60fps eventually! Rather happy about this, I may actually start uploading gameplay videos to YouTube now.

Will you be re-encoding the videos that were uploaded at 60fps before today?

 

[Kiru]

It doesn't look like it works on embed video, I'm using ytma!, but on Youtube it works! Finally.

It does, if you deactivate Flash in YTMA and view it in 720p or 1080p embed.
I think 60fps only works in HTML5.

I uploaded a bunch of videos recently that were 60fps 720p Apple ProRes files. They are currently still 30fps. Is there any chance they will switch over or should I reupload them as mp4s?

THANKS!!!!

 

[grandwizard]

Excellent! Hopefully this spreads more awareness of how much better 60fps is.

 

[Zing]

Chrome only FTL, but I'm glad it's on its way. Looks great.

By "Chrome only" do they mean "Adobe flash" or "webm"?

wow you can defintetly tell thats 60fps, a lot smoother than the other mario kart 8 vids on youtube

A shame the game itself is only 59fps. I wish Nintendo would fix that one frame of judder.

 

[Kayant]

Youtube Center was blocking this for me. Once I disabled it, 60 FPS worked fine.

I'll miss YC's option that forces HD content by default but 60 FPS is more important!

You can try this - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/magic-actions-for-youtube/abjcfabbhafbcdfjoecdgepllmpfceif

It has a few of the features from youtube center and allows 60fps

 

[TouchMyBox]

Gonna be real interesting to see if this has an effect on the way games are developed.

 

[Doogdogg]

Day and night difference seeing MK8 video in 60 vs the traditional 30 youtube been known for.

 

[Endless]

It's working fine on embed videos at my end http://www.allgamesbeta.com/2014/10/youtube-supporting-60fps-uploads.html

 

[Poodle Cannon]

I wonder if you can stream at 60fps on youtube now. Hmmm..?

 

[Beesuit]

I'm assuming this will only apply to new vids uploaded from now on. So it won't retroactively change the current vids on there now. If anyone can correct anything, please do.

Wait, are the MK8 highlights generated from the Wii U playing in 60 or people's captured recordings?

 

[Seiru]

This is huge. Maybe more gamers will start to appreciate 60fps when all their Youtubers upload videos of it.

And as a side note, people still use Firefox?

 

[Azure J]

Oh man, I just saw the video in the OP (don't hurt me), this is gorgeous.

 

[Xyber]

Alright, recorded a video quickly. Them sweet 60FPS sure looks good.

I had flash enabled on ytma!, now it works! Thank you Kiru.

 

[Tu101uk]

I wonder if there will be limits to file sizes, encoding, etc. with the 60fps implementation on YouTube. We all know 60fps streaming is gonna be hefty on their side and Gamersyde have their limits.

I just don't wanna go crazy with the bitrate settings, only to find out I can't upload the video.

Wait, are the MK8 highlights generated from the Wii U playing in 60 or people's captured recordings?

I'm not entirely sure, the one I posted on my channel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cg5v-RjS7FE) was from my own recording, using Avermedia's ExtremeCap U3.

 

[fugimax]

Will you be re-encoding the videos that were uploaded at 60fps before today?

As you maybe can imagine imagine, re-encoding all the videos on YT that are 60fps is a pretty massive undertaking. I'm not certain about this, but I believe we are re-encoding a subset based on view count..

Any new hd videos uploaded from now on that are 60 will playback at 60, however.

 

[BY2K]

60 fps for HD settings.

Don't have any 60fps videos on my HDD atm to test, but can anyone do this or is it just certain channels atm?

Dat close call on the first turn.

 

[VE3TRO]

How about playback on iOS and Android?

YouTube app already does it on iOS, when the first videos were shown earlier this year in 60 FPS they worked but you need to hit the Quality button to choose HD 720p for it to work.

Any recommendation on bit-rate to use for the 60 at 1080p?
