Wandering in the rain in a swampy Green Heart of Holland. Remastered 4K copy of yesterdays film (20241001). Yesterday’s video display is bad on all platforms I tried : Vimeo, YouTube, and SubStack. To limit display bandwidth I uploaded 720p files to Vimeo and Substack, and an HD (1080p) file to YouTube. To maximize quality all these files were uploaded with minimal compression, as Apple ProRes (422). However , I guess, these platforms do not optimize their conversion methods with more moving details in a 720(-1080p) video. The 720p file uploaded to Vimeo was 1530 MB, and the Vimeo conversion yielded a 720p display file of 38.5 MB : so, 2 to 3 % of the original file (posted 20241001 at 1-memo•com). The YouTube upload was a 2966 MB ProRes file, and the available display file 33 MB , so ca 1 %. The upload to Substack was the same ProRes as uploaded to Vimeo.

I have today uploaded to all platforms the same 1324 MB file (h264 , bit rate 93 Mb/s). At Substack this file will be replacing the video in yesterday’s post (20241001) later today. At YouTube and Vimeo (via 1-memo•com) , these are new posts (20241002). A 4K file yields larger conversion files … whether this improves display quality .. let’s find out. The original in camera video is ca 3K (Insta360 GO3S Freeframe video 2720×1530 50p). Note that the original film quality is showing in the posted ‘stills’ from that video file (at 1-memo•com).

Vimeo conversion today (20241002) yielded display files of 37 MB (720p) 71 MB (1080p) and 166 MB (1440p), and 300 MB at 2160p. This is looking clearly better at 1080p , and at a big screen nice from 1440p. YouTube conversion today (20241002) also yields excellent results with the higher resolution files (no further info available via YT on the file sizes of the display videos). Results for SubStack will show later today… at https://1memo.substack.com/p/rain-ramble-1memo-20241001

Short film that I made June 8, 2016 as ‘Selfie For The Sea’ for World Oceans Day. My encounter with Sara the southern Sea lion diving in the open Caribbean Sea along the coast of Curaçao (Netherlands) was filmed by Gordy Cox in 2004.

Though , I generally do not produce / upload videos aiming for views only — still 1.000.000 views feels good. First upload starting Channel 012 – a vlog – was December 2007. The first five to six years of Channel 012 I generally only uploaded once in a while what I considered to be ‘popular’ work .. events — and, what I considered ‘serious’ or not-popular was uploaded on Vimeo only, and once in a while also uploaded on a second YouTube channel — called iClip, and reserved fir such work — or kept unlisted for years at Channel 012. Only some 7 years ago I decided to present all via YouTube Channel 012. I archived iClip some years ago.
In addition – not included in this count here – another around 200.000 YouTube views were counted for work in collaboration on other channels. Like 135K currently for the documentary film Transport XX to Auschwitz at @RBloomProductions . Channel012 is known for years now as Michel van der Burg – @michelvanderburg Video : Look A Million ! | 20230722 | @michelvanderburg | 1-memo•com | TakeNode a796b1b5-dd7c-454c-85ac-116979f5439c
