Step 3: Adjust the video, audio settings

After several attempts, we get know Youtube's maximum 4K bitrate is 45Mbps and it doesn't work with 60fps 4k video well. You can set the video frame rate like 24fps. If you don't want to spend long time uploading a 4K video to YouTube, you can downsize your 4K to 1080p if you need.

Step 4: Edit/Split your 4K movie

Click Edit button and you can trim, crop or adjust the video with the built-in video editor to get the very part and effect of the movie you want.

Tip: If the video clips you've trimmed are still longer than 15 minutes, you can choose to split the 4K movie into smaller parts so as to share on YouTube without limit. Click the Split icon in the main interface, and you can cut your files according to time length and file size.

Step 5: Start the conversion

Finally, click Convert to start the 4K to YouTube conversion. When the conversion ends, you can tap the Open button to locate the converted files and then upload the DJI Phantom 3/4 4K video to YouTube simply.

Editor's Note: Keep in mind that YouTube doesn't process all resolutions at the same speed. So generally the lower resolutions, 144p, 240p, 480p show up first followed by higher resolutions and then sometimes a day later 2K and 4K resolutions. So make sure you are giving it enough time as well.
