The Phantom 3 from DJI comes with a camera and gimbal (stabilizer) built-in by default. The “Vision” branding has been replaced by “Professional” and “Advanced” to identify which camera you’ll be getting: 4K(30fps)/12-megapixel and 1080p(up to 60fps)/12-megapixel respectively. If you recorded some 4K videos by DJI Phantom 3, you may like upload that raw 4K footage to YouTube. Such an excellent experience!
However, the trouble is that it is difficult for you to put DJI Phantom 3 4K videos to YouTube directly. As we all know, YouTube only supports FLV, MP4, 3GP and WebM container formats with up to 15 minutes in length.

Learn Other Requirements of Uploading Video to YouTube
File size: Only a 2GB video file can be uploaded from YouTube webpage, but 20GB is allowed when an up-to-date browser is used.
Deinterlacing: Although Videos either in progressive scanning or interlaced scanning mode can be uploaded, YouTube suggests turning interlaced videos to deinterlaced before uploading for the best video quality. Therefore, progressive scanning is needed for video uploading.
Frame rate: Keeping original video frame rate is preferred. And 25-30 fps is recommended.
Resolution: 4:3 (640 x 480) or 16:9 (1280 x 720). When the video is uploaded to the site, YouTube will make it 16:9 or add vertical black bars (for 4:3). So, please remember not to add horizontal black bars before uploading a video.
Bitrate: Bitrate is different from screen resolution and is highly related to video codec. Actually, it is less important than other factors to consider before YouTube uploading. YouTube experimented with Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (MPEG-DASH), which is an adaptive bit-rate HTTP-based streaming solution optimizing the bitrate and quality for the available network.
5. Press the big “Convert” button to start encoding DJI Phantom 3 4K video to YouTube. After the conversion, you can sign into YouTube and upload the converted 4K files onto YouTube sharing with more people. 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.
