Source and limits
Video bitrates are from YouTube recommended upload encoding settings ↗. Values apply to SDR; HDR uses a different table. Estimate uses decimal Mbps, an audio bitrate, and a 20% upload overhead assumption. This is not an upload-speed guarantee.
For Shorts, YouTube supports vertical or square videos up to three minutes; file size and aspect ratio are separate checks. Official Shorts upload guide ↗
