Let's suppose to render a project to upload it on YouTube. To start
rendering, just go to File, and then to Render As...
Most of the templates closest to the best YouTube settings are all
connected inside the MAGIX AVC/AAC MP4 category, which realize HD or 4K
videos with the Advanced Audio Coding (AAC), which is surely one of the
best to realize audio. Then, you can choose your own template on the right
depending on the Frame Size and the Frame Rate.
The Frame Size sets the video resolution. You obtain HD videos on YouTube
by choosing HD 1080p templates, and 4K videos by choosing the 4K 2160p
templates instead. In particular, 4K templates allow you to get the 4K icon
on the YouTube search.
Consider that these templates act on the size of the rendered video, and
not on its quality. If your source media is blurry or not in HD, an HD or
4K template will make it a bigger size, but won't recover its quality at
all! Use HD and 4K templates with media that's good enough for these.
Next to the Frame Size, you have to choose the Frame Rate, or fps, which
is the number of frames per second on the video. Videos usually have
between 25 and 30 fps, but you can render even in 60fps to have excellent
resolution on slow motions, or when using a lower playback rate on YouTube.
60fps videos are also shown on a YouTube as a 60 after the size of the video.
In case you want to further check the setup of these templates, just select
one, and go to Customize Template..., and check all the properties
regarding Video, Audio and more. You can also save your own template by
typing a name on top, and using the Save button.

Pay attention when using old media. In the past, the standard aspect ratio
was 4:3, and not the 16:9 such as HD or 4K. When you import or render this
media, black bars may appear in order to cover the new aspect ratio. You
can solve this problem in two possible ways.
You can crop the old clip by using Event Pan/Crop, cutting part of the clip
to match the HD aspect ratio.
The second possibility is to stretch the clip size to fill the black bars.
In this case, just click on More, and then to Track Motion, dragging the
rectangle you see until the black bars disappear. Just remember that the
Track Motion affects the whole track, so you may place all the 16:9 media
on other tracks in order not to distort them.
