Why is my video demo quality so poor when I upload to YouTube?

[Erifor]

I am having issues with the video quality of my published demos degrading signifcantly, especially when I upload them to YouTube.  Any help or tips would be appreciated.  Thanks is advance for any help.  Here are the details:

I am running the 2017 Release (10.0.0.192)

I have tried the video demo on full screen and also application (application region).  The video looks good when I publish it as an mp4 (I've tried the YouTube HD as well as custom settings to match my window screen size), but then when I upload it to YouTube the video is extremely fuzzy and I can't even play it as an HD format eventhough, I published HD quality.

What am I missing?

Can you please update your version to 10.0.1.285?

What is the width/height ratio you choose for the video (resolution)?

[Erifor]

I have tried several different resolutions, but all in pretty similar ranges:

1280 x 593

1250 x 654

1279 x 591

[Lilybiri]

None of those are recommended for YouTube. These are the resolutiions for YouTube:

All are in the common 16:9 format, none of those you mention are. That may explain the blurriness.

This was very helpful!  Thank you.

Please note that the HD versions on YouTube are not always immediately visible, as YT does a lot of optimization on uploaded video's...
