after exporting, video quality is poor unless i zoom in

[markiii3211555]

i realise my question might be a bit awkward, but i'm a total noob at this so any help is appreciated!

im making a video for my friend and have a bunch of his ingame replays; all mp4 files, all 1920x1080.

but when i export it, even at 1080p highest quality, the picture is consistently pixelated and jagged, unless the video hits a section where i've zoomed in.

at that point, the quality improves dramatically and the pixelation is completely gone 90% of the time.

how do i fix this? are my computer's specifications a factor?

thanks!

Which software are you using to record your screen?

Open one of your screen recordings in the free download MediaInfo. In MediaInfo, set View to Text and then copy the report it generates and paste it to this forum.

Once we know what's going on in your source video we may better be able to diagnose your problems.

Also, what operating system are you using and which version of the program?

If you look under the Edit menu, what is listed on the General page under Project Settings?

All of these things are factors.
