Question

Bad quality export to youtube

My problem is that I use the Youtube 1080 HD preset but for some reason it looks terrible at youtube. I have tried a lot of things but have now idea why it looks bad (it looks bad when you see it at 360 in youtube) but when I see other people videos at this resolution they look good.

Any resolution to this?  I am experiencing the same thing.  I used the preset to export, youtube doesn't seems to have any settings for upload?.. my video looks horrible in all playback resolutions ;o/

YouTube is a right ... pain. They do a double-encode process, and if your vid gets the full double-encode, it looks fine.

 

However, for some reason, some vids only get the first encode step, which is ugly. They used to have a "retouch" or "edit" option, I've not worked with that in some time. But if you invoked that option so you were in a screen where you could change the look of your video, then just 'saved' without changing anything, YouTube would do the other part of the encode.

 

May still be a workaround ...

Including a screen-grab in your reply of your sequence settings and the Export dialog box with the settings you used would be very helpful.

And a screen-grab of a frame of the project in the Program monitor and one from YouTube also ...

Your settings look pretty normal, I'm puzzled at the YouTube result myself. If you import that file back into PrPro does it look good?

And ... after exporting you took the file and uploaded to YouTube ... what settings did you use there?
