My video when exported to Youtube is blurry when it looks perfect

I upload the video to youtube and it comes out blurry and pixelated when I am moving fast

Are you saying it looks blurry uploaded to youtube? 😮 Youtube takes a bit of time to analyze and encode the video... so it might be blurry on there for a little time 🤔

[MIKE5F93]

Yes I know things have to process. It just seems fuzzy when I upload it on YT compared to when I am editing it. Could the bitrate be an issue?

is youtube cog setting on HD? I'd just give it a bit of time to finish processing

By the way.. did you know that at the start of lockdowns youtube limited its auto resolution to save on bandwidth with so many people stuck at home wayching youtube every day? Im not sure if they are still doing it. I just checked a couple of videos on there and they were not available in HD and in fact were auto set quite low 😮🤔

YT is aim for speed and availability, not for quality. 720p is not considered HD anymore, lol. Well, for YT encoding that's true. You may get better result if you upload up-scaled clip like 2560x1440. Seeminly, YT uses somewhat better encoding parameters for a 2.5K/4K clips
