Low quality YouTube upload.

[WooZ_Lv]

I have recorded Black Ops 3 game play using shadow play with highest settings and then edit in Adobe Premiere CC.

I render at 25 Mbps but when i upload to youtube video isn't as sharp as rendered video everything especially small text are blocky.

But when look for other black ops 3 videos they are much sharper.

In attachment are my rendering settings.

 

 

Why my videos are so blocky?

Quality looks good for me give youtube the time to proces the file that you uploaded to it!

can't say much about the content

 

but the quality is fine.

only thing i can i saw it upscale to 4k, so at 1080p looks better

Yeah I know but that upload is from yesterday. Just when I compare videos from big youtubers mine dosn't seem 1080p 60 fps

I didn't see any blocky stuff, quality is fine.
tho if you still want more quality try to increase the video bitrate in your video encoding setting, it will also increase the size of your final output.

I want to do more reviews and stuff but right now I can't because I am trying some gaming videos

I just realised this is like. The smartest way to advertise your videos

Yea...

Giv Youtube an hour and your video will be available at full resolution

[Ironi]

probably the bitrate. put it higher and you will be fine

maybe little bit but not the main reason.

I will try with my next video.

 

 

 

1. Other Youtuber

2. My YouTube video

3. Original video (rendered)

 

When comparing side by side then isn't too big difference but I will try higher bitrate.

8000 bitrate is 1080p quality

You could try MP4 export

For best quality possible and If you have plenty of disk space and the program you use supports third party codecs, I'd suggest exporting to a lossless format and then using x264 (open source encoder) to compress the video to lower bitrate.

For example, install MagicYUV, it's a fast lossless video codec (it's free, you can go and enter 0$ if you want and you get download link) , it should compress 1080p content to about 2-3 GB per minute, so for an hour you'd need maybe 100-200 GB of disk space. Your video should be rendered to this lossless codec at 2-3x real time.

 

Then compress content with x264 10bit version (will give better quality compared to the 8bit version, download the revision with the highest number) , use something like x264_10bit.exe --crf 10 --preset veryslow --tune film --deblock -2:-2 --output output_file.h264 input_file.avi

 

--crf 10  tells x264 to not worry about bitrate but rather encode each frame at that quality preset. It varies with source but CRF 19 is usually 6-10 mbps, and lower crf means more quality. CRF 10 should be about 20-40 mbps and lower values would be basically almost transparent, you shouldn't notice any quality improvements. If you think the bitrate is too low, abort encoding with Ctrl + C and change the number in the command line.

--tune film is the one you need, ignore the --tune animation because animation is more tuned towards sharp edges (think cel shading like Borderlands games) and --deblock option tells the codec to do less blurring of sharp edges than normal (if you're still not happy with result, use -3:-3 but no more)

 

--preset veryslow enables almost all quality settings, squeezing the most possible in the quality setting configured by --crf , any higher would give extremely small quality improvements for super long encoding time (like 0.5% more quality for 2-3x encoding time). For 1080p, veryslow should result in 3-10 fps speed depending on cpu used, if you want faster encodings you can change to "slower" which should encode a bit faster (and if actual bitrate is not relevant, you could lower the crf a bit to counteract the previous setting)

 

Render the audio separately, then mux the .h264  file with your audio file using MKVToolnix and upload that mkv file to youtube.
