Hi,
Some of you have noticed a loss of quality after ploading your video on youtube. No matter how good is your original video, you'll see a lot of blur and compression artifacts in some scenes of the final result.
The reason is simple : youtube encode automatically the video you upload, and limit the maximum bitrate. That maximum bitrate change depending of the resolution and frames per second, for example : 1080p@30fps will have a lower bitrate than 1080p@60fps. 1080p@30fps have a lower bitrate than 1440p@30fps.
It's fine for slow footage, but it can noticeably degrade the picture quality in a dynamic scene scene. A tank driving in grass, a ship on water, explosions and dust, you will notice quality problems.
How to solve that?
By recording in 1440p / 4k if your screen is big enough, or by upscaling your 1080p video in 1440...
