I'm having a big problem getting a good-quality picture whenever I upload a 1080p video. I'm recording game video with Fraps and using Primiere to encode it. It looks great once it's exported, but when I upload it to youtube the quality suffers greatly, especially during high-motion and around text. Here's an example of a 720p video we've uploaded that looks great: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8LISMa29Dw#t=26 Here's is a test from some 1080 footage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GucLwj40mQA For comparison, here's a frame from the video file that I uploaded to youtube: http://i.imgur.com/skNwe.jpg
And here's the same frame on youtube itself: http://i.imgur.com/dS5QF.jpg This difference map provides a telling picture of the quality difference in our example frames: http://i.imgur.com/5yBlT.jpg The export settings I'm using in Premiere are as follows:
1920x1080 square pixels
NTSC standard
H.264 format
Profile: high
level: 5.1
Render at maximum depth VBR 2-pass
Target 43 (MBps)
Max 52 (MBps) Use Maximum Render Quality
Use frame Blending I've tried turning off Maximum Render Quality and the other options, but nothing seems to work. The file looks great on my computer when I play it with windows media player, but when I upload it, the quality is decreased very noticeably. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated! If you need more info, let me know. |
