Rendered videos appear pixelated on youtube

Hello!

I have been trying to fix my issue with pixelation for a long time now, and I've tried 100 different things to make it work. The problem I am having is that I record with OBS, then edit said footage in sony vegas 14, after which I upload to youtube. The video gets 720p60 or 1080p60 (depending on what I choose), but the videos look far from that quality. When I look at the footage taken directly from OBS I don't really see the problem, and usually the same when looking at it after being rendered in sony vegas. However, once uploaded to youtube it looks really pixelated and blocky and it looks the same for the friends I've shown it to.

I've seen a lot of answers to threads posted that youtube does this *bad compression* and theres nothing to do, but that simply cannot be true since the rocket league videos I watch on youtube does not have pixelation. Obviously I can't get perfect match between raw footage and youtube video, but I'd just like to be able to post videos without them looking terrible..

Down below is a test video to show you the issue, aswell as some of my settings and the obs-log file!

My specs are:

GTX 1080
16GB RAM DDR3
i7 4770k
SSD Evo Samsung 128GB
*insert name* Hard Drive 1TB

* I dont really know the names of the rest but the PC is relatively balanced and should not be the issue *

Videos from OBS and from VEGAS are directly placed on my regular hard drive, not the SSD.

If anyone has a resolution for my issue I would be very grateful :)

Solution


Exactly. A higher bitrate will prevent pixilation as the video plays. 24-bit is a fairly typical standard.

I am assuming you mean in the settings in vegas right? It feels like vegas is the problem here, not rendering a video that is well-compatible with youtube compression :(
