Shadowplay youtube video quality

[LogicMia]

I've been using NVIDIA ShadowPlay recently to record my gameplay while playing games such as Overwatch and I've been trying to upload it to YouTube. I'm using the ShadowPlay Instant Replay feature settings of "In-Game" resolution and 60fps at 50 bits. I don't receive any performance issues while recording, and the video on my computer I see as a result is beautiful. Once I've ran it through Windows Movie Maker to edit however and posted it to YouTube, the final quality of the video on YouTube is nowhere near what it was as a local file. (For the record I tried uploading a video without putting it through WMM and the issue remained the same)

The resolution of the video seems to the be same, it isn't necessarily that the image is blurry, but the video doesn't look to even be showing 60fps gameplay despite my playing at 70+, and the local file looking beautifully smooth. I have both an HDD and an SSD on my computer, and I'm currently recording on the SSD and outputting to the HDD. I'm relatively new to all this, any tips or thoughts as to why the quality deteriorates so much from local file to it's YouTube state and comments on what I can do to resolve the issue? I know other people have been able to over come this issue as some people have the quality of video that I see on my local files on YouTube. I'd like to reach that point.

Example of a video recorded at 1080p and 70fps ingame, which clearly doesn't look to be even 60fps in the recording:

Thanks in advance.

Looks just fine to me. Don't understand where the issue is

Compared to the local file this is nothing. The gameplay locally is smooth as butter and is an effective perfect replica of what I was experiencing while playing live. The version of the footage on YouTube is nowhere near that.

Well idk what you're recording at but youtube displays it just as I would see it on my PC. Of course it is dampened a little but honestly not at all ugly. Get a nice smooth video too

60fps on youtube is only available at 1080 (and 720 I think) so make sure you select the correct quality in youtube's settings.

When you say this you mean click on the cog as a viewer and set it to 1080p, yes? If that's what you mean, then yes I'm viewing it at 1080p.

MERGED QUESTION
Question from LogicMia : "Gaming Footage Recording Quality Issues"

For months now I've been struggling to create high quality recordings of games but I don't seem to be making any progress. I have a fairly strong machine so any recommendations of programs are welcome, we don't necessary need to prioritize frame rate loss while recording. I'm looking for as close to lossless quality as possible from the state of the footage as a local file to it's finished state on YouTube.

At this point in time I'm recording my videos using NVIDIA's ShadowPlay and then rendering them through Sony Vegas 14 before uploading them to YouTube. Regardless of what I do however, in the videos I can't shake this quality deterioration once the video has finished uploading. As a source file the quality is perfect, but once I've uploaded it there is a glossy ghosting effect. The pixels aren't well defined, they're shifty and the quality is smeared - it's clearly been skewered from it's source state. Using ShadowPlay and Sony Vegas, what are the best settings I should be using (ShadowPlay recording settings, Sony Vegas project settings, render settings, any information you can give me would be welcomed) to get the highest quality output footage to YouTube. On another note, if there is other software that I should be using instead, what should it be and what settings should I be running?

Thanks in advance!

Youtube downgrading your video, if you want good quality 1080p60fps you have to rescale your video to 2k resolution in adobe premiere pro 2560x1440 or record video in 2k,after that youtube rendering your video like vp9.Sorry for my bad english.

My adobe premiere pro settings is : 2560x1440 ,60fps, High,5.1,2 pass rendering, Bitrate: 15-20. if u has good internet u can use more bitrates 24-30,but video file will be bigger as u understand.

Note: When you rescale your 1080p video in 2k and rendering in Premiere your CPU Usage will be high ,till 96% sometimes 100% .

you'll never get the same quality on YT that you get from the local original file

I use vegas and use:
Project properties - 1920x1080, framerate 60, pixel format 32bit, full rendering resolution quality Best

Rendering - main concept AVC, 1920x1080, Framerate 60, constant bitrate 14mbps

Also, right click video track, properties and disable resample
