Hello i know that youtube encode your already encoded video and you lose some quality whatever you do,but i don't think that is normal what just happened in my case
I recorded a video with bandicam , settings:
resolution 1366x768
codec H264(NVIDIA@NVENC)
quality 100
format Mp4
fps 60
bitrate 8.000 kbs
audio AAC 192kbs

i rendered in filmora x with the exact same settings, and the quality was the same, crystal clear.
Then i uploaded the video and youtube uploaded it exactly like this:
resolution 1276x720
bitrate 2200kbs
fps 30
audio 129kbs

My pc :
1366x768 monitor
motherboard A320M-S2H V2
processor AMD Ryzen 5 2600
16GB ram
500GB HDD
video card NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1060 6GB
windows 10

My question is why is this happening , the problem is at me or at youtube ? what can i do to improve my uploads quality. I tried all the resolution my pc and monitor could handle,bitrate range from 1.000kbs to 200.000kbs fps from 24 to 120 , every codec available in bandicam , i also tried other recording programs ,OBS ,Shadowplay and Dixtory with the same results.

Here is the screenshot of the video on youtube

I think it's just YouTube, video never looks as good on YouTube vs raw footage. However you might get better results by recording the original footage at one of YouTube's recommended video resolutions, which are:
  • 2160p: 3840x2160
  • 1440p: 2560x1440
  • 1080p: 1920x1080
  • 720p: 1280x720
  • 480p: 854x480
  • 360p: 640x360
  • 240p: 426x240
