Uploaded 2 clear videos from videopad to youtube, they look grainy

dee100

Initially it was 1080, I changed it to 2560 1440....this reduced the grainy but it still doesn't look like before I uploaded it to YT.

In my laptop, the video is clearer and more focused. any suggestions, please what I can do? It is too poor a quality on youtube.

If it looks good in a PC viewer that hints at a YT playback issue. Perhaps the stream isn't being delivered at high quality? Check playback settings...

Share the file and someone will check it out. Upload the file/s to a free server, such as Google Drive or MS OneDrive, get a shared (public) link, copy the link and paste it here or to me in a Private Message via the mail envelope in the top-right corner of this forum. When using Google Drive, if necessary change "restricted" to "anyone with link can view."

thanks a lot!

The videos are unlisted, links below.

tomorrow, i will try uploading them again as 4k instead of 2k, that just might improve the quality....

I filmed as 1080 1920

Codec is better quality one VP 09 as I uploaded as 2000k

The videos are at 720 from YT and look normal here. For that type of content there should be little need for 4K (or even 2K).

Export as mp4 from VP, then use YT's uploader. See how that looks.

if the videos look normal on your PC, then that's great then it just looks funny on my PC only.

To get the VO9 codec on YouTube which is better quality, I have to do it on 2560K or above. I tried 4000K today on another video and it looks terrible. If I upload it under normal one, 1080 1920, then I get the cheaper codec for smaller channels, it's generally supposed to look in poor quality in that format

Don't know what you're seeing there, but your video looks typical here. No artifacts, fuzziness or pixelation.

Here's a screen grab, with brightness/contrast slightly enhanced.

Share the project and we'll test it. Not the export or YT URL, as above. The process is easy, quick and can be done privately. Just follow these steps...

Back up --- With your project on the timeline, click on MENU at the top-left. Click FILE|BACK UP PROJECT FILES TO FOLDER. Choose a folder and SELECT FOLDER.
Upload --- Use a free server - Google Drive, MS OneDrive, etc.* - to upload the saved, numbered FOLDER. Do NOT upload the individual VPJ or export file.
Get link --- Get a public link. If using Google Drive click GET SHAREABLE LINK. If necessary change "restricted" to "anyone with the link can view"
Share --- Click COPY LINK | DONE. Paste that link here, or click the folder at the top-right of this forum to message it privately to me. It won't be shared.

* Before uploading, right-click the folder, click PROPERTIES. Look at the File Size to confirm that it's not too big for the free space on the server.
