And grass/vegetation, especially with motion blur, always looks like crap on youtube as well according to comments I've heard from (I think it was) totalbiscuit. I think some streamers for example set their HUD in games like Elite to green for that reason, it causes less artifacts. If I recall correctly games with a reddish palette are unpopular with streamers because the green channel often is compressed with double the bitrate than the red channel. If you compare to other videos and find your's to be looking worse, it could be that the color palette of your video is less well suited for the compression algorithm than the video you compare it to. If your uploaded source material is near enough to lossless, then whatever codec you use shouldn't make a noticable difference for the final result that youtube spits out after re-encoding it automatically. Although it does look like they've added some options, but the Lite version is still $199 and I believe it doesn't have much control over the output (presets only).Ĭlick to expand.Unless there is a way to prevent youtube from re-encoding by already uploading to their exact spec, I don't know how it would even be possible. It's not priced friendly for individuals. I contacted them about a discount since I'm just a hobbyist and the offer they gave me was somewhere in the 5% to 10% range (don't recall exactly), so it's a great application but more-so if you're a business or studio looking for awesome results. Unfortunately, Squeeze is very expensive.

What would be really fantastic in addition to screen recording is a nice list of applications and video encoding settings for uploading to YouTube, aside from the dime a dozen FFMPEG tutorials that require a lot of tweaking and trial and error (not very user friendly).Īs a side note, if you're looking for a professional application that does an awesome job for YouTube, I tried out Sorenson Squeeze and its built in YouTube profiles provided far and above the best quality for me: It seems that no matter how high quality I make the video or how I encode it, YouTube always re-encodes it and horks it up.

The problem I always have is encoding the video for YouTube. screen recording isn't too tough, there are tons of great suggestions here.
