    After export and upload to youtube, my video quality seems to be very low, even when 1080p is selected. Why would this be?

    I'm exporting from the Replay Mod using: mp4 - high quality, Default Rendering, 1920 x 1080, 60 fps (my line parameter was never changed from the default).

    The quality looks good after exporting, and then I edit it in Final Cut Pro. I export to mov using 1920 x 1080, 60 fps, H.264 codec, video and audio format. I then compress it using Handbrake, but I have tried uploading without export, and all that results in is longer upload time and no greater quality.

    EDIT: I've noticed in FCP, my format is set to Video and Audio, yet there is also a Computer choice. Could this be the key? When selected, it lowers the file size by over 100 MB. What's the difference?

    It might be because it's still processing. Give it a bit of time and it (might) reach full quality.

    I did suspect this at first, but it has happened with multiple videos, days after upload.

    You can check out the most recent one here:

    One thing that I did notice was that at the very last second or two of the video, it looks incredibly clear! Which is very odd.

    Since I am not fully sure of your exporting process, I cannot determine the issue with the quality of the video, however if you could get the Replay + Camera Paths uploaded on the Replay Centre, I could try to export it with my settings (which I have perfected overtime with several videos) and test the quality, to see whether it could be a replay issue or an exporting issue.

    After you rendered the video in the RM, did it look good or bad quality?

    See, that's just the thing. I got smart and opened the reply video on a 1080p (ish) monitor and it looked great! So that leads me to lean toward it being an exporting fault in FCP.

    But I did have one question. Zemunsta, or anyone that exports videos that look good - do you select MP4 high quality in the replay mod? Or set the bit rate yourself?

    I highly apologise for not replying for a while, my browser notifications didn't alert me of any posts directed at me so I assumed I had none. I simply pick High Quality in my videos and they seem to work out, it may be your Export Settings onto YouTube however, so if you haven't I highly recommend you use H.264 Video Format rather than MP4.
