I've been searching for a solution. YouTube is pixelating my video quality after uploading. Gameplay Uploading is in 1080p 60fps with variable bit rate (VBR) - 2, from 10MBPS to 50MBPS max.
Can someone help me to get better?

Thanks in advance.

I won't say it's YouTube which is pixelating your videos here, YouTube is just a platform where you simply upload video, the quality of the video depends on the raw video quality and further it depends on the quality which you set while exporting the video. Owning a gaming channel myself, I can say without a doubt here that while you were recording the video, it probably auto-set your bits to lowest due to latency or due to lagging issues which is why some part of your video or entire video is pixelated. The best advice I can give you here is when you set your VBR, make sure that you put the starting Bitrate to at least"100000" and the Max Bitrate, you can as per your wish.

This should at least prevent your video to get pixelated however, do note that this would put bit pressure on your system If It isn't a high-end or medium-end built.

YouTube seems to strip video quality out to make it stream better. The video produced on my computer is always superior to when I watch it back, on YT.

Can you share which game recorder is best for this work? & also mine is recorded with Nvidia shadowplay.

I think this is true, but processing of HD version on YouTube is taking a lot of time if I upload it with HighBitrate. How can I decrease that time?

Yes, unfortunately, you can't decrease the time, it depends on the quality of the video/resolution in which you've recorded and exported and then the duration of the videos. In my case, it takes at least 24-48 hours for the video to either get fully processed if It's 1980*1080 60FPS with the bit rate above 15k + Γëñ 2 hours duration and when I'm doing 2K resolutions, it takes 72 hours. If you decrease the bit rates to 10k here and your video is around 30 mins or so you should see the results in 24 hours max which means the video will be fully processed but I always believed it further depends on the load YouTube has in its back-end as in every second there is someone or the other who uploads a video on their channel or who is uploading a video, so if you fall under such server in which there's a lot of load on it, the processing time further depends on it. If there's not much load on the server or the region your YouTube falls into, it might be done a bit quicker.

That's decent specs, and I usually use OBS for recording stuff as Nvidia Shadowplay eats a lot of resources and it takes a lot of space while recording.

15k bitrate means you use 15MBps bitrate, is it?:thinking:
