Hello all, I have been searching this forum for years now and its helped me out alot by you guys answering other peoples questions. But I am stuck right now. I used after effects to create an animation with lots of motion, I render it from AE in photo-jpeg or animation codec and import to FCPX to make some edits and export the ProRes file from there. When I upload to youtube the quality is SHOT, like completely ruined. Locally the videos look fine, I stopped editing in FCPX because it seems to me FCPX makes my videos a little blurry during motion after export. I have done many render tests and and uploaded to youtube and every upload came out with the same result. I have rendered one final output from AME using dynamic link from AE and the final output was gorgeous, no artifacts what so ever unlike rendering from FCPx. Until i uploaded to youtube then it would turn to crap. Here are some test renders
-720 29.97 prores 422 50mps - FCPx final render - Pre rendered in AE using Animation
-720 29.97 H.264 12mps - FCPx final render - Pre rendered in AE using Animation
-720 60 prores 422 95mps - FCPx Final render - Pre rendered in AE using Photo-jpeg
-720 60 H.264 13mps - FCPx Final Render - Pre rendered in AE using Photo-jpeg
-720 29.97 AVC - Youtube preset AME
-720 29.97 AVC 62mps - AME Final render AE dynamic link. The Final render came out to 34mps using quicktimes Inspector
I have read throughout online that the quality is better at resolutions 1080 or 1440p even. My cpu cant handle that render task thats why I render at 720. So Im at a complete standstill right now, my other videos had the artifacts in the upload but they weren't as noticeable as this project Im currently working on.
Link to my current project:
Current upload - 720 29.97 AVC 62mps export but youtube re compressed it to between 13000kbps and 24000kbps
* The quality is horrible, I dont know what to do, doesnt matter what settings I render at the youtube upload quality is crap. Im not giving up yet, I see tons of videos with lots of motion and sharpness uploaded at GORGEOUS quality, Example:
