Hey everyone, I've always, always had this problem with YouTube and I've decided that now may be a good time to try and remedy it with some expert (or at least friendly) advice!

Rendering lowers the quality, I get that, and then when you upload to YouTube, again, the quality is degraded somewhat. But my videos that I record using either OBS or DXtory look absolutely great when I watch the raw footage, when I render them, however (I used Vegas Movie Studio 14 Platinum) they look absolutely terrible, pixellated, blurry, blocky. It's just horrendous. I may upload a sample video to show how they look but does anyone else have this problem (in general, with Vegas?).

I'd love to know if there's something I'm just doing... wrong, or if I should look into another video editing platform!
