i use sony vegas, and my bitrate render is 240,000,000 and resolution in 3840 x 2160, if you able to change the bitrate in your render settings put it high as mine if premiere pro allows it that high if not just get as close to as possible. It will take triple the time to render but for the quality its worth
below is the quality of my side chat

The quality could also be getting downgraded on the down stream if it's detecting that your internet isn't really handling that good of quality. I've had that happen sometimes when I upload high quality VODs to some less-than-perfect streaming sites.

That said, I wouldn't exactly expect that kind of thing from YouTube.

@RogueMK @codeYeTi this is as high as it will let me go with bitrate. 4k resolution upload and it was still giving me really pixelly shit when there was movement. going to try doing the bitrate at 300 mbps and see if that works

Ok so guys I think I may have figured it out. The bitrate i set shadowplay to record at was really low for some reason and I think youtube s compression just made it worse. I dont think there is much I can do about it now but I increased the bitrate on shadowplay and it should be fine for new clips.
