I set export to the h.264 and quality 98% (cant really remember if thats right I haven’t used this in a while lol) and the quality was super bad in the final output and 480px was max option on youtube after upload. How can I improve that?
What are the dimensions of the exported file? That you called final output.
Example:
Can you share screen captures of your Shotcut Export panel?
One of the Video tab, and one of the Codec tab:
Maybe you have Preview Scaling enabled in your Settings AND in your Export panel?
That would result in a small, low quality video file.
Set the Video Mode before you start your project. When you export, do NOT change any settings in Advanced.
YouTube does not transcode every resolution at one time in the beginning. You have to wait for HD and higher.
Thank you!! Looking at these I realised the resolution was set to export at 720x480! Preview scaling was turned off and the one I’m working on now has the correct resolution so not sure how but I’ll make sure to double check in future, thanks:)
