For the longest time I could not figure out why Youtube (and Facebook) was dramatically reducing the quality of the dash cam videos I was producing. The images where much blurrier and low quality then I expected from a 1440p camera. It looked like I was doing something wrong.

I’ve been scratching my head on what the problem was. It turns out OpenShot, my video editor was compressing the files down to 1080p or even 720p resolution, which was causing a lot of artifacts when uploaded to Youtube. I added a custom resolution to 1440p, and now it is much clearer and better on Youtube.

I’m happy I found the solution …
