I had been trying to edit videos recorded using nVIDIA's shadowplay feature, and it looks ok (not perfect, but I don't know any better way to do) when it just comes out of production. but when I upload it onto youtube manually, it loses quality in quite a drastic manner.

I have not used YouTube option built into the PD12, as it does not seem to allow hardware acceleration. The difference in production time is too great to not use hardware acceleration.

Hi ,
YouTube usually transcodes videos when you upload to YouTube, even if you upload with high bitrates it will have YouTube standard quality only, I have a link below where you can learn ideal format and video attributes for all kinds of video sizes...

Also the best format for uploading to YouTube is H.264 /Mp4 format, PD12 YouTube upload will use different format than mp4.

Anything I should be changing from here?

The ShadowPlay footage is supposed to be 60 frames (it says 58.XX frames when I was putting in last time though) so I have set it to 60 frames.

if you are planning to upload to youtube, dont keep 60 fps as youtube does not allow more than 30 fps videos, otherwise your settings seems fine..... PROHDGaming Subcribe @ http://bit.ly/1650GFv
