Hello everyone,
The issue I'm facing is that my videos on YouTube appear blurry. I have tried several methods, such as upscaling to 1440p (which is quite heavy for my PC) and increasing the bitrate, but they don’t seem to be very effective after uploading to YouTube.
As you can see in the video, the grass looks sharp and detailed when standing still, but when I move, the video becomes blurry, and the same happens with my camera.
Below, I will provide the relevant information I have to make it easier for you to assist me.
Sincerely, thank you!

Your log is incomplete, need a complete log.

Defender is disabled....

HAGS is enabled, it should be disabled.
00:57:52.278: HAGS Status: Enabled (Default: No, Driver status: Supported)

Are you aware you are recording Lossless? If so, set your Keyframe Interval to 1 or 2 seconds. Multipass to Single Pass, zero B frames & disable Look-ahead. Make sure your SSD is stout enough to handle the bit-rate of a lossless recording.

You're hitting the limits of what an encoder with limited bitrate is able to do. Foliage and grass, in general small detailed ever-moving environment cannot be efficiently encoded (compressed). You're recording lossless, but whatever you upload, Youtube will recode that to some fixed and somewhat low bitrate on their side. The quality you upload is thrown away.
A very good visual explanation provides this video:

What you can do: not much. Don't upload video with too much detail. Reduce the graphics settings of your game. Remove grass and foliage detail.

Defender is disabled.... : yes , i always turn off Microsoft Defender.I don’t think it’s too big of an obstacle regarding video quality.
Yes, I know I’m recording lossless, but I think I’ll set it to 35,000 kbps since it takes up too much disk space. I’ll apply the settings you recommended and hope it helps.
Thank you so much ^^

I understand that YouTube will "crush" my video quality ^^, but I’ve seen some other YouTubers with very detailed and beautiful videos. I wonder what recording software they use or how they achieve that.


Or is it because my PC specs are too weak to display it like that? :D

Yeah, your video looks like sh!t. There appears to be rendering lag &/or encoding lag but you failed to post a complete log.

I don't use YT but from what I've read, it's best to upload either 2 or 4k material. 1080p & lower doesn't get the best treatment during YT's re-encode.

I was looking at some info on that game. Evidently it's heavy on RAM/GPU usage. Your running thin on RAM along with writing Lossless to the OS drive, system is prime for thrashing. Might want to kill any running background apps, free up some RAM.
