I've been editing my youtube videos in DaVinci Resolve and noticed my exports look a bit soft/blurry. I record my gameplay and camera in 1080p, but I've been exporting at 1440p because I've heard that youtube uses a better codec for anything above 1080p. Was that a mistake?
Here are my current export settings:
-
Format: QuickTime
-
Codec: H.264
-
Encoder: Auto
-
Resolution: Timeline Resolution (1920x1080)
-
Frame Rate: 60fps
-
Encoding Profile: Auto
-
Key Frames: Automatic
-
Preset: Quality
-
Rate Control: Quality
-
Quality: Best
Should I just export at native 1080p? Or is there a way to make the 1440p export work without losing sharpness? Is there anything wrong with my current settings I should change? Thanks a lot for your help!
