Nachtjäger über den Hafen

How can I keep the blacks & shadows from getting all gross and pixelated looking?  The video looks exactly how I want it to while editing, but as soon as I export the file it gets the look you see above.  Is that due to how the Windows video editor handles the dark?

I guess it is due to how YT handles dark backgrounds. I recently watched a vid by Fishyyy and he mentions that problem.

 

Quote: "When I test rendered a few minutes of footage in the usual 1080p resolution, I noticed that the quality was absolutely terrible, because Youtube does not handle dark videos well at all. That is the reason, why I rendered the video in 4k, Youtube allows for a lot bigger bitrate this way and the video actually looks decent."

So if I'm not playing in 4k night videos will always be bad?  Or can I play in 1080 and then just export the video as 4k?  That would probably take a different video editor, I don't see any 4k options in the Windows program.

As I understand it, the res how you render your vid is essential. Afaik rendering vids taken in 1080p in 4K is possible?

 I just had the same issues with my latest video. It looked great while I edited it but the final copy on YouTube was all pixelated. Let me know if you find a solution.
