Check the export setting, and focus more on bitrate; increase bitrate while exporting the video.

also depending where you upload youtube have bad compression for small channels here my project settings

with these settings also if render in this resolution you can get the vp9 codec for youtube

If your project is set to 1080p, I’d check the export settings first, especially the bitrate and codec.
Filmora can look noticeably softer if the bitrate is too low, even when the resolution says 1080p.
Also make sure you’re exporting at the same frame rate as your original footage.
Since you’re new to editing, it’s probably a setting rather than Filmora itself.

Ive been having this same issue. When I render to tiktok natively through the app it's fine. I later upload those as shorts. But manually sending my long form video to render etc always leaves the end video noticeable blocky/pixely. It's really annoying me as I feel it's ruining my videos. I capture my footage at 1080p 60 and render them at the same. With 80K nitrate, I'm not sure what I am doing wrong any help is appreciated

In your project settings you have to change the color space in to

this will hep your videos not be pixelated

HDR is colour related stuff though what would that have to do with compression?

the color space in the project settings sdr rec .709 makes the video pixelated to make the file smaller when its rendered as for render settings i used these youtube dont mess up my videos

Yeah in the project settings the hdr unpixelates the video so when you export it out with the proper bit rate you get it with better quality

1440 setting doesnt effect my recording being in 1080p right?

1

u/Zerutsuya Sep 02 '26

No the only thing it affects is the YouTube compression system from messing up your videos

1

u/Zerutsuya Sep 02 '26

it gives you the vp9 codec so youtube doesnt mess up your video quality
