Here we go, Episode 1
For some reason the quality of the video has been degraded, having used the same rendering profile render ever since the first tutorial.
I think youtube stuffed it up somehow. I will look into this

These new that you made are much better in content!

But the image quality is still poor...
I think the problem may be in the source frames aspect ratio - google waits 16:9, and when you upload the video with another aspect ratio - google recodes it with poor interpolation... Just my thoughts... But when I uploaded my last video to YouTube - it was very near to 16:9, 1924x1068, and google has recoded it to acceptable quality...
I think it will be ideal in all tutorials to catch the 1920x1080 area of screen, or just change the monitor resolution to this value before recording...
IMHO...

PS. I catched mine with THIS tool.

I wrote about these, new ones, I already saw them at YouTube before you fixed the links here... The quality of content itself IMHO is very good, much better than first versions, but for that interesting content - the quality of video is still poor... Unsharp and overcompressed...
As I wrote above, my IMHO is: it will be ideal in all tutorials to catch the 1920x1080 area of screen, or just change the monitor resolution to this value before recording...
