So getting the hang of this editing thing through GOPRO studio but I'm running into issues with quality when I uploaded the video to Youtube.

I've tried exporting the video (once created), through several different options using Youtube compatibility and Full 1080 P and the quality is still shit.

Full 1080 P

How do i Upload these videos with the exceptional quality that the gopro provides? The quality of the video (once exported) is full 1080p on my computer when i view it. Once uploaded, it turns to shit. When i upload to instagram/facebook, the quality is full 1080p.

Can anyone provide me with some answers here? Finally put some time/effort in uploading these videos and its been a pain.

Are you clicking on the little cog in the lower right of your You Tube video, default plays 480 but you can go 720 or 1080, takes longer to buffer though.

Just like Andy said after you click 1080 in the YouTube box,restart the video and it should give you an "HD" badge
