Major Quality Issue on my Tutorials

So I've been recording tutorials for my 2nd channel, and I know my early ones had decent quality, but the most recent ones seem to be very badly pixelated. The most recent one is really bad. Almost unreadable.

Here is a sample:

I record with Fraps, 29.97 FPS, and the AVI files look great. I bring it into Adobe Premiere Pro CC, still looks great. I then export to H.264 to MP4, with the YouTube 1080 HD (29.97) setting, and I end up with the crap you see above. This wasn't happening originally and it doesn't happen with my gaming vidoes. The software I'm doing tutorials on are running through a SaaS (software as a service) program, and I access it via my browser (Chrome). Not sure if that's what's making the difference, but does anyone know how to fix this?
 
You're the third person to encounter problems with video quality because of youtube. I have similar problems, I tried to make a Batman AO Lets play and every single one of those videos was ruined after they got finished uploading to youtube

This isn't even uploaded to YouTube yet. This is how it's turning out in the rendered MP4 file from Premiere Pro. :(
 
I was having some issues similar to yours. I then tried rendering ticking "Match sequence settings" with "Use maximum rendering quality" and this solved my problems. :)

Worth a shot.

Can you try exporting to something other than MP4? Do a test with a short video saving to other formats. I'd try WMV if you have the option.
 
I could try that, but it isn't YouTube optimized. Not sure why it's doing this now. It hasn't before. :/

Hmm, could be a codec issue.

I mention WMV because that's what I use on my tutorials and the quality comes out better than when I converted to other formats like .avi - I don't use Adobe though.

When I was having issues, I just recorded a 20 second sample and played around with different formats and options.
