Do your render settings have something called "Gaussian Blur" or your sharpness isn't 90 or above?
He does mention that he does use sony vegasIf you took the time to view his videos, there's no Gaussian Blur setting on.
It would help if we knew what program/software you use, but a fix I can tell you on the spot is not to upload at 1920x1080, since 1280x720 is good enough and is what many Youtubers (including myself) use for footage. *EDIT: I saw your video, and you seem to use sony vegas.*
I render to 1080p MP4, that usually goes up and uploads pretty well into Youtube.
Yup the extra strain and the duration difference isn't worth at all. I have 6gb ram comp and takes me 5-10mins for a 720p video while 1080 takes me like 1 hr.Wow :O You must have a beast computer..
Mine's a Latitude E6400 and it's on Windows 8.. I would render to 1080p instead of 720p, but the long extra waiting time isn't worth the extra quality when I'm only at 140~ subscribers.
