I have a few questions my videos are 720p but they look pixely in the distance how can i fix this?
i use the x264 codec but should i use a refactor a bitrate or a quantizer which ever one what numbers should i use like for example what bitrate? Without the file becoming too big i forgot to mention i use dxtory to record and VituralDub to edit.

I hope this is enough info
Thank you for reading have a nice day.

I'd like to add a couple more things to the list.

1. Just because you're doing something, it doesn't mean you have to record or include it. I don't want to spend 15 minutes watching you mine while you stutter over your words. Nor do I care much for seeing you fiddle around at others' places, unless that's one of the main points of the video. You may have gotten distracted for a bit, but we don't need to know that. Get to the point, I want to be entertained.

2. If you don't have any commentary for a segment, don't include it in your video. Don't keep recording while just moving between topics every 30 seconds. Quality's better than quantity. A 10 minute video of you actually working on a project is more entertaining to me than a 20 minute video of you taking a trip down a road.

3. Keep administrative stuff to a minimum. I recently saw a YouTuber with a decent amount of subscribers spent the first few minutes of an otherwise exciting video explaining why the following video is going to be late or seem like it happened before the current video. Talk about that stuff while you're working on a project, instead of standing in one place or browsing through chests. It informs the users and makes progress.

4. Longer videos aren't necessarily better than shorter. For me the right video length is 20-30 minutes. Beyond that, you better be someone I know is a good commentator, otherwise I won't be inclined to watch for that long.

5. Near or at the start of the video, say what you're doing for that episode. It tells the viewer what to expect. That'll hook them into your video right away.

Edit:

6. Be willing to re-record a segment if it's just awful. I see a lot of streamers and let's players who will do everything in one take. If you're good at the game that may not be so bad. But if you didn't speak clearly, or if you did a process the totally wrong way, or if there was noise in the background, start the scene over. Don't forget to edit out the mess up!

I'm having an issue. When I use Camtasia to record my mc videos it doesn't show the chat, how do I fix that?

This is an AWESOME guide thank you so much my man
