Why can't I upload my videos onto Youtube with HD resolution?

Hi YSSPark! I'm having the same quality issue via iMovie to YouTube. I have ipad2, which is terrible camera quality to begin with, but my regular craft videos show up fine on YouTube when sent directly there via Capture app without editing. Not Great, but viewable and enjoyable. Not so when edited with the iMovie app, the quality is so poor that there is no point in having paid $4.99 and spent hours editing to not really be able to see clearly what I'm doing in my craft videos. Even the photos taken with iphone 5S, which is better quality camera than ipad, look grainy in the montage portion on my video.

Anyhoo...I was checking in ios Settings to see what versions of each app I have and latest ios, to give accurate info. here and I noticed when I clicked on iMovie in settings, there is a selection you can make to choose, Record iFrame 720p. Perhaps this will help you. I've turned in on in my ipad. Because uploading in the best quality available from iMovie to iPhoto did Not change the poor quality of my edited video. I may need to go check the settings in the Capture app as well, sometimes when they update it gets kicked back to low quality for faster uploading.

Hope this helps, since no one has noticed your question.

ipad2

ios 8.4.1

Capture 2.0.2

iMovie 2.1.2 (1845-8)

I also changed the Capture App setting to High Def upload at 720, which is going to kill uploading time, as it's painfully slow already on 360. I wish they could go back and make the app run in the background, like YouTube worked originally. 😉

Another helpful thing I have done is download and pay for iMovie, the shorten videos and make photo monatages with a voice over to limit the overtime of my videos. I'm up to ios 9.0.2. I am saving edited iMovie videos in the Highest HD and since iMovies recent update, video quality is better!
