So I noticed that the videos I uploaded to Youtube did not allow me to actually 'see' the screen shots I was creating. A little research reveals that while I am uploading quality 1920 x 1080 (HD or High Definition), and youtube is accepting this quality...
...when YOU are viewing the video, your default viewer in youtube is set to 720p (SD).
This video shows you how to change that playback.
I don't know if this will change your DEFAULT view setting. I haven't done that research yet.
