Why Snow and Confetti Ruin YouTube Video Quality

Your sports team wins. The confetti drops. And suddenly, the video quality falls apart. Why? Let's talk about interframe compression, bitrate, and unnecessary green screen effects.

    So a lot of people might not remember this but this video watching experence was slightly different when it came out. KZread has improved its quality over the years as has our internet connections. When Tom Scott says "over the next couple of seconds the quality of the video will come back" it was literal, it use to take a second or two for the quality to return. Now though? The quality instantly comes back within a fraction of a second. Maybe a few frames worth of low quality video but that's all that you can see now. Literally blink-and-you'll-miss-it. The same effect also would apply to when he increased the bitrate in the video. The quality used to still be rough for a few seconds.

    It’s true. Foliage is one of the most bit rate-intensive things in video. When I once filmed a forested path with an iPhone XS camera in H.264 with approximately 17 Mbps (the set bit rate of an iPhone with 1080p 25 fps video), I could still see some artifacture in the distance. However, whenever I use my Canon EOS R5 using the same resolution and frame rate, and the IPB setting (approximately 28 Mbps for 1080p 25 fps) any and all artifacts are gone, but that’s probably also due to the much larger sensor, which makes the detail much more easy to distinguish.

    One thing I didn't expect: the quality actually returns half a second before the confetti stops! KZread's encoding is a little smarter than I thought it was - I'd guess it worked out there'd be some spare bits coming up and used them to fill in the gaps.

    Thank you for this information. I'm over here recording video games, editing/encoding/uploading those videos, and I've been learning a lot through this. I see other people post videos that looks sharper, and I ask myself, "what do I need to improve?". I just figured out one of my problems with audio delay occurring in some recordings as the result of render delay. I am Streaming/Recording/Playing at the same time, which limits my ability to use maximum settings because of increased render delay. Now I'm looking at recording bitrate, and someone sent me this video. I've learned a lot!

There are 720p videos copressed by KZread that look like real life, because they are stylised, and don't have a lot of colour, so you can't even see compression in the blacks. I just wanted to highlight that sometimes the negative effect is negligible and most of the 720/1080 quality can shine without deterioration.

    When this was released in 2016, when he said "Even if I turn the bit rate back up, it still won't look good right now" it really didn't, it was almost as bad as when he limited the bit rate manually. Now, in 2024, it's instantly back and close to crystal clear, and the effect of when he stops the confetti and snow is almost unnoticable. This video is almost like a time capsule, so much fun to come back to.

    Definitely, I have been following Tom for quite a while a this might be the most well put together video I have seen for a while. I feel like I could show this video to my mom and she would actually understand it.

    Why do Tom Scott's videos have such friendly comment sections? I searched for at least 10 minutes and I could only find one that stated that his accent was bad, but it had a reply for someone else saying that his accent is awesome! A Tom Scott comment section is a magical place.

    +Powerpuff God ditto. It was interesting to watch a practical demonstration of it taken to such extremes, and Tom's one of those people that can explain something you already know about and still make it really interesting in general.

    Because TV is overrated. He's the boss of his KZread channel and can do whatever he wants with his content whereas a TV producer won't allow that to happen and he'll have rules to follow.

    Do any of you even watch wildlife shows on the BBC? if so you would know its a very slick operation with more viewers than X Factor, so yeah tv is overrated but doesn't mean there isn't anything good or informative on there.
