Whenever i shoot a video with my nikon d3100 the video comes out blurry?
Whenever i upload a video to youtube the quality is blurry and it doesn't look like its in 1080p. Is there a setting i could change in the camera? I render the video at 1080p. How do i fix this?
Check to see if there's Vaseline smeared all over your lens.
Use a tripod, and make sure you are watching it at 1080 on Youtube.
Most likely it is your bandwidth that is the problem.
Two things. "blurry"? Usually that's because of camera movement and lack of focus. Do you manually focus the camera during video? You should always.
No there's no setting in your camera. You Tube compresses all videos sent to them. Can you imagine the amount of hard drive space they'd have to have if they didn't compress? They couldn't get that many hard drives in a football stadium. So no, what you're seeing is not 1080… Perhaps 4 hundred something depending on how much the compress.
But the blurry that's easy to fix. I'd wager that 99% of that is pilot error.
Another thing, what lens are you using for video? I always use the widest I own at 18mm. That helps hide hand movement. Also if it's a VR lens make sure it's turned on when ever you're shooting.
Also are you shooting in short rolls, as in 10 or 15 seconds and then editing? The best way, always how we pros do it. I did a career in broadcast television videography so trust me I do know how to shoot and edit.
One more consideration that may help with all of the above.

I bought one of these for my t1i and it made a tremendous difference for me right away. Besides being able to see the screen in all lighting condition for focus it also gives you another point of contact which will also help to stabilize the camera because there's nothing quite so disturbing to viewers as a shaky camera.
Here's an example of what I'm getting with the setup I described. This shot with my Canon t1i.
Two causes. First, vibration. Use tripod and turn off VR. Second, lighting. Use lots of light to force a faster shutter speed to avoid blur.
Hey, it's video. You may be simply out of focus. Switch to manual focus and try to shoot as wide as you can while using the largest f/number light permits. This will result to a long depth of field making more of elements in the video stay in focus.
