Jamie,
The only problem I can see in your export is you are changing your frame size. I can see some quality loss on your subject’s motion, especially when the shots are darker, I think this is because it’s hard not to lose information in the blacks when encoding.
The only last suggestion I could give would be trying to export to a lossless format, such as quicktime .mov. .mp4 is a lossy file compression and possibly YouTube’s re-encoding of your video is leading to the quality loss.
This is getting a little above my knowledge level, but that would be the next thing that I would try.

If you are referring to the effect at 13 seconds, what they did in the tutorial was created two different mattes which parented to the white line. Parenting the mattes with the position and rotation keyframes turned on, then allows you to keyframe the position and rotation of both the line and the mattes together. So you when create keyframes on the white shape, they should also be replicated on the two mattes that you parented to the white shape, and from there you should just be able to keyframe rotation.
Hope this help.

Jamie,
I’m curious as to where exactly you are noticing the loss of quality.
What I’m noticing is in the first video some pixelation on the effect layer over the video in the into and in the second video some lines in the sky.
From my experience, I think those problems come from a low bitrate. When exporting for 1080p HD your bitrate should be 10,000 – 20,000 kbits/s.
My guess is that when YouTube converts your video, the lower bitrate starts to bring out the pixelation and lack of information in the sky, so I would try exporting with a high bitrate then uploading to YouTube and see how that looks.
Hope this helps. You may want to post your export settings also.
