Try going to the Zones tab in the Video configuration tab, selecting your favorite profile and typing in --aq-strength 1.1 in the Custom Commandline Options text box. Press Update to confirm the change and encode another video. Did this fix your problem? Most likely not, but I'm trying to narrow down the problem.

1.1 is
far too high to be used in most encodes, you will just waste bitrate. Better to try values such as 0.3 or so.
