Do you have a perfect way to record at 60fps while using a screen that shows images every 75 times per second?
Hi, good day. Just wondering if there is a way to record in 60 frames per second even though my monitor is set to run at 75 hertz? I tried this before but the video looks choppy instead of smooth when playing against a 60hz monitor. The reason for that is because I have a 75hz screen so I thought if it was possible to use all that extra hz for smoother gameplay while still getting a really smooth 60fps video for YouTube. Yes, I know I can do the 75fps / 75hz video and let Youtube change the frame rate down to 60 during processing or edit but the result isn't great.
What resolution are you uploading videos to YouTube at? Unless your videos get lots of views, YouTube won't use high-end VP9 compression for clips that are 1080p or lower. I don't get a ton of views, and I only have access to a 1080p capture on my 1080p display, so I resize them to 2560x1440 while compressing with Avidemux. I also use ABR 30,000 bitrate compression, which gives very good quality. One might think resizing to a larger resolution without the pixels needed to support it would make things blurry, but the higher compression rate makes up for it. I still see SO many blurry 1080p videos on YT, and I believe if more people knew about this or took the time to follow these steps, their videos would be much easier on the eyes at 1440p with superior compression. Now I know this won't specifically fix the refresh rate issue, but it might make them look a ton better at 60Hz capture IF you are currently uploading 1080p resolution clips without lots of views. Can you please post a link to your YouTube channel so I can see what videos have already been uploaded? That would help a lot in figuring out what needs to be done. Or just embed any of the problematic videos you've already posted to YT.
I get what that means, but it doesn't connect to why you're asking here.
Windows' built-in game recorder can record at either 30 frames per second (fps) or 60 fps no matter what your refresh rate is or how many frames are captured. In other words, if you just take a picture from the computer screen all the time without recording anything, it will probably just copy everything that's on the screen right now at some regular speed and skip over any extra frames.
As I mentioned, fixing the refresh rate won't fix everything by itself. Without seeing your YouTube uploads, I can't say 100% that it's just causing this problem. Sometimes clips look shaky, and people on YouTube even notice and tell you how to fix it, but those tips don't always work for me. However, the compression method I described has smoothed out the videos pretty well. It's not a big change, but it helps.
Everything looks fine on my side. If I set the recording software or trial to record at a high frame rate like 60 fps, but use a refresh rate of 75 hz instead of 60 hz, something goes wrong when it comes time to play back. The movement feels weird and unnatural. There is no point showing you my YouTube video because I have only recorded using the 60fps/60hz setting so there are no issues there at all.
That is exactly what I thought too, and why I believe you should keep those settings as they are. The saying "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" comes to mind here. People who have fast screens usually just leave them alone anyway; nothing serious happens really.
