Reduce resolution from 768p to 720p
Reduce resolution from 768p to 720p
Hey everyone, just wanted to ask a quick thing. I’m planning to record some videos using OBS for YouTube, covering games and general content. The issue is my screen resolution is 1360 x 768, while the manufacturer lists it as 1366 x 768. I’m curious if downscaling to 720p (1280 x 720) would be easier, especially at either 25 or 30 frames per second. Ideally I’d like to keep the quality consistent, but if there’s no visible difference, I’m wondering which resolution would be smoother to downscale. Would it cause any strange artifacts, and should I tolerate some black bars or clipping to preserve the aspect ratio? I’d prefer handling this myself rather than relying on YouTube’s settings. Thanks, MJBYTTV
P.S. In April 2016 I’ll upgrade my hardware so this won’t be a problem.
In any editing program, set the video to 720p or upscale to 1080p for a better YouTube appearance
Welcome to the Forum. Consider reducing the size later rather than adjusting during content creation. This should help capture better quality and higher FPS in real time.
Interesting, thanks. I'll keep that in mind and check back later. Recording at 1360 (or 1366 pending) by 768; downscaling will happen after recording. As for downscaling techniques, which ones tend to work best? Bilinear, Bicubic, etc. Let me know, MJBYTTV.
I usually use bicubic for reducing image size, and it tends to perform well. However, the resulting video may appear distorted, particularly when dealing with uniform colors in big datasets.
