Just sharing some advice in case it's useful to you: The reason your recording isn't quite as crisp as other videos (especially obvious during animations like 29:40 where the screen becomes a mess) is due to your recording bitrate. Without going into all the boring math "bitrate" dictates how much data a video takes up per second of recording, and the lower this is, the more shortcuts it takes to the final video. If I had to guess your bitrate is probably 1-2MB/s? try increasing it to 10-12, I rarely see an issue there and the software will often realise that 10-12 isn't needed and drop down at times. Can entirely depend on your software. Apologies if you know all this and have a specific reason as to why you need to! Good video though :)
Thank you, this is very helpful! I'm not great with tech so that was all actually new to me! I've switched over to recording through OBS, so I'll look into tinkering around with that before I start streaming/recording next time. Thanks again :)
@AineTFT no problem! There's too many things to learn, but wanted to help you skip a few years or months until you stumble into that info xD we've all been there. Personally I just set mine way too high as I'm usually deleting whatever video within a few weeks and generally less than an hour, if you have at least 30GB free I'd just set it to 15+mb/s and let it work out for you, it has potential to slow down your GPU and CPU (I think ram but I'm not sure) if they're not powerful but tweak around and you'll find it :)
u deserve way more subs
I appreciate that :). For now, I'm just enjoying making the content - hopefully we'll get more people joining along the way. Glad you like it!
