Game Recording File Size

[Bazadar]

Hi All,

 

I've been playing around with the ShadowPlay Recording option from Nvidia. Currently have it set to record the last 10 minutes of game play.

 

Settings are:

 

In-game Resolution (1920x1080 for all my games)

60FPS

Bitrate: 50MBPS

Using H.264

Video Size: 3.8GB

 

Now I would like to upload some of the videos to Youtube, The File is already in MP4 format but the size seems abit large? Or is it ok.

 

Cheers

The Shadowplay recording is so large as it records a LOT of detail that most of the time is safe to 'lose' when editing down for uploading to a place such as YT.

You could toss the straight recording up to YT (and they'll work wizardry on the back end to adjust it for viewing easily), or you can toss it into a video editor and shrink the filesize along with bitrate down whilst adding things in post-production (voice-over commentary, title cards, transitions...).

As loathe as I am to suggest it, Windows (Live) Movie Maker (at least Win7+) can put out MP4 videos at much smaller sizes than the raw input with more reasonable bitrates for remote upload/playback.

 

For more professional-grade video editing, Pinnacle Software, Sony Vegas or Adobe Premier tend to be the more-often used ones when it comes to pay-for software. Though I'd be more leaning towards Nero Video if you're willing to buy Nero2016 (Platinum gets you all the programs in Nero's catalogue currently), as it's what I prefer to use.

 

A quick Google search will bring up a LOT more software, free/open source and pay-for/closed source alike.

Lol Ill prob look at Windows Movie Maker, Not doing anything fancy just uploading to allow my friends to see some gaming clips

 

Thanks for helping.
