Question / Help 3440x1440 settings are somewhat blurry and preset problems

[sipalipz]

I currently have a 3440x1440 monitor and i'm trying to stream properly. I recently hit affiliate but I want my viewers to have a more crisp image. I stream currently with a bar at the bottom (which is what I want) that has my webcam, chat, and other stats included.

My internet connection is 750 down / 45 up. My logs are posted below:

I'm all over the place with my Output and Video settings and if someone has found a nice preset, that would be awesome! Thanks!

Set your base resolution in settings - video to match your display's size.

@Harold Sorry, I forgot to add that I put my Camera, Chat, and stats in an overlay at the bottom so it's not necessarily 3440x1440. I'm trying to fit everything into a Twitch 16:9 resolution and I fit the screen to that resolution so theres no black bars at the top and bottom with the 3440x1440 resolution. Most of my viewers couldn't watch in the 3440x1440 Twitch Ultrawide base canvas.

I believe Harold is suggesting changing your canvas resolution to the native resolution of your display, and then set output to scale to your desired target.

I personally stream my games at this resolution it took me forever to figure out a good way to do it... so I'll throw a bone here this is going on you can handle decent upload speeds for 1080p/30 x.264

make your canvas 1080p sized (1920x1080)
place your capture screen for a 3440x1440 source to forced scaling half the size so it will then always have a box 1720x720 to place that how you wish. add in a BG or twitch chat etc overlays etc etc the game source will be letterboxed, but it will come out very decent quality because its doing a exact half downscale..

output advanced mode: CRF 21, keyframe 12, cpu slow, profile high, tune none

remember streams have a upload cap. Youtube does not handle 21:9 video,live or uploaded, at all and will rescale it always to 16:9... twitch handles any dimensions for a stream but doesnt support a ingest speed for decent quality above 1080p (by the rules). I found out pushing 1080p/30 then doing a exact halfscale for the 21:9 source yielded best results for terms of quality any other scaling. this also makes my twitch videos exportable without any loss to yt as well (other then losing 5.1 surround, yes twitch supports 5.1 :) )

Hope this helps.
