Hey

I have some issues with the Game Recording.

If i record my Games with 24000 kbit/s, my Video is to bright. I dont know, how i should explain this, but the Gamma of the recorded Video is to high. How can i fix that?

My Ingame and System Gamma is 1.0. And the Game itself looks great on my 4K Monitor. So it must be something with OBS.

And i have always Artefacts. So high i put the Kbit/s (maybe 50k), but i have always Artefacts

Here is my log: https://gist.github.com/2264d96f1d129839bbdcee5abe762227

And i have skipped Frames, but i only record at 1080p (Downscale from 4K Gaming Footage) on a I7-6700K watercooled. In OBS Classic, all is fine, but the Gamma Problem is still the same.

What can i do, to improve my Recordings?

The gamma issue typically happens when you change the YUV Color Range option under Settings > Advanced and your media player isn't handling the resulting output correctly.

Use the local recording presets to manage quality. Go to Settings > Output, change the mode to Simple at the top, then change the recording quality dropdown to something other than "same as stream." If you prefer to set things up manually, read https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/how-to-make-high-quality-local-recordings.16/

Hmm, i have 709 choosen, because, as i know, its for HD Recordings ok. But whatever i choose in the advanced tab, my recordings are always to bright.

What is, in your oppinion, the best setting for local recording ?

I read the linked thread, but i cant put in the information provided in OBS studio.

Like: Quality Balance: 10 (Where i can change it? Cant see this option in Studio)

But, as i put in this Informations as provided, my Video seems blurry and to bright.

I playback with VLC, if u have to know that. If i try another Player its the same. If i upload it to Youtube, its to bright too..So its not a local Player issue.

Color range, not color space. Do your videos look okay if you set the color range to Partial instead of Full?

Quality Balance in OBS1 is just a GUI option for controlling the crf param, which you would set yourself anyway. Don't worry about that one.

It won't fix the gamma, just the quality. How good the video looks depends on the crf value you set. It's all explained in the guide. If it looks really bad then you set a high crf value or didn't follow the instructions correctly.

Ahh, okay, so i missunderstand. But now, i tried your suggestions.

If i change the Range, from partial to full, the Video looks the same. I cant see any difference.

If i test with the CRF Parameters (i tested from 1-20) - seems the same quality. Maybe my VLC seems to be bad, because it seems the same quality - and massive to bright.

I can play with this parameters and upload a few Tests to YT, to check. My VLC seems broken.

But how can i fix the Gamma Problem? Whatever i try, the Video is always to bright. (In OBS Classic is the same issue)

If the quality doesn't change with the crf value you most likely didn't set a custom buffer size of 0.

In some cases your video card settings can affect video playback by adding color/brightness/contrast correction. You should also check that your driver settings aren't causing the problem.
