Question / Help Frame drop on animations

I don't think your computer can handle encoding at 1080p60. Try reducing the frame rate to 30fps, or downscaling to 720p.
 
Your CPU. By a good bit. i5s are great for gaming, but run out of steam quickly when it comes to real-time video encoding.

You can also try bumping the x264 preset to Superfast or Ultrafast, but this will significantly increase the output file size. Not a problem if you plan to re-encode afterward with a multi-pass high quality encode (eg: non-realtime), but 1080p@60 was resulting in around 350MB per minute on my i7 with Ultrafast when I was doing some test recordings, and chugged a bit on Superfast.

So if you have about 20GB of free hard drive space to throw at it for each hour of video you record (and a hard drive formatted with a filesystem that supports files that size), it may be an option. Oh, and record to FLV. MP4 tends to die badly on bigger/longer recordings.

Thanks for the info. Do you know of a good tutorial I could follow to do this?
