I've got a niggle about my streams. I know this is picky. But like some of you, it matters to me.
This is not big or important, but I'm trying to understand what the solution is.
My friend streams @ 30FPS and his hands move quite smoothly on his streams. He uses professional cameras (Sony A5100) and Atem Mini.
I have a Laptop with Nvenc Encoder & choice of:
1) iPhone 12 app: Filmic Pro (HDMI Out + Capture Card)
2) iPhone 12 app: OBS Camera (Lightning Cable to USB)
3) Logitech C920 (USB)
4) Logitech C922 (USB)
When I move my body or my arms on these videos, I look 'Framey' i.e. like a bunch of fast pictures thrown together. I'm aiming for smooth. Not really 60FPS but maybe 30 or 48 would be nice.
I've tried OBS and Camera settings at:
30FPS
48FPS
60FPS
FLV Recording. CQP from 22 down to 17, Max Quality and Quality.
The laptop is operating at 60hz refresh rate, nothing else open etc.
The reality seems to be for me that 48 and 60FPS barely look any smoother than 30FPS. I feel like my the frame rates when I set it to that looks closer to 20 but I believe the graphics card can handle this.
There is one weird exception - at 1080p the old C920 camera pointed at the DJ equipment looks way smoother during movements when you see my arms/hands.
I've been trying to avoid spending on the Atem Mini and a new camera as that veers into somewhere below €1000 and the gains are minimal. I'm a believer that it 'can' be done and I just don't know how.
Live Example: Notice at first I'm slightly jotly when I am in full view (watch my hands, then notice how much more smooth it is on the camera pointed at the equipment)

Is there anything I can try with this equipment to smoothen me out or do I really need an external encoder?
