Question / Help I have a 144hz monitor and I don't really want to set it to 120hz just to record at 60fps.

Recording 60fps at 144hz looks terrible. I set it to record at 72fps instead and that fixes the stuttering. However, what about rendering it in vegas? Do I render in vegas at 72fps or 60fps? Would rendering at 60 cause stutters or problems? What about uploading to youtube? YT is 60. Would that cause issues in the way it looks on youtube if I rendered at 72 or at 60 from an originally 72 video?

I feel like this is kind of a dumb question but I'm not entirely sure.

Thanks in advance lol

With 72fps capture, what you're trying to do at this point is interpolate 60 frames from a 72 frame source. That means you're going to be dealing with a 6:5 ratio, where every 6th frame is dropped. This is what introduces stuttering.

Even if we were looking at 144 to 60, you're dealing with a 12:5 cadence... |-|-|--|-|-- There's no nice way to split it, you end up with a 3/2 pattern any way you slice it, which is going to look better for smoothness than the 72->60 conversion (since it's basically 2 half-drops instead of 1 full drop), but it's a compromise nonetheless.

You may not like it, but the best option you have is to run at 120hz so you have the 2:1 dropdown. No stuttering whatsoever.
