Question / Help Record correctly at 144fps

[Morohoshi]

Good evening everyone, I'm new on the forum although as a visitor I always consult it, but being unable to find the exact settings or something that has solved some things for me .. here I am.

PC: CPU 8700k - RAM 16GB 3466MHz - GPU Amd Vega64 - Monitor Samsung 1440p 144Hz

I was trying to record Pes2020 without going too far with the resolution in the game, recorded I played at 1440p 144fps perfectly, but to record I decided to keep the 144Hz with the game resolution of 1080p and setting the recording of OBS to 1080p at 144fps as in the game in order not to have overloads while recording as happened a 1440p.
The aim is to upload videos of whole parts to Youtube for this game, the final file of a game with a total duration of 14 minutes is about 10 GB:

Recording format mp4
Coding H265 HEVC AMD
Balanced Preset Quality
Costant QP Frequency Control (QPC)
I-FrameQP 22
P-FrameQP 22
Key Interval Frame 2,00
Basic Display Mode

Basic and in-game resolution 1080p
Effective output resolution 1080p
Bicubic Scaling Filter
FPS value with fractional number: Numerator 144 - Denominator 1

Audio: 48khz sampling rate - 320kbps bit rate



As mentioned above, the result of the final 14-minute file is about 10GB, the quality is excellent as well as the fluidity of the 144fps but occasionally in a random time you can notice slowing down not really shots .. as well as rarely hopping the audio for a fraction of a second very fast but you can hear these small problems that I would like to solve in the original file. As for uploading the video to Youtube, the problem is the very different quality compared to the original recording as well as a substantial loss of fluidity, they do not even seem 60fps as the video on Youtube reports .. it has lost all the fluidity of the file at 144fps that I got from OBS and uploaded directly to Youtube.
I kindly ask people with more experience how to solve these types of problems, if I made some wrong settings for recording and uploading to Youtube, I got that 144fps OBS file that is still perfect and fluid if not for that sort of audio stuttering and slowdowns that are noticeable during the game.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sq-NkofAPs this is the video published today, in addition to the loss of quality and fluidity, you can still notice the defects of the original recording file, at 1:45 minute slowdowns and 1:51 minute audio skipping.

Thanks in advance for any comprehensive answers!

simplest way
record in 60fps

hard way
record in 144fps and adjust the video's by hand with editors and encode it with your own timing to a 60fps video

youtube supports only max 60fps
if you upload more then 60fps there select the frames that match the timestamps
the result is what you see

Thanks for the reply! I tried to edit the video from 144 to 60fps and the result is a jerky video .. even if I always play at 144fps but I record at 60fps the result is a jerky video the same, worse than the video uploaded on youtube! I wonder what those audio jumps and slowdowns are also present in the original file because otherwise the original file is really fluid at 144fps, is it a problem to upload videos to youtube with the amd H265 hardware codec of the original file? Are the OBS settings ok? At this point I wonder how I can create fluid videos ready for youtube..I would like to stay on the 144fps in the game..the hardware allows me and at 60fps in the game I find myself really bad at PES..what can I do? I ask for help on the settings I can try. Thanks again for the answer!

So I found that my main problem when I go to watch the recorded videos are stuttering at regular intervals, also visible on the video uploaded on youtube (leaving aside the little general fluidity due to an incorrect framerate) to note the stuttering from time to time .

This happens with any recording program and with any possible setting that I use the CPU or GPU to record, the result of the recordings are very fluid perfect but they have the aforementioned stutter. I enclose the last log with 2 recordings: https://obsproject.com/logs/3qFILA-G_K6guwon (to be consulted the first longer recording, the second one was my mistake in pressing the registration button and I have not consulted the video, in the first there are those stuttering)

At this point I don't know what the problem is, or my defective hardware for the recording or wrong windows settings .. but it seems absurd to me that with any program and type of encoding the recordings will be fluid and quality with those stuttering that seem regular ..I hope you can understand the problem, I really thank those who will respond to try to solve my problem!

Don't save directly to mp4
And you'll get frame judder as long as you're playing at 144fps and recording at 60 because 144 doesn't divide into/by 60 evenly.

Thanks for the quick reply !! I solved the fluidity problem by recording at 60fps in game and in OBS .. I can also record at 144 in game and in OBS but I decided to save hardware resources by limiting everything to 60fps as a 60Hz OBS monitor and 60fps game, all well with fluidity all perfect except for those regular stuttering always present in any recording program and type of encoding, I don't know if the problem can be traced from the published log..

@Harold Thanks again for the reply!

Playing at 120 and recording at 60 will get similar smoothness to 60 and 60.

I have already tried it like this when I was struggling with the 144Hz / fps, 120Hz monitor and game and recording at 60fps does not give me the same result of fluidity in the 60hz 60fps recordings and I have tested this..much better 60Hz 60fps.

But as I said, my problem is not the fluidity of the recorded videos, that I managed to get it perfectly as well as the identical video quality!
The problem is the stuttering always present in any case, it seems to be a thing at regular intervals in which frames jump in the recorded videos, flicker..no longer refer to the video of the link on youtube since I have solved both the image quality and the fluidity !

@Harold Thanks again for your help! I hope there are other solutions .. if I explained myself quite well on the problem ..

I can report this post as resolved since a solution has been found for the initial problem as per the title, but not for my secondary problem not related to the post I have exposed, so I create another post for correctness. Thank you!
