Question / Help Recording at 1080p60fps ?!

[Stunt3r]

Hello guys! I really need help. I searched and tried lots of settings to record with OBS at 1080p 60fps but all of them seem to work bad for me and I don't know why.

My hardware is good and it should work perfect without any problems but I can't find the right settings.
Can you help me with some settings I should try? The only one that seems to work fine is that trick with custom x264 encoder setting (crf=15) but the problem is that this is making videos with like 100K bitrate and it takes forever for me to render, about an hour for 15min video which is insane.

PC Specs:
Processor: Intel Core i7 4790 3.6GHz box
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H97-D3H
Videocard: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 770 OC WindForce 3X 2GB DDR5 256-bit
RAM: 8GB

I also tried other recording softwares, all of them seem to work badly.. what could my problem be ? I tried different versions of Windows (8.1 and 10), all my drivers are up to date so I don't know what's the problem...

Post your obs log please.

Also, at 1080p60, the CRF 15 based recording typically makes videos with a raw bitrate around 40mbit (if you're using ultrafast preset)

Rendering time is a factor of your editing software, and if you're dealing with premiere or vegas, you're likely causing a major quality per bitrate drop by using their provided encoder (mainconcept)

You're not going to be able to avoid the 4x time to render by changing video processing software. It's something that comes with the territory for 1080p60.

This is my latest log: http://pastebin.com/FjrvWsh3 (1080p30fps)
and one before it: http://pastebin.com/0zX11bzk (1080p60fps)
I render with Powerdirector 12, the others are even slower..
One of my friend records with Intel quick sync and also renders with it and his render time is really low, 8 minutes for 20 min video.. (1080p60fps) He gave me his settings but for me it doesn't work.. my programs doesn't recognize intel quick sync (tried few methods, even with 2 monitors doesn't work)..

Yeah, you're not going to be able to avoid the 1h rendering of 1080p60 videos at all, regardless of what you use for your raw footage. Using QuickSync to render introduces a similar quality loss vs x264 to using mainconcept for your encoding.

Ultimately, the only way you're going to be able to improve the render times is with 6-core i7s or high end xeons that cost upwards of $5k US/chip.

IF I need to render videos I just leave them rendering overnight. It puts a delay in my pipeline and Sony Movie Studio doesn't do batch rendering (but you can start up multiple renders and leave them chugging concurrently). Sony Vegas + Vegasaur can though..

I do try to avoid re-rendering by using tools that cut the video on a keyframe like AviDemux and pre-mixing the audio as much as possible.
