I am trying to record a movie for the game cs 1.6. I am using OBS with these settings.

Now I am trying to make a movie similar to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ug62cU-4rZU.
The movie will contain alot of shaky movement of my screen.

The programs they used is something called VDUB, which pretty much I think takes a lot of pictures and them compresses them into a video. I'm not sure if doing this process, he's able to get MUCH more fluid movement. I used it before but it is a VERY old program.


When I try recording, the quality is pretty good, however it simply is not up to my expectations. There is a slight choppiness that I do not know what it is exactly. Lossless recording does not really solve this issue. Is it just that OBS is not meant for quality productions? PC specs aren't my exact issue, I have a really beefy CPU with 32GB of ram. I'm not really too familiar with the whole process, but if someone can guide me in the general direction, I'll be glady able to look further upon this.

It seems the maker of that video did this: he recorded the raw footage with a multiple of the fps he wants the final video in. In a postprocessing step, he uses a video editor to merge a number of consecutive frames into one output frame. The video is 30 fps and you see 3 shadows of eveything that moves, so it seems he recorded with 3*30 = 90 fps. It's a method to create some kind of motion blur effect for games that don't support motion blur.

If it comes to quality of recorded video, OBS is able to get up to an exact copy of the image stream of a game. With the correct settings, you're unable to distinguish the video from the original game. If your machine is powerful enough. Start with Settings->Auto Configuration Wizard.

koala you are a genius when it comes to this! Thank you so much. Your eyes are pretty mature, how can you tell that there are three shadows? Will I be able to recreate the same process if done with just OBS and vegas?

To see the shadows, simply pause the video player while some movement takes place and look for distinguished items, in this video for example ladders. Or if he swings his knife. Then count the shadows of an item in the still image.
In the Youtube player, once you paused a video, you can single step frame by frame with "." (dot). This way you are able to find a frame where you can see this effect best.

Unfortunately I don't know which video editor is able to do this kind of fps reduction and frame merging. I never did this. In contrast, I always tried to painstakingly match the output fps with the input fps to avoid such kind of blurring - in my humble opinion, this looks horrible and distorted.

You might have to do some kind of frame mixing. Basically, duplicate your clip one or two times, and then making them 50% opacity or 25% opacity. Then make them delay two, three, or four frames. Then add a blur. This is all editing, so no, not in OBS; maybe in Vegas. You'll have to look it up or in a Vegas forum.

Here is a more specific example of what I am talking about

earlier I was using test footage of a game play simply using OBS, but this time with lossless recording. This is how the video turned out to be: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7Wu9Dp8SJM&t=15s

I don't know what's the culprit but every thing seems so hazy/blurry. Everything feels choppy, even though its 60 FPS. In the top right, you can barely make out the kill feed because the quality is pretty miserable.




Now this video is the exact opposite. Everything feels crisp. The colors pop out. Everything is easy to the eye and feels good watching. This is the type of quality I am hoping to produce in the nearby future but am pretty new to everything when it comes to recording/editing.

thank both of you guys very much! i'll credit you two when I am done with this project in the description. Thanks again a ton!

The second video looks crisp, because not more than 2 frames were mixed together, the final video is 60 fps, and the author did use proper encoding settings both with recording as well for rendering the upload to Youtube.
The maker of the first video shakes the camera extremely, so there is an enormous amount of change between frames, and there is simply no bandwidth to transfer these amounts of data. I assume the recording was made with CBR rate control with too low bitrate. Switch to simple output mode and in the recording section choose "Indistinguishable quality" as quality. Use an appropriate encoder. If you have nvenc available, use nvenc.

alright I will try that. However my only problem is, with output set to simple - i can only save the file format as .avi
in vegas pro 15, it does not support avi/ or it fails to pick it up whenever i try to drag it up. I tried googling the solution but couldnt really find anything.

and also for the encoder preset, how would balanced/speed/quality affect footage such as the ones that I am trying to accomplish. The footage will be EXTREMELY shaky like the first video.
