Question / Help Video is brighter than the game

blueyoshinl · Jul 17, 2013

The outcome video is brighter than the game itself. Have a look.
The game: http://i.imgur.com/NvD6V6t.png
The video: http://i.imgur.com/CEvchqt.jpg

I want to know why this is happening and how I can fix it. I think it's because of my graphics card.
Here's my latest log file:

Thanks.

I'm on a Pantone-calibrated monitor, and those two screenshots appear almost identical. Very slightly more intense color (brighter greens, darker shadows) in the 'video' one, but took swapping back and forth quickly to see/notice it.

flavored · Jul 18, 2013

to be honest, those two screenshots look pretty much identical

Kharay · Jul 18, 2013

To me they don't look at all the same. The video one isn't just a different gamma, the colours are actually notably different. I don't have this issue with Minecraft. To avoid any and all strangeness you may have caused yourself, in OBS' settings somewhere, you could always consider just resetting it completely.

If you want to, do the following:

Start -> Run -> %AppData%\OBS
empty that folder (without OBS running obviously)
Open OBS, it will have reset completely.

It's a crude but effective method to rule out any subtle changes you may have caused yourself, even if you did not mean to do so.

Thanks for the replies, all. Those 2 images do look pretty identical, that's right. But this ''problem'' annoys me a bit. And resetting the OBS folder in Appdata didn't work. But, thanks. :D

the video player used bt601 not bt709. not 100 % sure but on a bt709 source transform with bt601 to rgb the greens are to dark and red is to bright.

try a proper player or make sure the player use bt709
