Hello !

I stream on Twitch(720p60) and record locally(1080p60) to upload to youtube later and while my stream is ok, The local record and youtube are way too dark and i dont know how to fix it.

here my local record settings:
rescale output ON: 1920x1080
h264 nvenc
CQP 17
high quality
profile high
level auto

advanced settings
YUV 601 full

Here a video from nioh I streamed (look at around 4:00)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qq4XpETwKBA

Is that ok or it's just me and my settings?


thank you !

Ok thank!

but changing to 601/ PARTIAL will affect my stream ? because in stream it is not that dark like my records.
I stream with x264 and record with h264 NVENC

PS: I use a 1440p monitor, want to stream @720p and record @1080p
So should I use these settings:
Video: 1440p base 1080p output(scaled)
Output: Rescale output to 720p in streaming and no rescale in recording
Is that better?

I just tried some recording and 601/Partial give me a much better footage( not too dark!)
I give 709 a try but colors are wrong and i don't know why :/

"Also, as soon as you working with BT.601 and using HD video, make sure that you able to post process all this footage in the right way (OBS Studio: Color Space, Color Format, Color Range settings Guide. Test charts.)."

Sorry i don't know what is that, recorded videos look good for me

I wanted to know if there is a way to record in 601/full without the record not be so dark using nvenc ?

Unfortunately, I don't have proper hardware to test NVENC compatibility. It depends on driver, chip version etc. Please, post your log-file and don't lose the hope that someone who has similar hardware finds this thread and answers to you in nearby future.
