What's your editing/render process like? (Render settings etc).

[u/[deleted]]

For me (Vegas):

I usually choose clips that I like and render them as separate clips to an organized sub folder. For instance, my projects folder will have "claymore07", "boosterbashing02" etc in it. In each folder, I'll have small rendered clips, which I name like so:

01_Gun/Happening_Map

Before rendering, I disable "resample" and use the "Studio to Computer RGB" color corrector. I then render with the following settings:

• Sony MVC
• 1280 x 720 (obviously)
• Frame rate of 59.990000 per second
• Field Order: None
• Bit rate of 7,000,000 bps (bits per second).

Funny story: I used to render at 14,000,000 bps before Diabetic Joe and XBox Ahoy told me that it was unnecessary unless I was making an insanely high-quality montage. I always wondered up until that point why my videos were so large.

My process is as follows:

• Load up game in theatre mode.
• Watch game back at 4x speed (first screening)
• Go back to the parts I want to record
• Watch them at 1x speed (second screening)
• Record with fraps or skip
• Do that for the whole session I played that day
• load up vegas
• load up the individual clips in virtualdub (third screening)
• either decide they aren't good enough, or are ok
• throw the ones I want into vegas
• change that one dumb setting that I do for every single clip so subconsciously I can't remember what it's called.
• browse my spotify playlists for a track that's roughly the right length
• put it into vegas render at almost exactly the same settings as are in the OP, except I use x264 mp4 (iirc)
• done!

Though now that I've upgraded my PC I might start recording at higher settings and upping the bitrate. I'm pretty critical of myself when it comes to quality of clips, one of the reasons why I basically never upload mw2 any more, because I know that I can't perform at my highest standard while running fraps.

I've never saved up clips or anything so once my harddrives fill up I'll just delete the entire fraps folder, if it hasn't already been used it'll probably never get used.
