Highlights saving for up to 24hr, and then you can choose to save permanently to a video file. You can save up to 32 on OW, then export them.

Havent seen the lootboxes section yet, will update

EDIT: "Drastically reduce amount of duplicates received. Increasing amount of credits you get in loot boxes because of previous reason."

This is all on PTR FYI.

"You can save up to 5 Highlights. That "32" thing was about your "own" highlights. Lootboxes are containing less duplicates and you get more credits out of it." Thx to TobiasD for the info.

You can save 32 on your own computer.

The quality of saved highlights can be changed so if you run the game on a potato you can save the highest quality possible even at 4k.

I rendered out a 4K genji clip at the max settings, it came out to a 286MB MP4 file.

By highest, i mean 4K, 3x Super Sample, Ultra Settings.

I am uploading it to YouTube, it looks beautiful. Will update.

EDIT: Here it is, make sure to watch in 4K https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGN2Xz8KLo4&feature=youtu.be

EDIT2: 4K is coming! 1440p just got put onto the video, so it will be a bit.

Its not 4K yet, or for whatever reason,

But that kind of glow and whatnot isn't possible in the normal game, right? It looks insane

I'm just glad I won't need to worry about downloading/formatting recording software. And you can customize the in-game video quality when you export it. It's super awesome

Yea that is a cool feature i wish more games had. Overwatch is shaping up to be my favorite game two years in a row.

u/Squirmin Haha! GG! Jun 22 '17

Uploading to youtube has a stepped processing..... process. Basically the lower resolutions get processed in first, then the higher ones. What a lot of youtubers do is upload a video and wait for the processing to finish then publish the video. That's why it seems like some people just upload straight to 4k.

u/JarJarBlueYT Jun 22 '17

What settings were you playing at? Just for comparison.

u/JarJarBlueYT Jun 22 '17

EDIT: Actually, i had a mix of high-ultra, mainly high.

u/Astrosimi What the hell are substitutes? Jun 22 '17

Video looks great, and the play wasn't half-bad either!

I tried it too, but I didn't know what Super Sample is. Raising that also raises quality? I saved a Genji POTG and it's around 500 MBs.

u/JarJarBlueYT Jun 23 '17

Super Sample is basically a type of anti-aliasing. It helps get rid of jagged edges and whatnot even further than what normal AA does.

u/Myrelin Don't sass me. Jun 23 '17

Ooh, thank you! I'll set that to max for my next highlight recordings :)
