blur sets for overwatch?

[sacred robin]

everyone here seems to be using blur for just minecraft and it doesnt look as good in overwatch 2, im wondering if anyone has settings i can use specifically for ow2

[knotty crater]

did you check #1104758683193319494 #⭐｜render-hall-of-fame ?

[sacred robin]

is this smoothie or blur?

[knotty crater]

blur.
Out of context but would you please remove the "n word" from your status?

[sacred robin]

k

would it look good even if i recorded at 60 fps? if i put it on 120 i frame skip A LOT with a rtx 2080

[knotty crater]

low fps results in something called "artifacting"
Basically parts of your video "smear" which is undesirable

better if you can 180 FPS+

[sacred robin]

can a rtx 2080 do 180+ on ow tho?

[sacred robin]

well i tried 120 and started seeing a powerpoint slideshow so thats a no

[knotty crater]

send current obs settings

[sacred robin]

unless there are settings im missing to fix that but idk

ok

[knotty crater]

ah yes i love 1440p

rec at 1080p

[sacred robin]

thats my monitor res

ok

[viral onyx]

use p1

only affects filesize

[sacred robin]

buh?

[knotty crater]

play & rec at 1080p

[sacred robin]

impossible 😭

[knotty crater]

res & fps have more effect assuming your rec settings are optimal at best

[sacred robin]

1080 on a 2560 monitor looks like

[viral onyx]

and set multipass to single pass

[sacred robin]

shit

[viral onyx]

theyre using p6 :/

[knotty crater]

[sacred robin]

so wshould i have it on p1?

[viral onyx]

worth trying that before dropping res

[viral onyx]

yes.

[sacred robin]

ok.

[sacred robin]

using 1080 on a 1440 monitor looks awful

[knotty crater]

unless using p1 + multipass helps then you will need drop the res or stick with 60

[viral onyx]

set multipass to "single"

[sacred robin]

yuh i just did

[knotty crater]

you can use things like masks through smoothie

but that's another can of worms

!maskguide

smoothie-rs masking w/ paint.net & Video Tutorial

If you prefer learning through a video, you can follow this tutorial

1. Download and install Paint.net from https://getpaint.net/.
2. Ensure that your video resolution matches your clip's resolution.
3. Capture a screenshot of your game with it's interface / HUD (aka static parts).
4. Open the captured screenshot in Paint.net.
5. When selecting the shapes tool in Paint.net, remember to disable anti-aliasing.
6. Create a new layer, and then select it.
7. Begin creating black shapes around your GUI and the areas you want to mask.
8. Fill the shapes using the Fill Bucket tool.
9. Color the transparent or checkered regions in white.
10. Delete (or hide) the layer containing the game HUD image.
11. Save the image as a PNG file.
12. Use this PNG file in smoothie-rs by pasting the folder path in folder path and typing file name (with extension)

[sacred robin]

would putting base on 2560 and output on 1920 not be fine?

or do both have to be on the same value

[viral onyx]

same value

[sacred robin]

ok

[viral onyx]

first try recording

[sacred robin]

k

[knotty crater]

better if the source (game) & video (base & output) res are the same

[sacred robin]

another thing i forgot to mention im using replay buffer

and idrk what memory to put

might be the issue

[knotty crater]

obs needs to either transform the source & scale it

[knotty crater]

i have seen people using 2 GB and such for 1080p180 (I think?)

[knotty crater]

this has some overhead

[sacred robin]

soo what should i use for 2560

1440p

[knotty crater]

everything 1080p

[sacred robin]

playing 1080 on a 1440p monitor looks like 720p tho

it looks like so much less than 1080p

[knotty crater]

try switching from display to gpu scaling or vice versa

for me display scaling is just point scaling on crack

gpu scaling smoothens out shit

honestly the root issue is the video resolution

you either tradeoff resolution or fps

[sacred robin]

this is what its on rn

i think thats default

[knotty crater]

try gpu

[sacred robin]

ok

[knotty crater]

see if it still looks like shit

or else

[sacred robin]

doesnt look as bad ig

240 fps works on 1080 p1

should i try going up on the preset?

[knotty crater]

tbh, p1 -> p7 the higher you go better file size

i say stick with p1 for potentially better perf unless you want smaller files

[sacred robin]

is the quality diff between p1 and p4-6 not high?

my replay buffer is set to 30s and file size isnt a problem for me

[knotty crater]

in the context of mc, literally nothing

but please do check yourself if you desire

[sacred robin]

okay

do u think i should try this to make the downscale look less noticeable?

idk if it actually helps or not

[knotty crater]

the downscale won't be noticable to the viewer

only to you on your monitor

[sacred robin]

i know

but for me

yuh

[knotty crater]

nis tanks perf for me

[sacred robin]

what does that mean

[knotty crater]

nvidia image scaling

[sacred robin]

ah

i js realized this is from 2022

and idk what blur ver to install for that

is this smoothie?

[knotty crater]

yes

[knotty crater]

https://github.com/f0e/blur/releases/tag/v1.92

[sacred robin]

how do i install ffempeg for smoothie?

nvm found it

it closes almost instantly after showing a error

i already installed this but idk where to put it

(recipe)

[knotty crater]

https://ctt.cx/video/smoothie/recipe/

https://ctt.cx/video/smoothie/installation/#installing-rife-models

[sacred robin]

i already installed it

now i get this

nvm i think i know why

lemme try

[sacred robin]

its in like 10 fps now.

:(

after blurring

everything in the channels u mentioned before are like years old

[latent pasture]

you use blur or smoothie rs?

[sacred robin]

smoothie

[latent pasture]

hm

idk, i don't have any low fps issues with the smoothie rs

whats your like recipe.ini cfg?

[sacred robin]

on what game

[latent pasture]

many games

ets, minecraft snowrunner

, and a compiled video including many things like desktop or games, from davinci resolve

i dont have any issues that my output is low fps

its stable 60fps

i guess it wouldn't be your .mp4 file or something like that

[latent pasture]

hmm, i think i know why, the [frame blending] you have set it to 1200 fps, and thats the output, so you're interpolating it from 60fps to 2400fps, which is in my opinion too much, i use 480fps with 2.2 intensity and its good for me, and the 1200fps u've set in the frame blending, means that your output file, will be a 1200fps file, maybe thats why?

set it to 60fps

see if that fixes anything

(my cfg)

[sacred robin]

i dont record in 60 fps

[latent pasture]

in what fps then u record?

[sacred robin]

240

[latent pasture]

do you upload it anywhere?

[sacred robin]

wdym

[latent pasture]

like youtube

for example

[sacred robin]

i wanna blur it then upload it yes

[latent pasture]

then change it to 60fps, as youtube doesn't support more than 60fps videos, like probably all of the platforms

[sacred robin]

that doesnt mean anything

[latent pasture]

if you're going to set it to like 120fps or 240fps, thats your video output

the frame blending

[sacred robin]

240 will look smoother even if its on youtube

[latent pasture]

youtube will compress it

anyway

i guess

you can change it to 240

instead of 1200

and try seeing if that makes any difference

[sacred robin]

the frame blending?

[latent pasture]

as this fps: [value] is responsible, for how much fps will your output video have, i guess

yeah

[sacred robin]

k

[latent pasture]

and then try applying motion blur to your clip

and see if its still low fps

[sacred robin]

wdym

[latent pasture]

you said something like your output was low fps

right?

[latent pasture]

.

[latent pasture]

.

[sacred robin]

after using smoothie on the video yes

[latent pasture]

ye

try using it now

smoothie

[sacred robin]

k

[latent pasture]

after changing the recipe.ini frame blending

maybe that will fix it

[viral onyx]

bro what??? why are you exporting at 1200

[latent pasture]

like fr

[latent pasture]

do you know how could i make the motion blur apply faster? than 0.4x speed and use 100% of my cpu, and like 5% of my gpu?

and use av1 codec (i want it for youtube)

[viral onyx]

interpolation is mostly cpu and is expensive.

[viral onyx]

@sacred robin

[latent pasture]

oh, so the video output doesn't matter, the most what matters is the cpu making the motionblur, still how can i make it use av1 for exporting?

[output]
process: ffmpeg
enc args: H265 NVENC
file format: %FILENAME% ~ %FRUIT% ~ FPS - %OUTPUT_FPS%
container: .MP4

how do i make it use av1 then, when the enc args dont support AV1 at the end and just error

[viral onyx]

make your own support post please

[latent pasture]

i already made it

try to find it

it will be at the top

[sacred robin]

i was told to look through render hall of fame 😭

should frame blending be at 60 even if i rec at 240?

[latent pasture]

if you're uploading it to youtube i guess yes?

[sacred robin]

@viral onyx

[viral onyx]

frameblending is motion blur.

[sacred robin]

which tells me what

[viral onyx]

why would you want youtube to remove a bunch of frames

[sacred robin]

i created this post just bc i have no idea how any of it works

im uploading it on twitter not yt but ig its the same shit

[knotty crater]

fb -> output fps
interp -> intermediate fps
source fps -> interp -> fb

[latent pasture]

this are my sets, i interpolate to 480fps with intensity of 2.2, and its pretty good, i could bump up the intensity if i wanted more blurred output

[knotty crater]

please make another support post

[latent pasture]

im just showing him

[sacred robin]

what

yuh

[latent pasture]

idk why u use 2400fps, becase as of my testing the difference after 480fps is just so small, that its not worth it

[sacred robin]

again i have no idea what that means 😭 so should it still be at 60 if i rec at 240 yes or no (im sorry for my autism)

[knotty crater]

60

[sacred robin]

ok

[knotty crater]

fb fps should be 60

[latent pasture]

try using the interpolation fps from 2400fps to 600fps not only you'll get faster renders, but the output will be probably the same, unless you see some artifacts, change it back to 2400fps i guess

[latent pasture]

i've made one for AV1, still waiting for a response there

[sacred robin]

yuh it works fine
