Project m TAS

[quidam]

Hey all,
I've been making some tool assisted fights for smash and just recently started making fights for project m.
I only have one fight uploaded, so comment if you wanna see a particular matchup and even a particular finish/combo if you want.

Everything about the video quality is gross (muddy, misaligned, FPS counter) but the TASes themselves are good.

Thank you! I'm using OBS to capture the video from Dolphin but for some reason, no matter what I try, I can't get it to capture at a higher quality. It may be because I don't have a dedicated graphics card. Nonetheless, I tried tweaking some things.

Is this better in terms of format?

 

[Kally Wally]

That is better, yeah. Still really muddy, but at least it's centered properly.

Can you post screenshots of all your OBS settings? I may be able to identify the problem.

 

[quidam]

won't let me attach multiple pictures per reply

 

[quidam]

apparently you need 10 characters per message

Also, setting a lot of these settings higher will make Project M have relentless lag spikes

Hmm. Alright, try this:

Encoding:
Uncheck CBR and CBR padding, set Max Bitrate to about 1000, keep Quality Balance where it is.
Check Use Custom Buffer Size, set to 0.

Video:
Set resolution to 852x480 (which is 480p,) and adjust your window size until it matches that exactly. If you make a Window Capture in OBS, right click it, and go to "Properties", it will tell you the size of the selected window, under Sub-Region. Check and uncheck the box to refresh the numbers.

Everything else:
Looks okay.

Make sure to record with Game Capture, and make sure it's centered properly (right click Game Capture -> Position/Size -> Fit to Screen.)

These are the setting I use, and it works fine. My computer has a stronger video card than yours, but not as strong of a processor. Hard to tell how that impacts things.

Yeahhh, it kills the framerate for project M haha. thanks for your time, though.
