WipEout Omega Collection (60fps 4K) - Empire Climb
9OK, so here's another 4K upload experiment. I've explained all about how recently (as in over the last year or so) all my YouTube uploads have been coming out looking horribly pixelated and blocky, despite the original video's looking fine (Read the description here for more info: https://youtu.be/yYGozUJ2W4k).
I've mentioned how sometimes I need to compromise the quality of the capture from an external source, because if the quality setting are set to maximum, the Elgato HD capture device I'm using has a nasty habit of sometimes corrupting the video file if I record for a long period of time - particularly frustrating when you get left with a load of unusable footage after just completing an incredibly taxing challenge in a game that's taken you hours to complete.
Today though, I wanted to try a 4K upload with the original video capture looking as good as humanly possible, so I obtained some HD footage from a selection of games, with the capture quality at maximum and I've decided to start with what is, arguably, one of the best looking games that I own - WipEout Omega Collection on the PS4. The original video of this looks pristine. It was captured at 720p (as the Elgato can't do 60fps at 1080p) and the rendered into 1080p with the highest bitrate available (60,000kbs) - this too looks crystal clear and perfect. This was then further rendered into 4K with the same bitrate. This isn't going to be a practical way for me to upload stuff, as I've ended up with a 2.5 GB file to upload for 5 minutes of gameplay. As I say though, this is an experiment...
Now, the thing is... I can't playback 4K videos on my PC, because Windows Media Player (in windows 7) doesn't support that resolution. So, I'm having to go by how the 4K video looks in the little pop up window in my video editing software - which looks fine. As I mentioned in my sonic and All Star Transformed video, I'm not actually really super fussed about 4K, all I want is for my uploads, at 1080p/720p, to not look like fucking 360p videos, which is what keeps happening.
So, I guess, once again, we'll see what happens when it's finished uploading and processing. If you're one of the first viewers/commentators, don't forget to give all the higher resolutions a chance to appear once prepossessing's finished.
