How to Record Better Quality Gameplay Videos

Are you struggling with the quality of the gameplay videoss that you record, and find that most of them leave a lot to be desired? Without experience it can be difficult to record better quality gameplay videos, mostly because you may not know where to start.

The good news is that if you’d like to improve the quality of the gameplay videos that you’re recording, there are a few areas that you can focus on easily:

  • Increase the frame rate and resolution when recording

One of the most important factors that will affect the quality of your gameplay videos is the frame rate of the recording. Ideally if you can record at 60 frames per second that would be best, just be prepared for the fact that the video file size may end up quite large.

The resolution is important as well, and you should aim to record gameplay videos at a resolution of 1080p. Normally it isn’t necessary to record any higher than that, as UHD and 4k displays are still not that commonplace.

  • Manage the in-game graphics settings

Recording gameplay videos will place a load on your PC because it will be both running the game and recording at the same time. With that in mind you may have to manage the in-game graphics settings, otherwise the game itself may have performance issues what will be reflected in your video.

Reducing the graphics quality may make the game look less spectacular, but it will result in a better quality video overall.

  • Upgrade your PC

If you want to record high quality gameplay videos while running it at the highest graphics settings – you may need to upgrade your PC. Two areas you may want to focus on initially are switching from a normal hard drive to a solid state drive, and increasing your RAM.

Of course there are other areas that you may want to upgrade as well such as the processor and graphics card, but these tend to be more costly.

Now that you know which areas to focus on, all you really need to pull it off is a good game recorder.
