FFS, GNOME! Just wasted a day of editing video because the built-in screen recorder records screencasts at such a low quality that I ended up with keyframe artefacts / ghosting in my captures.
Bloody hell…
And is there any way to set the quality? Is there ever!
[Edit] Use OBS. (Thanks everyone in the replies.)
(Don’t use GNOME’s built-in screen recorder if you’re posting HD+ videos.)
So, thanks to all the replies, I’ll be redoing a bunch of my work tomorrow using OBS.
So, in short: if you want to record screencasts and you care about the quality of your work: DO NOT USE THE BUILT-IN GNOME SCREEN RECORDER. It outputs low quality videos and you cannot change the qualiy.
Use OBS instead.
*le sigh*
G’night!
Please let us know how that works out for you.
@Professor_Stevens Did a few tests tonight; it’s perfect.
Awesome! I like it partly because it does seem pretty solid, with all the basics working most reliably. But another reason is that it doesn't try to do everything. It does stick to the basics, which keeps the (re)learning curve reasonably flat.
@Professor_Stevens Yeah, I used to use it early on for streaming, before I got the Atem. Just never thought of it as a recording tool (mostly because of how large an app it is and because GNOME comes with one. Albeit one that’s clearly not fit for purpose.)
