nice, how do i get that map, which gamertag should i search? and awesome in 1080 points :D

[play2winG]

nice stuff , Magix here

[CoondogEnterprises]

how can it be 1080p, halo is only in 720....

[mdtohm]

It is upscaled, which takes advantage of youtube's new 1080P compression system.

[CoondogEnterprises]

do you think i could do it somehow with my blackmagic intensity pro?

[mdtohm]

Yes definetly, you'd basically capture in uncompressed 720P (59.94fps) then use a program called "Instant HD" which is a Red Giant plugin for aae. So you import the clip, apply the effect *make the composition 1920x1080, and adjust the video to be 1920x1080, then render it out. The final rendering method is up to you, personally I rendered out of AAE uncompressed, then used a separate rendering program to make it compressed for Youtube, but thats up to you

[NuclearSmurf]

do you record your raw files in 1080p or 720p? like I always figured not to bother going to 1080p cuz mine aren't that high because of Hauppauge HDPVR and thought it would just make a bigger file size n crap

[mdtohm]

I recorded at 720P, and used an upscaling program with interpolation to convert it to 1080P. Generally the actually video doesn't look a lot better, but when youtube compresses the file since it is of a higher resolution, it fits their "1080P" profile, so the video quality looks better.

[NuclearSmurf]

@mdtohm which upscaling program is it? and how much bigger are the files because since HD takes up so much already idk if it's worth it

[mdtohm]

Size wise, this 18 sec video was about 180mb, but this is also the final render, you would only be doing it at the very end of editing a project.

[15muffinz]

sry... but "upscaling it" doesn't evan do shit... if you want 1080p... recored in 1080p...

[15muffinz]

and im not being an ass... get an hd pvr

[NuclearSmurf]

@15muffinz I have an HD PVR and it only goes to 720p. 1080i is NOT 1080p. but so for this video md did you edit it and finish it in 720p then upscale the final or did you upscale the gameplay and then render it out

[15muffinz]

1080i can be converted to 1080p tho in any rendering program... same quality as 1080p =]

just pixles arranged differently...

[mdtohm]

1080i and 1080P are not the same, 1080i interlaced (hence the i)

[nn75]

@mdtohm 1080P is better than 1080i BTW

=)

[mdtohm]

haha yeah I'm well aware

[HiddenMercenaries]

@mdtohm even tho 1080i and 1080p are different its impossible to the naked eye to see a differnce

[mdtohm]

The video was recorded in 720P (uncompressed) then upscaled using a upscaling program. In the future if I were to edit and wanted the final to be 1080P, I would render out the entire video as an uncompressed 720P version and then use the upscaling software. If you try to render the final in 1080P, when the source is 720P without interpolation software, your just stretching the video

[mdtohm]

This was recording in uncompressed 720P, while as an HD PVR captures in compressed 720P, big difference. An upscaling actually works very well, and is used in a lot more applications then you'd think. The quality is very similar to 720P (the actually video file I used to upload), but youtube has to then compress it for their servers. They have 4 separate compressions, 360,480p, 720p, and now 1080p. If the source is 1080p then the compression is much lower, giving a much higher quality stream.

[AlphaWolfSniper]

wow, i came

[mdtohm]

I'm going to say the test is a success. The quality looks amazing, look out for all of my future videos to be of this quality on stream.

[MicrowavedHamster]

Fuuuuuuuuuuck me hard. Damn that quality is SEXY!
