Hello everyone, I'm new here, so don't flame me if I didn't put this in the right forum. Since I started playing Osu, stepmania, and other things, I enjoy uploading my gameplays to youtube and such, and I wanted to ask if my video is good quality, and any tips to make it look better.

1. Nobody can see your video, I've fixed this for you :
2. The quality is great.
3. Idk if this is the wrong forum, we'll see.

Your combo bursts are huge! I would be so distracted if I used your skin :/

Thanks for the advice! I'll keep that in mind. The reason I don't record in a higher resolution, is to help the framerate, but if its about quality, then I guess I can compromise on the framerate.IppE602 wrote:
The quality looks ok for youtube.
You might want to record in a 16:9 resolution (1280x720, 1920x1080 etc.) and disable framerate counter.
Also, I use XI style from Xiaounlimited. I love the skin and think the simple design is much better than most other themes/skins.
You could have posted that in the general youtube thread in this same forum, I guess. Aside from that, the ratio should be 16:9, the video looks very bizarre right now. Good quality too.
Hello! Yesterday, i recorded the video for youtube too. It's my first time, so can someone estimate it? 
Ideally for youtube you want to render your video around 6-8mb/s @ 1280x720 at 24FPS in order to have a good quality video for youtube (with HD).
Personally, I just use Windows Movie Maker Live for rendering my videos. It's quick and easy, I don't do any fancy stuff and just want a high quality render.
Make sure when you record, you record at 24FPS and also render the video to 24FPS. Youtube renders all its videos to 24FPS so if your video is at 30 FPS, it will appear choppy and the audio might not be synced.
I use fraps and record at 24FPS. I then use Windows Movie Maker Live with custom output to 1280x720 @ 8MB/S.

how does this guy do it
Not sure, its on youtubes end. Sometimes when I upload, it'll do the full window, other times it still has blocks on the side.
Here's an older video of mine, same output settings as above and fill the whole window:

Recently decided to get Fraps and try out to record some videos of my taiko maps in gameplay.
Windows Live Movie Maker actually does a fine job compressing the original giant AVI file Fraps produces along with producing 1080p outputs.
1080p outputs, however, is a killer to upload. >:
Yeah 1080 is a pain to upload. Personally think 720 is good enough really, I don't see a need to upload to 1080 as few people even have monitors that used that resolution, mixed with not having sufficient bandwidth to properly stream a 1080 video.
Uploading in 1080p was more of me just wanting to test Windows Live Movie Maker's difference between encoding and saving the movie as 1080p output rather than 720p. Lesson learned; the difference is actually minor (well for osu!) and again, most people will end up toning up to 480p at most, due to internet speed or bandwidth limits.
Right, that's my philosophy anyways. I just stick to 720, its not like its actually HD anyways, real HD I mean.
That is wrong. 24 FPS is choppy as ass, and YouTube rerenders it at 30 FPS. If anything, recording at 24 FPS will screw up all your hitsounds, and the intermediate frames for the cursor trail doesn't show up properly. I personally store all my videos so I can watch them later, and I would freak out if they weren't recorded at 60FPS. It's not hard to record at 60FPS, using such a low framerate as 24 FPS really ruins the flow especially for games like osu!.Xact wrote:
