Video Rendering Help

[Zagrom]

Hi.

I do game commentary stuff, and I play KSP fairly often however I always have a problem with the text being illegible in KSP recordings after I render. Other games look fine so I have never been sure what exactly is different for KSP.

I use Fraps for recording. I record in 1080p at 30fps. I use Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 for editing and rendering. I have uses a lot of different settings trying to fix this. Oddly so far in testing the best improvement was when I doubled the FPS to 60, it looked great after rendering, of course once you upload to YouTube it puts it back at 30fps breaking the quality again.

So in short, if anyone else makes videos and uses Premiere to render and gets legible text and good quality, can you let me know what settings you use? More info can be provided if needed.

As a second option, does anyone just know a way to increase the fon size? I mean making the UI doesn't really do that to any of the text I would want bigger. That would help too but I havnt found any topics explaining a way to do this ether.

I brought the text into focus by striking the side my head with an adjustable ratchet.

#EDIT: If you're new at this sort of thing, I highly recommend starting out with the ball peen before attempting any sort of ratchet.

I use Vegas Pro rather than Premiere, but the settings should be similar. I'm on an older machine too so I can only record at 720p, although I render to 1080p for those who have larger monitors. Also, I seem to have the best luck with YouTube and WMV files rather than AVI.

Fraps: 30 fps, lock frame rate while recording, stereo

Sony Vegas Pro: Audio: 192 Kbps CBR, 48,000 Hz, 16 Bit, Stereo, WMA; Video: 29.970 fps, 1440x1080 Progressive, WMV, 8.4 Mbps, Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.333

Here's a video of me crashing on Ike. Don't hate my crappy videos. I only do them for friends and kicks.

I like Handbrake.. It's useful for controlling quality vs. file size. Also windows movie maker has improved if you haven't tried it since the last update a while back. It has some useful features like being able to control playback speed for slo-mo or fast-forwarding effects, and the video compression seems to work well, and is customizable.(Bonus : these tools are free.) I have no experience with Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5, sorry.

Snapz X Pro & iMovie work for me.

I use Vegas pro and bandicam for recordings (I like it because I doesn't pick your frame rate up and smash it so hard it to the ground it sublimes into a cloud of 1 and 0s)

Anyway here's a shameless plug for my youtube channel http://m.youtube.com/user/kerbalspacevideos
