Time Trial Discussion

Strange, that did the trick for me, with HDR it was always washed out, only solution was to transfer to PC, edit in some video editing program and then upload, ain't nobody got time for that. I upload directly from PS5 to YT and then just edit the thumbnail and small details and off I go. And in that case, no HDR was always the better option, all videos looked normal, like I see it on the TV.

Recording issues could be a wide variety of things. But recording gameplay with the share button will inheritenly be compressed because otherwise you'd use all your space on the playstation so so fast so the quality is automatically reduced. If you then put it into video software and then you compress it there again that's a double compression essentially (Or at least that's my understanding) and then you'll lose more quality. Youtube then adds its compression and the end result is even more quality lost.

I record directly to a capture card at 50,000 bit rate (I used to do 100,000 but it's not a 1:1 correlation for quality and finding what works best is difficult). My raw files are massive (A 6 hour stream is normally between 150 - 200gb)). My compression in video editing is very high as well (I don't have it to hand) and that gives the best chance to Youtube with their compression.

I can only imagine the HDR option is an issue because of the data stored so turning it off reduces the size of the file (Potentially) so then the compression isn't as much impacted.

Sorry it's slightly off topic but thought I'd answer the video issue.

Just did that (turn off HDR, launch replay, record it and shared it) and it is the same :
With HDR :

Without HDR :


Turned off HDR from PS5 settings.

And video copied on USB key and opened on PC is ok.

And of course display on TV is worse without HDR.

Happy that it is not the cause, would be annoying to have to turn off HDR each time.

Can it be that you have in settings changed "exposure" or what is the real name when you can boost lightness if you are sitting in very bright room and screen is dark so you boost exposure ? that is somehow recoreded in replays too.

Can it be that you have in settings changed "exposure"

I did not change anything. Only HDR is active, and it does not seem to change the result.

And the video is fine on the computer if I save it to USB key. The veil shows up after it has been uploaded to Youtube, same way as it shows up when shared directly from PS5. 🤔

I've seen the same thing on my videos, so far the best solution I found was here, but it still does not look as good as on a PS5.

Perhaps the cow is too white?

Seriously though, there's nothing too wrong with this lap. Overall you seem to be very kind to the car, be more aggressive and the tenths will fall away. Put your foot down earlier and harder and let the 4WD get the cow rotating.

Assume you are using auto gears? Manual would gain plenty of time too, for example turn two is best in 1st.

🐄✨

🤔you are probably right !

I often go too wide if I step on the gas pedal too soon, so I remain cautious, despite it being a manageable 4WD

Indeed. I know I have time to gain but my brain won't MT on a pad. And I am sure there are plenty of much better lap times in AT. So it could help me but I got to find other ways. Thanks for yout input.

@Tidgney : thanks for the off-topic, I was hoping that someone who uploads content like you would chime in. I don't use video software. HDR or not does not seem to change the result.

I've seen the same thing on my videos, so far the best solution I found was here, but it still does not look as good as on a PS5.

That means copying on USB + touching the video with a software on the PC before uploading 😑not very convenient. Thanks for the solution.

If one day I find an easy solution I'll let you know.

[Edit]Tried to upload an extract from @Tidgney's video that I previously downloaded to do video comparison. Uploads like a charm, no veil in the end.

[Edit]Tried @peniu's method to see if it improves my video. First try on the veiled version of my video -> no change. Testing on the original file copied on USB key, that renders without veil on PC video player.

[Edit] I also asked ChatGPT and it gave a very comprehensive answer with many leads to explore... WIP

Through my researchs to get rid of this white veil, I found a very interesting software to do video comparison which could be helpful for our community. Maybe some of you know it already : https://www.kinovea.org/

It is used to analyze sport videos among other things.

You can load 2 videos side by side, define an origin of time on both, very precisely by slowing the video as much as you want and then play them in sync, with the speed you want from 0% to 200%, pause when you want and so on.

You can play them, even frame by frame, and reset the origin where you want (so the video used as a reference does not take too much advance...)

Supra convenient !

You can even draw skeleton of the person on the video for detailed analysis of movement, but in our case it is not necessary. But maybe there are advanced functions that could be helpful for our replays. Not tested enough yet.


(and with my screencap you see clearly the white veil that annoys me 😁 )

So i was done with it, then tried again with CSA and found some time....., now i have to go back again with ASM
24.1 is no joke mate nice work, thanks for the ghost, we appriciate it, i hope this one sticks for you!

Spoiler: Comparison Tidgney and my uploads, before and after using Handbrake

I won't tell you which one is my video after using Handbrake to correct colourspace... it is visible but far from being as good as Tidgney's videos.
