How I Put Together Chess Videos

I thought this might be useful information to share. The way I do it involves screen capture, which is done with OBS Studio, which is totally free. It's set on here to record at sixty frames per second, 1920x1080, at high quality. (The resulting MP4 files are never very big. Maybe five, ten megabytes per minute.) I put together a PGN, then copy just the move list into the Analysis page on this site. (That makes for a bigger chess board.) Make the browser fullscreen, turn off self-analysis, put the game back to starting position, wait a couple seconds, and then hit play and let it go all the way through, stopping it after about five seconds, and turning off recording in OBS Studio. I take those video files and open them in TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 7.

The first step is to edit out the beginning and end, keeping in mind that I will be changing the speed of the file to 15%. I leave a second in the beginning, and three in the end. In the filters section, I crop out everything but the board, add in a three-second fade in/out, and change the speed, as mentioned.

Here are the formatting properties:

1080x1080
2-pass VBR
12 Mb/s maximum bitrate, 10 Mb/s average bitrate
Very slow processing
Progressive
CABAC
44100 kHz / 384 kb/s stereo audio (128 if silent)
2 B frames in a GOP
2 reference frames
Don't encode keyframes into I frame
Output for streaming use

Those are settings preferred by YouTube.

Here is an example (assuming it works):

(This is the example I have now. It's not a video of a game.)

Here is a different game as a GIF, for comparison. (It's what prompted the whole exercise in the first place):

thank you

My computer is slow, so I use the automatic configuration.
