McLovin and I had a bit of trouble with the launch of our new channel entertainment studio which you can check out or right here both of our rigs were capable of recording gameplay at 60fps but the software we were using Nvidia shadowplay was creating an issue one that we can now finally confirm has been fixed for good once we finished upgrading McClellan's pc he and i conducted a test run in which both of us hopped online and played a bit of black ops 3 we were recording our own audio with audacity of software I highly recommend you can find it in this video's description as well as Nvidia shadowplay which I mentioned earlier was being used to record in-game footage so after about an hour of playing we called it quits finalized our audio to overlay the game footage and hopped into Adobe Premiere cue the big issue so our audio was not synchronized with our video and I should note that it wasn't just our audacity recordings that were out of whack so was ingame audio which made absolutely no sense to me at the time have a look so how could ingame audio which is wrapped up in the video file format that is mp4 be out of sync with the video its accompanying it didn't make sense to me further investigation led me to find out that shadowplay record to gameplay using a variable frame rate meaning that video itself is constantly fluctuating between a minimum and maximum frame rate now this might be old news for those of you who were always recording gameplay with shadow play but for someone like myself who's never dedicated a video solely to just in-game footage I was at a loss for words so Nvidia shadowplay records at a variable framerate and Adobe Premiere only features support for constant or fixed frame rates which is kind of the standard so what a bummer the beginning of every clip would look and sound great as it should but after a few seconds or minutes the audio would drift severely behind the video if this looks and sounds like something you've encountered in the past then chances are you've likely heard of this simple solution handbrake handbrake is a multi-platform multi codec open source program that allows users to upload and transcode various supported media into desired formats but when I should mention it's 100% free folks there are still good people on this planet so to fix the audio video synchronization issue with shadow play within Adobe Premiere Pro and other video editing programs simply open up handbrake select source at the top left and select either single file or folder depending on how many videos you wish to transcode once the file or files have been imported navigate to the video tab and select constant framerate boom there's our problem and there's our solution leave the video codec framerate and quality the same as the source so just slide this bar all the way to the right for lossless footage under the Audio tab select the bitrate tab and click 192 kilobits per second this is the native audio quality of shadow play footage any less than this and your audio won't sound as clear nor crisp once these tasks are completed select start up top and watch as your computer converts variable video to constant video perfect for Adobe Premiere which Michael Evan and I use on a daily basis do keep in mind that this encoding process could take a while depending on your processors potential and the total file size in question I'm super happy that we're now able to record and edit footage but the hassle-free I mean we look like total noobs haven't allegri sync the audio with the video every minute or so it was it was a severe pain and thanks to handbrake we no longer have to deal with the issue of importing variable framerate footage into a program that only supports constant frame rates there was a bit of ignorance in play on our part but come on in video variable frame rates Adobe Premiere doesn't like variable frame rates and neither do i handbrake is the simple solution if you're interested in copying our editing and recording workflow and it will help you out too especially if you plan on using shadowplay as your in-game recorder okay so for those of you who decided to stick around to the end of this video thank you very much as a reward I have two special announcements I'd like to make the first is in regards to the two giveaways we had going on if you're aware of what the second giveaway was that's because you're probably not follow me on Twitter whoops or you're not just you know on Twitter at all period but the the first giveaway obviously was the two rx4 ad giveaways one was sponsored by candid and the other was sponsored by science studio that's the global giveaway that ends tomorrow night at midnight at Sunday night Monday morning transition is when that ends and I'll announce the winners Monday afternoon and then the second giveaway was just for the Twitter followers from deep cool they were giving away to captain 240 EXO that's their newest 240 millimeter all on one radiator water loop combo and that was only for science studio viewers I made it just a Twitter based thing because I wanted to reward those who took the time to follow the channel and who still do actively follow it all you have to do to enter that by the way has just retweet the tweet you'll find it something it's somewhere up top in my newsfeed all I have to do is retweet that and boom you're entered it's a global giveaway they're just you know just do that deep cool is gonna send both of them out to whoever wins either one of them there's gonna be two of them they're giving away the second announcement I'd like to make is that I will be hosting a live Q&A session for the part 2 of the Q&A series here on the channel I did part 1 earlier you can check it out right here if you haven't already but a part two I want it to be more interactive so I want to interact with you guys y'all are awesome I mean there are a few trolls out there I can I can pretty much weed you guys out but for the most part you guys are super cool you're interested in this kind of stuff same things I am and that's that's why I like this community so I want to do a live Q&A session it will be I wrote down so I didn't say anything wrong okay so Sunday April 28th that's tomorrow relative to the posting date of this video at 3 p.m. CST that's Central Standard Time so that's Chicago time in the United States now I know that that's gonna end up being 3 a.m. somewhere else that's actually that time zone is Kazakhstan there's a few other countries involved in that small time zone but you're six hours ahead of UTC and we're six hours behind UTC so I know you're probably not gonna be up at 3 a.m. to watch the the live Q&A session but don't worry I'll have the finalized product posted on product like it's like I'm trying to sell something I'll have the final video posted on the channel soon after that so don't worry you won't miss anything you just won't be able to ask questions but if you are concerned about that you can ask me a question directly on Twitter again handle is in this video's description okay so that's it for the new segment of this video thanks for sitting around at the very end if you'd like this video be sure to give it a thumbs up give it a thumbs down if you do feel the complete opposite or if you hate everything about life be sure to click
