So I’ve been searching for a free 60 FPS video hosting site for months to no avail, but randomly stumbled upon this today: CreatorsCast. Highly impressed with the quality so far, and while it doesn’t do 1080p, that’s a tradeoff I’d gladly make for the extra smoothness. I could see a lot of benefits to 60 FPS videos for fighting games in particular. Think of tutorials and demonstration videos that actually move with the same fludity the game does. Not having lag is also a plus relative to streaming options.
Both videos as well as screenshots from both videos in fullscreen. The video is in 720p and fullscreen is 1080, so it shows the upscaling for the videos. I could have recorded in 1080, but I thought this would be better.
My overall impression of CreatorsCast:
Less saturated than Youtube, looks a little washed out, less vibrant and colorful.
Sharper than Youtube, it preserves the pixels in the video where Youtube blurs things and loses detail.
Fucking 60 FPS.
So some guy found a way to use the HTML5 Youtube player to get a sort of workaround 60 FPS video on youtube. It’s been going around and I figured I’d just post some results. First, the video that I first saw this in.
The difference is pretty staggering when you compare the moment Kim super jumps and he gets the shadow clone effect on him. Unfortunately, this comes at a price. The smooth video looks pretty great, but because of the nature of how you make these videos, the audio takes a pretty big hit. You slow the entire video down 50% which creates this warbling sound with the audio. It then makes this audio the original, so even though you’re playing the video in full speed there are still traces of the warbling you hear and makes the audio worse.
It’s still an interesting development and it’s hosted on a site that probably isn’t going down any time soon.
There’s not a solution which is as convenient as YouTube etc, but there are a few ways to display 60fps video- the streaming sites (ustream, Justin.tv, Twitch, and I assume others) allow streaming at 60fps, and the archived videos are also 60fps.
There’s also just hosting/links; there’s a clickfarming blog site (video, page) that allows video hosting, and you can upload stuff at 60fps, but I’m hot sure how many views you can get away with before they smell something fishy.
