PS4 USB Video Export vs. Facebook Video Export Shows Double The Size And Quality

GearNuke: "The newest PS4 firmware update allows export of videos to USB, which results in some great quality videos ready to be uploaded to YouTube. Considering the fact that originally we were stuck with simply uploading to Facebook, this is a great feature to be had, and makes for a good alternative to a capture card."

An example of a USB video export that I did earlier. Though you need to take Youtube's compression into account...

TitanUp3646d ago

not a bad video, im guessing we will be seeing a lot more ps4 videos all over youtube which is pretty cool.

hopefully some peeps make a few music videos i love those.

tigertron3646d ago

Yeah I'm really pleased that we can now upload game videos to Youtube.

I never had a capture card or anything so being able to just copy files to USB and to simply plug in my PC and upload to Youtube is great. It's so easy to do.

levian3646d ago

If we can save the video to a USB drive, does that mean we can use an external hard drive as well? I have a nice 2TB one sitting around unused...

Mega243646d ago

It clearly got improved, and the edit tools are amazing, but need more transitions and fx tools. It is a great App though. 8/10 for me, and as a Vega user it was really easy to understand, can't say for un-experienced others though.

Ninjatogo3646d ago

The learning curve isn't that steep. There are tons of controls on screen but I think they did a great job simplifying the interface while keeping depth. I haven't done video editing in years, so I was quite impressed when I was able to pick it up and run through all the features/effects in about 30 min.

Father__Merrin3646d ago

i didnt find it easy to use TBH il spend some more time with it.

also i noticed the game video saves seem smoother than before?

Moe-Gunz3646d ago

I agree. I've been showing my test to everyone and they really like it. My main issue is the lack of fading for audio. I'm a Adobe Premiere, Vegas, Final Cut Pro, and Avid user so it was simple to me.

@Moe-Gunz

If I never have to use an Avid editing suite again I can die happy. The one we had in college was from the triassic period. There was always a rush to get the macs with Final Cut or one with an Adobe Suite.

The Share Factory is very handy, I found it easy to use myself but that woudl come with years of professional editing experience. Although since there's now the ability to export to USB I'll probably do most my editing on PC. After Effects the poop outta my clips :D

I do agree, an audio fade is definitely needed. You can do a hard cut that is immediately followed by one of those *BA DING! PRRRAY STASHUUN!* graphics so it doesnt seem to jarring when the music just stops.

Theres an option to change the volume, so all they need to do is add the ability to insert keyframes on the audio so you can have it transition between numerous values. Doubt it would be too hard of an addition and no doubt they will be updating it a tonne over the next few years.

We REALLY need a new video sharing site like YouTube but with Gamersyde's quality and 60fps videos.

Gazondaily3646d ago

Yeah definitely. Youtube just doesn't cut it anymore.

Shadonic3646d ago

looks pretty good, might start uploading to youtube again now.

take a look

Neixus3646d ago

whoah, nice RPG shot at the start =D

Ace Killa 083646d ago (Edited 3646d ago )

He literally "took a shot" with that clip :P lol epic shot brother. It is much more clearer.

I can't see a huge difference. If anything a bit sharper on yours compared to mine - https://www.facebook.com/ph...

Mind you I uploaded straight from PS4 back at launch day.

**Edit**
NVM i finally was able to do a good side by side comparison and your capture much more clear and brighter

Gazondaily3646d ago

Nice vid (your own music?)

Quality is MILES better

okmrman3646d ago

That's the music that came with the sharefactory

koolaid2513645d ago

Nice I have to try and make a video with ShareFactory.

christian hour3645d ago (Edited 3645d ago )

The music timed up so well with that helicopter rocket shot at the start! Awesome clips in there @okmrman

Looking forward to having a bit more music to use in sharefactory hopefully over the next few months. Does anybody know waht the policy is in using your own music?

I write/record some stuff myself, but I'm curious as to whether you can use stuff in the public domain on youtube/facebook as well? Or would it get flagged? I would totally just stick on some ol' timey ragtune songs from the public domain to juxtapose all the clips of explosions :D

AutoCad3646d ago

why cant you just upload it straight to youtube.?

SaffronCurse3646d ago

For now you can export it to a USB key and upload it through there.

porkChop3646d ago

I think that will come when we finally get a native YouTube app for PS4.

NovusTerminus3646d ago

Can I export to am external HDD? Or does it have to be a thumb drive?

Goro3646d ago

I can now transfer to USB, kind of takes away the point of having a HD PVR, which is a good thing :)

Bethesda Needs to Reduce the Gaps Between New Fallout and Elder Scrolls Releases

Waiting a decade for new instalments in franchises as massive as Fallout and Elder Scrolls feels like a waste.

Microsoft have Obsidian but I feel it's Bethesda who just don't want to play ball as they've always said they want to do it themselves.

Once MS bought Zenimax in 2020 they should have put the Outer Worlds 2 on the back burner, allow Bethesda to finish off its own Space RPG with Starfield (despite totally different tone why have two in your first party portfolio with two developers who's gameplay is a tad similar) and got Obsidian for one of their projects to make a spiritual successor to New Vegas.

When the Elder Scrolls VI is finished Bethesda can then onto the main numbered Fallout 5 themselves.

The Outer Worlds 2 started development in 2019 so putting it on the back burner wouldn't have been the end of the world, they'd have always come back to it once Fallout was done and it would have been nicely spaced out from Starfields release once they had most likely stopped supporting it and all the expansions were released.

If they did this back in 2020 when they bought Zenimax and the game had a good, steady 4 - 5 years development, you might have seen it release in 2025.

We are literally going to be waiting until 2030 at the very earliest for Fallout 5 and all they seem bothered about is pushing Fallout 76.

RaidenBlack9h ago(Edited 9h ago)

Its not just only Todd not playing ball.
Obsidian have made a name for themselves in delivering stellar RPGs, but most famous once have always been sequels/spin-offs to borrowed IPs like KOTOR 2, Neverwinter Nights 2, Fallout: New Vegas, Stick of Truth etc.
Obsidian wants to invest more in their own original IPs like Outer Worlds or Pillars of Eternity with Avowed.
Similar to what Bluepoint & inXile wants to do or Kojima is doing (i.e not involving anymore in Konami's IPs).
So yea, even if New Vegas has the most votes from 3D Fallout fans, Obsidian just wants to do their own thing, like any aspiring dev studio and MS is likely currently respecting that.
But a future Fallout game from Obsidian will surely happen. Founder Feargus Urquhart has already stated an year ago that they're eager to make a new Fallout game with Bethesda, New Vegas 2 or otherwise. Urquhart was the director of the very first 1995's Fallout game after all.
And don't forget Brian Fargo and his studio inXile, as Brian Fargo was the director of Fallout's 1988 predecessor: Wasteland

KyRo5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

Obsidian should take over the FO IP. They're do far better with it than Bethesda who hasn't made a great game for almost 15 years

Duke195h ago(Edited 5h ago)

I disagree. Part of these games is the support for the mod community. If they move to releasing a "next game" every 2 or 3 years, the modding support plummets and the franchises turn into just another run of the mill RPG.

Make the games good enough to withstand the test of time, to keep people coming back to them and expanding on them with mod support.

--Onilink--2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

I dont think anyone is saying they need to come out every 2 years (not to mention almost no game is released that quickly anymore)

By the time Fallout 5 comes out, it will be more than 15 years since Fallout 4 came out (same with ES6 coming out 15 years after Skyrim). Even if you want to use F76 as the metric for the most recent release, that one came out in 2018. It will be a miracle if F5 comes out before 2030

The point is that for a studio that doesnt seem to operate with multiple teams doing several projects at once, that their projects normally take 4-5 years as a minimum, and that now they even added Starfield to the rotation, it becomes a 15+ years waiting period between releases for each series, which doesnt make sense. Imagine that Nintendo only released a mainline Mario or Zelda game every 15 years…

They either need to start developing more than 1 project at a time, let someone else take a crack at one of the IPs or significantly reduce their development times

Duke191h ago(Edited 1h ago)

Why should someone else take a crack at one of the IPs? Look at what happened to Final Fantasy as a recent example - there is pretty clear FF fatigue setting in because they are now pumping out titles in the franchise every few years. Pumping out more games faster doesn't always make a series better.

There are plenty of options to make new games, not just create more titles in the same universe at a faster pace.

mandf2h ago

Yeah I’m going to say it, who cares about the modding community when making a game? Half the time developers only tolerate modders because they fix there game for them.

Skuletor4h ago

Yeah, let's all advocate for smaller gaps between series' releases, then we'll probably get headlines about how the series have dropped in quality and they could have benefited from more time in the oven. Let them cook.

SimpleSlave3h ago

"how the series have dropped in quality and they could have benefited from more time in the oven" So every Bethesda game then? Got it.

Listen, I would agree if this was about From Software or something, but Bethesda?

🤣

C'mon now. What timeline are you from?

Skuletor1h ago

Think about it, they're already bug filled messes on their current schedule, can you imagine how much worse it would be if they rushed things?

Duke191h ago

I mean you aren't wrong. People are going to complain about anything

isarai3h ago

Hows about you focus on quality, just a thought 🤷‍♂️

Sciurus_vulgaris2h ago

Bethesda [or Microsoft] would have to reallocate internal and external studios towards fallout and elder scrolls titles. Bethesda has the issue of developing 2 big IPs that are large RPGs on rotation. If you want more Fallout and Elder Scrolls, development will have to be outsourced.
