Capture, Edit, Render: Create UHD Screen Videos with NVIDIA

Leverage the most from your Graphics Card and create HQ videos efficiently with NVIDIA and Google ultimate encoders.

What you'll learn

Capture and record high-quality screen videos with OBS Studio, with details about custom configurations
Edit video audio with Audacity, eliminating ambient noise and normalizing the audio volume
Edit video and audio with Kdenlive, with details about custom configurations: learn how to apply effects, transitions and basic edition techniques
Render your projects into constant high-quality, balanced bitrate, low-sized video outputs, with the highest possible processing performance
Produce high-quality videos for your lectures or whatever other applicability you might have for your captured videos
Learn how to capture a 1k video from your screen and upscale that to a 4k final rendered video, ready for upload
Learn the basics about video and audio containers and codecs (encoders and decoders)
Know the considerable differences between software-based and hardware(gpu)-based encoders
Learn how to evaluate the quality of an encoded video and how to decide which codecs, parameters and values to use with ffmpeg (both in OBS Studio as in Kdenlive)
Leverage the most from the your NVIDIA Graphics Card and from the new generation MP4 NVENC and Webm VP9 encoders
Reduce your rendering time to a proportion of 1:1 compared to your editing video length. Render a 1-hour 4k 60fps video in only 1h-rendering time… instead of in up to 10 hours. Diminish in 90% your rendering waiting with custom encoding ffmpeg profiles !
Use much less storage space with the new MP4 NVENC HEVC H.265 and Webm VP9 encoders, keeping the same quality (compared to traditional encoders)
Know the limitations of the encoding process and how to mitigate them regarding your final rendered video properties
All that using only open source free Operating System and Softwares: Linux, OBS Studio, Audacity and Kdenlive
Video Codecs used: MP4 NVENC HEVC H.265 and AVC H.264, MKV NVENC AVC H.264, Webm VP9 … with brief comments on: FLV, WMV, Gif and HuffYUV
Audio Codecs used: MP4 AAC and Webm Opus


Requirements

If the student wants to repeat the practices on his own, he should have a notebook or desktop pc with NVIDIA Graphics Card and Linux installed, although all used softwares are cross-platform and are available also for Windows and iOS. Though Linux is most recomended.
