Successfully used the Recorder a few weeks ago, with a playable frame rate in the Game View. Currently when using the recorder to capture an MP4 movie, the game view lags an excruciating amount. Below I have attached my recording settings, as well as a setup of the scene I am trying to record and included script. I am trying to record a character playing through a designed map, and am having the same problems recording in that scene as I am in this one (this scene is a dumbed down version of my ultimate goal).
Running 2019.2.0f1 with Unity Recorder 2.0.2
LyricRotation.cs
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class LyricRotation : MonoBehaviour
{
// Attached to lyric parent object. Rotates the 3d lyric in play area.
// Rotates back and forth.
public float Speed = 2.0f;
public float secondsToRotate = 1f;
float rotateTimer = 0.0f;
// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
rotateTimer += Time.deltaTime;
//Debug.Log(rotateTimer%2);
if (rotateTimer%2<1)
{
transform.Rotate(0f, Speed, 0f, Space.World);
}
else
{
transform.Rotate(0f, -Speed, 0f, Space.World);
}
}
}
I have found plugging into an external monitor with an HDMI resolves this issue. Without external monitor plugged in while recording, Game View runs ~5fps, while with a monitor plugged in, it runs ~60fps
Hi, please tell me this is not the best that the recorder can do? is there anything i can do to make it lag less?
Even when i tried recording at 240p with low quality, it looks the same in profiler…
Same issue here, any recommendations? Without the Recorder running my game runs between 60-100 FPS but goes all the way to 15 FPS when Recorder is set to start recording. I watched the Profiler and noticed in “Other” it spikes and the main CPU usage is coming from PlayerLoop, EarlyUpdate.UpdateAsyncReadbackManager, VideoMediaEncoder.AddVideoFrame, & VP8VideoMedia.VpxEncodeFrame. These things are causing my FPS to drop to where the cutscene goes super slow and the recording records it in that slow motion, I would speed up the video but it’s speeds are inconsistent and bounce between slow and normal speed occasionally.
