VaM 1.x Best way to record scenes?

[GyroByro1]

ZHFX's RenderToMovie plugin has been giving me a hard time trying to get it to work. Are there any alternative ways to record smooth high quality scenes?

If you have an Nvidia RTX GPU, the Nvidia App can record video with no lag, all post effects intact, and at full screen resolution. It does not supersample, or upsize. I was impressed.

There are other ways to record video, as SlimerJSpud points out.

But those are all real time recordings. To render higher resolution and frame rate video, I think RenderToMovie is the only choice.

ZHFX doesn't seem to be active any more, but i see on his Patreon someone saying 10 months ago that a Vam update stopped it working. You might want to try rolling back a version or two (using Vam_Updater > options) and see if that fixes your issues.

Or you could ask for help on the discord. Getting help with a plugin is kind of a longshot, but worth a try. Mention that the creator is no longer active, as "ask the plugin maker" is the usual response for plugin help.

The best plugin for that, in my opinion, is this one https://github.com/yunidatsu/Eosin_VRRenderer/releases. It's a modified version of the one available on the hub with multi threading, faster image encoding. You can render in flat mode with high resolution, just remember to set every timeline instance to 'Game Time'.
