I do quite a lot of game testing and part of that is grabbing videos of in-game bugs/issues etc. Previously I had an Nvidia 1080 Ti that I used their software to record video, especially the option to grab the last x minutes came in very useful. I would load these up in Clipchamp, do some simple cutting/joining clips etc and export. Everything would be fine.
Now I've upgraded to a Radeon 6950XT so use AMDs software which offers pretty much the same capability. However since moving to AMD importing the video into Clipchamp takes far long, sometimes up to 10 minutes, I reduced the time captured from 5 minutes to 3 minutes but this hasn't really sped up the process any. Also exporting the video to mp4 takes longer as well.
Doing a bit of research it seems the issue is recording in AMD is using HEVC, which apparently gives smaller video sizes which is useful, but this processing time is a pain. I tried changing to AVC instead and the video pretty much instantly loads into Clipchamp but when I try to export it the video is corrupted, it appears green in the preview and playing it in VLC the video is just black with sound. Is there anyway to fix this? Failing that is there similar software out there for doing the same thing? I like Clipchamp for it's simplicity, all I really need to do is cut up clips, maybe join some together and have the result quality be pretty decent and smallish file size.
Someone suggest Handbrake. I installed it and got completely lost (plus there was no preview screen).
