The video lasted 7 minutes and weighted 2.3 GB.

How did u do this? is there a seperate setting? or are u not recording on highest quality? Cause The test I just did was perfect on max, 1080p at 60 FPS but it was only 30 seconds long and was 347 MB's

Noticed this today, will play around with it a little tomorrow.

I'm getting a lot of frame skipping in the videos it produces. Anyone else with similar problem?

Not a lot, but every now and then I'll see it. I dunno if that's my hard drive showing its age or not (game runs off an SSD while the video is saved on my 1TB HDD). The good part is it doesn't seem to affect my framerate in game one bit.

I did a capture with my camera spinning at a constant rate with Fraps and Shadow Play

Shadowplay video
Notice the spinning isn't consistent indicating there are duplicate frames.

Fraps video
Notice the spinning is consistent.

Edit: Think my original issue is gone, might be because I didn't reboot after update. I think the stuttering in youtube example is because of google converting 60 FPS to 30 FPS. Fraps was recorded with FPS fixed to 30FPS. I can't seem to figure out how to set 30 FPS in Shadowplay.

I record with Fraps set to 60fps all the time and don't experience this issue after uploading to YouTube. While I do experience the Shadowplay issue of it "sticking" on some frames, they might fix it with some software improvements in the future because this is technically the beta version.

I've used Shadowplay since BETA release day (Actually a bit earlier than that but lets hush on that) and it has a lot of pros and a couple of cons.
All the pros go to the quality, performance and efficiency while the cons go towards a few glitches/issues and naturally, the current lack of options/config (This is normal for a BETA, though).

I am on a GTX 780 GPU and play at 1440P resolution; so let me throw that at you right off the bat in case you experience something I don't.
I find that manual recording can create some stuttering/loss in frames with some games, while shadow mode records flawlessly, with my setup.
Therefore I usually have shadow mode on.

Notice the absurd amount of sharpness?
This is the result of going 1440P -> 1080P, plus quality being set to max.
I do not experience any FPS loss while using shadow mode, too.

So yes, for me, this is replacing FRAPS right now.

Here are some examples of shadopwplay being using it since it came out and it has it's ups and downs (like everything)


1080p downscaled from 1440p and using sweetfx. Because when you use shadowplay it will wash out the colors big time. The video will look very dull color wise.

In this clip you can see how dull it looks without using sweetfx.

It is a great tool, only needs a little bit of tweaking and more options.

It is barely noticeable for me while playing the game, but whenever cut-scenes are introduced I notice quite a bit of stuttering, whether or not I'm using Shadow mode or Manual mode.

In your Castlevania: Lords of Shadow example, I noticed pretty much the same thing as I get while viewing the cut-scene sections.

I can't seem to figure out how to set 30 FPS in Shadowplay.

You can't and shadowplay records in variable framerate, not exact 60.

Yes. Holy crap that's great.
