Upload Rocket League Replays

[Gamer Chick]

Hey guys,
i wanna upload one rl replay on youtube... i already found the folder with the replays but its not possible to watch them with vlc or windows media player.... So its not possible to upload them on youtube, right?? How can I reshape the replay or are there any other ways to upload them on youtube (steam)... Thanks

I *believe* that the files you found are simply data files that the game's engine uses to "recreate" the match in question in the game's replay viewer. They're far too small to be video files. Someone else may be able to chime in on whether they can be "converted" in some way into useable video files, but I'm guessing that unless you had some way to first recreate the engine that utilizes them, this wouldn't be possible.

*i.e. your best bet, at least for the future, would be to record your games with appropriate 3rd party software, which will render video files for you.

*and, for that matter, you could use that same video recording software to record your screen while you're watching the replay you want to upload. :)

And how did the others upload their replays?? did they record theirs?? I just scored a wonderful goal and wanna share it :DD

Replays are technically just recorded inputs. It just plays back all the inputs that happened during the match.

You have to use Video recording software, along with the Replay Editor in game to record footage.

Are there any plans in the future to make them video files and easier to share without the use of thrid party video recording software?

Personally I hope not. I save every match I lose, and some of those I win. If those were actual video files their size would preclude me being able to take advantage of that.

No. Because that would kill a lot of peoples game performance. Right now it just uses Unreals Demo recording. Hence them being in the Demo folder.

There are plenty of free programs to use while recording. I use OBS Multiplatform to record videos. If you have a Nvidia GPU, you can set OBS to use that for encoding so you get almost no performance hit.

hmm, but who said we wanted to render the video while we play when we can do it after we have played? We can simply visit a video replay log section, tick off those we want to render into mp4 format at 112kbs, 29 fps and have it save to a desired folder, job done. or reserve one core of the CPU, or as many as you want without effecting the performance. More ram you have, and a fast HDD (or SSD) to speed it up even while playing the game.

I think best thing will be rendering through Replay Editor with settings and etc.
