If I record a 120 fps gameplay and convert to 60 fps, will the quality be better?

[Burner345-BR]

My computer is very good, I can record games with a frequency higher than 60 fps, I wonder if if I record a game with 120 fps or 200 fps it will be of a better quality when converted to 60 when uploading to youtube.

I thought if you recorded at 120 fps it would have more fluidity even when converting to 60 fps.

Think to me, if I record a 4k video and convert it to 480p it will look better than if I recorded it at 480p, why not the same with framerate?

Nope...
Its all amout information. The diefference between 120 fps and 60fps is information, just as the difference between 4k and 480p is information. Now when you down sample in either fps , colour space or resolution you are discarding information. So in the end its not different than if it had been recorded at the lower resolution,

That's because temporal resolution of our visual perception maxes out @ 24-30 FPS already. Its fluid, period. And our technology has been able to serve that fluidity for decades. Our angular resolution however is pretty good so even if we let aliasing out of the picture, you can tell FHD AND 4k apart. Aliasing makes the situation worse as images have to be rasterized to be displayed breaking continuous image elements. If your yes were worse (feel free to simulate that effect by using glasses), you'd not see a difference between VGA and 4k. Technology has caught up with our temporal resolution decades ago but is just getting where our angular resolution is now (in the mainstream, niches are long there, but they're silly expensive).

For resolution you should play/record 4K on a 1920x1080 monitor, there is a huge difference compared to recording it with native resolution. Or even better, 4K resolution with 8x MSAA on a 1920x1080 monitor. You don't downsize after that so the quality gain stays.

Why would you want to record in a high frame rate and then drop it down? Why not just record at 60fps in the first place?

The recording software will record at what ever framerate you set it to regardless of what FPS your getting in the game. Keep in mind (If i am not mistaken), if you have 30fps in the game, the recording software will not record 60fps.

It would look better, if you compress those frames into 60, or 30, making it look like there's motion blur. But other than that, the only advantage is slowmotion.

Why not just record at 60 fps. At the resolution you want. Converting the video will degrade video quality and you may get compression artifacts.

Oddly enough, uploading higher-resolution videos to YT may make them look better despite being downsampled to FHD. That's not universally true, but helps with videos with loads of small detail, I.e. Video games with rich foliage. That's not an internet property of digital video, that's something Google did.

Yea he could just straight upload to youtube. Cause they do kinda convert it to webm. I know when I do video editing converting can cause artifacts. But it also depends on the quality of the codecs you use also.
