How to create smooth videos of destruction!

Ever wanted to create awesome videos of your rampages? Have you noticed that when you do, the video is simply unwatchable because of your FPS? In this guide I will teach you how to create smooth videos that look like they were shot with 60 FPS!

Downloading FFMPEG

Head over to https://ffmpeg.org/ and download. If you are on windows, here is a direct link to the windows downloads: https://www.gyan.dev/ffmpeg/builds/ffmpeg-release-full.7z

Next, extract the package.

Recording your video

Next, record your video in Teardown using whatever video recording software you prefer. I used OBS. After the video is recorded, you should cut out whatever sections you don't want in the final video.

Cut out repeated frames using FFMPEG

Open Command Prompt and navigate to the folder where your video is stored with

cd (path to folder)

Next, input this command with the video name and the name of the output video:

ffmpeg -i INPUT.mp4 -vf mpdecimate,setpts=N/FRAME_RATE/TB OUTPUT.mp4

FFMPEG will now loop through the video deleting excess frames.

That's it!

That's pretty much it. It's pretty easy but can be used to create some awesome videos! Make sure to share your cool videos in the comments!

Here's a video I made! Hopefully it will inspire you.

'ffmpeg' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Nice tool, any advice on syncing sound with the now shorter audio ?
Only solution I found is to tediously try and speed up the sound whilst conserving the pitch in places where the video as had frames removed and I cant get it to work most of the time anyway.
