Screentogif: v2 Encoder Green Screen on Twitter

v2 Encoding

v1 Encoding

Is that a browser problem or an encoding problem?

Encoding. The V2 is guessing the wrong color when picking the color that will be treated as transparent. This happens when that color is present in a bunch of pixels on the source frame (It's probably the color whell at the bottom left corner).

Here's where you can change that color to something like magenta:

I will try that and report back, thanks 🙏!

[spottedmahn]

Still no luck...

[NickeManarin]

Oh. :/
Can you share the project with me?

[spottedmahn]

Sure 😊

I was analyzing the recording. There's something strange happening.
Frame # 349 has a different dpi than frame 350.

I think that it's caused by the "Show mouse clicks" option that was turned on. I'll fix this issue.

Anyway, I was going to propose to hide the color wheel with some other color, like black or white. But then I found out the other bug above.

Didn't know about that! Sounds like a cool 😎 feature!

Thanks for debugging it! 🥇

BTW, the DPI change must have something to do w/ my setup.

I have 3 monitors. 2 are ~22" 1080p. The other one is my 15" laptop monitor.

I was probably trying to record the full screen. Maybe from monitor 3:

The stop icon in ScreenToGif was probably in monitor 1.

Hi @NickeManarin - FYI, I'm still seeing this problem w/ v2 encoder 😢

How can I help get this fixed? Thanks!

[ParticleCore]

To get around this problem use a dummy color that is not present in the original video, otherwise the engine will get confused and mix the dummy color and the same color from the video which leads to the corrupted result.

If you cannot by any means use any color, for example the original post contains a color wheel, disable the use of the dummy color all together, but this will result in a file with a bigger size.

[NickeManarin]

@spottedmahn Oh, I totally forgot about this issue. I'm sorry, I can't keep up.

As explained by @ParticleCore, it's the same idea as before, try hiding any color that is marked as the chroma key.

[spottedmahn]

If you cannot by any means use any color, for example the original post contains a color wheel, disable the use of the dummy color altogether, but this will result in a file with a bigger size.

I see, thanks @ParticleCore 👍
