    Hello. I have been having some problems with the replay mod. I installed it today and edited a video. In the replay viewer, everything looks fine and how I want it to be. But when I export the camera path, most of the mp4 file is glitchy and has weird color artifacts all over the place, making it basically unwatchable. I have tried exporting it a few times, but the same issue happens every time. Below I have a screenshot of my exporting settings, and a screenshot of what part of the video looks like. The weird thing is that the last few seconds of the video are totally fine. I don't know what's happening, if you know how to fix this then please let me know. Thanks!

    EDIT: I uploaded the video to Youtube, and the color glitches aren't there, but the video is extremely fuzzy in some places even though I exported it at high quality from the replay mod... can someone tell me what's going on? Do I need to manually put in a higher bitrate? Why is it not showing the color artifacts on Youtube?

    The video has plenty bitrate. That might actually be the problem. 1808 mbps is way too much. A more realistic bitrate would be around 12 Mbps according to YouTube. A high bitrate can cause several problems:

    1. Because the bitrate is high, the amount of data that has to be read in a second is large as well. This means that if your hard drive isn't fast enough you are going to have a hard time.
    2. Clearly, YouTube can't serve files that are this large. Storing them and broadcasting them is a real challenge. If the file you upload is too large, YouTube is going to transcode it. This transcoding can be quite poor sometimes, like in this case. You are better off choosing a lower bitrate.

    Hope this will help.
