User blog:Sgt D Grif/Screenshot Advice

Hello, I'm Sgt D Grif, and I figured I'd give a quick little tip about screenshots. Most of Rooster Teeth's productions (including Red vs Blue and the RWBY trailers) are posted in 720p. This means that the best quality image for a full scene is at 1280 by 720 pixels. If your monitor runs at a higher resolution (1920 by 1080 for example) and you run the video on full screen, although you will get a 1920 by 1080 screenshot, the image is simply stretched to fit that size and does not gain any quality. Images smaller than 1280 by 720 (running 720p inside the smaller YouTube player for example) or not loading the video in HD (240p, 360p, 480p are not HD) will suffer a loss of quality.
