So I am trying to record some Oculus Quest 2 footage for mine and my sons YouTube channel and I am having some issues. I have update V43 installed and I have the 256gb system. I go to “system” then to “camera” and turn the image stabilization to “medium” and then “Landscape 1920x1080” and the “fps to 36” I believe it is. In the headset it’s fine but when I watch it back on my computer I notice that whenever I turn my head you can see black bars come in on the left and right. I have been searching for answers for hours. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
Hey hey! So those bars on the side when you turn your head might just be because of how that feature currently works. Stabilization can decrease field of view, so turning your head quickly can cause black bars on the side to compensate for that.
That being said, v44 is starting to roll out, and it has some new advanced camera settings just for stuff like this! While the stabilization feature is really awesome there, it can still decrease field of view and cause something similar to what you've explained. If you don't want to have any issues with the field of view, your best bet is going to be to either turn off or decrease the stabilization to minimize it from happening.
Best of luck, and happy gaming! Maybe I'll see your videos sometime!
I've been creating VR content since right after the quest 2 dropped. The Q2 offered little(if ANY) to no stabilization and this black bar issue has existed since then. I even tested it on my Q3 with stabilization off cuz I assumed maybe it was because of the stabilization settings. It did the same thing. This is 1000% not a stabilization issue. I'm still not sure what it is but my assumption is that Facebook's recording software is buns and they either don't care enough to fix the issue or they haven't figured out how yet.
