We're excited to share a major project our video engineering team has just completed: delivering noticeably higher video quality for every creator.

As a result, here's what you'll experience:

• Clearer details and text that remain sharp even in lower lighting
• Smoother motion with significantly less stuttering during dynamic scenes
• Better color accuracy that makes your content more vibrant and engaging

To accomplish this, the team combined scientific tools with real-world testing:

• Adopted VMAF to measure video quality, the same professional-grade measurement standard Netflix first implemented to perfect their streaming stack.
• Comprehensive real-world testing. Bright podcast studios, dimly lit environments, highly dynamic crowded scenes, and everything in between.
• A/B testing with real viewers. Testing was important to confirm our improvements had visually noticeable impact on StreamYard’s output.

This scientific approach also establishes a rigorous framework for future video enhancements, paving the way to support even higher specs. To learn more about our process, check out our technical document at this link.

📍The new pipeline is already live for everyone using StreamYard: no changes needed on your part. Experience professional-looking streams starting with your very next broadcast.
