How to configure EVER

There are 2 different configuration files for EVER, one for general settings for EVER itself and one configuration file for the FFMPEG encoding (or Voukoder if you are using the old version).

EVER configuration

In the .ini file located in the EVER folder, you can find the following settings:

• enable_mod
• auto_reload_config
• output_folder
• log_level
• fps
• motion_blur_samples
• motion_blur_strength
• export_openexr
• disable_watermark

enable_mod

This settings determines if EVER is enabled or not. If you want to disable EVER, set this setting to false and the export will use the standard system in GTA V.

auto_reload_config

This setting determines if EVER should automatically reload the configuration before a new export is started. This is useful if you want to change the settings without having to restart EVER.

output_folder

This setting determines the folder where the exported files will be saved.

For example:

output_folder = C:\Users\Username\Documents\Exports

This will save the exported files in the Exports folder in your Documents folder.

log_level

This setting determines the level of logging that EVER will output. The available options are:

• debug
• info
• error
• warning
• trace

Leave the default value to error if you are not sure what to do.

fps

This setting determines the frame rate of the exported video. The default value is 30, which means that the exported video will have 30 frames per second.

There is no limitation to how high this value can be, but its recommended to not go over 120 FPS as this will increase the export time and size of the outputed video significantly.

motion_blur_samples

This setting determines the number of samples that will be used to create the motion blur effect. The default value is 0, which means that EVER will not create any motion blur effect.

A common value for this is 25, which will create a motion blur effect with 25 samples.

motion_blur_strength

This setting determines the strength of the motion blur effect. The default value is 0.5.

The value can be between 0.0 and 1.0.

export_openexr

This setting determines if EVER should export floating point R16G16B16 version of the frames in OpenEXR format.

This is only useful in professional image and video manipulation programs.

disable_watermark

This setting determines if the Rockstar Editor watermark should be removed or not.

The default value is false.
