    • @mechamania
      @mechamania 2 года назад

      Yeah, right? I could tell, a few seconds after my first try, Duck-Duck-Going “OBS for Mac Intro,” and things got worse, from there.
      I was very lucky, to have found this, as quickly as I did-on the same day I first started D-DigG’ing it-but that’s still _four or five hours of _*_not watching productive videos_*_ that I could’ve done, instead_ of watching videos by people who can’t articulate the overarching point of their works... from whom it might not be so great, from whom to learn about OBS, under the circumstances, I just realized, in retrospect...
      In any case, thanks much, @tech How ! You definitely have at least one more sub, and likely a good amount of others, coming -‘cause I’m _definitely_ gonna be telling students and colleagues *whose focus is on video production, specifically* (I teach mass comm (advanced) theory and research... ) about your channel...
      Cheers! 🍻

    For the settings in OBS, I would skip the past the Streaming and Recording part of this tutorial, because these settings are really not good at all. For instance, 3500kbps at 1080P (and he had 60fps selected) will be incredibly grainy for streaming and CBR is not what you want for recording. You'll fill up your hard drive really quickly if you use CBR at 20Mbps bitrate...
