Thanks Stephen for this very helpful video on OBS! I pasted the logs URL into the OBS log analyzer & this is what it returned: *Wrong GPU.* Any recommendation on how to fix it. This is what the problem with my OBS recordings has been: I have one external monitor with the same resolution as the computer to which it is connected. My OBS recordings were fine. I never noticed any _lags or frozen frames._ But then I bought a second 4K UHD monitor & connected it to the same computer using a _USB-A to HDMI adapter._ Since then, my OBS recordings have had *frozen frames* in which the video turns into still images. Looking forward to your feedback! Thank you again!
@@danieldengL4R I've never encountered this problem before nor have I heard of it. However, it sounds similar to a problem I used to have. I'm sorry if I can't help much. I'm only speaking from experience and don't really know much but I will try my best to help you. The problem I used to have sounds very similar to yours, where I used the wrong GPU without my knowledge. Once I changed my encoder to the right GPU, it was still very laggy and a bunch of frozen frames until I ran OBS as an administrator and set it to High Performance in the Graphics Settings. I basically made sure OBS was running and using my GPU and I made sure OBS was using as much of my GPU as it needed. I hope this helps.
@@justluffy977 I only touched what was covered in the video, which was the video quality and the encoder settings, nothing else. I still have some choppiness to my video as can be seen in a video I just now uploaded. So I still need to fix that, but it’s much better than it once was!
DUDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, i would get no lag while recording but the video was so bad.. and when i put the framerate to 29.97 it got FIXED... you said if the video lags decrease the frame rate which i saw NO ONE ELSE SAYING... YOURE A TOTAL LIFESAVER YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH THIS MEANS TO ME... THANK YOU SO FRICKING MUCH DUDEEEEEE!!! NOW I CAN FINALLY RECORD MY VIDS WITH THE MOST POPULAR AND EASY TO USE SCREEN RECORDER!! :))))))
OMGGG? after watching like a hundred videos for 2 days on how to fix my problem, ive been blessed with this one!! the last solution seriously helped me out!!! TYSMM. 💞💞
0:26 a thing that u can do to make it run as administrator all the time without having to right click and do it yourself, is by going into the properties of obs studio by right clicking and clicking properties. Then you go into compatibility and tick the box that says Run this program as an administrator.
Thank you, that’s great info. To clarify, you right click the shortcut or .exe you use to launch OBS, those are the properties you’re looking for, it’s not a setting in OBS. I’m impulsive and skimmed the instructions of course, took me a couple minutes to realize what I was looking for ;) .
BRO WHAT THE h*ll. THE RESULTS ARE INSANE. the other videos gave me minimal results because they didn't explain each setting. when u explained it I was able to determine my own values thanks so much
HUGE THANKS DUDE my game was so choppy when obs was in background. fixed all the problems using log analyzer and now the recording and the game is flawless!
Look at that… I just found out my laptop is critically insufficient for streaming and MAYBE alright for recording 😭 well this just helped me save some time and money, thanks 🤣
It is reduce the lag on my video. Even though mine is still not 100% smooth, but I’ll try other options to make it perfect. Thank you so much! This helped me a lot
@@stephencgn I just did that step after your tutorial, kinda impressed with my recording being smooth but the log file wouldn't allow me to help because it said like the server is not connected, can you do the tutorial on that, I can't get help from log file
Hello StephenCGN, ive seen your way on the tips on recording and it does not work, it does help a little bit but im still getting 30-40 fps but i appreciate the content as it can help many people.
ty bro im a yt with 24k subs and my fans kept commenting my recording was so bad and laggy, I figured out the problem was me using CBR, when i switched to CRF it worked great! Also I do have a very bad pc, is there any other settings I can use to make my recording smoother than it is?
life saving video i had a hilarious video of me and my friends playing left 4 dead 2 glubtastic but it was so choppy and eventually it stayed at 1 frame for the rest of the video
maybe somebody can help me, i have an older mac. Bought this capture hdmi card 4k on amazon for like 40 bucks. I tried it but it shows me a black screen in my obs, it is threw a usb port. It goes from my ps4 to my capture card, to my monitor and my pc. The capture card works because the ps4 gets shows on my monitor but on my obs it shows a black screen. Does anyone know what the issue might be?
@@stephencgn didnt really help because it is specifically for ps4. Could i just buy an hdmi splitter with 2 outs, put my ps4 as the input and then output it to my mac and monitor. Then just screen capture on my mac with obs?
@@stephencgn yeah i tried that but it shows me a black screen, it shows up as an usb. The capture card works because i get my ps4 on my monitor, but on obs when i add the usb capture card to it its just a black screen
I don't really know much about that and I'm sorry. I wish I could help but sadly I haven't heard of anything like that before. I hope your problem gets fixed soon without any more costs.
Im still getting the problem where it's completely fine when recording smooth FPS, but once i look back at the footage it's super laggy like jittering. anyone else has that probleM?
I had that same problem when I first started! I made this video to help people like you who are having this problem too: ruclips.net/video/aMSweLr1Svs/видео.htmlsi=jl2ZzEQ-YHNLj5aK
@@stephencgn Hi, thank you so much for responding! I was not on my computer when I got this notification, so i decided to watch the video anyways and check the comments, one comment catched my eye and it was him explaining that it wasn't OBS' fault, rather the app he was using to rewatch his videos. That made me realise, one time when i recored as admin, I had to watch the video on the admin account so I logged in and used window's video player or whatever and it was smooth. But the account im using to record OBS was using media player, which was the reason why it lagged so much in the footage. Basically, turns out, everything was fine, it was just the app that replayed the video was laggy and made me stressed figuring out what I did wrong with OBS for it to suddenly break. So yeah, I found the problem, thanks for replying anyways because if it wasn't for that video, I would've never seen that comment.
please help me. I have used many clipping softwares so i can clip my gameplay since my geforce experience no longer runs. However no matter what software i use the clips look fine in the software when im viewing them but whenever i export it to youtube or google drive or even send it to my friends the clip quality dies and the clip looks so blurry
If you are using an encoder other than x264, like your video card, then use CQP. It is basically like CRF. If you still want to use CBR, set the bit rate to somewhere around 60,000 kbps to 20,000 kbps.

Thank You So Much Man
hi for the Encoder settings theres no CRF for me theres ONLY CBR,CQPVBR AND LOSSLESS thats all
select x264 instead of nvidia
If you are using an encoder other than x264, like your video card, use CQP. It is basically like CRF.
Thank you so much! Now I can watch my videos play back without stuttering!
Glad I could help!
All the stuffs which u have discussed here is for recording or streaming both?
Just for recording
this was helpful asf ! Thanks man
You're welcome ♥️
Thank you you're amazing! 🥰
ty bro im a yt with 24k subs and my fans kept commenting my recording was so bad and laggy, I figured out the problem was me using CBR, when i switched to CRF it worked great!

what output resolution should i use if my base res is 5120x2160?
Just 1080p
This is soooooo helpful
you can open another OBS while using the first one to record
Do you mean I download another OBS?
My obs is choppy when im looking at my video capture device, i have good internet but it's still choppy
Great vid but I don’t have some of these settings for some reason.. do I need to install something or is mine outdated ????
In the output settings you should find at the very top "Output Mode" set that to advanced.
hey i don't have the encoder setting when i use obs
is there something else i should do?
I dont have CRF option
Use CQP instead it's basically the same
please help me. I have used many clipping softwares so i can clip my gameplay since my geforce experience no longer runs.

everyone is saying x264 is very bad for recording
another sub and like for this amazing epic video

I need cbr I do not get the other 1
If you are using an encoder other than x264, like your video card, then use CQP. It is basically like CRF. If you still want to use CBR, set the bit rate to somewhere around 60,000 kbps to 20,000 kbps.
