@youtubetwiggyking Don't go lower than 15. Only do 15 through 20.. The lower the CQP number is, the better the video quality, but your files will be bigger.
I personally feel like not talking about AV1 encoding is criminal. It allows you to record at lower bitrates and retain the same quality as higher ones, and take up less space. This is def something you should look into.
Very helpful mate, I have a Q tho. in Encoder settings in preset, I have only 3 options (Quality, Balanced, Speed) idk why. Also I don't have (Tuning, multipass mode, look ahead, psycho visual tuning or GPU) settings in the same section...
@@CpawsMusic TYSM for replying so soon mate, well my obs says it is version 30 but on the website it is 31, can I update or I need to reinstall from scratch
@ I uninstalled it and reinstalled it from scratch, the newest version is now on, still the same. same options still missing... I have a AMD not Nvidia if this is worth mentioning, IDK what to do please help!
I'd recommend starting with experimenting with different bitrates to find a balance between quality and size. Then do regular cleanup / transfers to external drives if you want to keep the footage you don't use.
Do you lock your game fps to 60 when you're recording? Playing games at 60fps is terrible but if I let it run free then the obs recording is choppy regardless of settings. Nobody ever mentions this in tutorial videos but the only way my recordings are smooth is when I match the fps (game & recording).
❤❤great video ❤❤also another tip is that you don't really need to automatically remux to mp4 because davinci resolve can edit on mkv and when you export (deliver) you can change what type of file you want it to be as so you don't spend extra unecessary time remuxing
you should teach other ppl to use mp4 because if your output video starts stuttering the file would probably be the reason mp4 in my opinion is much better than mkv
i have this issue with my recording where the person im talking to their voice is delayed, does this mean i should get a ssd card so it wont be delayed ? need help urgently
When I record in window pc and open that record,it has my microphone sound.But when I send to my android phone,only destop audio and no microphone sound.What's wrong!
Thank you sir. Do you have a similar video with streaming settings? Is it better to use a graphics card or a processor for recording and streaming? RTX 4060 or Ryzen 8845 processor?
@@CpawsMusicyeah where you pick mkv, is there a reason you don't just choose fragmented mp4 so you still get an mp4, the protection from corruption similar to mkv, and not having to do that delete step? I was wondering if I missed a reason why

My encoder settings dont have the same preset options, tuning, or the checkboxes below profile, I think it could be the fact im using an AMD card but in case theres a different setting to enable those i thought id ask.
While HVEC (H.265) offers superior compression efficiency compared to H.264, it's not widely supported by streaming platforms like Twitch yet. Twitch primarily supports H.264, making it the more reliable choice for streaming.
Hi! I have a PC with a Ryzen 7 7700X, an RTX 4070 Super, and 32GB of RAM DDR5, but I'm having trouble finding the ideal configuration to optimize OBS for both recording and live. Can you recommend the best settings to get the best quality and fluidity?
Got a question for ya so in OBS settings under the video tab i set my base res to 2160 because that's what I game on but when i set my output to match and start recording my play back is laggy and have to turn it down to like 1728 any idea why ?
For recording with OBS Studio, H.265 is generally the better choice, especially if you prioritize file size and quality. Here's a breakdown: Codec: H.264: A widely supported codec, but less efficient in terms of file size. H.265: More efficient, offering smaller file sizes for the same quality or higher quality for the same file size. Preset: Quality: Prioritizes video quality over file size. Balanced: A good compromise between quality and file size. Recommendation: Use AMD H.265: This will provide better compression and smaller file sizes. Set the preset to Balanced: This is a good starting point for most recording scenarios. You can adjust it to Quality if you need higher quality or adjust the bitrate for smaller file sizes. However, keep in mind that H.265 files might not be as widely compatible with older video players or editing software. If compatibility is a major concern, you might want to stick with H.264.
This helps but its also didn't help in storage i record 43min video and its a huge file now my i am out of storage find the settings witch mentain quality and use lowet storage that will help
I copied your settings but everything began to lag, I ran a game of siege just to test and it was choppy, I thought I had a decent build… 3070ti Ryzen 7 9800x3d 32gb of ram Where am I lacking?
Little side note.. I don't know if you encounterer the same problem.. But for everyones own edification, if recording.. and you click the "Stop Recording" button.. If you have a low end computer.. Make sure you wait for the OBS to, "Stopping Recording" .. If you dont wait.. like say you close program, or hit stop button a second time... While "Stopping Recording" is still present... Say bye to the entire video.... 😡 I did a recording of a video, that was about an hour long... All went to computer hell ... All because I hit stop a second time, under the impression that it would stop recording, or my video was ok, and saved... No 🥺😭☹️😡😡😡😡😡😡😡🤬 What a fuked up moment for me Such shyt...
Nice video. But (sorry) may I suggest not zooming into your face while talking about the options? I think it would probably be a better learning experience if the viewer could see the options in full the entire time with maybe a red box or arrow (CURSOR EVEN) around the option you are talking about at the time. Yes, we hear what you are saying but zooming in takes away from the objective of the video which is familiarize yourself with the program and the options. Just constructive criticism. Good video otherwise.
@CpawsMusic i googled obs Download, went to their Website, pressed on Windows and downloaded. In that quality presents where u have p1-p7, i have lige Low medium and quality. Idk maybe u have the old Version🙁 in the Output recording settings when U scroll down there ja stuff Like psycho visual Tuning Missing. Is there maybe a setting that it Shows me that stuff?

*UPDATE*: I Misspoke in the video. A LOWER CQ LEVEL will be BETTER QUALITY than a Higher CQ Level.

Hi Cpaws, do you have any advice on recordings taking too much space? It's crazy how fast they fill my ssd!
I'd recommend starting with experimenting with different bitrates to find a balance between quality and size. Then do regular cleanup / transfers to external drives if you want to keep the footage you don't use.
Hey can you show for the new version for obs cuz i use 30.2.3 so Can You Bring A New video on that?

Drag your webcam source above all your other sources
what obs version are you using?

in advanced settings there is a colour range try between limited and full
hi great video i want to ask why can't i control the video after i recordet it on obs studio? control like fast-forward or rewind my video
You need a video player for that

Hey Cpaws I need help with my streaming setup it won’t let me stream because my kbps is too low and I have good Wi-Fi and a above average PC
Thanks if you see this :D
you should double check to see your speeds and see if they're up to speed with what they're advertising
What is good WiFi? If your kbps is too low my assumption is that your internet speeds aren’t good enough
This helps but its also didn't help in storage i record 43min video and its a huge file now my i am out of storage find the settings witch mentain quality and use lowet storage that will help
