I'd like to put an addendum on your 'how to fix bad footage' segment. There's also a 4th option which I've found to be exclusive to 2 PC/capture card setups that is none of 1) dropped frames 2) lagged frames or 3) skipped frames. Your OBS recording/stream looks perfect in the stats window but you watch it back and the footage itself has frames missing for seemingly no reason. This is something you CAN'T fix in OBS. Something between the capture card and encoder (CPU or GPU) is going wrong. (This could be a hardware issue RAM/Memory, your motherboard or CPU going wrong in some way or another), OR(this is overlooked!!) Your main PC is pushing too much data through its GPU and purely the HDMI in to the capture card is dropping frames. And it is almost impossible to tell which without testing them individually. In my case it was both! Because shortly after solving the problem OBS suddenly started again, could no longer boot with xmp enabled and it actually looked like one of my ssd's were failing prematurely... As such I pieced together another capture PC, same drives, same GPU, same capture cards, problem solvered. This was a long, slow fix. Nothing beginner about it. But driving 2 displays (2560x1440 144hz + 1080p 144hz), a PCVR headset and a HDMI out to the capture card was too much, and even though the main monitor had no dropped frames, the 4th output added to the mix was the issue. And so I absolutely HAD to use passthrough to fix the issue. Even though it's horrible because I don't want to have to have both on at once just to use my main screen :/ passthrough requires the capture PC to be on. Good vid brother. I have to say that yours and nutty's vids really keep me grounded and seeing things how 'everyone else' does who maybe aren't as experienced. Here I am with 2 PC's, multiple mics, audio networking to split every sound source for recording on either PC, 2 capture cards, 5 dedicated video sources setup that can switch at a moment's notice... And if anyone asks... it's too complicated to explain >____
id say this is great except for the split video thing if you record at that high , it adds extra steps and puts an un necessary load on your hardware recording. everything else is great . no so sure about the step you use for the separate webcam response. wouldn't it be smarter to set a smaller camera window making data less and smaller footprint?
@@MR_DOME The increased data is minscule compared to the increased quality you'll get when editing. The ability to cut to just game, just cam, or both of any size is invaluable, I didn't say it was mandatory though, and showed how to do it without doing it, and explained it takes more resources. The issue is every way to split sources is going to increase your load, mines just the one without plugins, external tools, extra programs, gives highest quality, and takes 5 minutes to setup.
Pro Tip: Save this video so when you build a new pc and completely forget how obs settings work you can do it again. Helped me set up my obs twice now. Thanks dude!
@@badjuicefishsome people prefer to reinstall Windows when changing/adding parts, hence they need to reconfigure everything, although it's just easier to save the configuration folder on a usb stick or whatever and then copy/paste it when you reinstall it.
Mate. I'm working on my first partnership video where they want me to submit seperate audio lines, minimum resolutions and all kinds of things as part of the deliverables, rather than the single mashed together audio on a 1080 - 30fps video recording. This was exactly what I needed right when I needed it, thank you so much! Your guides were a huge part of helping me to where I am and once again you deliver in my time of need 👑hope you're keeping well king!
Dude I have been so stressed out starting a new youtube channel because it is so intimidating and time-consuming just to figure out how to even START!!! This video just made this about 1,000,000x easier for me so I am very very grateful. Please never stop doing what you do!
thank you so much! as someone who has never even used a pc I've had a lot of struggle trying to figure everything out and this was the perfect video I've been needing! honestly cant thank you enough!
Fun fact: There’s a tick box open within the general settings tab of OBS which’ll allow you to automatically remux MKV recordings to MP4 when recordings finish/stop - you just the box and apply it.
One thing I want to add is to change the anchor points in your two layers in premiere pro. Change the cam/game anchor point to 960/2880 (depends which is on the left and which is on the right) . So that way if you add any motion movement it actually follows the new cropped resolution rather than the old resolution.
Yo, Australian to Australian I want to thank you for this video. Now recording through OBS has fixed so many sync recording issues with Elgato recordings I can actually make videos and no waste hours fixing Elgato problems.
The part where you explain the wide recording is genius!! I was wondering how I was gonna be able to edit my webcam separate from the game (and all the audio separate as well). Thank you!!
Bro, I've been having so much trouble with this OBS and never knew how it worked. Until I saw this video. Seriously this helped me alot. Thank you. You just earned a sub!
Another way to record the webcam seperate is the same as you mentioned but instead of doubling the window and bitrate you simply right click on the OBS icon and open a second window. You then can have gameplay on one instance of OBS and webcam on the other. If you use a hotkey to start and stop OBS then both will operate at the same time. I find this is much easier for editing as both files are seperate. However I do recommend having an audio track on your webcam recording as a guide so you can line things up if they get messy. Also having a snap or pop at the start like they do in the movies helps too.
Wow these 16 mins explain everything clearly opposed to the hours wasted of "set bitrate to such an such". I was looking for why my game play is blurry when recorded an played back. U answered everything and even taught me a bunch! Most informative video I've ever seen good work! Any issues I'll let ya know! Can't wait to try these settings later
Had to come back an say(although I haven't posted proof yet) my trial videos I did after rewatching this video have come back much cleaner an enjoyable to watch. I suppose the real test will be uploading to RUclips an see the comparison between one I did before and now with this new info I applied. This video is a gem for anyone struggling
you've gained a sub you beautiful human being. thank you for the in depth guide, and it cleared up a lot of the questions I had. when I uploaded my first playthrough episode for BG3 I noticed it was kind of pixelated and lower quality than normal 1080p, especially in darker areas. Now I should be recording in near-perfect HDR and higher bit rate
thank you so much for this super quick adhd friendly rundown because i'd literally just set my obs settings w one of those videos you talked about before i found your vid with EXPLANATIONS and it was actually so easy to get through. also that good doctor part was funny af 😂😂
Thankyou for an excellent tutorial, not only what to do but why it's being done. Just started using obs and after watching this I already feel like I know what I'm doing ! Subscribed to this channel right away !
Thank you so much! This tutorial helped boost my quality significantly. I rarely comment on videos however, I owe my gratitude to you because I finally have some decent quality. You've earned a sub! :)
Grateful to have found you! Probably the best OBS tutotrial video I have come across! Bonus - you're a fellow Aussie 🙌 Thanks so much for your content - I have subscribed cos I know I will definitely be needing help again soon 😅👍
Thanks so much for this video! It hit a near perfect sweet spot (95% +) of teaching me what I wanted to know and had a hard time finding. I used this video to record the "intro" to the videos I want to make. (the first minute of sound as a game starts up with dramatic music.) The only critique I have is to slow down about 10% when you are flashing thru the OBS menus. ;) Off to watch the sound video you have linked in the description. Thanks again!
If quality is what you're after you certainly don't want to upload any video to youtube with a resolution below 1440p. RUclips uses 2 different types of compression for videos, avc1 for videos uploaded at 1080p or lower, and vp09 for everything above 1080p. vp09 is vastly superior to avc1 in terms of quality so you'll want to upload your content at 1440p or greater whenever possible. If you are recording gameplay footage on a 1080p monitor you can set your game to fullscreen mode in the game options then set the game resolution to 2560x1440 and your monitor will take care of the scaling so that it will still fit your 1080p monitor. Then you just change your recording resolution to 2560x1440 in OBS and you are good to go. It's important that you have OBS actually recording at 2560x1440 rather than upscaling a 1080p recording. The upscaled output will look like garbage.
1) Thanks for the tutorial; legit very informative and great for setting things up. 2) Friendly critique: slow down. Yeah replay and changing video speed exists, but main thing for a tutorial outside of info is that it's easy to follow.
thank you so much for taking the time to make this video, im new to using stuff like this and this has helped immensely. very easy to follow throughout the entire video. thanks!
You finally explained to me the importance to the audio track numbers in OBS. This actually save a lot of production time when recording. Like what if I want to edit out something I said over the mic, right? Presto, I didn't make that old 9111 joke. 😁😁😎😎
ive been watching you for a while but realized I wasn't subbed. you have been such an amazing help in fixing my obs settings. i had stuttering and lag spikes for the longest time and I watched like 10 "tutorials" on how to fix it but none of them did until this video. So thank you so much! I appreciate you and your content
I only got confused by 4 times thank you. I recently got a pc and wanted to record COD and this video was very helpful I was confused at Gaines but I got it so thank you very much
3:55 I'd recommend to use the remuxing feature in the advanced settings, so you have the mkv file if anything happens and the mp4 file for Premiere Pro for example, since premiere pro has problems with importing mkv files.
I absolutely love content like this! It has been incredibly helpful to my use and understanding of OBS. Total game changer! Sincerely appreciate your valuable information and assistance!
'This is really important, because only freaks and sicko's use horizontal levels' 😁😁😊😊 Ive just downloaded OBS for the first time and I am finding this tutorial immensely helpful, thanks for sharing 5⭐'s
This was extremely helpful. I guess i'm a sicko because I didn't know to change the audio to vertical. but I will now. lol This also helped me know how to split audio, that's awesome. didn't know I could do that.
Very useful video. Thanks a bunch. Started recording videos of playing video games with my son for DadsMustPlay channel and ended up with garbage quality. This video got me on the right track, haha.
Hi! Firstly, I want to thank you for these videos. I'm just starting out as a streamer and youtuber and all of your advice has been extremely useful! I just downloaded this program and it works GREAT when you're recording PC games. I tested everything out, put it into premiere to see all my tracks, and all was good! I was curious, however, if you had any knowledge or tips on using this same program to record Game Capture Cards from a console such as a Switch or PS4. I tried doing it today for my stream, but when I went to sonar, I saw absolutely no option for it. My viewers could hear me and could see the game, but they couldn't get any audio from the game itself. When I capture the game card, it pops up in OBS as a USB device. I tried checking for it over in sonar, but nothing was showing itself as my capture card. Thanks again!
I’ve been using the webcam trick for YEARS! I remember the original video I found the trick out on was someone showing how markiplier recorded his videos and I instantly knew that’s what I needed to do to up my video game
I’m subscribing, although I haven’t started recording yet, I will soon and do some tests. I appreciate you putting this info out, hopefully it’ll help a noob like me!
Thank u sm for going into detail!! It really helps when I know what each setting does. I do have a question tho hopefully you can answer or anyone else that knows. I’ve got my gaming and microphone audio set up but how do I capture friends audios if we’re all on a discord call?
I had to subscribe. I also play Destiny 2, so if these setting work for you then they should work for me, so thank you for this video. My PC is older though. I have a 10850k with a 3090. Monitor is a 3840x1600. Should this be my base canvas or should I still be streaming in 1080p? I hope to get my settings right one day.
To record both game and webcam separately I find that the vertical aitum plugin is a good option, you just need to set the resolution in it and boom. Also a good option if you want to record the gameplay without all the stream overlays while keeping them on stream
5:47 learned this the hard way the other day… i was using the most pro gamer moves on battlefield the other day for a montage. Just to watch the clip back and see it looked like a potato lol
I also have an AMD card. What you need to do is select the .264 and basically follow everything else. I had a problem with the audio on recordings but you just need to turn on the game capture audio.
I know its not a perfect breakdown, hard to get it perfect for beginners while giving options for people to try go futher! Just hope it gives everyone a starting point to get great footage!

The only critique I have is to slow down about 10% when you are flashing thru the OBS menus. ;) Off to watch the sound video you have linked in the description. Thanks again!
That dual source recording was so clutch! Thank you for this video!
If quality is what you're after you certainly don't want to upload any video to youtube with a resolution below 1440p. RUclips uses 2 different types of compression for videos, avc1 for videos uploaded at 1080p or lower, and vp09 for everything above 1080p. vp09 is vastly superior to avc1 in terms of quality so you'll want to upload your content at 1440p or greater whenever possible. If you are recording gameplay footage on a 1080p monitor you can set your game to fullscreen mode in the game options then set the game resolution to 2560x1440 and your monitor will take care of the scaling so that it will still fit your 1080p monitor. Then you just change your recording resolution to 2560x1440 in OBS and you are good to go. It's important that you have OBS actually recording at 2560x1440 rather than upscaling a 1080p recording. The upscaled output will look like garbage.
Thanks for the tips. After watching your video, I was able to do my first few recordings. Very helpful.
Finally I found my god damn problem. I was selecting "game capture" instead of "window" on the source, and OBS wasn't recognizing my game. Thank you!
Great video, very informative. Helped me not only with the settings, but to tailor them towards my specific setup too!
Thank you for putting up the graphics associated with things like "chips" it helps us understand what you are saying. Thank you !
1) Thanks for the tutorial; legit very informative and great for setting things up. 2) Friendly critique: slow down. Yeah replay and changing video speed exists, but main thing for a tutorial outside of info is that it's easy to follow.
You’d be surprised, I talk this speed because when I slowed down nobody watched.

3:55 I'd recommend to use the remuxing feature in the advanced settings, so you have the mkv file if anything happens and the mp4 file for Premiere Pro for example, since premiere pro has problems with importing mkv files.

Thank you so much I really needed the help to start my channel 😊
This was extremely helpful. I guess i'm a sicko because I didn't know to change the audio to vertical. but I will now. lol This also helped me know how to split audio, that's awesome. didn't know I could do that.
THIS WAS EXTREMELY HELPFUL!!!!
Very useful video. Thanks a bunch. Started recording videos of playing video games with my son for DadsMustPlay channel and ended up with garbage quality. This video got me on the right track, haha.
Hi! Firstly, I want to thank you for these videos. I'm just starting out as a streamer and youtuber and all of your advice has been extremely useful! I just downloaded this program and it works GREAT when you're recording PC games. I tested everything out, put it into premiere to see all my tracks, and all was good!
I was curious, however, if you had any knowledge or tips on using this same program to record Game Capture Cards from a console such as a Switch or PS4. I tried doing it today for my stream, but when I went to sonar, I saw absolutely no option for it. My viewers could hear me and could see the game, but they couldn't get any audio from the game itself. When I capture the game card, it pops up in OBS as a USB device. I tried checking for it over in sonar, but nothing was showing itself as my capture card.
Thanks again!
I’ve been using the webcam trick for YEARS! I remember the original video I found the trick out on was someone showing how markiplier recorded his videos and I instantly knew that’s what I needed to do to up my video game
I’m subscribing, although I haven’t started recording yet, I will soon and do some tests. I appreciate you putting this info out, hopefully it’ll help a noob like me!
Super super helpful as always- thanks man!
AMAZING VIDEO! Thank you so much for making this, it helped me out a ton!
Thank u sm for going into detail!! It really helps when I know what each setting does. I do have a question tho hopefully you can answer or anyone else that knows. I’ve got my gaming and microphone audio set up but how do I capture friends audios if we’re all on a discord call?
I had to subscribe. I also play Destiny 2, so if these setting work for you then they should work for me, so thank you for this video. My PC is older though. I have a 10850k with a 3090. Monitor is a 3840x1600. Should this be my base canvas or should I still be streaming in 1080p? I hope to get my settings right one day.
Bro Shoutout to you. This Video helped me setup my OBS so I can start recording Content.
Thank you for this!! As always you’ve come in clutch!
Thank you for the tutorial. It has helped me with starting my channel! Cheers 😀
To record both game and webcam separately I find that the vertical aitum plugin is a good option, you just need to set the resolution in it and boom. Also a good option if you want to record the gameplay without all the stream overlays while keeping them on stream
The Source Record plugin is also rad for these use cases
Tremendously helpful, thank you so much.
Love the video. Thanks man! @StreamScheme, The only question I have are you using a single PC to record and play? Are you using 2 monitors? Thanks!
best video regarding OBS, ever
5:47 learned this the hard way the other day… i was using the most pro gamer moves on battlefield the other day for a montage. Just to watch the clip back and see it looked like a potato lol
Super helpful, thanks man!
thank you so much! this was a great video to start obs with. you did more then great
Hey Bro Thank you so much for this video. Helped me alot soon going to record my first video. :))
Very helpful thank you!! What settings would you guys recommend using with my dedicated recording pc. RTX 2070 24gb ram and Ryzen 5 1600AF
This is outstandingly helpful. Top tier content, process, production. A+++++
What if you have an AMD card?
Yeah tell me please
I also have an AMD card. What you need to do is select the .264 and basically follow everything else. I had a problem with the audio on recordings but you just need to turn on the game capture audio.
use AMD HW H.264 (AVC)
Would totally love to see guide/advice on streaming settings. =D
