question / help

Hello, I have an ongoing issue where occasionally, unpredictably, in many games, a game I'm playing will freeze and any recording I'm making will miss frames due to rendering/encoding lag, accompanied by an encoding overload message. I do not miss frames basically ever aside from that and...

I recently tried recording with game capture and window capture but realized any game I tried recording on my C: drive SSD would just get stuck on the frame it was on when I load it on the capture. The sound would get caught but the frame was frozen. This doesn't happen with games installed on...

Hi all! OBS has been super helpful for our church. An issue I have run into is a fuzzy picture (both on the OBS window) and then downloading it for later use. We stream to YT, and downloading there (though probably obvious) is also the same bad quality. We're using a camera that supports 1080p...

Hi, this is a very specific need. I need obs to display the preview to see 2 video captures at the same time, this preview is set at 60 FPS, I would like to stream in SRT at a lower framerate 20 FPS ~ as is not necessary higher framerates and to save CPU resources. But I don't see in windows...

Hello! As the title says, I'd like to have the window my game capture uses change automatically to whatever window I have in the foreground without having to press my hotkey every time.

As the title says, I'm getting a lower quality (I think) with the settings I have, compared to other streams that use the same resolution and the same bitrate. I don't stream, but I'm testing I hope you can help me with this problem, whether it's configuration or some other trick PC: CPU...

I'm unable to run OBS for any period of time longer than about 1-2min outside of safe mode. I believe the culprit to be SE Live as when it is disabled I have no issues. I have the last log file but only critical issue was the video file output for recordings. Running as administrator also does...

Hello, I have been using OBS for my video recording for the past couple of years, but I want to update those settings a little bit. After looking through a couple of YT videos about the OBS settings, they all suggested using Nvidia. The problem with that is that my Windows 10 laptop uses both...

So I want to start a new Let's Play Youtube Channel and I was wondering if I record in 1080p60 and render in 4K60 will the video quality decrease? I read on other forums too that if I record in 1080p and upload in 4K the video will look bad, but I also saw that people say it's a good think to...

I am currently trying to record with three audio tracks: a mic, a video capture device (capture card), and Discord audio. When listening back to a recording, there is a slight ringing in all of them. This is not too bad on their own, but when combining all three together, it sounds quite bad. In...

Hello everyone !! For the past few weeks, for all the scenes i have recorded through OBS, i was unable to scrub the video by any means. The playhead on the video progress bar cannot be clicked and dragged or selected, and the same applies for the minus 10 second and plus 30 second arrows on the...
