Question / Help Cant open Mov recording in Premiere Pro

[Esenfur]

So, I plan to record my games in OBS and cut in premiere pro for youtube. I used plays, but its terrible for VR Games.
Im looking to achieve 1920x1080 @ 60 fps.

First off- heres my currrent settings
2nd- Spec: i7 3770k, 1070 GTX Gpu, 16GB of Ram.


I made a file earlier and it just crashes premier pro.. so idk if i got the wrong settings here or there. but any tips on Recording and cutting with this software & obs are greatly appreciated!

Why are you recording to .mov directly? You should record to flv or mkv, and then remux after if your video editing program does not understand video files.

Also MP4 files will do better for you in PPro then.mov files and their codec soup.

So MP4 or MKV? How are my recording settings?

I'd recommend CQP over VBR for local recordings. Also, you're still using the Media Foundation NVENC, which is not that great. Try changing the encoder to Hardware (NVENC).

And no, you don't want to record directly to MP4. Record to FLV or MKV and use the remux feature (file -> remux recording) after you're done. It doesn't take very long, just a few clicks. MP4 can be really fragile, and if anything interrupts the process and it doesn't finalize, the recording will be lost forever.

Good Spot! Thanks! Stick with "23", Keyframe 0, High Qual, Profile Main, Level 0, Untick 2 pass, GPU 0, B Frames 2?

I found this with plays tv- lots of issues when trying to edit those recordings.

Thanks for this!

For NVENC, you usually want to set the Keyframe Interval manually. I find 4 or 8 do a good job. Setting it to Auto (i.e. "0") usually results in files that don't work.
