Question / Help FPS Settings Help

[djvfx]

Hello,

I'm trying to find settings on the new FPS settings for OBS Studio. The settings are not that clear to me as the original version of the software. Can someone explain what the FPS settings do (fractional, integer, common, etc)?

My goal is to record hours of work, such as sculpting, photoshop, tutorial, etc as a time lapse. I would like my image quality to be good but want to skip frames to speed up viewing. Videos will be recorded to local drive, then uploaded later.

I can time stretch it in another program if necessary but would like to get it as close as possible in OBS with existing settings. Then use video editor if needed after.

thanks

Integer is what the first OBS had... 1-60.. choose how much you want

Common is just FPS values that are common amongst games and are predetermined values

Fractional seems to allow you to create partial FPS.. for instance 59.5.. it would be so much easier if they did it by decimal if feasible. Anyway there is a Numerator value and a denominator value. They are Numerator: 30 and Denominator: 1 by default. This results in 30 FPS because 30/1 = 30. If you were to change the denominator to 2, it would be 15 FPS because 30/2 = 15.
