Fuzzy Output on OBS

[FaithChurch]

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 with the appropriate cable and USB super speed; I attached a video of my OBS settings and what looks like the artifacts+blurry screen. We had this before I swapped the bitrate from 2.5k to 8-9k and changed all the settings to the 'intended' according to chatgpt's best settings, but perhaps I'm still missing something. Any help is appreciated!

Tried to attach video, but too large. just picture 144p or 280p video looking mess. Attached a picture to try to help.

And I did mess around with bitrate and the CPU usage preset and no big changes to the issue.

Does anyone have any idea of how to help? It's been multiple weeks and no replies!

Please post a log with your issue! Here's how...

OBS Studio creates a log file each time you run it which contains very useful diagnostic information. Without a log file, it's much harder for any support volunteers to figure out problems and your post may be ignored. To upload a log file, go to the Help menu > Log Files > Upload Last Log...

And YouTube recommends 12,000 Bitrate for 1080 60 FPS. This is clearly posted on their site. Don't rely on ChatGPT.

Lol. ChatGpt can definitely lead you astray sometimes. Thanks for the tip!

But even so, the problem originates before it even goes to YouTube. I'll have to figure out how to post the log and then hopefully we can finally get it sorted!
