Hi there, I'm trying to record using my iPhone as video through Reincubate Camo Studio, and want to be able to react to/play YouTube videos. My audio sounds great in the recording but the video is atrocious and so incredibly laggy through OBS. Settings are already really low (resolution - base and scaled - are 1280x720, fps is 30), I've read dozens of posts about downgrading for CPU (I'm getting the "encoding overloaded" warning message); video encoder is set for x264 and using 18-26% CPU. iMac is older (late 2015) with Intel Core i5 and SSD. Not sure what else to do to improve overall performance. Any ideas for me?
