Hello Guys !
How can I choose the downscale filter in OBS 29 when using the same Base and Output resolution in the Video tab ?
please, do not just say "there are no filter applied", and bear with me .. :)
I am asking this because I want to record in 1080p 60 FPS , and stream to Twitch at 720p 60 FPS
Until now, I have streamed to Twitch to 1080p60fps but after some research it seems the 6000 bitrate would not be sufficient and would cause some issues, therefore I want to downscale the stream to 720p60fps, but still record and use the replay buffer at 1080p60fps
Basically, I want to make sure to use bicubic downscale filter, while downscale the stream output only.
Here are a couple other forum threads that led me to this conclusion, in case this may help:

- https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/which-downscale-filter-to-use.125517/
My spec:
OBS 29.1.3 64 bit for Apple Silicon
Mac Mini M2 Pro
Mac OS 14.0 Sonoma
so I have this in settings :
• VIDEO TAB
• OUTPUT TAB
STREAMING
So my stream is indeed going in 720p and my recordings are in 1080p , but I could not find how to select which downscale filter to apply to my streaming output...
Hope someone can help !
Thanks in advance !
