For streaming to twitch use x264 encoder, CBR, 3500, Keyframe Interval 2, cpu preset anywhere from fast to veryfast, prfile high,

video tab: base resolution 2560x1440, output resolution 1280x720, downscale filter lanczos, framerate 30

advanced tab: change color space to 709

If your not streaming to twitch then you will probably use different settings.

If you want you can use my tutorial for all settings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Xt5USbjbVE&t=1s

Streaming at 3500kbps on Twitch for non-partners can cause buffering for users on slower connections. Only stream at 3500kbps if you know that you have transcode available on your channel.

advanced tab: change color space to 709

What is the rationale for changing the color space?


@TheeClark
Are you recording, streaming, or both? If you're streaming, what streaming service are you going to use (Twitch, YouTube, etc.)? The recommendations are different depending on what you're doing.

There are several guides in the forums that go over settings, depending on your needs:

Color space 709 provides more colors, this is most noticeable in reds. Reds recorded in 601 look more orange, they are much better in 709.

not "better". You only see it right decoded or wrong decoded. To test all your equipment (for right adjustment) you may use OBS Studio: Color Space, Color Format, Color Range settings Guide. Test charts.

That article literally recommends that you use color space 709, read it.
