MacBook Pro Low FPS While Streaming and Recording

I have been live streaming and recording live video using OBS Studio. While streaming and recording, I notice my fps on the bottom right seems to fluctuate from 15-28 while CPU usage usually maxes out at around 20%. Is there any way to fix this? I have tried reducing the video to 1280x720 but no luck.

Not sure if this is appropriate to your use case, but I've found that using the Studio Mode (the preview window next to the program window) absolutely kills my render time and my framerate... streaming at 1080p30fps.

SO I turned Studio Mode off...can't see preview, but I have all my scenes built for my service in a linear fashion so I just cursor one to the other. An alternative that does NOT murder framerates is Multiview.....it shows you 8 or 24 scenes and lets you click the one you want to show.

That is very interesting! I will definitely test that out to see if that is the case!

It totally worked! I went from 18-22 FPS to a constant 60! Thank you for your help!

So glad to hear it! It took me awhile to figure that out...a lot of processing is used for that darned studio mode.
