Not Recording at Specified Framerate

I have a MacBook Air M1 and I am trying to record at 60fps, 2560x1600 res (native resolution), 24mbps bitrate (suggested by google for uploading to youtube). My guess is all of that is too much for my mac to handle but my game itself doesn't seem to be running slower (minecraft) I am still getting well above 60 frames, but the recording comes out to like 1 frame a second. Anyone know why the recording is so slow?

Make sure the storage is fast enough.

Look at the Stats Dock and make a screenshot of it while you're recording. Besides the game and OBS, what other applications are you running while recording? The encoder you're using and the color format (Video settings) will affect your performance.

Use Application Monitor CPU History and GPU History graphs to see if anything jumps out at you
