PowerPoint text Blurry in OBS when shrinking output size.

[Adamnin1968]

I am trying to use powerpoint in OBS using the windows capture function. When I try to shrink the size of the window, my text becomes blurry. Does anyone have any suggestions or is this not possible?

On an older version of OBS Studio (4 years ago), my solution was to changed from the default transform (Bi-cubic?) to one of the others that is slightly more CPU intensive, but better quality for text (sorry not at locaiton with my OBS PC so can't look it up

I could easily be remembering wrong, I think I went with
- “Bicubic (Sharpening scaling)” for the “Downscale Filter”

also, not sure if still true, mentioning just in case

rescaling in the encoder in settings->output->streaming->rescale output. Disable this. This runs in CPU space and is a bottleneck. Instead just set your output resolution in settings->video->output resolution. This rescaling takes place on the GPU and uses next to none resources, since the GPU is specialized on that kind of operation.
