What I do:
1. Open Settings on OBS Studio 0.16.2
2. Click Output
3. Click Recording Tab
4. Switch Encoder to H264 Encoder (AMD Advanced Media Framework)
5. Configure all settings within the grey box to my needs.
6. Click Apply.
7. Click OK.
8. Reopen Settings.
9. Click Output.
10. Click Recording Tab
11. All settings within the grey box are back to what they were the first time (what I assume are defaults).
To clarify, the settings above that, i.e. audio track, recording path, recording format, etc etc are the same, but everything within the grey box is back to defaults.
However, it seems OBS still uses the settings I set, so it's not a critical issue. Just a Quality of Life issue.
Note: If I set the encoder as x264 and configure the settings within the grey box then hit apply and re-enter the menu, those stay as you would expect. It's just H264 AMD's Advanced Media Framework encoder that does this.
Edit:
Xaymar, the developer for the AMD Advanced Media Framework plugin for OBS Studio, helped me fix this on that plugin's github issue page.
I would switch the Preset to Recording to get a template of what to use then customize beyond that, but leave the Preset at Recording because I guess I expected it to prioritize manually changed settings regardless of preset.
Switching the preset back to blank after customizing keeps the settings after hitting apply and re-entering the menu.
