Question / Help Stream is Pixelated when there is camera movement.

[mindocity]

I need help with my OBS, I've been trying to stream but everytime I move in my webcam or in game, my stream becomes all pixelated, but smooths out if I stand still. Please help!

There are 2 possible causes.

1. Bitrate- looking at your logs, your bitrate is set to 1500. It is inadequate for getting smooth picture whenever you move. Increase the bitrate to about 3000 and it should improve

2. X264 preset- faster presets tend to cause issues with pixellation whenever there is movement because the encoder can't estimate the motion as well as with slower presets and looking at your CPU, your computer should be able to handle lower presets.

Try the "fast" preset which, alongside with the bitrate increase, fix the pixellation issue

A warning, if you're streaming to twitch without partnership, 2000kbit video bitrate is about the upper practical limit. Going above it causes MASSIVE increases in viewer buffering rates.
