I need some pro advice videos ect please man
One Eye Gamer I am running a Sony alpha a6400 into an Elgato Cam link 4K without any issues. I am running 1080 into it and have my video source in OBS set to use defaults/camera settings etc. 4K didn’t lag either but was too “fluid” for my taste. I did have issues until I changed motherboards from ASUS to Gigabyte. My USB had issues. My buddies had same issue until he switched same brands also, so wierd. On that note though I’d check and make sure chipset and usb drivers are installed from manufacture and updated. Make sure the cam link is in its own usb 3.0 port and not a hub. Also can try having only the cam link on that root meaning nothing else plugged above or below it should be sufficient. The cam link is power hungry so possibly a powered 3.0 hub may actually help your case? I can get you more detailed settings if you’d like of my setup. I am running a 1080ti 11GB water cooled video card with a Ryzen 3800x for comparison and 32GB DDR4 3600.
Hey EposVox, Thanks for the tip. Question for you though about WEBM and file size optimization: Is file size the ultimate indicator of performance in OBS? For example if I have two files that are the same size that are both MP4 and WEBM, will OBS have less strain on the CPU and GPU if I use WEBM? *Some BG on what I've been tinkering with, if you want to know more about my line of thinking:* I'm looking for ways to trim down the size of all my Media (video) overlays I run, just to optimize things for better performance. I know in past videos you recommended using WEBM, and so a while back I downloaded the WEBM plugin for Premiere Pro and I made sure to save some of the overlay graphics I made in the WEBM format. But does this really improve performance? Is the WEBM container preferred / less resource-intensive than .MP4 files? The reason I've wondered this is that I have some MP4 files that I'm trying to reduce file size on. When I went to save them as WebM the file size doubled (even when I put the Adobe Media Encoder settings to Quality at 50%). Now to be fair even when I try to save the original video as an MP4 it still increases the file size (probably because the original compression was the most efficient compression). Now I'm debating if it's worth it to try saving as a WEBM or MP4 with a toned down bit rate, and I'm not even sure if I should really go through the trouble of WEBM (especially for a video I made in After Effects which is MP4 originally but doesn't even have audio in it to eat up file size).
this is a solid tip! I just upgraded to the 12900k from my Ryzen 3800x and I have been getting quite a more more skipped and missed frames. I have a HD vid that plays in the background so if my game don't show up (minecraft) immediately after changing scenes then my logo vid plays as a filler. I think this may be the thing I have been looking for
You my guy are a life saver didn't know what the hell was going on in ma stream yesterday changing scenes had my stinger choppy and making weird audio noises during the transition.. Doing exactly this fixed my issue by 100%!! THANK YOU IN ALL CAPZ!!
Hi man. I just spent a whole bunch of time and effort making an animated border and a stinger transition. But for stone reason both of these things have really bad frames when I put them into a scene. I rendered them as .AVI is there something I'm missing?
Need some help. I've gone through about all your videos and unless I missed it I can't find this. I'm struggling with moving from one scene using camera 1 view, then moving to the next scene with a smaller version of camera 1 and the video does not show up. I feel like it used to work, but for some reason now it is not.
FIXED. Since I'm only using 1 camera, of you create new sources in each of your scenes it does think you are trying to access the camera more than once at a time. Which is causing the problem. If, when adding the Camera (capture device) you select it from the drop down of already create sources it then works. The app believes its one video source and moves between scenes without issue.. You can resize with no issue and it doesn't change the other scenes.. I hope this helps!!
Hello darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again Oh sorry, I use streamelements animated overlays and when I transition between scenes the overlays have a delay that is really horrible. If I am in Studio Mode and use a transition I can make it transition fine by adding the right (ms) to the transitions to make it look good. Really I want to use the transitions matrix plugin though so this is not optimal for me. Any idea what I can do to correct the overlays loading so slow? I'm not very experienced with OBS so I'm wondering what I have done wrong.
What are some of the other things that could be causing the render lag? On some days everything is running smooth and without changing a single thing on other days my render lag will jump on 3-5% when I start it up on its own without anything else running.. It's so weird. I've noticed that it's somehow correlated to CoD Warzone updates, since whenever the game runs badly (OBS lags), then Blizzard brings out an update and everything runs smooth again on both ends. My hardware runs perfectly fine in all instances as viewed in my task manager and I really don't know what could be causing it on the odd days. It's worth to mention that 95% of my sources are browser sources and I do not use locally stored files apart from scene transitions.
I have a 2017 Spectre HP 360 Laptop -I am Not Gaming - for Streaming my Video Podcast in OBS Studio. MY Laptop has Windows 10 Home, i7 7500U (2 Core Processor), with a built in NVIDIA GeForce 940 MX graphics card. I know this is not a High quality machine for streaming, however, I do not have the cash right now to build a Ryzen PC with a good Graphics Card, such as a NVIDIA RTX 2026 Super with NVEC. Anyway, could you advise how I can get my setting to optimize, it seems every UA-cam I watch is catered to people with $800 - $3000 PC's. HELP!!!!!!!! This is my main Computer, mostly for DJing.
Thank you man, been trying to figure this out for the last hour. I was having lag when I was transitioning scenes, and despite having the same media source in both scenes it was still causing issues. Simply checking enable hardware encoding and close when inactive fixed it completely. 💜 stay BOUSE my dude!
@eposvox this one, okay. Yes I even went and listened to some others but this one (for whatever it was worth) is the muffled, over damped one I was referring to when I said that other one sounded better. Happy now, go have a coffee.
Thank you for this Tip. Can this be applied to plug in too? I am a Dj/Gamer and I started streaming recently. HELLA NOOB. (Thank you so much to all my fellow gamer's who have helped create a amazing environment in Twitch) And I am using an Audio Spectralizer plug in you recommended. Which is awesome. But wonder if this same tip can be used for that. Also if you can help, what are the best settings in OBS studio to Dj stream with since we do a lot of movement and use high quality audio via usb interface? My video and audio get glitchy here and there during my stream. When it works, it works great, but when it glitches, sounds and looks like a crazy stutter effect. I only use the one animation with the Spectralizer plug in and all my scenes, like six in total are saved as PNG. And I only use the fade filter between them. So nothing crazy. Here is my current seat up in OBS and gear. I am streaming at: OUTPUT:: Video Bitrate: 3500 Hardware: NVEC - Have a GTX 1050 Audio Bitrate: 160 AUDIO:: Sample Rate: 44.1 VIDEO:: Output 1280x720 FPS: 30 EXTERNAL SOUND CARD: Behringer U-Phoria UMC202HD USB CAMERAS: Logitec C922 Galaxy Note 4 connect via USB to my laptop i5-7300 Quad core Laptop Connected via Ethernet to modem.

And thank you to the community for any help also.
I had render lags. and found out it was my FPS was off. I had my OBS stream/record set to 30fps. but my movie clip was 60fps. I went and edited my movie to be 30fps. and it rendered smooth, no lags. or chops.
EposVox thx just checked them! Hopefully this will help with my lag when I change scenes on streamdeck while playing modern warfare... this i7-7700(4core/8thread) & GTX 1080 PC seems to have reached its limit as a single PC setup.
Always love quick tips. Thanks for the info. I do have this set for the 30 or green screen videos just waiting to be triggered by viewer chat commands. But I did not have hardware decoding checked. Gonna give that a shot and see if it has any noticeable difference.
I am having this problem too, I tried ticking that box and it's still freezing frames, I'm using mp4 clips, any advice, u are the stream god advice man, my fav
No matter what settings i used on my ryzen 5 3600, XFX Rx 570 8gb, 16gb of ddr4 ram, i still get renderlag stream has hitches ive even used your special sauce settings
Just wanted to say that you are right. My comment was totally unjustified and was totally not directed at you but shoudl have been directed at obs support. Love your channel and your video actually helps a lot of people so rock on!!! :)
Thanks for the tips EposVox! Question... My stream output is set to 1080p 60fps, i have all my settings optimized according to your vids, and i get no dropped frames, but when i watch my streams back it definitely doesn't maintain 60fps at all times. It is doing my head in! Suggestions?
I know that isn't much to go on! But i am a fiend for stream audio and video quality and i can't maintain a silky smooth 60, despite my games FPS being well above that.
@@EposVox ok it looks like the video where you demonstrated what video looks like coming out of the ATEM USB-C. Speaking of that can you stream from the HDMI out?
My stream was crap the other night because I added 10 scenes each with their own 720p BG video that did not have this checked! Are you telling me that I had 10 videos basically playing and rendering at once cause I didnt have that checked? If so, god damn, thank you for this!
I was just suffering from render and encoder lag today, it caused an over all 3% loss consistently for the time the stream was live. I was struggling to figure out what caused it and finally figured it out... a Gif that was in my scenes I had placed as an *image* rather than a *media source.* Once I changed that the only drop was on scene transitions where I use a 1080p Gif (which I only use because I couldn't get transparent video to work without it eating 99% of my processing power just having it exist in OBS)
dude you exposed the ip of your NAS system at some point in the video, I wont point out where for obvious reasons so you will have to find it on your own.
Thanks for your videos. But your audio is awful. You have some EQ on your mic which is pretty bad, and sounds like your talking through a large stuffed teddy bear with a microphone shoved up its butt. It’s all mid bass and a little treble and not much else.

thks for the tips! do u know a easy way to get gif less heavy as a background scene ?
Convert to H.264/H.265 with Staxrip, then check "loop".
@@vrealon7738 Yep, this!
Are you asking how to make a GIF a media source, or how to make a looping media source a GIF? Does one demand more CPU than the other?
I have animated overlays, and have checked these boxes. I am still getting render lag. Any help would be appreciated.

activate hardwareacceleration for every video source too. since the gpu can encode videofile with ease. much less framedrops
