Can you make one video for streaming live Gameplays on UA-cam from OBS Studios. Also, at 1080p 60fps or higher. This will be much appreciated brother. Thank You!🙏
Even though this was a year old I found a lot of the 2024 OBS videos weren't really helping me eliminate the odd stuttering i was getting in some of my recordings, this gave me the quality i needed and made it smooth! thanks a lot
Right lmaoo. Saw some UA-camr with 4k and he had a time stamp just for 1080p users… ig everyone else is trash compared to his 4k resolution money set up 💀💀😂
You’ll probably never see this but thank you so much I didn’t know what my issue was, and I tried different videos for an hour. Thank you 🙏 It finally looks like my game.
thank u so much mate on my mum dude i legit looked for hours for a person that could make my videos less blurry and u did just that ur a legend mate wont forget ya if i ever get big on yt and someone ask what my obs settings are ima give them ur link bro thumbs up from me
Thanks for the tutorial, the whole time i was using the Nvidia NVENC H264 but when using Nvidia NVENC HEVC, it became more crispier and even setting it to P7 i didn't lose any FPS. What i didn't follow though is the Audio as i only set it to 44.1KHz as when i set it to 48KHz it sounded like I was in a cave and everything sounded so weird. Thanks again for the tutorial!
Good video. I had to smack myself because I had the video quality on 480p and was like wtf is he talking about. 😁 Adjusting the quality and I could immediately see the difference. Thanks again for the video.
Can I set 120 fps with this setting. And how about if I set present to P1 fastest it will increase the smoothness or nothing happens or it will broke the Quality?
I think you can record in 120fps, but you're gonna have to use single pass and use fastest encoder preset. Fastest preset is just using more bitrate to give you the same quality as the slowest. it won't hurt the quality. If you're using RTX 4000 series GPU, then it's really easy to do it. however if you're using RTX 3000 series GPU, I'd suggest you try and see for yourself.
Thanks for your help, but for some reason my screen on obs is no longer full screen, which is something I WANT. If I press the ctrl + f, will i still have the same audio and video settings that you mentioned on this video?? Thanks.
Bro the most legit video ! Thanks a lot ! Just Let me add an extra info for remuxing.... Click "file" >> "settings" >>"advanced" ... and you will see on the Recording tab "Automatically remux to mp4"... this amazing feature will let your mkv recording converted to mp4 whenever you finished your record friend... 👌
Great informative video but could you please tell me what should be the best config for RTX 4070 While selecting Video Encoder? NVDIA NVENC HEVC or NVDIA NVENC AV1 ? CPU used is I7 3700 (13TH GEN) Motherboard : MSI Tomohawk Wifi DDR 5 With 32gb Ram
Just make the settings as I showed in the video. There's no need to use AV1 if you're going to use CQP level 20. AV1 is better for low bitrates. If you want the best recording experience, make the preset to something faster like P3/P4. Other than that, everything is fine.
Finally somebody with 2560x1440p settings (what's up with 2K users being discriminated?). No screaming/loud noises during the video, very thorough tutorial and quite helpful video overall. Much appreciated, thanks a lot! I've got loads of footage that I'm not willing to toss into trash just yet, and the issue is encoding which I had no idea would be such a pain in the neck. Had x264 encoding preset (along with some other bad settings, but this probably was the major issue), so it made all my footage incredibly laggy after it had been recorded successfully. Literally, the frames went missing once I checked the saved videos, which gives the impression I was recording on a toaster (lmao). Had relatively stable fps in-game (85-100) throughout the recording process. If there is a way to fix this, I would really appreciate your help. Thank you for this video once again!
Thanks for watching. Unfortunately there is no fix for missing frames. Once everything is encoded it's there whether it had stable frames or missing frames. I'm sorry for that.
@@ExtremelySimplified Figured that might be the case. In the meantime, I found out about an AI type of fix which could technically put back the missing frames based on an algorithm, but it requires patience/time and some decent knowledge, so I won't bother. Well, audio is still fine, so I will make some use of it. Thanks for the reply!
Your videos are so underrated mate, wow finally found some good info! What encoder do you advise me ? I stream from a mac mini M2 Pro chipset so my options are x264 and all other software encoder, and for hardware encoder the options are H.264 , HEVC (h265) , and ProRes.. which would you advise as the best for streaming , and which as the best for recording? Thanks mate!!
Thank you. I didn't try Mac encoders myself but from what I've seen online, they are pretty good and quick. I'd suggest you use hardware encoders like h.264/h.265 for both streaming and recording.
Very useful tutorial, but how do I set 60 fps in "Output" apart from "Video" because I have several videos I recorded where when I checked in Properties it turned out to be 30 fps, even though I had set it to "Video"? 60 fps, can the "Output" section lock 60 fps? I hope you answer my comment because I'm really a new OBS user :D
Multipass mode is just a way to make use of less bitrate but at the same quality as the Single Pass mode. It's not something I'd recommend turning on for gameplays if you're recording and playing with the same GPU. Use Multi Pass mode for less heavy applications like tutorials or less intensive games. And use Single Pass mode for gameplay videos but keep in mind that the final video will be a little larger than a video encoded with Multi Pass mode.
I have a gt 730, and the Nvidia option isn't there in encoding settings. What do I do? My CPU is an Intel i3 10th gen, and that gets me really blurry recordings.
Thanks for the super informative video! It's got me thinking about NVENC HEVC. When I'm uploading to platforms like UA-cam or TikTok, does the upload get converted to H.264? Appreciate your input on this!

AV1 is the best codec out there and it's using less bandwidth while providing higher image quality. As for TikTok, as far as I know, it's converting videos to H.264.
Hi bro nice video, very informative.ihave a question though,i dont have graphics card and i use AMD ryzen 5600g 39hz what settings in encoder you recommend?
@Παυλος Μεταξουλης I don't know for sure about Ryzen encoders, but I think there will be an option called AMD VCE or AMD VCN. If you happened to see it, choose H.264 or HEVC. As for the rest of the settings, try to copy what I showed in the video and experiment with it. Hope this helps.
Hey brother i'm currently recording rise of tomb raider but corrupts or lag on about 18 min of recording. i'm using mp4 and cbr bitrate of 60k, does these all settings are good for seamless recording with good quality? i have 4060 i7 13gen hx laptop i guess max setting on obs will be handled perfectly
First off, try to change it to MKV to make the videos not prone to corruption. I'd really suggest changing the quality or CQP to try to choose something like 25 or a higher number to get lower bitrates that can match 60K CBR. Then make sure to choose (P1 Fastest) to lower the encoding pressure on the GPU for a slightly bigger file. It's worth it in my opinion. Then for the Multipass mode just use single pass. Try these settings and see if it's gonna work for you.
The quality is defined by the CQP level. The higher the number, the worse the quality and the lower the file size. The lower the number, the better the quality and the higher the file size. Example: CQP level 20 is higher quality than cqp level 25.
Your explanation is great, but I have a doubt: if 1440p at CQP 20 results in a high bitrate of around 150,000, and UA-cam's maximum is only 60,000, what does that mean? Any ideas? I edited the video and rendered it at 60,000 bitrate before uploading to UA-cam, and it looks good. However, when watching the video in 1080p, it seems like some details are missing. I've seen a lot of UA-camrs' 1440p videos that still look super good when viewed in 1080p.
@@Peaky456 Did you upload to UA-cam in 1440P? Uploading any resolution above 1080p forces UA-cam to encode the video on their end to VP9 codec, which is a much better codec than H.264 that UA-cam uses for 1080p or lower-resolution uploads. You can also upload in 4K to UA-cam which will force VP9 and also downsamples the 4K to 1440p 1080p, 720p etc... This will make the 1080p video on UA-cam appear much more detailed.
excuse me, I'm using an Nvidia GTX GPU, but why is it that when I use the Encoder H, 265, I always fail or get an error, but when I use HEVC, my recording doesn't error?
Hey it's me again, just found out earlier i came across the Nvidia Nvenc AV1(656MB) and produces less file size than the Nvenc Hevc(5.60GB). For me it has a slight crispier output also. I have the RTX 4060. What do you think? should i start using the Nvidia Nvenc AV1?
Well, AV1 is the newest codec out there and your GPU can definitely handle it well. But if you're editing your videos on Premiere Pro, just stick with HEVC. Davinci Resolve can work with AV1 videos very effectively if you're using it.
hi. question, i wanted to record on obs with Base Resolution of 2560x1440 , but the max output resolution is limited to 1080p , no 1440p option. any solutions? i have 32inch monitor and intel arc a750 gpu
My stats showed no lag or dropped frames in my recording but when I review the footage every now and then I get a small amount of stutter. only happens in Hell divers 2. is it because im only getting 85fps on my 120 hz monitor???
I think this issue happened to me. After months of research and trying everything, I believe I found out why: Go to Nvidia Control Panel, then go to Change Resolution section. Make sure to choose the resolution from the "Ultra HD, HD, SD" section instead of choosing the resolution from the "PC" section. Usually, any resolution from the "Ultra HD, HD, SD" section will have slower refresh rate than the "PC" section but it will make sure you get the smoothest recording in OBS or any other recording software. Hope this helps.
@@ExtremelySimplified thanks mate ill give it a go. Weird in the Ultra HD section it doesnt have my resolution. I have 3440 x 1440 and in that section it only goes up to 1920 x 1080
@@GamingForTheRecentlyDeceased Yeah it's a bit weird for me and I'm still trying to figure out why exactly. I'll make sure to make a video in the future addressing this issue but in the mean time, just use the highest resolution from the "Ultra HD, HD, SD" section.
You really helped me thanks 🔥 I have rtx3060ti and i512400F ..16ram I am recording on cqp =1 and keyframe interval = 0 s Encoder H.264 Preset..better quality Is this too crazy😮?
Yes! there's no need for the settings that you have! CQP 1 will give you unnecessarily huge file sizes while you don't benefit from them! Just use the settings I mentioned in the video with HEVC NVENC and CQP 20-17 if you want High quality videos with good file sizes. As for keyframe interval, make it 2 seconds. don't make it 0 because it means that it will put keyframe intervals automatically.
@@ExtremelySimplified thanks i did like you said in the video already👏by the way i watched alot of vids on UA-cam about that subject before but your video was the perfect one and your presentation just straight to the point clearly 👍 Another question ⁉️ are you from alyaman?
@@O_Q2shorts1 I'm not quite sure about this problem but here's a possible fix: Try using multiple variations of 60 FPS from the drop-down menu which they are: 1. Common FPS Values 2. Integer FPS Value 3. Fractional FPS Value
Thanks for watching. To be honest, I don't stream and never did. If you mean that you want the settings for streaming online, I'd suggest you use the same settings in the video and changing some settings, First make the preset "P4 Medium Quality". second make the audio bitrate 128 kbps. Again, I've never tried to stream, so I really don't know for sure.
Hi, thanks for the video tutorial. Just a question... And if i have the encoders like NVIDIA NVENC HEVC and NVIDIA NVENC AV1, so what i need to chose, which is better for my RTX 4090?, the HEVC or the AV1?
AV1 is a newer codec and it's better than H.265 (HEVC) in terms of quality while having smaller file sizes. However, since it's new, not many devices can play it back. Since you have an RTX 4090 which supports encoding and decoding with AV1 without issues you can use NVENC AV1 if you're planning on editing the videos ONLY with Davinci Resolve! If you're planning on editing with Premiere Pro, I'd advise you to stick with HEVC.
@@ExtremelySimplified Thank you very much, so for now i will use the HEVC one, and maybe in the future when the AV1 will be supported by more editing programs so i will start use it then
im have an RTX 4070.. i use av1 encoder in obs and my editing app shotcut which supports it. hope itll help you save some file size. while maintaining quality.
Waddup bro i just followed your steps but am noticing a massive drop of frames when playing I usually get 250 on mw3 but with recording it drops to the 30s- 40s fps range plz help
Dood Great presentation. But you just said use single pass if your using 1440p or higher then why did you choose two pass full resolution ? Please let me know. i am asking this doubht because i saw you setting your display as 2560x1440 Edit : please reply if when you've got time
Usually, a single pass means that it will do the calculations to assign bitrate one time. But two passes full resolution means that it will do calculations twice to give you a more efficient video in terms of bitrate. Meaning sometimes it will give you a smaller file size compared to video used with single pass. But the problem with two passes is that it takes so much processing and if you're recording gameplay especially, it will drop some frames if you're recording in 1440p or higher (not necessarily that it will drop frames but I said 1440p or higher just as a general idea for everyone). There's no rule in determining which one works better since not everyone has the same hardware. I usually use two passes full resolution for my recordings that don't involve high-quality gameplay. I use it for screen recordings or recording gameplay from games that are old and don't need so much processing. I hope this helps.
@@ExtremelySimplified so for high quality gameplay should I use single pass ? I'm currently play rdr2 in my channel... You video was more informative than the ones I've seen. I have two questions 1) I will be playing all high graphics games on my channel... So I want to know if I need to use single pass ? 2) even though I use av1 I still get a relatively bigger file size.. for example 30 mins video gaming give 30 gb file size. I can't reduces the cq levels less than 20 if I do that I fear UA-cam will compress my video size more and therefore hamper my video quality!!. If you have the time please answer my queries!!! Thanks in advance.
@TheDarkDoveGaming I'm sorry for the late reply, UA-cam chose to put your comment in the "Held for review" section. I just read your comment now! For getting the best quality while recording gameplays, I just made a video covering this topic. you can watch it here: ua-cam.com/video/c9tT4yXPJmQ/v-deo.html For multipass, just use single pass so you don't get dropped frames if you're maxing out the GPU. the quality will stay the same as two passes but the file size might be a little bit larger. I really recommend watching the video that I mentioned above. As for codecs, if you're going to set CQ level at a specific number, you're not gonna see a difference in the file sizes between AV1 or HEVC. That's because CQ level will give the same bitrate no matter what codec you're using and therefore you'll get the same file size. If you want to use AV1 in order to lower the file size, use CQ level that is higher than 20. (Higher number = lower bitrate). use something like 25 or 27 and see if you notice any difference in the quality.
hi was wondering i play on a asus tuf dash 15 3060 and im wondering why soon as i open obs my game looks like a hole other game can u plz help me with this sorry im a newbe
Ok can u help me how do i upload my vids in hd? Like im watching your video n its 1080 without wifi.. but when i watch my own recorded uploaded videos they are 480? Help someone anyone lol
Do you upload your videos using cellular network? if so, try uploading them using WiFi. Also, check out the resolution of the video before publishing it.
Have you tried recording the webcam footage alongside the gameplay and got smooth gameplay but stuttering in the webcam footage? If so, this means that the problem is with the webcam and not your PC.

AV1 is the best codec out there and it's using less bandwidth while providing higher image quality.
As for TikTok, as far as I know, it's converting videos to H.264.
@@ExtremelySimplified Big thanks for this. Explains a lot. Good luck and keep up the amazing work!
@@grindgame Good luck to you too.
Hi bro nice video, very informative.ihave a question though,i dont have graphics card and i use AMD ryzen 5600g 39hz what settings in encoder you recommend?
@Παυλος Μεταξουλης I don't know for sure about Ryzen encoders, but I think there will be an option called AMD VCE or AMD VCN.
If you happened to see it, choose H.264 or HEVC.
As for the rest of the settings, try to copy what I showed in the video and experiment with it.
Hope this helps.
Hey brother i'm currently recording rise of tomb raider but corrupts or lag on about 18 min of recording. i'm using mp4 and cbr bitrate of 60k, does these all settings are good for seamless recording with good quality? i have 4060 i7 13gen hx laptop i guess max setting on obs will be handled perfectly
First off, try to change it to MKV to make the videos not prone to corruption.
I'd really suggest changing the quality or CQP to try to choose something like 25 or a higher number to get lower bitrates that can match 60K CBR.
Then make sure to choose (P1 Fastest) to lower the encoding pressure on the GPU for a slightly bigger file. It's worth it in my opinion.
Then for the Multipass mode just use single pass.
Try these settings and see if it's gonna work for you.
@@ExtremelySimplified thanks a lot brother but does it loose the quality as well? I want the best results without lag
The quality is defined by the CQP level.
The higher the number, the worse the quality and the lower the file size.
The lower the number, the better the quality and the higher the file size.
Example: CQP level 20 is higher quality than cqp level 25.
idk which stream encoder since i have a microsoft surface go 2 laptop nt really a gaming computer but its one that works for me??
Your explanation is great, but I have a doubt: if 1440p at CQP 20 results in a high bitrate of around 150,000, and UA-cam's maximum is only 60,000, what does that mean? Any ideas? I edited the video and rendered it at 60,000 bitrate before uploading to UA-cam, and it looks good. However, when watching the video in 1080p, it seems like some details are missing. I've seen a lot of UA-camrs' 1440p videos that still look super good when viewed in 1080p.
@@Peaky456 Did you upload to UA-cam in 1440P?
Uploading any resolution above 1080p forces UA-cam to encode the video on their end to VP9 codec, which is a much better codec than H.264 that UA-cam uses for 1080p or lower-resolution uploads.
You can also upload in 4K to UA-cam which will force VP9 and also downsamples the 4K to 1440p 1080p, 720p etc...
This will make the 1080p video on UA-cam appear much more detailed.
excuse me, I'm using an Nvidia GTX GPU, but why is it that when I use the Encoder H, 265, I always fail or get an error, but when I use HEVC, my recording doesn't error?
I don't understand what you mean by that.
H.265 is HEVC!
Try choosing the best codec that suits your needs.
Hey it's me again, just found out earlier i came across the Nvidia Nvenc AV1(656MB) and produces less file size than the Nvenc Hevc(5.60GB). For me it has a slight crispier output also. I have the RTX 4060. What do you think? should i start using the Nvidia Nvenc AV1?
Well, AV1 is the newest codec out there and your GPU can definitely handle it well. But if you're editing your videos on Premiere Pro, just stick with HEVC.
Davinci Resolve can work with AV1 videos very effectively if you're using it.
@isotechnica yes I am editing my videos on Adobe premiere pro. Haven't tried the DaVinci Resolve but will try it. You earn a sub! Thanks again!
Thanks for turning in 🔥
OH MY GOD THANK YOU YOU ARE A WIZARD YOU SAVED ME
hi. question, i wanted to record on obs with Base Resolution of 2560x1440 , but the max output resolution is limited to 1080p , no 1440p option. any solutions? i have 32inch monitor and intel arc a750 gpu
You have to manually type it in man

thanks brother

No problem!
Wooow😱 Thank you🙏

My stats showed no lag or dropped frames in my recording but when I review the footage every now and then I get a small amount of stutter. only happens in Hell divers 2. is it because im only getting 85fps on my 120 hz monitor???
I think this issue happened to me. After months of research and trying everything, I believe I found out why:
Go to Nvidia Control Panel, then go to Change Resolution section. Make sure to choose the resolution from the "Ultra HD, HD, SD" section instead of choosing the resolution from the "PC" section.
Usually, any resolution from the "Ultra HD, HD, SD" section will have slower refresh rate than the "PC" section but it will make sure you get the smoothest recording in OBS or any other recording software.
Hope this helps.
@@ExtremelySimplified thanks mate ill give it a go. Weird in the Ultra HD section it doesnt have my resolution. I have 3440 x 1440 and in that section it only goes up to 1920 x 1080
@@GamingForTheRecentlyDeceased Yeah it's a bit weird for me and I'm still trying to figure out why exactly. I'll make sure to make a video in the future addressing this issue but in the mean time, just use the highest resolution from the "Ultra HD, HD, SD" section.
Thanks bro 😎
I recorded a video gameplay it’s 2 hours and the size 16 GB , i hope there way to make the size under 8 GB 😅❤

@@or6itstar Hi, I'd suggest you watch this video if it can help:
ua-cam.com/video/yUYfoNRT0I4/v-deo.html
You really helped me thanks 🔥
I have rtx3060ti and i512400F ..16ram
I am recording on cqp =1 and keyframe interval = 0 s
Encoder H.264
Preset..better quality
Is this too crazy😮?
Yes! there's no need for the settings that you have!
CQP 1 will give you unnecessarily huge file sizes while you don't benefit from them!
Just use the settings I mentioned in the video with HEVC NVENC and CQP 20-17 if you want High quality videos with good file sizes.
As for keyframe interval, make it 2 seconds. don't make it 0 because it means that it will put keyframe intervals automatically.
@@ExtremelySimplified thanks i did like you said in the video already👏by the way i watched alot of vids on UA-cam about that subject before but your video was the perfect one and your presentation just straight to the point clearly 👍
Another question ⁉️ are you from alyaman?

I've got a ryzen 7 5700x 32gb ram rtx 4060ti. Is this enough for high or even epic gameplay recording at Full HD with 60 fps?
Of course!
good video but im getting 2 times speed on my clips and im using CQP as you told us in the video do you know how to fix it?
That's a weird behaviour! Did you check that it was your playback speed on your video player?
@@ExtremelySimplified ye playback speed is 1x
@@O_Q2shorts1
I'm not quite sure about this problem but here's a possible fix:
Try using multiple variations of 60 FPS from the drop-down menu which they are:
1. Common FPS Values
2. Integer FPS Value
3. Fractional FPS Value
@@ExtremelySimplified it worked thank you!
@@O_Q2shorts1 I'm glad it did! Enjoy creating :)
hey friend, what about best recording settings for streamers? good video :)
Thanks for watching.
To be honest, I don't stream and never did.
If you mean that you want the settings for streaming online, I'd suggest you use the same settings in the video and changing some settings, First make the preset "P4 Medium Quality". second make the audio bitrate 128 kbps.
Again, I've never tried to stream, so I really don't know for sure.
bro i have ryzen 5 5600g and what is the best encoder for me
you helped me you earned a sub!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much for the support 🙏🏻
Hi, thanks for the video tutorial. Just a question... And if i have the encoders like NVIDIA NVENC HEVC and NVIDIA NVENC AV1, so what i need to chose, which is better for my RTX 4090?, the HEVC or the AV1?
AV1 is a newer codec and it's better than H.265 (HEVC) in terms of quality while having smaller file sizes. However, since it's new, not many devices can play it back.
Since you have an RTX 4090 which supports encoding and decoding with AV1 without issues you can use NVENC AV1 if you're planning on editing the videos ONLY with Davinci Resolve!
If you're planning on editing with Premiere Pro, I'd advise you to stick with HEVC.
@@ExtremelySimplified Thank you very much, so for now i will use the HEVC one, and maybe in the future when the AV1 will be supported by more editing programs so i will start use it then
You're welcome 💙
im have an RTX 4070.. i use av1 encoder in obs and my editing app shotcut which supports it. hope itll help you save some file size. while maintaining quality.
If your editing program can handle it, I see no issues in recording with AV1.
For audio, you are set with 256 kbs, Spotify is 192 but UA-cam generally doesn’t go over 256kbs
Waddup bro i just followed your steps but am noticing a massive drop of frames when playing I usually get 250 on mw3 but with recording it drops to the 30s- 40s fps range plz help
Then try this:
Preset: P1 Fastest
Multipass: Single
This will increase the performance for your gameplay at the expense of a larger size of the video.
And when it comes to streaming, can we use the same settings and get good results? Or are these exclusive for recording?
You can also use these settings for streaming.
Now obs has new nvec Av1 encorder i have rtx 40 series gpu so should i use Av1 or Hevc
Use AV1 as it's the newest codec.
@@ExtremelySimplified but i cant export AV1 in davinci so if i export AV1 footage to h265 will the quality drop..
thank you !!
Welcome!
Thanks my pc blows up😀
TYSM Bro
iam using gtx 1650ti, so i should use what? h264 or HEVC
Use H.264.
Dood Great presentation. But you just said use single pass if your using 1440p or higher then why did you choose two pass full resolution ? Please let me know.
i am asking this doubht because i saw you setting your display as 2560x1440
Edit : please reply if when you've got time
Usually, a single pass means that it will do the calculations to assign bitrate one time. But two passes full resolution means that it will do calculations twice to give you a more efficient video in terms of bitrate. Meaning sometimes it will give you a smaller file size compared to video used with single pass.
But the problem with two passes is that it takes so much processing and if you're recording gameplay especially, it will drop some frames if you're recording in 1440p or higher (not necessarily that it will drop frames but I said 1440p or higher just as a general idea for everyone). There's no rule in determining which one works better since not everyone has the same hardware.
I usually use two passes full resolution for my recordings that don't involve high-quality gameplay. I use it for screen recordings or recording gameplay from games that are old and don't need so much processing.
I hope this helps.
@@ExtremelySimplified so for high quality gameplay should I use single pass ? I'm currently play rdr2 in my channel... You video was more informative than the ones I've seen.
I have two questions
1) I will be playing all high graphics games on my channel... So I want to know if I need to use single pass ?
2) even though I use av1 I still get a relatively bigger file size.. for example 30 mins video gaming give 30 gb file size. I can't reduces the cq levels less than 20 if I do that I fear UA-cam will compress my video size more and therefore hamper my video quality!!.
If you have the time please answer my queries!!! Thanks in advance.
@TheDarkDoveGaming I'm sorry for the late reply, UA-cam chose to put your comment in the "Held for review" section. I just read your comment now!
For getting the best quality while recording gameplays, I just made a video covering this topic. you can watch it here:
ua-cam.com/video/c9tT4yXPJmQ/v-deo.html
For multipass, just use single pass so you don't get dropped frames if you're maxing out the GPU. the quality will stay the same as two passes but the file size might be a little bit larger. I really recommend watching the video that I mentioned above.
As for codecs, if you're going to set CQ level at a specific number, you're not gonna see a difference in the file sizes between AV1 or HEVC. That's because CQ level will give the same bitrate no matter what codec you're using and therefore you'll get the same file size.
If you want to use AV1 in order to lower the file size, use CQ level that is higher than 20. (Higher number = lower bitrate).
use something like 25 or 27 and see if you notice any difference in the quality.

Ok can u help me how do i upload my vids in hd? Like im watching your video n its 1080 without wifi.. but when i watch my own recorded uploaded videos they are 480? Help someone anyone lol
Do you upload your videos using cellular network? if so, try uploading them using WiFi.
Also, check out the resolution of the video before publishing it.
My webcam lag while recording gameplay please solve
Have you tried recording the webcam footage alongside the gameplay and got smooth gameplay but stuttering in the webcam footage?
If so, this means that the problem is with the webcam and not your PC.
Thank u so much my graphics card rtx 3060 can i use ur settings
32gb ram processor i7 12 generation
Sure you can!
Mine and yours have the same encoders, you definitely can use the same settings I did in the video.
i have rtx 4060ti and i have AV1 can i use it bro?
AV1 is a newly adopted codec so if you'd like to edit your AV1 then use Davinci Resolve. Otherwise just use HEVC.
I tried your video and still after setting the image is incredibly blurry
What’s gpu do you use
RTX 3070 Laptop GPU
