    hello everyone! I had a really bad lag issue and this video didn't fix it, HOWEVER I fixed it myself! if you're still experiencing lag go into settings > video > FPS and set it to around 20 make sure your downscale filter is at bicubic! I hope this helped!

  • @JavierFML
    @JavierFML 3 роки тому

    I was looking at the comments and here are some solutions I saw to fix lag and stutter when you’re done recording and watching the results of that recording (even tho the video shows you what to do to fix this)
    1. Open OBS As Administrator
    2. Go To: Settings - Output - Recording or Streaming (Depending On If You Stream Or record) And Test Out All Encoders One By One
    3. Go To: Settings - Video - And Lower “Output (Scaled) Resolution” To Whatever Seems Fit.
    Since My Laptop Is Trash, I personally changed the encoder to “QuickSync H.264” And Changed My Video Resolution To 1280x720 and had no issues with lag or Stutter while recording. The recording also had no lag or stutter.

    • @VypaGaming
      @VypaGaming 3 роки тому

      What bitrate do u record at? The bitrate could be the "messiness". Ignore the youtubers who say 12-24 mbps bitrate is good enough because its trash. Record in 40+ mbps.

    This is how I fix laggy recording.
    In the output settings:
    1. Switch to Hardware Encoder (make sure to pick H.evc since it's better)
    2. Change ur video bitrate to 2500k
    also if ur audio has a bit of a delay, just lower the bitrate to 128k.

    Just in my opinion if you are trying to record on a MacBook/Imac and recording is very laggy I found that if you switch to your Hardware Encoder in the output of the recording tab the graphics will not be as good but you get pretty good FPS and my CPU is I5 so that's my personal settings.

    For people that have laggy recording but smooth gameplay its because you have game mode on. I was struggling with this for like 2 years but then I found out that since game mode focuses on the game more than anything else, the recording lags. And profile should be set to either main or high

    MY problem is once i export the video i just recorded. It keeps lagging and sometimes doesn't record the audio I just did. But the whole time Im recording you can see in the audio mixer that it is recording. Please help.

    And what do i do if the GeForce Game Ready Driver gets always an error if i wanna update? Without it i cant start the recording.

    for me, I'm having a problem with CPU usage. My CPU usage doesn't go over 50%, yet my recording lags terribly, and when I turn up the priority of the task, my game lags instead, but my cpu usage still stays around the same. Could it be that I'm thermal throttling? I've had the same thermal compound for years.. I don't know. Thanks, sorry!
