How to Improve Recording Quality in OBS Studio - Fix Blurry Recordings

In this video I show you how to improve recording quality in OBS Studio. There are a few reasons why you may have poor recording quality. One of the more common reasons being that the output resolution is set too low. If your output resolution is set low then you will have bad recording quality as there isn’t enough pixels to create a high quality image.
Another way that you can improve recording quality in OBS is to increase your bitrate. Your bitrate controls how much used to make every second of the video. Having the bitrate set too low will cause bad recording quality as there isn’t enough information being saved. Using a bitrate of at least 10000 for 1080p recordings will give better quality recording without having the file size be too large. If you have a good PC you can always increase the bitrate further to improve recording quality even more.
If you’re using the CQP rate control option then you can adjust the video quality through the CQ level. The lower the CQ level the better quality your OBS recording will be. Typically using a CQ level of 18 will work fine, providing a decent file size and good recording quality.
Another option is to reduce your frame rate, however, this isn’t recommended for gameplay. The frame rate or FPS controls how many times the video is updated per second. Setting the FPS to 30 means your bitrate is being used across 30 different images, not 60. This allows you to improve recording quality without increasing the bitrate.

Thank you so much! I just had got my pc when i noticed my recordings were in 720p and thought my pc wasn't capable of 1080p, lifesaver dude!

[@Kokoss77]

isnt 720p enough

[@JXPITERTheCaster]

@@Kokoss77 too blurry

[@Kokoss77]

@ tbh I think that the creator flooded this comment section with bots to make it look like it actually works

[@callmem1k072]

Dang I actually owe you one bro. I jumped when I saw my screen recording was just as good as my gameplay. TYSMM

[@mystofn]

Thank you so much! I never thought i could get better quality and i always thought it was my pc! now the quality is great!

This was really helpful, I’ve been having a lot of issues with this application ever since I first got it but now after watching this and one other tutorial I’ve got it going. Appreciate it man, keep doing what you’re doing!

[@RandyMagnum09]

turning up my Bitrate to 20,000 helped me out A LOT. Thanks for making this video!!!

[@VTWam]

Well this helped a ton, my pc is literally build for gaming/streaming and recording, and my obs quality was super low for some reason, Thank you

[@liberty0831]

Thanks so much! Coming from someone who needs to screen record edits, this is a lifesaver!

[@shinoasada4590]

After ages of looking hours of searching finally something worked!

[@mukhtarabdi824]

Thanks for the video. I was wondering what king of magnifier/zoom in tool are you using?

[@slurptech]

Adobe Premiere Keyframes - Ease out the first keyframe, ease in the second keyframe.
You can set up keyboard shortcuts to apply the ease in and out effect to make it easier

[@gamingwithchintu8038]

Thank you so much!! I never thought I could get better quality by doing these small trick thanks for valuable content

[@robiezoe]

I WAS AT THE LOWEST QUALITY UNTIL I FOUND UR VID TYSM

[@LuJoGamer]

You get the best qualaty when you cgo to encoder setting and go to rate control and click CQP , then clik the CQ level , so lower that level so higher is your qualaty , i have 14
Theats best

Dang bro thank you you are the goat🐐🐐🐐

Come on. That simple. Excellent video, short and it worked

[@c0untrr]

Thanks! perfect vid.

[@seanyworld6752]

i found that if yyou dont have the encorder settings, you just change the video encoder or just change in the streaming setting cuz the video encorder with copy it

[@NoWay.17]

My encoder doesn’t even have a cbr setting it just says ABR

[@JamesYTLyrics]

try updating your obs

[@Leusiom1]

This worked thanks

[@mgab-x6e]

thank you! it worked!

[@Dcutemike]

[@Cocoyasui]

i ve seen so many videos but nothing seems to work for me , might be a problem with pc/internet at this point idk
i have an amd cpu 5600x and amd gpu 6650xt .. internet upload speed is 10 mb/s
not sure if these are enough for 1080p 60fps recordings

[@VilgeYT]

I think that you should get better internet😊

[@Cheesykid]

I can’t find the encoder menu? I am genuinely considering giving up on obs because I have spent the whole day trying to fix I need some help!

[@ItzFlairon]

its i the streaming settings

[@YoMythic_official]

Does this fix the lag when your recording? Cuz I havent done the settings yet and when i rec (in roblox bedwars) i lag so does this also fix the lag not only quality? Anyone who tryed this settings RESPOND PLS

[@SeniorHeel]

I have the same issue with my 2020 budget HP Laptop, did you remedy this? Is the problem with my ancient laptop?

[@taylor-oz3pc]

will 30 fps look almost the same as 60 fps when its sped up by 3 times?

[@cliclearningcenter]

It works. Thank you

[@tgfeyt]

Putting on 8000 bit rate compared to 10000 help drastically from 40 percent cpu to 4.5

[@greenbean783]

THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@cerdobueno]

Si is better CBR or CQB?

[@boostedmusics5298]

Thank you So Much!!

What if the choice of Rate control is CBR, ABR, VBR, or CFR, and no CQP?
