Had to pause just to comment how refreshing it is to hear someone speak so clear and concise, no irrelevant speech, straight to the point just flawless
I was amazed as well. No pointless introductions, no fluff, straight to the important bits, concise and precise, this guy is the standard for explanation videos!
dude, thank you. I lost about 3 hours worth of recording because I couldn't fix the quality unless I put in tons of manual work with clips I already spent hours editing. I watched other videos and not a single one told me i'd have to do everything manually if I didn't already record in 2k you are a beautiful person and you didn't take 80 years to get to the point thank you!
hey was curious and maybe you could help me ive been trying to do this method for a while, it seems i change almost all the other settings like output and video to 1440p but when i try change the resolution on my elgato to 1440p its capped at 1080 do you know how to fix this? it also caps my monitor to 1080p when its a 1440p res mon
I prefer CQP to CBR. Since I am recording gameplay and action videos, it scales bitrate to achieve desired quality depending upon motion. The look ahead feature plays a big part. Storage is much more efficient at around a gigabyte per minute with the settings I use. During scenes with fast movement the bitrate will typically go over 100,000 kbps, while scenes with little to no movement drop to around 20,000 or less and there is no discernable change in quality. Cheers!
I don't see how storage is much more efficient and you are talking about 1gb/m That's insane even for a 2K recording. 25k-30k is recommended for 2k recordings, 35K if you want to go overboard. 25K recordings are about 200mb/m. Reaching 100k bitrate is just the overkill of overkills and nobody is going to notice a difference.
Not sure if you keep checking your comments anyways I just wanted to let you know that your vids helped me like a lot. Honestly you are a true life saver. Its not like I cant figure stuff out myself im just a lazy bastard... Keep up the good work mate !👍
Dudeee thank you! I see some opposing comments down below. I would like to see you commenting back to those so we have more clarity ❤ Appreciate the well done work 👏🏻
Love your videos they are extremely helpful. I just wanted to clarify that when you set the bitrate for 16Mbps(16000kbps) this is not recording 16MB/sec to your harddrive as you mentioned in this video. 1 byte = 8 bits therefore you have to divide 16MB/sec by 8 which works out to 2MB/sec written to your hard drive. Its about 120MB for every minute of recording.
Thank you, new to recording gaming from my pc. Set OBS to record gameplay last week and the quality has been horrible. Just did a test run heading to the tower in Destiny 2, ran around, CPU usage never got above 0.8% and the recorded movement is so much better. Thanks again.
I have watched several videos now of yours and they are truly helpful and I appreciate them all. Thank you. I did want to mention something though, maybe I am wrong but I believe you have been referring to the bit rates such as 16k or 24k bit rates as being 16,000 kilobytes instead of the actual 16,000 kilobits. Usually when the symbol or abbreviation is Kb it is kilobit and KB is kilobyte. So to sum up, when you mentioned that 24,000 is 24MB or 24 megabytes per second it is actually about 3 MB/s or 3 megabytes per second. For those who do not know anyways and may never really need to know I guess all will be fine, but on a professional level I thought you may be interested in knowing this. Cheers mate and keep up the quality videos, I have learned much from them.
I made it 1090x1080 res and the uploaded video on UA-cam was 1080p,now i am gonna try to 1440p (2560x1440)setting on obs , i believe youtube res will up to 1440p now in my videos cause i want that res and my pc is new .I think OBS is a very good programm.ty so much for help.
thank you for the video, my recordings seem to be more high quality after this change (also had to make my mic audio recording mono, bc i have an XLR mono microphone) the picture looks prettier with 24000 kHz sample rate and i love how i now understand what's happening in the mixer part of OBS
+RyzingSol I am working insanely hard to get these videos out RyzingSol, so you watching helps motivate me to keep up the grind. Speaking of which, I am grinding on a bonus channel that has shorter clips for creators to learn from. Here's the playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PLhGU41axmYcDxdx2TfbNxJeRpDMunnP3H.html. Hope you find all of the answers you are looking for and good luck!
Thank you for explaining using cpu for recording everyone just says use gpu and no explanation to what really happens, While playing Ark Ascended my gpu 7900xt bottlenecks and my cpu 7800x3d is at 60 % recording with cpu added 9% I can live with that
Love the video bro! Straight to the point and love your personality! Quick Question: when I look back at the recording, it is a little choppy. Is that because the bit rate was too high and my computer couldn't process it fast enough? I had it up to 40,000 based on what someone else said for recording 2k gaming videos. I figured it was too high but tried it and got a laggy recording. I see you say to use 16 to 24,000. This should help with that and still get a good picture right?
dont know if its the same.but 11:20 i used your settings and cpu usage is 0.1% ryzen 3800x edit changed wrong. after recording change 4.2% with peaks to 5.2%
I just wondering if I can set the output scale higher than the base canvas? for example, i have native 1440x900 monitor and I want to record at 2k so I will set the output scale at 2560x1440, is it okay to do? please reply thank you!
Thanks for the help especially the encoder, I have a ryzen 9 5900x and a recording eats up 50% CPU Usage if I use x264. With the nvidia graphics card is another story, thanks for the help.
I am having an issue recording skyrim modded and I have a a very on par PC. When I start recording I get a message at bottom mentioning encoding and the end result is very framy choppy footage
400 views? you deserve much much more! i watched just 2 of your videos and learned something from both! take my sub! but i now have some issue with streaming with OBS. it works from good to ok to really bad between games. is that normal?
oh i just got a bigger issue... OBS suddenly stop sending signal for stream. i mean like the green box at the bottom right next to the fps, literally showing 0 obs would start the stream in youtube and in like 5 seconds, the stream would end because the signal from obs stopped. hope you could help me
thanks SO MUCH. i swear my videos looked like they were recorded in a fricking toaster until i saw this. thx SO MUCH dude now people don't have to watch my toaster gameplay. unfortunately my pc has amd graphics card not nvidia so i gotta fork over 400 bucks to nvidia for the nvenc encoder 😑
7:22 You said "16 megabytes per second", that was not only the wrong unit of data, but the wrong conversion as well. 16,000 Kbps is 16,000 kiloBITS per second, not kiloBYTES per second. Streaming at 16,000 kilobits per second would convert to 2,000 kilobytes per second. You are off by 14,000 kilobytes per second, and as a self proclaimed "digital marketing executive" who apparently consults 'multi-million dollar deals and streamers making six-figures' as you put it, you are erroneously consulting them incorrect information and making them plan their business/go-to-market strategy by 14,000 kilobytes, which is really, really bad if you quantify it.
Overall a very good and easy to understand guide. But I have a problem - The image is just blurry (and I am not talking about the low bitrate thing) it relates to the video preview-Image as well as to the recording image as well as when I stream. The image is just not sharp. I have set all the resolutions in the settings to 2560x1440p. The only setting where I can not choose this is in the presets for the source, there I can only choose between a 4k resolution (in which case I don't get a signal because my monitor is not capable) or I can choose 1920x1080p which works. There is also an option to choose "high" but I don't know what that means exactly. Tried everything anyway, but nothing seems to change the blurriness of the image. Do you know how I could fix that?
I was able to fix it, I don't know why I didn't see this before, but there was a check-box in the source-preset window that says "use presets". When I disabled this, I was able to manually choose a different preset-resolution - in my case 2560x1440. So now that really ALL resolutions are set to the same size, the image is crisp and clear!
do you have nvidia card or amd card? if its amd, make sure you have latest radeon drivers installed and updated. in my case its amd radeon vega 3 card and drivers are version 31.0
Im not able to paste anything into the output video resolution. Only getting the drop down menu, and 1080p is max... I tried both "right clicking" and "CTRL+V", and ive tried both with the dropdown menu open and closed, but nothing happens...
so is that the computer you use? Just wondering, as a PC with More cores and... well... I guess just newer, would probably be able to handle that load. I record Forza at 4K on my 5950x, and it seems to run just fine. EDIT: Yeah Just Double checked with RE3:Remake, and it maxes out at like 44.2% when in game, shooting at zombies, plenty of stuff on screen, in the menus it drops to like 25%. And its Crispy!
Nooo you need anything under 1080p when your streaming. I do 960 when I stream at 6k bitrate. This is for twitch. You can't really stream in 2k. If you doo it will look really bad because of bitrate limitations. On twitch when you reach partner you get to use more bitrate so you can stream in 1080p.

I was super excited to finnaly have permission to hit OK! Awesome tutorial and amazing results - thank you so much!
Great video, thanks my guy. That BR info was exactly what I was looking for. Also learned something from you about the encoding. THanks again
Super informative tutorial. Very good!! Thanks. Concise and to the point without extraneous chatter..
This fixed my PROBLEMS! subbed!!!
the most helpful obs video ive actually watched before
i just started getting into recording and thanks to your videos i'm learning at an incredible rate thank you for your effort and i just subbed
thanks for the video . I think the latest OBS version has changed some of the settings / menus
I made it 1090x1080 res and the uploaded video on UA-cam was 1080p,now i am gonna try to 1440p (2560x1440)setting on obs , i believe youtube res will up to 1440p now in my videos cause i want that res and my pc is new .I think OBS is a very good programm.ty so much for help.
This helped me so much for 2k recording thank you so much!
Thank you sir, exactly what I needed.
Thank you so much for this man.
Thank you for the clear explanation, i liked it
Dude thank you
thank you for the video, my recordings seem to be more high quality after this change
(also had to make my mic audio recording mono, bc i have an XLR mono microphone)
the picture looks prettier with 24000 kHz sample rate and i love how i now understand what's happening in the mixer part of OBS
Amazing.. This was so easy way. Thank's!!!
amazing video i cant believe its so easy , thank you
i cant get audio now tho but the video setting are fire :)
man you are the best thankyou
Great video my friend!
Does this work even if you don't have a 1440p monitor?
you helped me a lot man thanks
This was actually good
Oh wow, thank you soooo much. Typing the resolution was a saver!!
why are you setting the downscalling when you are recording and saving in the same resolution.? On my OBS it says no downscalling necessary
That is a great help video mate congrats. I hope you earn more.
Thanks man!
What are the settings to put it at 4k?
Thank you for the helpful guide!

Always go for CQP if you don't care about space

Sick tutorials brother
coolest teacher
Thank YOU so much, this will help me ALOT with my fortnite videos!
It sucks that we have to manually enter the resolution
Thank you SO much. This is the only 1080p 30 fps video tutorial I can find. This helped a TON!
how is this shit 1080p 💀
can u do this with a 1080p monitor?
Thanks for the help especially the encoder, I have a ryzen 9 5900x and a recording eats up 50% CPU Usage if I use x264. With the nvidia graphics card is another story, thanks for the help.
So underrated
Will a ryzen 5 with a 2060 and 16g ram but good enough to stream and record 2k?
Before I do all this, can the Mac book Pro handle this I got the 16” 10 g of ram. 1TB version.
I am having an issue recording skyrim modded and I have a a very on par PC. When I start recording I get a message at bottom mentioning encoding and the end result is very framy choppy footage
Also, curious about what the max bitrate would be? You said 24,000 kbps was the minimum for 60fps, then what would be the maximum bitrate?
thank you so much!
Does this work for Samsung Odyssey g7 as well as a 1440p gaming Monitor?
frikken fantastic!
If you have monitor like 1080p 60fps you can upgrade the setting for record in 2k? Or I’m need another monitor like 2k resolution?
400 views? you deserve much much more!

When I heard 24,000 kbps. I instantly knew my pc will have a stroke 😂
thank you so much, i was over here freaking out thinking this would destroy my pc but it turns out it only uses 0.6% of my CPU when i record valorant
thanks SO MUCH. i swear my videos looked like they were recorded in a fricking toaster until i saw this. thx SO MUCH dude now people don't have to watch my toaster gameplay. unfortunately my pc has amd graphics card not nvidia so i gotta fork over 400 bucks to nvidia for the nvenc encoder 😑
How do you do the pointers in your video? Is there a separate app or hardware to do it?
+Cam Alliance epic pen
Wow amazing
cqb is actually better then cbr when it comes to recording i would only use cbr for streaming
I do this, but then when I compress the video in handbrake and then upload it to UA-cam, it only uploads in 1080p😥
can you "renew" this video, as options have changed.
the resolution, on top of everything else is grayed out and i cannot change it, anyone know why?
