in this video we're gonna show you the
0:01
best settings for recording high quality
0:03
videos in OBS these settings are
0:06
suitable for gameplay videos as well as
0:08
screen recordings they apply for PCs and
0:12
first let's go to OBS and click on
0:15
settings go to the video section here
0:19
you will have to set your screen
0:20
resolution for both base and output if
0:23
you are using a 1080p monitor then set
0:25
the resolution to 1920x1080
0:28
if you are using a 1440p monitor then
0:31
set the resolution to
0:33
2560x1440 I have a 1440p monitor so I
0:37
will set mine at 2560x1440.
0:40
if the downscale filter is active then
0:44
for FPS set the FPS number that you like
0:47
if you are recording a gameplay video
0:49
then set it to 60fps for Smooth video
0:52
overall if you have a low end PC or
0:55
laptop then I would recommend 30fps I
0:58
would leave mine at 60fps here
1:01
now let's go to the output section and
1:04
change the output mode to Advanced go to
1:07
the recording tab under recording path
1:09
you can specify the destination for your
1:14
for recording format don't use MP4 at
1:17
all costs and instead use MKV now I know
1:20
that MP4 is the most compatible format
1:23
for everything however if you chose MP4
1:25
and couldn't stop the recording safely
1:27
for example if you had the blue screen
1:30
of death on Windows or the power went
1:32
off then your recorded video will be
1:34
lost and not recovered with MKV you can
1:37
easily use the recorded video Until the
1:39
point where the power went off if you
1:41
have a problem with the MKV format not
1:43
being recognized in your video editor I
1:46
will show you an easy way to convert it
1:47
to MP4 later in the video
1:50
for audio track you should be fine with
1:52
just track number one in the encoder
1:55
section x.264 is what you would find in
1:58
most tutorials I would not recommend it
2:00
unless you don't have another GPU from
2:02
Nvidia or AMD that's because it's going
2:05
to use your CPU to encode the video and
2:08
by doing that it will hinder your
2:09
performance especially if you have a
2:11
slow CPU if you have an NVIDIA GTX 10
2:14
series GPU or older choose Nvidia and
2:18
vinc.264 and if you have an RTX 20
2:20
series GPU or newer choose Nvidia and
2:23
wink hevc this is a more efficient video
2:26
project than h.264 but it requires newer
2:30
Hardware to play back and edit I have an
2:32
RTX 37t laptop GPU so I will choose havc
2:36
if you have an AMD GPU then choose
2:39
whatever AMD encoder that you see in
2:44
leave these settings as they are and go
2:46
to the encoder settings for rate control
2:48
choose cqp this is a much better way to
2:52
assign bitrate to videos than vbr or CBR
2:54
leave CQ level at 20. with this level it
2:58
will cover everything from gameplay
3:00
videos with fast motion to low motion
3:02
screen recordings all of that while
3:04
making sure you get the lowest possible
3:06
file size and that of course depends on
3:09
what's happening on the screen but when
3:11
you want even higher quality choose a
3:13
lower number like 16 or 18. this will
3:16
make the file size higher
3:18
leave keyframe interval at 2.
3:21
for preset choose best quality for
3:23
screen recordings and good quality if
3:25
you are recording gameplay videos now
3:28
it's not a rule that you have to follow
3:30
if you have a powerful GPU you can
3:32
choose best quality while recording
3:34
gameplay videos I have a somewhat
3:36
powerful GPU so I will choose best
3:38
quality for everything
3:40
for tuning leave it at high quality
3:43
now for multi-pass mode if you are
3:46
recording in 1440p or higher choose
3:48
single pass and if you are recording in
3:51
1080P or lower you can choose two passes
3:53
quarter resolution or even full
3:55
resolution I will choose full resolution
3:58
leave profile at Main don't check look
4:02
ahead and check psycho visual tuning
4:04
leave GPU at zero for Max B frames write
4:09
now let's go to the audio tab under
4:12
audio bitrate choose 320 kilobits per
4:15
second and by doing that you will get
4:18
high quality audio alongside your video
4:21
finally let's go to the audio section on
4:23
the left here we will make sure to set
4:25
the sample rate to 48 kilohertz and make
4:28
sure to set the channel to stereo
4:34
with these settings you can record in
4:36
the highest possible quality in OBS
4:38
since not everyone has the same PC specs
4:41
I would really advise you to test and
4:43
see what works for you
4:45
now I will show you an easy way to
4:47
convert MKV videos into MP4 let's say
4:50
you have these recorded videos in MKV
4:53
what we're gonna do is to go to OBS and
4:55
click on file Re Max recordings browse
4:59
where your videos at and select them
5:02
click on open and click on remarks it's
5:05
going to convert them to MP4 very
5:12
if you want OBS to remarks videos
5:15
automatically go to OBS settings head to
5:19
the advanced section and enable
5:21
automatically Remax to MP4 and that's it
5:24
a very secure way to save your videos
5:27
so that's it for this video if you found
5:29
