Can you make one video for streaming live Gameplays on RU-vid 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 RU-vidr 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.
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... 👌
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.
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!
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.
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.
Your explanation is great, but I have a doubt: if 1440p at CQP 20 results in a high bitrate of around 150,000, and RU-vid'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 RU-vid, and it looks good. However, when watching the video in 1080p, it seems like some details are missing. I've seen a lot of RU-vidrs' 1440p videos that still look super good when viewed in 1080p.
@@Peaky456 Did you upload to RU-vid in 1440P? Uploading any resolution above 1080p forces RU-vid to encode the video on their end to VP9 codec, which is a much better codec than H.264 that RU-vid uses for 1080p or lower-resolution uploads. You can also upload in 4K to RU-vid which will force VP9 and also downsamples the 4K to 1440p 1080p, 720p etc... This will make the 1080p video on RU-vid appear much more detailed.
@@ExtremelySimplified Yes I uploaded a 1440p video, but when I compared it, the quality still seems low. I’ll give you the link so you can watch this video, I even watched 720p still more detailed, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VpKwD5XCXg8.html I record usually in simple mode, it choose auto, so original video lossless quality but 1440p video bitrate come like 100k, but for youtube only 60,000, more that this we upload in 1440p i think it will be pixelated no use more than that bitrate so help me
Thanks for the super informative video! It's got me thinking about NVENC HEVC. When I'm uploading to platforms like RU-vid or TikTok, does the upload get converted to H.264? Appreciate your input on this!
No problem. Actually RU-vid accepts a lot of codecs: MPEG-4, H.264, H.265, VP9 and AV1. (Maybe even other codecs but I don't know for sure). After uploading to RU-vid, RU-vid will convert the video into multiple resolutions (from 8K all the way to 144p). Now, the codec that RU-vid uses depends on multiple factors: 1. The resolution of the video; if the video has a resolution of 1440p or higher, it will get converted to VP9 automatically. Otherwise it will get converted to H.264. 2. the views on the video; if the video got a lot of attraction after publishing, it will likely be converted to VP9 even if the video resolution is lower than 1440p. 3. if the video gets really viral in the first 24 hours, it will get converted to AV1 codec. it doesn't necessarily need to be in the first 24 hours but I've seen a lot of videos that get AV1 very early. 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.
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.
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.
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
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 RU-vid 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?
HEVC is just h265 and even older cards capable of recording if they can encode in that AV1 is new but most old tech is not supported and you can try but it wont last long and as if at all and dont use CBR cause its consistant meaning if you do nothing the bit rate would pile on anyways thats what VBR or CQP is for they both variable bit rathe but CQP is simplified and would use more then maximum depends on the level cause the lower the CQ level the more bit rate to the point you can have 350mbps bit rate and thats way too much where even 80mbps for 1080p should be enough for 1080p 25mbps is acceptable 50mbps is balanced between ultra and not too much storage space demand but bit rate scales with resolution so keep that in mind if youre not sure it can depend on the game and whats happening on the screen so thats what experimenting and checking stats is for and that includes video editor parameters if its even capable of reading the file cause not all editing software has variaty of encoder and format support and im looking at davinci resolve and i like and hate that software at the same time
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.
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.
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.
@@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
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.
It's not true that CQ(P) gives you smallest filesize, it's the exact opposite. It's very inefficient, but it gives highest quality out of VBR and CBR. Unfortunately, VBR does not work well on Nvidia nvenc, 2-pass is broken, it does not take entire source in to consideration, only previous frame... that's why VBR most likely will be same as CBR (except no motion will be smaller, but barely will deviate from target VBR bitrate, which is actually performing like ABR...), so yeah, than you only have CQP in OBS, but for recording, I'd use rigaya's nvenc encoder and use QVBR for smallest filesize with highest quality. CQP can easily take 2-3x more bitrate for fast moving while VMAF is not even 1% better than QVBR... ICQ is 2x more efficient/smaller filesize than CQP for a bit better quality, but that's Intel's proprietary solution... For obs streaming and recording, I'd stick with VBR. Max bitrate doesn't do much with this broken implementation anyway, then use QVBR to re-encode in smaller size, but only if you have set it > 25MB/s to get as close as source as possible... That scientific study that is done concluded the same regarding CQP and masses still cheer for CQP, but you already know, the masses are always wrong. Just pissing away 3x storage space for same image quality GG. For streaming, end point has max bitrate, so you can not use CQP anyway, because you have zero control over bitrate.
And to add to that, for recording, you want 0 bframes, no lookahead, no psycho visual tuning, profile main10, single pass, p7 (highest quality), keyframe each second and VBR 25MB/s (which is 200000 kbps). This way, you get highest quality recording. Cut in LosslesCut (notice the 1 second keyframe, this is important when editing video). Then re-encode with rigaya's nvenc encoder with qvbr. Job done. Personally, I use advanced options with ffmpeg additional args with strict_gop=true and b_ref_mode=disabled, the rest of options have been added by OBS, which I used in args as well in the past, so seems like OBS knows about quality. I can only vouch for CQP for high grain recordings, otherwise NEVER use this option. You might as well encode on x264 with cpu for highest settings, there is a reason why avc is not used anymore (too high cost), only for purists it's still used... Personally, I'd go with compression efficiency foremost, followed by quality and lastly encoding speed. A good balance is key, you get highest quality with smallest filesize. Good luck.
@@MrNans Hey Hans. In OBS use VBR, always (unless they add more rate controls, like QVBR). Bitrate to be used is very use case specific, following things must be taken in to consideration: resolution, fps, fast motion, lots of details/grain, etc. I give example what I use to episodically record non-copyrighted iptv broadcast (it outputs 1080p 25fps -> cap card -> obs). Obs settings for this: Output -> Recording [Advanced]: Type = custom output (ffmpeg) | container format = matroska | video bitrate = 25000 kbps | keyframe interval = 5 | video encoder = hevc_nvenc | video encoder settings = gpu=1 preset=p7 tune=hq profile=main10 rc=vbr rc-lookahead=0 b_ref_mode=disabled 2pass=false multipass=disabled strict_gop=true bf=0 refs=16 | audio bitrate = 320 kbps | audio encoder = libopus As you can see, the most important thing is having NO bframes, they detoriate image quality A LOT, but gives better compression, but this is not necessary when streaming or recording to re-encode later on. You can also see I have 2 gpus in my system, I use nvenc chip on second gpu to encode, but if you only got one gpu, remove "gpu = 1". Keyframe each 0.2 second (25 fps / 5 frames => 0.2s), so can easily cut in LosslessCut app parts I need (as name implies is lossless, so no quality loss, i.e. it does not re-encode). Despite main10 profile, it still uses 8-bit, but will convert to 10-bit later on, even when no 10 bits are used, it has access to more address space, thus better compression. 16 reference frames to get best quality, it's compatible with almost any playback device during decoding. Opus codec for audio, it's proven much better than aac. Always use matroska format, it won't corrupt file when intermediately stopped, unlike mp4, which also suffers from index needing to be fixed to start in order to get seek working. EDIT: Typo fixed.
now theres a fragmented setting for MP4 what is this and is fragmented any good if its being fragmented? i don't want my video being choppy or have random fragments missing I'm confused I'm new to this please help
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?
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.
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 RU-vid 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, RU-vid 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: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-c9tT4yXPJmQ.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.
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
