S… Speaker 2 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

What's going on,

0:00

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

guys? Today, I'm going to quickly show you how you can take the video quality of your recordings

0:04

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

from looking blurry,

0:05

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

blotchy,

0:06

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

and choppy to crystal clear in a matter of moments.

0:09

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

We're going to be using OBS Studio to implement these settings.

0:13

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

So the first thing we're going to want to do is head over to the right -hand side,

0:16

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

select the settings button,

0:18

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

then go to video,

0:19

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

and we're going to want to check our base and output canvas resolutions.

0:23

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

As you can see,

0:24

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

for me, I have it set to 1920 by 1080 for both of these.

0:29

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

making gaming videos,

0:30

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

you're going to want to have more frames in your video so that it looks smoother.

0:33

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

So for your common FPS values type,

0:36

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

you're going to want to make sure that that is set to 60.

0:38

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

Once you have that done,

0:39

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

go ahead and select apply and OK.

0:41

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

And then the next thing I'm going to do is just quickly add my gameplay capture card source.

0:46

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

So in my sources section,

0:47

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

I'm going to select the plus button,

0:49

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

add a video capture device source,

0:50

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

select capture card.

0:52

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

Then I'm going to choose the device dropdown and select my capture card,

0:55

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

which is the Live Gamer 4K 2 .1.

0:57

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

Once I do that,

0:58

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

it'll pop right up.

0:59

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

And if I scroll down here just a little bit,

1:00

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

instead of using the default device resolution type,

1:03

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

I'm actually going to make that custom.

1:05

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

And within here,

1:06

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

I can set my resolution to be all the way up to 4K.

1:10

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

That's if I'm playing my game in 4K quality,

1:12

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

which means it is passing through the capture card.

1:15

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

and my computer can handle it.

1:17

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

Go this route because you'll have more pixels that you can then condense down into

1:21

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

a 1080p image,

1:22

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

making your image sharper.

1:24

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

If you find that doing 4K is not an option,

1:26

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

then go ahead and select the 1920 by 1080 option.

1:29

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

That will still look very good.

1:31

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

For our FPS,

1:32

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

we can set that to 60.

1:34

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

Video format,

1:35

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

you can honestly leave at any,

1:36

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

but please make sure that MJPEG is not selected if it

1:40

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

is an option for you as the data quality that's being passed is much better.

1:44

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

lower as for the color space you can set that direct 709 for the color range

1:48

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

you can set that to full once you've set those go ahead and select okay and

1:53

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

now the next thing we're going to want to do is set our recording settings so to

1:57

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

do that we're going to head over back to our settings then go to the output

2:01

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

tab and instead of being in the simple output mode we're going to jump in to

2:05

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

the advanced mode once you're in here select the recording tab and

2:10

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

then

2:10

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

the type you can keep that at standard recording path that's going to be wherever you

2:14

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

want your video files to save on your computer recording format is pretty

2:18

S… Speaker 2 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

important

2:20

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

I would recommend keeping it at hybrid MP4.

2:23

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

So your video will save in a .MP4 format,

2:27

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

but this format will also utilize the crash resilient capabilities

2:31

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

that MKV comes with and is easily usable across a

2:35

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

variety of editing software.

2:36

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

As for the video encoder,

2:38

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

there are really only two primary options that I would really recommend going with.

2:42

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

If you don't have a dedicated graphics card,

2:44

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

such as one from Nvidia or AMD,

2:47

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

then I'd recommend using the encoder of your

2:49

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

your integrated graphics on your CPU.

2:51

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

So for AMD chips,

2:52

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

you would choose AMD HW H .264 and Intel

2:57

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

would be quick sync H .264.

2:59

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

But if you do have that graphics card,

3:01

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

then you're gonna wanna go with the NVEC H .264 option.

3:04

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

And for me,

3:05

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

I have my graphics card from Nvidia.

3:06

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

So I'm gonna go with this.

3:08

S… Speaker 2 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

Up next,

3:08

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

we're gonna wanna head over to our encoder settings below.

3:11

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

And for our rate control,

3:13

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

we're actually not gonna have this at constant bit rate.

3:17

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

you're gonna wanna change this to constant QP,

3:20

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

which is also known as CQP or constant quantization

3:24

S… Speaker 2 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

parameter.

3:25

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

Why are we using this over constant bit rate?

3:27

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

Well, CQP guarantees a visual quality that

3:31

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

is uniform across the entire video.

3:34

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

So it doesn't matter if graphics in your gameplay are still or have extreme

3:38

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

motion, CQP is gonna make sure it looks good either way.

3:41

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

The best number to set your constant QP at is 20 if you're doing 1080p

3:46

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

60.

3:46

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

and I wouldn't make it any higher than 22,

3:49

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

but something to keep in mind is that the lower you make this number,

3:53

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

the better your quality will be,

3:55

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

but the larger your file sizes will be as well.

3:59

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

20 is the sweet spot.

4:00

S… Speaker 2 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

Keyframe interval,

4:01

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

you can keep that at zero,

4:02

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

but I will say as a best practice,

4:04

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

you should change it to two for a better editing experience.

4:07

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

The preset,

4:08

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

I would keep that at P5.

4:10

S… Speaker 2 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

Tuning.

4:11

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

Keep that at high quality.

4:12

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

For the multi -pass mode,

4:14

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

you can update that to be full resolution.

4:16

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

Profile,

4:17

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

you can remain that at high.

4:18

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

Look ahead and adapt the quantization.

4:20

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

You can keep that checked off and B -frames at two is perfectly all right.

4:24

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

And now that our settings are looking peachy,

4:27

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

we can go ahead and select apply and okay.

4:29

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

And now I want you guys to go ahead and test these settings out for yourself

4:34

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

and let me know in the comment section below how you're looking.

4:37

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

Now, in the chance that your gameplay is not looking smooth and you're experiencing choppiness

4:42

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

and encoder overload issues,

4:43

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

you're going to want to go back into your settings,

4:46

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

go into the recording tab,

4:47

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

and then back down where we set the multi -pass mode.

4:51

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

We originally had that set to full resolution two passes.

4:54

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

You're going to want to select that dropdown and choose single pass instead.

4:58

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

For my integrated graphics people,

5:00

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

you can adjust the preset to balanced or speed to have your system

5:04

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

use less resources by encoding the video.

5:07

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

faster go ahead and apply those changes select okay try

5:11

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

to do another recording and see if it looks as good as mine now let me know if you guys

5:15

S… Speaker 1 (Best OBS Settings for RECORDING in 2026 (Perfect Quality))

have any questions and I'll catch you in the next one peace
