The first 30 seconds of the video helped me with my problem. I kept getting a blank screen when trying to record gameplay but once I ran as administrator everything worked fine! Thanks for the help!

[@Be.honest.]

Same here the game was crashing everytime

[@odd4506]

im tired of all of these obs guides completely forgetting that AMD cards exist, so here are some good output settings for an amd card. Encoder: H264/AVC Encoder (AMD Advanced Media Framework) Preset: Recording Quality Present: Balanced Rate Control Method: Variable Bitrate Target Bitrate: 35000 Peak Bitrate: 50000 Keyframe Interval: 2 these are just the best settings for my pc that i found. my gpu is an rx 570 and my cpu is an intel core i5 3470, and using these recording settings, it doesnt take too much fps off of my games. The amount of data that will be used for these settings is 3 MB per second of recording. hope this helps, finding good amd settings is annoying because people forget that amd cards even exist when making obs tutorials lol.

[@sumerthyme8803]

In the first few seconds you have provided me with a gem, which I haven't seen before in dozens of about OBS videos I watched.... I've been going through the process of left clicking and opening as administrator every time..... WHY? ..... Keep making videos Please ! and Thank you.

[@Aradze]

This is dope now can you make a part 2 of getting the file to the editing software

[@Jeremehhh]

a tip that helped me a lot: when i record on OBS and using fractional FPS value, you can change whatever FPS you want from 120 up to 480 (your choice and if your pc/laptop can handle it) but after or before recording, turn off the preview so while you are recording you wont feel the screen lag.

[@alorianimz87]

If you know please tell me how to add devices that use USB on PC! I accidentally disabled them not knowing what I was doing and I'm not sure how to add them back, I'm about to go crazy 😧

[@Jeremehhh]

@@alorianimz87 not sure about that, i haven't gotten issues on mine so I haven't really searched a problem yet. Maybe in some videos in YT it might help

I can't thank this guy enough. Thank you. It was quick and easy. 🎉

[@Coleo20]

Bit of a heads up: I ran into issues with recording my microphone audio. I was clearly getting levels in OBS, but wasn't hearing the mic audio when I played it back. I was reviewing the clips in VLC media player, and that program only seems to play one audio track at a time. So, if you run into this issue, just right click the playback screen in VLC, go to Audio and select Track 2, and you can check your Mic audio as well. Not sure if this is the same for other players.

[@LapizMC]

Thanks this helped me very much :)

The way you speak like how you give all the information one could ask for and yet still be clear and concise while you deliver that information and demonstrate everything as you narrate is actually amazing. I feel like I can absorb all the information you provide in one go and learn. Save time and do what I want after. Subbed and liked. Thank you for making this video.

Dang, it just hit me with going straight to the point and I was honestly not expecting that XD This is definitely a rare thing on instruction videos and I will definitely use this video for later when I'm not working since I planned on recording gameplay soon 👌

you mean so that it will automatically convert the video at the end of recording?

I used to be able to just increase the size of the window and fit to transform like in your video but it doesn't work anymore. Any tips? Thank you!
