Set your keyframe interval to 2, preset to Quality and profile to main. I like to use 20’000 to get a slightly better image. When reducing this option to, let’s say 5000, then your recording will look washed out with less detail, but when setting it too high, then your file size will be too big and your system will have issues recording. This means that OBS will use up 10mb of storage for every second your record. Below, set the rate control to CBR which stands for constant bit rate, bitrate to around 10’000 when recording in 1080p. When using an abnormal native screen resolution then make sure to rescale your output to 1920x1080. Set your encoder to NVENC, in case you’re using a powerful enough NVIDIA Graphics card, otherwise use x264 to utilize your processor to encode your recordings. I prefer to use mp4 as my recording format, as the file size remains low compared to other formats and it’s usable in every video editing software. In case you plan on making a lot of recordings, then I suggest using a file path in your storage partition with the most space available. Under Output, set the Output Mode to Advanced and in the Recording section, set the type to standard, set the recording path to where you want your recordings to be saved. Lastly, we will take a quick look at your OBS Studio settings. You can also delete the installer application and launch OBS Studio.

After a minute or two, OBS Studio should be installed to your system. Select Browse and here, in my D: drive, I will save the application to my program files folder. Simply select Next, make sure to read through the license information and then you will have to select where to install the application on your system.

Drag and drop the downloaded installer to your desktop and then double-click the OBS Studio installer. After a few seconds the installer will be located in your download location. In my case, I will select the 64x bit download. In the window, you will be able to preview which operating system you are using. In case you’re unsure about which version you’re using, then right-click the Windows icon in your taskbar and select System.

Make sure to download the installer for Windows 32x or 64x bit, depending on the Windows 10 version on your PC.
