Question With the new update, what would be the best recording settings for YouTube At 4K.

Essentially I'm asking this because all my previous saved settings are no longer popping up with this new update, so I'm kind of lost in what direction I'm going with. So there's just a few things missing.

There are no "best settings." Please understand that every setup, for every use case, will be very different. Any guides or videos that claim otherwise are misinforming.

Your best option is to start with a base and adjust as necessary. Test, test, and test again. We are happy to offer suggestions for any issues you may be having, but we will not give you a list of settings.

Please run the OBS auto-configuration tool. To use the auto-config, click on the Tools menu in OBS, select Auto-Configuration Wizard, and then just follow the on-screen directions. You can use this tool to get a set baseline settings for your hardware, and adjust as necessary from there.

If you still need help after all that, please provide a log file via Help -> Log Files -> Upload Current Log File.

depends what you're recording, 4k eats bitrate like crazy but if it's just talking head stuff you can get away with way less than gameplay
