|-
|| '''Visual Cue'''
|| '''Narration'''
|-
|| '''Slide''': Title
|| Welcome to the '''spoken tutorial''' on '''Audio and Output settings'''
|-
|| '''Slide''': Learning Objectives
|| In this tutorial, we will learn to '''configure''':
* '''Video '''settings
* '''Output '''settings and
* '''Audio '''settings

|-
|| '''Slide: '''OS and Versions

|| '''OBS Studio '''can '''run''' on any of the following operating systems''':'''

* '''Microsoft Windows 8''' or higher versions
* '''GNU/Linux OS 18.04 '''or higher''' '''and
* '''Mac OS X 10.13 '''or higher versions

|-
|| Slide:
|| This tutorial is recorded using
* '''Windows 10'''
* and '''Firefox web browser'''.

You can use any '''web browser''' of your choice.
|-
|| Slide: High Quality videos

|| In order to produce'''high-quality videos''', it is important to understand:

* How'''video resolution''' matches to'''canvas aspect ratio '''and
* How to avoid'''resampling audio tracks'''.

|-
|| Slide: What is Video resolution
||
* '''Video resolution''' is the image size visible to the viewer.
* Its width and height in'''pixels''' is called ''''Video Resolution''''.
* Usually, a video plays in'''full resolution''' on the'''screen'''.
* It is wise to make'''videos compatible''' with common video players. For eg:'''VLC Player'''

|-
|| Slide: What is Audio Sample rate
|| What is '''Audio Sample rate'''? * Each sound '''stream''' consists of a number of

'''digit samples flow. '''

* That number must exceed at least twice the''' highest frequency''' of the '''sound stream'''.
* Human ears can recognize '''frequencies''' upto '''20000 Hz'''.
* Hence, the most common '''audio sample rates''' are '''44100 Hz''' and '''48000 Hz'''.

|-
|| Only Narration
|| Now let us learn how to set'''video resolution''' for our'''recording.'''

I have already opened the'''OBS studio interface '''in my system.

Please do so on your system.
|-
|| Click on the '''Settings''' button

Point towards the '''Settings''' dialog box
|| At the bottom right, click on the '''Settings''' button.

The '''Settings''' dialog box pops up.
|-
|| Click on the '''Video''' tab

Hover over each option as per the narration
|| On the left side panel, click on the '''Video''' tab.

Under the '''Video''' tab on the right side, 4 options are displayed.
|-
|| Slide: Video Options
|| '''Base (Canvas) Resolution '''defines the Canvas preview aspect ratio and '''Canvas size'''.

'''Output (Scaled) Resolution '''defines the main '''Output resolution.'''

'''Downscale Filter''' specifies the '''filters''' used in '''scale operations'''.

This '''filter''' changes how '''OBS''' shrinks the '''video'''.

It decides what details are to be kept and which to discard in the '''video'''.

'''Common FPS Values '''specifies sets of''' frame rates (fps).'''

It is the '''rate''' at which OBS Studio will '''render''' its output.
|-
|| Click on the drop down next to '''Base (Canvas) Resolution'''

Select '''1920 x 1080'''
|| Now on the '''OBS interface''', click on the drop-down next to '''Base (Canvas) Resolution.'''

'''Resolution''' options are displayed.

I will select '''1920 x 1080.'''
|-
||

Type, 1920 x 1080
|| Next, we will change the value of our '''Output (Scaled) Resolution.'''

We want our '''output''' to be the same size as the''' Canvas resolution.'''

So, I will type '''1920 x 1080''' here.
|-
|| Click on the drop down next to '''Downscale Filter '''>>''' '''select '''Bilinear'''

Select '''30fps'''
|| Click on the drop-down next to '''Downscale Filter '''and select '''Bilinear.'''

Under '''Common FPS Values, '''I will select '''30fps.'''
|-
|| Click on the '''Apply''' button >> click on the '''OK''' button
|| Click on the '''Apply''' button and then on the '''OK''' button at the bottom of the window.
|-
|| '''Controls >> Start Recording''' button

|| Under the '''Controls''' panel on the right, click on the '''Start Recording''' button.

Minimize the '''screen''' and record any other window of your choice.
|-
|| Open Firefox web browser >> '''Spoken Tutorial website'''.
|| I am '''recording''' my '''Firefox web browser''' screen.

From the sub-menu, select any '''Player''' available on your system.

I will select''' VLC player.'''
|-
|| Only narration
|| Notice that the '''video''' is not very clear even in '''1920 x 1080 resolution.'''

The '''Downscale Filter''' has degraded the '''output quality'''.

This is done in order to '''render''' the '''video''' quickly.
|-
|| Switch to '''OBS''' >> click on '''Settings'''

Point towards settings dialog box
|| Go back to the'''OBS''' window.

At the bottom right under '''Controls, '''click on the '''Settings''' button.

|| Now, go to the same screen as we did earlier.

Here, I have already opened the '''Spoken tutorial website.'''
|-

|-
|| Point towards '''Downscale filter''' option
|| Depending on the '''video quality''' and '''file size''' we can adjust the '''Downscale filter''' option.

'''Downscale filter '''can be adjusted according to:
* '''Video quality'''
* '''File size'''
