Title: Audio and Output settings

Author: Nikita Misal


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
  • OBS version 27.0.1
  • 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.

I will briefly record the Spoken Tutorial website.

Click on the Stop Recording button.

After recording is done, switch back to the OBS window.

Click on File

Click on Show Recordings.

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.

And click on the Stop Recording button.

Click on File >> Click on Show Recordings
