I record my screen with Quicktime for KZfaq, but when I export it from my video software editor, it only has 720 as an export option. Any way to record in 1080 or can you only do that with OBS?

@pixelandbracket 2 жыл бұрын

instead of using Export in Quicktime, trying going to File>Save. That will save the full video size, instead of compressing to smaller formats. When you use this in you're editing software, make sure you're creating a full 1080p sequence instead of creating one based on the clip. Sometimes you'll have to scale clips up if they're smaller than 1080

Is there a way to record inside the Safari browser at the correct aspect ratio 1080 for KZfaq tutorials? I am using an external monitor for my MacMini

@pixelandbracket 11 ай бұрын

So are you saying a window recording of only the browser sized at 1920x1080 or 16x9?

@andytlaird 11 ай бұрын

@@pixelandbracket sincere apologies for the late reply. I kinda solved it as Google Chrome has an extension where I simply click the size e.g. 1920x1080 and the browser resizes. As I have a 32" monitor I didn't want to capture the whole screen and videos I wish to mage are tutorials etc within the admin of WordPress

In obs the problem for me is I do a screen record and after that I can’t look at the file because something needs to be downloaded but the App Store does not have that app

You need to change the filetype that you save. In the preferences go to Output. Then in the Recording tab, change your "Recording Format" to mp4.

That’s actually what I’m using in this video. Do you have the latest M1 laptops? Maybe there’s an OBS issue there, I haven’t used any of the newest laptops yet

@tristanmartinez3237 2 жыл бұрын

I just ran into this same issue, turns out there was a pop up box that said OBS was requesting permission to record my screen, I just had to open system preferences and allow it to record and then reopen it. Maybe it’s the same problem you’re having, best of luck!

Also very possible, Apple always has you update those permissions for any new program

OBS has a bug in MacOS that blinks or flickers which seems to have been unresolvable for many years now so it makes it unfit for streaming and recording.

Following along with your vide after select Screen Capture, Audio Mixer window begins playing Soylent Green audio, will not close, cannot be closed, cannot be muted. Movie sample is louder than your video. Cannot hear you any longer. There is ONLY HATE in this fuching world.
