OBS Transcript

The document discusses how to set up and use the open source screen recording software OBS (Open Broadcaster Software). It explains that OBS allows you to create scenes made up of different sources like a webcam or microphone. It then guides setting up a scene with a display capture of the screen and a video capture of a webcam in the bottom right corner. It recommends outputting recordings in MKV format instead of MP4 in case of crashes, and how to quickly convert the MKV to MP4 afterwards using the remix feature in OBS.

So the way OBS works 

is you have scenes that are made up of a group of   sources so sources can be
things such as my webcam  a microphone or even a browser window something   like that a source is
going to be a source of  audio a source of video so basically we can figure   those two work together and
that creates a scene  that then will be recorded so my first thing I'm   going to configure where it's going
to record  this display that I'm actually working on and   then also include my webcam in the bottom
right  so to do that we first need to add a source we   go down to the plus right here we're going to go 
to display capture and display capture will allow   it to record any of the different display so if  you have
multiple monitors you're going to select   which monitor you wanted to record so we'll go  ahead and
press ok and then we'll go in here and   as you can see I have two monitors available I'm  going to select
the one I'm working on and I know   it has this mirror in fact I'm very sorry about  that but once I've
selected the correct monitor   or just select okay now I'm gonna go back down to  the sources I'm going
to add video capture device   press ok so once you're in here you can select  which device you'd like to
use now I'm on a laptop   and I have a USB webcam attached so I can either  select to use the webcam
that came with my laptop   or it can use my USB webcam so I'll go ahead and  select the webcam that
came on my laptop because   I'm already using the other one to record this  string as you can see it
shows a preview of the   video and then we can move it around on the screen  and decide where we
want it to be what we're   recording I'm gonna make it a little bit smaller  and then I'm gonna put it
down here on the bottom   right now you can select to move it anywhere you  want to on the top right
top left anywhere you   want to I like the bottom right once we do that I  recommend going to the my
current silly report and   just making sure all these volumes are good for  recording looks like these are
all fine so that's   perfect now basically you have a scene setup  we have a scene that encompasses both
recording   the display and embedding my webcam into that  recording so this right here is pretty much
all   that would need to record a tutorial now to get  it to start recording all I need to do is go down  
here to start recording just hit that and it will  actually start recording and you end the recording   by
selecting stop recording so I do have a couple  more tips I'd like to get into the settings here   which i
think is very important so click right  here and go to the settings so as you can hear we   can change the
scene there's things like that go  to output and in here we can select the recording   path where it's
going to save all those recordings  and then we can also select the recordings format   so as you can see
the default is a flash video and  I know what the beginning of the video has said   that I would output to
mp4 well there's another  step to get that so we're gonna select is MKV   and the reason I do that is
because if you have it  in an mp4 format and saying this application were   to crash while you were
recording you would lose  the entire video if we save it as an MKV we won't   lose the video we'll get a
copy of everything that  was up to that point where it crashed then we can   quickly convert that file to
an MP4 using OBS after we've changed the setting to MKV we're just   gonna go to OK and we'll start a
brief recording  so I can show you how to convert that quickly to   an mp4 a quick test and now to easily
convert that  MKV into an mp4 we go to file remix recordings   we're going to browse and find that file
and it's  this one right here and then I'm gonna go to remix   and as you can see right here we have the
original  MKV and then we also have an mp4 version of that   and that's how you quickly and easily
record  your computer screen for free using OBS give any   questions about this leave a comment below
I'll  get back to you as soon as I can you like to learn   how to stream your computer screen to twitch
