.
*ENABLE ‘REPLAY BUFFER’*

*6.649 GB*
.
*you can also set a ‘maximum memory usage’* –>
(0 MB – 8192 MB)
*8.192 GB*
.
.
*there are also ‘minimums’ associated with ‘maximums’ here*
*as in, “your maximum time period’ must be at least ‘5 seconds’ long”*
*as in, “your maximum file size’ must be at least ’81 MB’ long”*
.
.
*then navigate to ‘general settings’ tab* –>

.
*you now have the option of checking 2 check-boxes* –>

.
*go to the ‘hotkeys preferences tab’* –>

.
*scroll down + create a ‘hotkey’ for your ‘replay buffer’* –>
*sample 1* –>
[SHIFT] + [CONTROL] + [s]
.

.
*click ‘apply’ in ‘bottom left corner’ to save changes* –>

.
*in your bottom right ‘control panel’, you now have the option to ‘start replay buffer’* –>

.
*add new ‘media source’ to current scene*
.
*should you export your movies directly to ‘google drive for desktop’?*
(the ‘forum experts’ seem to discourage it)
(meaning i’ll have to take the extra step of drag/dropping OBS files)
(unless i make an ‘OBS folder’ for ‘synced files’)
.
.
*’OBS’ highly recommends that you save/export video files in ‘MKV’ file format*
(as opposed to the usual ‘MP4’)
(if your recording is interrupted, an MP4 export is more likely to delete the whole recording)
(the lower quality MKV doesn’t run the same risk)
.
*you can then automatically convert all MKV files to MP4*
.
*open ‘preferences’* –>
[COMMAND] + [ , ]

.
*select the ‘advanced tab’ in left column* –>

.
*click ‘check-box’ to “automatically re-mux to mp4″* –>

*if you select ‘high quality / medium file size’* –>

.
*if you select ‘indistinguishable quality / large file size’* –>

(same warning as before)
.
*if you select ‘lossless quality / tremendously large file size’* –>
(this time buoyed by an “are you sure?” pop-up window)
