*maximum ‘replay time’* –>

*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″* –>

.

*4 OPTIONS FOR ‘RECORDING QUALITY’ OF ‘OBS RECORDINGS’* –>

.

*if you select ‘same as stream’* –>

.

*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)
