I don't add any filters or effects, as I add those in editing for recorded videos. I use Prores 422 LT for the codec, as my video work is not complex enough to need anything higher in terms of quality, but I like having uncompressed footage to edit with. OBS settings are a topic unto themselves, so guess what? That will be a future post 😁.\n\nI have been looking at other commercial options, but haven't made the switch yet.","links":[{"label":"Buy","url":"https://obsproject.com/"}],"fields":{"current":true}}
