#bitrate

OBS's default bitrate, 2500kbps, is unfit even for 720p. It is important to set this bitrate in accord with your resolution, framerate and upload speed.

⚠️please check this regularly (including right now) because OBS tends to reset this bitrate to 2500 on certain changes.

Twitch has a cap of 6000kbps Youtube has an arbitrarily high cap Here's some easy numbers:

9000 for 1080p60 (youtube only)

6000 for 1080p30, 1080p60 (twitch, low movement) 900p60 (twitch, high movement)

4500 for 720p60

3000 for 720p30

(twitch) If you're a mod/viewer and the stream you're watching is blocky, you can check for yourself if the streamer is streaming at an appropriate bitrate for their resolution/fps by clicking on the gear in the bottom right, then going to 'advanced' then turning on 'video stats'. Look at the 'playback bitrate'. Average it out since it can peak and dip significantly above and below the set bitrate.

Bitrates can be changed while live, unlike resolution or fps.

⚠️When informing a streamer about a mismatch in bitrate, use common courtesy! Streamers are often glad to hear about technical problems they can fix, like mismatched audio, but this is a little more niche so it might not click right away, and this might derail the stream.

Setting it up your bitrate:

(or else, thank you for your attention!)

fUCK U FINEi can’t believe my roommate is trying to call me out on anonbut here have my transformers oc they are a furry that is all

Bitter shows how many of the available bits are being used by the audio signal, reports clipping samples, and estimates when digital-to-analog conversion would cause inter-sample clips. Typical uses for a bitscope include: verifying that a render dither is working properly; verifying that a particular plugin is not reducing the signal bit depth; testing for faulty audio source…
