Thanks everyone for the replies and the ideas.
So, my question is this:
OBS has the ability to set Frame Rate at whatever I want. So, lets say I set it to 30. However, the Bit Rate is variable up to say 1000kb/s. Is that effectively saying that the Frame Rate is also variable? Would increasing/decreasing the Bit Rate make my rendering slower/faster?
The other side of the coin is that MANY YouTube people use OBS. They swear by it and the bulk of them use some version of Sony Vegas. I, being new, obviously used their suggestions and settings and have the results I do now.
So, as per the suggestion, re-rendering my MP4 into what format? MP4 again or MPEG2 or AVI?
Thanks again for all the suggestions, I feel like I’m learning a lot! 🙂
