It’s best to stick to “15 – 20” but it can go as low as “0”. Next is “Use Custom x264 parameters: crf=x” where X is a number, the lower the number the better quality, but also the more CPU usage it will use and the bigger file it will output. Of course you can pick any option from the drop down menu to get the best performance, play around with it. It’s best to use Ultrafast but if you notice stuttering when recording you might want to stick with Very Fast. First off, is “x264 CPU Preset: Veryfast” This is a dropdown menu with multiple options. Now lets move onto the Advanced Options.Īlright, moving right a long to the last section of interest here is the “Advanced Options” section. i.e your output device might be some headphones you use and the input device would be a Mic like a Blue Snowball etc. For most people, this is alright but if you are more experienced you can pick a custom audio output and input device. Both of these should be on default by default. “Desktop Audio Device” and “Microphone/Auxiliary Audio Device”.

You shouldn’t have to change anything else here, let’s move onto the Audio Settings.Īlright, in this section we are going to want to look at two options. This will make all videos you record output in 60 Frames Per Second. If your computer can run The Sims 4 at 60FPS then where you see “30” change that to “60”. In video settings there is really only one option we are going to change here, and that is the framerate option. Now press okay and you’re done with this section! This will make The Sims 4 Window fill the screen when recording removing the black bars you would otherwise get. The only other option we want on this list is “Stretch Image To Screen”. The name might appear differently for you depending on if you’re using 32bit but the TS4 part will always be there so look for that. After that this window will pop up.Īt the top there is a dropdown list, you will want to select the program you will be using for this. This name can be whatever you want though I tend to name it the name of the game I’ll be using. As there are multiple options here and we don’t have time to go over all of them we are going to select “Game Capture” a window will pop up again to provide a name. Only one option will pop up initially, however over the one option and more options will appear. Now move over to the “Source” section and right click. This is useful if you have multiple videos with differnt layouts but more on that later.Īfter giving it a name you will see it added to the “Scene List”. Go ahead and give it a name, I often name it something like “Let’s Play” or “Current Household”. The first option will be “Add Scene” you will want to click on this and then the following will pop up. Right clicking in the “Scene Area” will bring up a list of options. This program lets YOU control what you want to record rather than telling you what you can record at one time. When first installing the program and launching it you will be greeted with this screen.
