What bitrate should I set in OBS to avoid choppy video and screen recordings?
My OBS bitrate is around 5,000 kbps, but it should be more like 8,000–10,000 kbps.

What bitrate settings are you using for the full-screen face shot? My OBS gets choppy in that shot and also when scrolling down a page.
I'm using 5,000 bitrate, CBR (constant bit rate), not VBR (variable bit rate). I just bought a new computer which should solve this for me too, though I haven't switched over yet since I'm still transferring everything and on somewhat worse internet right now.

How does your OBS setup work for recording videos?
To run my OBS setup, I use OBS Studio as the core platform. I have a scene configuration with a few sources: my camera (Sony A7C connected via HDMI), a shadow filter for depth, screen capture of my monitor, another shadow layer, and my microphone (a Samsung QTU). I use hotkeys—Command+Shift+1 to switch to screen capture and Command+Shift+2 to return to my talking‑head view—so I can jump between full‑head, screen‑share, and blurred‑screen scenes quickly. The monitor is set up with nice margins so the OBS UI doesn’t show ugly bars, and I adjust the display resolution as needed. I keep the production simple: minimal cuts, few edits, and mostly just me in my room. This approach lets me record content at a roughly one‑to‑one ratio—five to ten minutes of recording yields five to ten minutes of finished video—because I prioritize speed over flashy production. I believe that as AI makes stunning visuals easy, audiences will value human presence and authenticity more than polished effects, so I keep the setup straightforward and focus on delivering value quickly.

What's the best tool set I should use to have the quality as yours? By tools I mean software and hardware. Microphone. Should I post‑process after recording?
Yes. Use OBS for recording. Capture at 3840×2160 (4K) resolution, set bitrate to at least 5,000 kbps. I use a Sony A7C camera, edit in Premiere Pro, and enhance audio with Oonic (available at toic.com).

What’s your setup to record these videos?
I record with OBS Studio (Open Broadcaster Software) using a Sony A7C camera, a big softbox light, and a Samsung Q2U microphone. I have two OBS scenes: a talking‑head full‑face view and a screen‑share view with me in the bottom‑right corner. I export the OBS recording directly and upload it without additional post‑production.
