Video preferences

On the Video tab, you can choose how the videos are recorded and saved.

The frame rate defines how many frames will be captured each second and affects the smoothness of motion in the video. A lower frame rate will result in smaller output size, however, the video may not turn out as smooth. The recommended frame rate is 20-30 frames per second.

 

This option will make saving videos faster if you use the same output video codec. For example, if you cut the video without changing the format. If you're having problems with saving some files, try disabling this option.

 

This option will make saving videos faster if your computer is equipped with a compatible Intel® graphics chip. 

 

This option can make saving videos faster by using the graphics card to process media files. This leaves the CPU free for other tasks and improves performance while saving videos. This option is only available if you have an NVIDIA® graphics card compatible with the NVENC® or CUDA® technologies.  

 

This option is meant for the same purpose as the ones above: it allows to save videos faster, too, but this time you need an AMD graphics card to use the acceleration.
