Open Broadcaster Software - The best and most powerful screen recorder for gamer and you-tubers.

What is OBS?

Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) is a free and open-source cross-platform streaming and recording program built with Qt and maintained by the OBS Project. As of 2016, the software is now referred to as OBS Studio. There are versions of OBS Studio available for Microsoft Windows, macOS, and Linux distributions. OBS is funded on Open Collective.  Wikipedia

OBS Studio can also make full use of multi-core CPUs for improved performance, and can record at 60 FPS (or even higher). It might take a little while to set it up exactly how you want, but OBS Studio is by far the best and most powerful screen recorder for gamer and you-tubers.

Organize your projects

 

Create a new folder for your project. Inside your new folder, create these sub folders. You need to create these folders so you can easily look up for things you need in regard to your project.

1.       Document folder – This is where you put your document files.

2.       List of projects – This is where you place your projects or future projects you want to do in the future

3.       Photos- This is where you place your photos, thumbnails, etc.

4.       PowerPoint- You can create templates using PowerPoint. I will discuss that in the later lesson

5.       Sound effects- This is where you place your sound effects collections

6.       Videos – This is where you keep your videos.
