Finally a tutorial for mac! This is a really helpful video - thank you! One question, under output > recording > encoder settings > rate control, I only have the option for ABR, and do not see CRF as shown in the tutorial. Do you have any ideas?

Hey. 😊👋 It could be helpful to distinguish what is and isn’t available on Apple Silicon Macs vs Intel Macs. Thanks for the vid. M3 Pro 8gb and I’m hunting to see if it can support adding a second instance for vertical streaming (Aitum). All of this is so fluffin’ new and fun I’m having a blast!

My video recordings come out REALLY choppy... like specially when I have webcam on where Im recording client calls or things like that it looks like its on 3fps
I have the same settings that are here

Thank you, for some reason my computer doesn't offer Apple VT HEVC Hardware encoder - any ideas why?

I don't have that video encoder (or encoder settings) as options. Only just "HEVC". I'd assume it's the same, but the only Rate Control option is ABR
