Configure OBS Studio Recording Settings

Open OBS Studio and go to Settings > Output. Set your recording format to MP4 or MKV and choose a resolution of at least 1080p (1920×1080) at 30fps or higher. This ensures the exported file meets OpenClip's quality requirements for accurate speaker tracking and caption generation.

Record Your Session or Export Your Stream Archive

Run your recording or live stream as normal in OBS Studio. Once finished, locate the saved recording file on your local drive via Settings > Output > Recording Path. If you streamed, download the VOD archive from your streaming platform or use OBS's local recording feature alongside streaming.

Upload the Recording to OpenClip

Log in to your OpenClip account and click 'Upload Video.' Select the MP4 or MKV file exported from OBS Studio. OpenClip accepts files up to the limit of your plan tier. For large stream recordings, you can also supply a direct URL if the file is hosted in cloud storage like Google Drive or Dropbox.
