The recently released OBS Studio 32.0.0 introduces a host of significant updates designed to enhance the user experience for video capture, compositing, encoding, recording, and streaming. Key features of this version include a new basic plugin manager that simplifies plugin management for users, as well as an opt-in feature for automatic crash log uploads on Windows and macOS, which aids developers in identifying and fixing issues.
This update also boasts enhanced audio capabilities, particularly through the integration of Voice Activity Detection (VAD) with NVIDIA RTX Audio Effects, which greatly improves noise suppression during speech. Additionally, various optimizations have been made to NVIDIA Effects, resulting in faster processing and lower latency.
For users on Apple Silicon Macs, OBS Studio 32.0.0 utilizes an experimental Metal renderer, promising significant performance improvements. The software now supports hybrid MOV files, allowing for the creation of widely compatible HEVC/H.264 + PCM audio outputs, alongside ProRes support on macOS. This versatility offers users more flexible output options across different platforms.
Changes included in this version aim to prevent compatibility issues by ensuring OBS Studio does not load plugins built for newer releases. The default bitrate has been adjusted from 2500 to 6000 Kbps, and hybrid MP4/MOV containers are now established as the default output format. The update also addresses various bugs, including crashes on macOS when resizing the OBS window, SRT reconnection issues, and memory leaks when outputting to non-writable locations.
Additional fixes include resolving issues with multiview displays, incorrect color range settings for the AMD AV1 encoder, and HEVC frame priority settings. The update also tackles increased latency following temporary encoder stalls, ensuring a smoother playback experience for users.
