Hey guys, so I just started using this software.

I'm new when it comes to software like these and my goal is to be able to crate gameplay videos for YouTube.

My questions (noobstyle):

- MP4 is smaller in size than AVI but the queality is worse?
- YouTube does not support AVI-files?
- Video quality: Low, normal, high or ultra. What does this affect?
- Bitrate (MP4 100% or Force bitrate 100Mbps)? Wich one should use?
- Export: Use hardware acceliration or not? What does this do?
- NVENC or NVENC HEVC?
- Is the software using my GPU or CPU to record?
- Is there a way for my to bump up the saturation, contrast etc?

Thank you so much for helping me out with this.

- MP4 is smalles in size but quality might be little worse than AVI,
- YouTube supports MP4 only,
- Quality presets define maximum bitrate of the video and some other encoding parameters,
- if you want to set the specific bitrate for your video then use custom bitrate,
- we recommend to use hardware acceleration. It makes exporting videos much faster,
- NVENC,
- CPU and GPU,
- no, there is not.
