A fix is being developed for this.\ +Videos are recorded with variable frame rate and as a result, the video can't be played with vlc or edited with kdenlive (and video editors that use the same libraries).

This will be fixed in the future. # Performance When recording Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild at 4k, fps drops from 30 to 7 when using OBS Studio + nvenc, however when using this screen recorder the fps remains at 30.\
