OBS doesn't support custom transitions as well as XSplit does (transparent video applies here again). OBS doesn't seem to support alpha channels in videos (webm), XSplit does. When your whole layout is 60FPS, 17FPS web sources look like crap. XSplit doesn't support setting the FPS of web sources, whereas OBS Studio does. I currently use mainly XSplit, but if one of them incorporates all of these differing features, I'll probably switch to that one: In other areas, they each have features that the other doesn't. I personally feel, based on my setup, that XSplit gets it right "automatically" (via "Chroma") more often than OBS. No idea why, maybe it's down to differences in how every does their lighting. They are both very good and I think it mostly boils down to preference and/or your setup.įor instance, I've had no issues with green screen in XSplit, though I notice that many users in this thread seem to have major issues with it. I've used both pretty extensively, and I honestly wouldn't say either are objectively "the best". You can really see the difference in Chroma key and overall quality. Here is last night's example of me using OBS for the first time using the exact same setup. Here is a recent stream recording using XSPLIT. I cancelled my XSPLIT subscription tonight, literally three hours after downloading OBS. I just wanted to tell streamers that OBS is the way to go. I have no idea why I have used or paid for XSPLIT for a year. my camera and green screen came through basically perfect. People in my chat were specifically commenting on it. The video and audio quality was significantly better. It took me less than an hour to download and completely setup OBS just the way I had with XSPLIT. After almost a year of gaming and streaming and tweaking things and learning the best bitrate, etc, I finally understood everything enough to try OBS. When XSPLIT took a dump on me today, I re-downloaded OBS. I could never get my green screen to work or look good with XSPLIT. I had constant problems with XSPLIT just not working properly or not being compatible with shadowplay or various other things. I switched from XSPLIT gamecaster to XSPLIT broadcaster six months ago, and went on a path of constant tweaking and improving my stream.

I chose XSPLIT gamecaster originally because it was a very simple program to use and I was new to streaming and OBS just seemed more complicated at first. I have been paying for xsplit since December of last year (standard license). XSPLIT took another massive dump today and it wouldn't allow me to authorize twitch.
