Independent FPS for Streaming vs. Recording (Recording at 120fps while Streaming at 60)

Sometimes I want to capture clips of high-pace gameplay using the Replay Buffer or full recording to edit later in video editing software. High framerate raw footage (120 FPS or higher) is crucial for smooth slow-motion edits.

However, OBS currently forces a global FPS setting across the canvas/video settings, making it impossible to stream at a standard 60 FPS while saving local recordings or Replay Buffer clips at 120 FPS without using third-party plugins or multiple instances.

Proposed Solution / Feature Request:
Allow users to set independent frame rates for Streaming, Recording (and Replay Buffer).

This would enable a seamless setup where OBS renders internally at 120+ FPS for crisp local clips/recording while setting the stream output to 60 FPS to stay within platform limits (like Twitch and YouTube).
