Downloaded and fired up Studio 0.14.1 64 bit today for the first time. Was thrilled to see that my MP4 video files now run EACH TIME I select the scene wherin they are selected. Prior versions only fired them on the first instance. Subsequent "play" of a video source had to be jump started from within the scene by reselecting them. This is much better.
My practice of running embeded MP4 files is now better supported.
Kudos to Jim and the team.

Is anyone else experiencing issues with the new OBS Studio 0.13.1 and their video capture card?
Is anyone else experiencing issues with the new OBS Studio 0.13.1 and their video capture card?
My Avermedia C127 Extreme Cap HD failed to be recognized when I first started this version of OBS. After twiddling with it and checking to see if it still worked on the old version (it did), I managed to get the video signal to pass through OBS Studio (I'm using the 64 bit version.)
Later in the session the camera cut out again.
I just wondered if anyone else has experienced similar issues.
LOVE the studio mode for preview.

We are trying to create a "cheat sheet" on how to use the new version(s) of OBS.
We are trying to create a "cheat sheet" on how to use the new version(s) of OBS. I've not found any list of features or even a glossary of terms used in the new menu structure. I'm hoping that by sharing the Google Docs document below and allowing comments and edits, we can crowd source some documentation. If you've learned something that isn't documented here please add it to the document. Commenting will allow for some discussion or challenges to assertions made.

I'm trying to tackle a "show opening" issue.
I'm trying to tackle a "show opening" issue. I'd like to stack an audio file of 12-13 seconds, over a video intro file of 10 seconds, over a live camera.
The idea being music starts with video and as video completes and disappears the camera video appears while music fades. I have had some success with this, upon building it, but subsequent uses of the scene only show the camera.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this is occurring?
My sources (all global) are video specifying an MP3 (audio only file), a video specifying a silent MP4 (video only) file, and a live webcam.
Any/all feedback would be appreciated.

Gerwin Sturm impresses the hell out of me.
Gerwin Sturm impresses the hell out of me. I mentioned that I was having a little difficulty chromakeying comments in his new version of Comment Tracker and he jumped on it, adding a new setting that allows for a slightly bolder font, greatly improving my results. I'll be moving to the new version as it allows me to window capture just the "stream" portion without the extra window real estate. Dan McDermott , what do you think?
Photo 1 = old version worked fine
Photo 2 = new version prior to new setting can't be read
Photo 3 = the new settings options
Photo 4 = legible (but still not crystal clear) results using the new setting.

We did a test run of the OBS setup to bring a remote guest speaker into our "live" Tech Tuesday event scheduled for next Tuesday. Any in the community that are interested in broadcasting live events (with or without remote guests) are invited to view the event. We'll be including selected comments and questions from live steam viewers using Comment Tracker to pull them into OBS. Should be fun.
UPDATE: You Tube had some serious issues that evening, and we were compelled to abandon the originally scheduled live event and start a new one. The program was already in progress in defference to our live in-room audience: Hawaii TechWorks' Tech Tuesday Meetup August 26, 2014

Join Hawaii Tech Works' Tech Tuesday Meetup for August, 2014 featuring Ryan Finlay, Founder of ReCraigslist.com and ApplianceSchool.com. Ryan will come into the room via a video conference call. Attendees can ask Ryan questions and he'll be able to answer them. Live streaming viewers (You Tube) will also be able to interact with Ryan via the "Comments" thread. He'll also be able to answer those questions in close to real time (streaming delay.) It should be fun.

Another Hawaii Tech Tuesday live event but for the first time, we steamed it at 1080 via You Tube Live Event, using OBS software to mix three video sources locally and upload to you tube using only 1 machine. A few glitches but overall we are pleased with the capability. We used an AverMedia Broadcaster HD to capture VGA video from a pass through connection on the projector in the room. Our primary (presenter) video was via USB utilizing a Logitech C920. The in-room Q&A camera was a Canon HV20 video camera capturing images at 1080i which connected to the single host PC via USB3 where an AverMedia ExtremeCap u3 external video capture device completed the video inputs. Audio captured through our Mackie ProFX 8 mixer which was selected as a mic source within OBS.
Now that we've reduced the number of machines from 3 to 1, our 5 mbps uplink is more than sufficient. OBS wasn't breathing hard at all.

While visiting the OBSProject.com site today, I noticed that the fruit of Jim's hard work on the multiplatform version of OBS is "ready for picking!" As of July 14, the Macintosh version of the new OBS is available for download. Linux version and a new revised Windows version are promised soon. While I'm jealous, I guess I understand why we Windows guys have to wait a little longer before we can trade in our old OBS for the new version. Looking forward to exploring the re-written product and playing with any new features that Jim has been able to include. Looking forward to hearing from the Linux and Mac folks on what they think of OBS!

Lurking in the gamer community lately in search of tips on video capture devices uncovered something interesting that Intel is doing with their newer processors. The feature is called Quick Sync Video and it is described in the linked video. My home machine doesn't have a new enough chip, but I'll definitely be trying this out on my next Hawaii TechWorks Tech Tuesday live event.

I managed to get one HDMI camera into my HOST pc using an AverMedia video capture card.
I managed to get one HDMI camera into my HOST pc using an AverMedia video capture card. If I want to pull in another HDMI video source, I'll have to do it via one of the USB 3 ports as the machine has only 1 expansion slot. I still want to stick with the machine for its i7 8 core processor, 32 GB RAM and strong video card.

Terry Leigh Britton does your video capture card fit in a half height slot?
Terry Leigh Britton does your video capture card fit in a half height slot? I just realized that the primary HOA computer I use for HTW has only 1 half height card slot.
I am not thrilled with my 1/2 height card Avermedia gamebroadcaster HD as it is completely distoting HDMI input when using it as a source camera within an HOA. It looks ok within OBS.
If your card can be inserted into a half sized slot i'd go with what you are using.
Thanks for any/all feedback.

I am not finding a method of selecting an audio input which can "bridge" scenes.
I am not finding a method of selecting an audio input which can "bridge" scenes. I produced a video intro for my broadcast which contained a musical track which played for a few seconds (fading) after the video faded to black. I noted that when upon seeing the video fade and selecting the second scene with live cameras, the scene 1 audio abruptly cut off. I was unable to find a way to include an audio global source which i could keep in all scenes and thereby supply a continuous audio track.
Does anyone have a suggestion to address this issue?

I'm stepping up from Logitech to a Canon HV20 Camcorder which has an HDMI output.
I'm stepping up from Logitech to a Canon HV20 Camcorder which has an HDMI output. So I'm now shopping for an appropriate video interface card to pull it into my Windows machine for use in my live streaming events. I would welcome any suggestions from the community on which card to use. Ideally, I'll be collecting at least 2, possibly 3 such cameras. I'm presuming that the interface cards offload at least some processing from the CPU so I'll want to install a card for each camera. (Unless advised otherwise by an informed community.)

This is an enlightening look at how Dan McDermott mixes his show using OBS. It made me feel so good to hear the esteemed Dan McDermott say "Oh God!" while trying to select a scene. I'm not alone.
Dan details his show setup and how it all connects.
