I used to use OBS to capture game clips, but it recently started capturing at shitty 5fps framerates and tanking my in-game FPS. I tried a ton of things to fix it but eventually gave up. Based on this changelist it doesn't look like the problem is solved. Oh well.

* Added Undo/Redo [Programatic/Jim] Wooooh! That's going to turn so many instances of "Oh I've just deleted 30 minutes of filter tuning" into "whoopsy, undo" also: * "(Windows only) Added support for NVIDIA Noise Removal in the Noise Suppression filter" Nice! I wonder how that compares to the old RNNoise option...

It was such an obvious missing feature. Though to be fair, implementing undo/redo functionality is often nontrivial. However, there's still no way to save/export scenes, aside from simply copying your entire app data directory. I just have a basic layout with few tweaks so it's not the worst thing ever, but for any streamer with a complex setup and carefully adjusted filters, moving to a new computer or whatever must…

That is an interesting feature. I will work on that for the next version.

Having upgraded OBS before on macOS, I backed it up first, then installed the new version. As somewhat expected to me, the new version is not launching. I had to launch it from CLI to see and see there is an error:

     error: os_dlopen(libpython3.9.dylib->libpython3.9.dylib): dlopen(libpython3.9.dylib, 257): image not found
It also changes something in the stored state on disk so that next time you try to launch an older version, it cannot launch either. So the issue damages the previous versions somehow as well.

Similar errors have happened to me in the past. If you are doing important streaming stuff, do not upgrade OBS as long as it continues to work. Especially if you are on a tight deadline or have a scheduled upcoming stream.

My favorite OBS feature is that you can bring in transparent browser windows all over the place. As such, I have my work conferencing set up so my time appears in the upper-right corner. I’m on the east coast and everyone I work with is on the west coast. It’s a nice way to remind them of my current time. (It also passive aggressively animated to purple with a moon when its “after hours,” a/k/a 5pm for me.) I also ha…

I've embedded a browser window in an OBS stream on my mac, and it just about ground my computer to a halt; the CPU was pegged at 100%, and using it with Zoom basically meant not using anything else.

Is it just me?

Undo/redo would be me :). I put in a lot of effort and spent months working on it to get a basic workable version. I am only just a you g student, so over the last several rcs, Jim refined it and made improvements and bug fixes. I love the team and everyone involved is just a great person.

Thank you for all your work and contributions!

If you use OBS, I would love show you our product https://www.stream.club . We're bringing OBS into the browser, making it really easy to create live video content. Our customers find that they can get setup in Stream Club much faster than they can with OBS, and they don't need a powerful computer to do it. Happy to answer any questions!

Question: Why would I waste more than 10 seconds on your website if I can't create an account and try it instantly?

I’ve got a within-the-last-18-months MacBook Pro, so yeah, your mileage may vary. A dedicated graphics card helps tremendously. I’ve got a gaming PC with a recent NVIDIA card and it does even blink at it.

I remember when it was OBS vs xsplit, looks like OBS won!

I'm happy about that personally. OBS is an example of FOSS done really well in my opinion and I'm glad to see it winning out over potentially better funded projects.

> This fixes the black screen issues on laptops in particular My youngest wanted to learn how to use OBS so he can begin making videos of his gaming. I tasked him with figuring out everything, from how to download it (I closely monitored this part), install it, and use it. He watched tutorials. He got so far but got discouraged when he ran into the above issue and started the whole process over again because he thoug…

What is the black screen issue?

Obs is amazing. I’m using it to record my screen for YouTube videos. I have one unrelated issue, though. My screen recording feels super washed out. The colors are awful. This happens with obs and other screen recorders as well (even quick time), but OBS it’s a bit worse. I have no idea how to fix it, so I just compensate in post, but it feels unnatural.
