Hi DeFrisselle, I’d say I’m doing self-directed, very slowly paced, self-instruction based on Forum replies and links. My equipment is now 4 years okd but it works well with OBS in HD, in general.No complaints. Im not streaming, just recording. My biggest achievement in learning was recording 4 live streams in a 1920x1080 Quad that I tested using a live streaming feed from 4 siinultaneous TV/Cable sources, off the web.
The monitor Upgrade is on my mind as a technical curiosity, but Im not sutuated to overhaul my set up... at the monent. OBS and the plug-ins supporting it, is extremely brilliant and helpful for remote Zoom meetings and showing my PC works-in-progress to others using its output with hotkeys as a virtual camera. The software just feels right.
I did see some “micro bumps” when looking at playback of that Quad test... just a minor constant hiccupping of standard TV bottom-of-screen text crawls... I’d like to figure that out soneday... it seems to look bump-less in OBS while recording. So is it recording to disk/SSD or donething else? No urgency to answer that, though.
I want to also use OBS to make real-time versions of what would normally be an overnight render from my editing app. OBS works well in real-time, going to prores, but its result is nowhere near pro quality... due to the screen capture vs fike-render. OBS saves 3x tge tine, so even though it looks soft by comparison to a render, it is still a valuable option for me.
