Question / Help Black preview when running custom resolution settings on video capture device

Hello, I've been trying to run OBS a couple times, but each time I do my preview comes up black. I deleted the webcam from my video capture source and created a new one today. The preview showed up initially when selecting "device default", then went black after I selected "custom" as my resolution setting. These are the settings I've been applying that lead to a black screen:

Resolution 1280 x 720, FPS Match Output FPS, Video Format Any, YUV Color Space 709, YUV Color Range Partial, Buffering Disable

I adjust my webcam settings with LGS and my webcam preview shows up just fine in that application. I have bitdefender and heard it caused problems for some people, however I don't have the webcam protection feature enabled. I'm using an acer nitro 5 laptop if that helps. Here's a log as well, https://obsproject.com/logs/Gk3YYKDWPrweheEB. Is there something wrong with my settings causing the black screen? Or could something else be causing this issue?

Thanks

(First screenshot shows preview w/ custom settings and second is preview w/ "device default" settings)

Fixed my problem. Changed the video format to MJPEG and my webcam started showing. Hope this helps anyone that runs into a similar problem in the future!
