Howye!
I'm running a fairly simple setup- Canon EOS webcam utility beta, a Logitech webcam, and the cam built into my laptop. There are some animations driven by .MOV files- but I rarely use more than one at a time. Scene transitions are driven through Touch Portal. Audio is handled externally, through Voicemeeter Potato.
Each camera and animation has its own bottom-level scene. (This allows alignment and centering changes to be global.) They feed into mid-level scenes (for selection of cameras for elements in top level scenes). Top-level scenes control final placement and usage of video elements. This allows me to easily change the elements in a scene (for instance, if the EOS is in an inset box, and I want the Logitech in the inset, it switches in a mid-level scene)- or to easily select a different camera if one of the cameras used in a top-level scene stops working. It's a nod to how the video switcher worked when I was in TV. Sub-scenes drove final program scenes.
This setup works flawlessly- until I start Zoom. That's when cameras become quite unstable, often the Logitech just stops working (the computer refuses to even recognize it after this happens), and/or the EOS will not display full screen. (Both happened today.) If I try to go into the settings for a camera in OBS (to deactivate/activate the Logitech or the EOS, for instance), OBS freezes up and has to be restarted.
Soon as I stop Zoom, OBS works flawlessly, along with the cameras.
Not sure which log file from today's restarts will contain the right clue, so I put in all 10. :)
Apologies for my long-windedness. Thanks in advance (and most certainly afterward, as well) for any help you can offer!
Be well
