Not sure what I'm doing wrong...I record a video just to test settings and see performance, but when I got into HitFilm and open up the folder I sent the video to, the folder is empty even though I can find it outside of HitFilm. I am just getting started and have a feeling there is a simple solution to my problem, I just can't see it! Please Help! If this is not an easy solution and my log file is required please let me know and I will go figure out where it is and post it as well. Cheers!

If you recorded to FLV, HitFilm can't read that format. Use "File->Remux Recordings" in OBS to convert to MP4 for HitFilm to read.

I will double check, but I am pretty sure I recorded in MP4...I doubled checked and it is in MP4...

I think my problem may be figuring out HitFilm because I just configured my video through file manager to open with HitFilm, but when HitFilm opens it just takes me to the opening screen and never actually plays the video...Thanks for your time

Oh, I see. Yeah, there's a bit more to HitFilm (and any pro-quality video editor) than just "open this video file and edit it". Good luck!

Does it open OK in VLC?
I don't have VLC, but I did just open it with the "Films & TV" app that I assume is a generic Windows 10 player, and I'm seeing a black screen with my voice narrating 20 seconds of nothing! :( It appears I have more problems then I thought!! lol

The reason I ask about VLC is that the generic Windows player is kind of terrible.
I guess it would be a good idea to get a good media player on this thing. I just built it on the weekend and I've got my head spinning trying to get everything on here that I need to make videos and live stream, and it's all so new that it is becoming overwhelming!!
