Question / Help Can't move sources anymore?

[Dorthea]

Hey everyone! :)

For about 2 weeks ago I updated OBS Studio.

But...

When I today wanted too make a new scene could I not move any of the sources. I could not move text, webcam, pictures, and things like that.

I can't move on the old scenes either.

Can someone help me?

Here is a video there show my problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPHIhjLBtZc&feature=youtu.be

I hope everyone have an amazing day! :)

Right Click on the preview area and uncheck "Lock Preview".

I had this prob too, similarly https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/i-cant-move-text-in-obs.122463/.

In my case preview is not locked, the lock icon on the text also not checked.
somehow my obs kinda crash, exit unexpectedly.
I use the v27.1 on arch linux.

It used to have rect red indicator after I click the text, I do change the encoder and stream_key before this is happen.

Already solved, by opening the obs, I think I do it twice. Future, my advice is just to close the obs, and wait for 5-10m before starting it again.
Have a good day, fellas.

I struggled with this issue erlier today, make sure that if you use groups that the item your trying to move and the group they are in are unlocked.

I had the same problem & my sources were not locked, so I went into the (edit) option & unchecked *lock preview* Fixed my problem instantly!
I hope this helps!

With my frustration at trying for about half an hour to fix the problem, I didn't understand@fiqqbased's solution but I figured it out in the end 'by accident'.

- If you right click the preview screen and then unclick the "Enable Preview"

- When you see "Enable Preview", click that back on and it should sort of reset it back into place for you.

I hope this helps
