Bug Report Changing scenes "disconnects" an camera?

Hi all!
I was trying setting up the stream having this setup:
- BlackMagic Intensity Pro - connected another PC to it for streaming through HDMI
- Sony HDV camera - connected with FireWire
- Logitech webcam Deluxe - USB

Everything was working flawlessly, but when I tried to change the scene, my Sony camera would disapear, "disconnect", became red screen on it's part. To re-enable it I needed to stop and start stream again, but every time when I change the scene this happens.
Sadly this bug is stopping me from using OBS for Live Streaming for now, so I'll have to use XSplit till this gets solved.
Also, is there any talks about adding scoreboards, nice transtitions between scenes (now it's only black screen between switching scene of 2-5ms... or so...) and other stuff like that soon?
Must say that I'm very happy with what you guys are doing, and that OpenBroadcaster will change how people stream, and bring us more newer game streamers.

Thanks and best regards! ;)

Add it as a global source, some drivers don't like being reinitialized all the time. All directshow devices should ideally be registered as global sources.

Oh wow, never thought that this might be a reason! Tnx, it's working amazing now! ;)
Also, are there possibilities adding transitions somehow to OBS?
And I figured it, when you add sources as Global, it instantly loads it, and when it's added normally in scene it would take some time in milliseconds...
Thank you!
