Question / Help Displaying Blackmagic Video w/ Scene-Based Filters

Hey there!

A little about me; I decided to upgrade to OBS Studio from Classic, because there was a feature in Studio that Classic wouldn't possess--that's allowing to choose audio recording sources, and allowing you to exclude the broadcasting PC's audio. :) So I'm sticking to Studio for the current time, even if I need better time/date plugins than what I can manage with Snaz.

About my problem:

I am not sure how to have the same Blackmagic video source use a different set of filters based on the scene. Here's an example of problematic behavior:

I have one scene in OBS where the Global Source of my Blackmagic video is present. This one scene is a copy of the others, and is for a specific game. That means the active area of the input video is of different resolution than the default. Of course, I would use a cropping filter, but adding a filter to that source applies it across all scenes, not just the one I am editing.

I'm still at a loss. If I create a new Blackmagic Video source that uses the video settings of the previous, all video using that device freezes. This means the original and the scene-specific one freeze. I can't imagine how to create a new device with the proper filter settings for this one scene.

How can I have this video source be properly resized for a scene, without freezing the video?

Crop has a special feature so that you can crop per scene.

1. Remove the crop filter.
2. Select the BMD source.
3. Hold down the alt button on your keyboard and drag the edge that you want to crop.
4. Look at the BMD source in a different scene, and the cropping shouldn't be there.
 
Did I have a Noob question? I'm grateful for this, because you also reminded me that the 'edit transform' box has an area for managing crop! :D

Thank you, c3r1c3!
