Question / Help Editing OBS footage with Adobe Premiere Pro or iMovie?

[emvta]

Is anyone editing OBS footage with Adobe Premiere Pro or in iMovie? If so what are you converting the .flv file to? Also do you loose quality and keep your audio?

I don't convert anything, I just save the file as MP4 and not FLV. I haven't tried in Adobe (I use Sony Vegas Pro myself).
Under your settings, go to Broadcast Settings>File Path (hit browse), then go to the location you want your videos to save. "Save File Type", instead of using Flash (FLV), switch it to MP4, and save under a name (that will be the name all your recordings go under, so say you name it "MP4", they will be named MP4, MP4 1, and so on until you rename them).

Is this for only the PC version or both. I have OBS on both my Mac and PC. The Mac version has a Remuxer that reformats the .flv file type to mp4, but when I do that and try and use it in iMovie the audio is lost. Do you have the same issue, or maybe you have fixed it, with your editor?

Don't save as mp4, as they will irrevocably corrupt on any non-graceful shutdown of the recording process. Use remuxing after recording. - https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/how-to-convert-flvs-to-mp4-fast-without-re-encoding.78/

If you're losing audio tracks after remuxing, it's likely the fault of your media processing software not supporting the audio track and you may need to go all the way up to converting that track to a supported format. Test the videos with VLC after remuxing.

So you are saying that the audio track that OBS file has is not a supported type in say iMovie (where i first saw this problem)? Is there a way in OBS to change the type of audio track on the .flv file or the Remuxed .mp4 file?

not in an automated fashion. It's fairly easy to get it to work by following the ffmpeg method of the remux guide and specifying an audio codec and its appropriate parameters instead of using the acodec copy parameter.

Never used ffmpeg. You said there is a guide. It is on the OBS forums or online somewhere?
