Hi, my system is more than powerful enough to run the software and hardware. I only get this line when I move the camera. When I use the vastly inferior AmCap video capture oftware there is no line when moving the camera. That app works fine.
I've set the OBS app to 25fps as we use with PAL in SA. Quality is HD (not even 4K) which the capture device can handle and also medium quality. I've also connected 2 expensive Sony cameras. Both exhibited this phenomenom.

Any suggestions?
 
Run the Auto-configuration Wizard (tools menu) and apply the settings it gives. Do NOT change anything.
Please restart OBS and perform a test stream/recording (your main purpose) of at least 30 seconds doing as you normally do, including playing games, full camera or whatever you normally do.
Now look inside Help menu. Upload the current log file and paste the url to the log in here. Click on the Analize button to start troubleshooting common issues.

Please don't sckip any step, specially running the wizard and restarting OBS.
 
Hi, I did as you say. Which means I didn't change anything , not even 60fps to the 50fps of the camera.
1) This is the log file

2) then I reset it to default and ran it again. This is the log file.

It again said mismatched sample rates. I cannot change that on my USB-C HDMI dongle. but at least it is twice as much at 96000KHz, so audio drift would not happen. But this doesn't explain the horizontal line when movement happens. One has to set the fps correct to match the camera:

3)So in Settings dialog box I changed it to 25fps PAL and capture format to .mkv from mp4, Video output is 2.5Mbps
So I ran it a third time.
This time the horizontal line in the middle disappear. But movement was very choppy. Settings is at Default
This is the log file.
This time there are no critical issues.
It still has the 96KHz warning - which I can't change.
This might be the reason for the line - It states: "Framerates other than 30fps or 60fps may lead to playback issues like stuttering or screen tearing. Stick to either of these for better compatibility with video players. You can change your OBS frame rate in Settings -> Video."
Which means half of the world cannot use OBS Studio!! All of our PAL users who have 25fps cameras that cannot do 30fps

is there a PAL version of OBS Studio?

To summarize, with the file format changed , the line disappeared when I set it to 25fps which is the correct frame rate for the camera. But the video is choppy with any camera movement.
 
I have just recorded another clip at the same settings. and the horizontal line reappeared. Like i stated before the much more basic AmCap app doesn't have this issue?
