Question / Help How can i record webcam and gamvideo seperated?

[Michiel]

Hello guys!

First want to say, i like OBS studio so much.
But Bandicam for example can make video and webcam seperated.
The cool part about that, is you can do cool stuff with your webcam video for recording.

I know the trick of using two obs studio's. to get webcam seperated.
Problem with it size of webcam video and content video is not same length.
and hard to start to programs on the same time.
Also tried obs classic and obs studio at the same time for webcam seperated.
But when i make a hotkey to start both recording at the same time only one starts.

Can someone help me?

You can't record 2 separate videos at the same time with obs or obs classic. Using both obs studio and obs classic should work but you said it doesnt so idk. You can probably just use a different software to record webcam.

Just syncing it editing isn't very hard. Just record audio on both and start both recordings and clap, clapping makes a really easy wave in the audio making it easy to match up.

Of course if you get really desparate you can set your canvas res to 3840x1080 (if you're recording in 1080p) or 2560x720 (for 720p) Then put your game on one half and webcam on other half then just crop it in editing.

probably, this feature (2 outputs to the 2 files) could be implemented in obs studio. Because of streaming feature (that uses the cam) and cam sharing not resolved by mircosoft itself, the using of the cam by second instance of the obs studio running (portable mode) is not possible in most cases.
But in studio itself, you can clone any source ("Add Existing" feature) and thus have two layers of the same video/audio that is ready to output (at least with the x264 encoder), the encoding, mixing and output resolution needs new control (maybe fps should be locked to parent scene when you trying to record the child). This is far future of the obs studio, I think.
