Question / Help How do I fast forward a video?

[Jack Decker]

I am about to do videos of me playing in online poker tournaments. These won't be live. Instead, I will record me playing in the tournaments and then I want to fast forward through my folded hands. This is to reduce the length of the videos. BUT can I do this post-production editing with OBS? If so, how? If not, anyone know of a free video software program that would enable me to do this? Thanks in advance!

Not a feature of OBS that I've ever heard of.

There's a bunch of free software out there: https://www.google.com/search?q=free+video+editing+software

Personally I've always used Sony Vegas Movie Studio, its not free, but its cheap on Amazon, and it has a full-featured 30 day trial period when you download from the Sony web site, last I checked.

RATS! Thanks for the reply, Boildown, but RATS! Oh well. I was hoping to do it all with just one program.

Thanks for the link to the list of free video editing software out there. Does ANYONE recommend any of these for fast forwarding a video? The video will be in real time when I participate in a hand but then I want to show it in fast forward during the hands I fold. Not skip edit. I want viewers to see I showed the whole tournament as far as my participation was involved.

As for Sony Vega Movie Studio, I will give it a look.

Also, forum member @DeMoN recommended to me http://tmpgenc.pegasys-inc.com/en and I intend to give it a shot... some day. I had to search for ~ 20 minutes to find his post on it though, arrg.

Thanks for the additional tip. I have also had someone recommend DiVinci Resolve. It has a free version.

Davinci Resolve is an amazing program, but it requires quite a lot of your PC resources too. For fast-forwarding and similar basic features, I would suggest more lightweight and straight-to-the-point video editing software like Videopad, VSDC, and even Openshot.
