In OBS Studio, is there a way to duplicate a source and then adjust the new source without that adjustment affecting the original?
(Also, it should be noted that I seem to be unable to actually make what is called a "Duplicate" in the right-click menu.. whenever I copy+paste a source, I can only paste a "reference"; the "duplicate" entry is greyed out for whatever reason)
See, I have a problem where I realized a little too late that 1080p was probably not the way to go after all and so I wanted to adjust the output, but I also kind of feel like I want to keep a 1080p-profile for whatever purpose, not abandoning everything that I have painstakingly set in place.
So I figured I could just duplicate the profile and then adjust the scenes and everything else in the new profile, resizing them to the new output while leaving the other profile as it was. However, when trying that, I discovered that it adjusted the original sources as well.
The problem is I have a lot of sources in those scenes made for 1080p and if I adjust the output to 720p in that particular profile, it makes everything in the scene blow up out of proportion so that a lot of the sources end up off-screen.
I suppose I could just try to re-create the exact same sources anew and give them another name which would make them distinct from the original sources, but that would be exceedingly tedious. I have to ask if there is a better way.
Btw, I should probably explain that I did stream in 720p before and had it set to downscale from my native resolution. However, downscaling from my native resolution, which is 1440p, to 720p made smaller details (and especially small text) in my stream really blurry and unreadable as it became extremely pixelated, that's why I switched over to 1080p to begin with, hoping that the jump from 1440p to 1080p rather than 720p would make a difference, which it did. But now, your standard lag and buffering have become a problem, so I figured I should probably try to go back anyway and leave the small text blurry.
