Hello and thanks for your help.
I have the problem that whenever I add a second screen capture for my monitor to OBS, it will just display nothing; it's not black, just transparent like it wasn't capturing anything. Now I understand that you can work around this by just copying the original screen capture and cropping it to whatever I want to record; this does work. However, the problem that arises from this is that those sources are basically considered the same (with just different cropping) so whenever you add a filter it applies to all of them. Since I need different chroma keys, this is a problem as I need each screen capture to have a different kind of filter.
Someone on Twitter suggested to instead add a second scene where I add a screen capture (which can now have a different filter) and then import that entire scene to my original scene. This sounded like a great idea, however once I import that second scene to my original scene, it will once again be transparent. I can make it visible if I turn off the screen capture of the original screen, but that doesn't get me anywhere.
Your help with this would be much appreciated. This used to work for me with OBS Classic, but ever since updating from Win7 to Win10 and using OBS Studio now, I can't get this to work anymore.
Thanks a lot,
Julian
/Edit: after talking to some friends of mine who have the same requirement (as we both stream the same game), the problem is consistent with them and they also haven't found a way to solve this issue.
