The Problem:
My streams on OBS are suddenly being interrupted by a large green blob (it almost looks like the green ghost from Ghostbusters, thus the title) jumping up from the bottom of the screen into the frame of shot.
The Details:
I stream using the Mac version of OBS (I keep it updated to the latest version at all times) on a 2022 MacBook Pro. The camera I use is a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K with a Cam Link attached to the USB-C port.
This problem started recently and is seemingly happening at random. I will go long stretches of time without seeing this occur, and then it will randomly happen several times during a single stream before not happening again for a solid month.
Once the blob jumps into the frame (it always rises from the bottom of the selected Scene) it reaches the middle and then the shot freezes. The OBS application does not freeze, just the current Scene, which causes me confusion as to whether this is an OBS problem, or a problem caused by my camera or cables. I have tried changing out cables and cords to fix the issue, but it has continued to happen regardless. The display on the camera does not freeze and audio continues to run through OBS (the camera is linked through a soundboard which captures audio and they both run through the same cable to the Mac.)
I do not have any custom animations loaded into OBS when this occurs (only a slideshow using the Image Slideshow feature) with standard .jpg files loaded into it (the issue has also occurred when I don't have any slideshow in the Sources tab, so I doubt they are related at all.). It doesn't seem like this is an error in loading an animation of any sort that I can tell.
Has anyone else experienced this, and if so how have you fixed it? It anyone has any ideas about the possible causes and fixes for this issue I would be very grateful. I also apologize for a lack of photos of the issue, as I said before, the blob seemingly strikes at random and I cannot replicate the problem at will. Thank you for reading my post!
