Dear developers, dear community!
for your information:
In December, I have to start a live TV-show-broadcast for 2 television-channels at the same time in 720p. It's a talk show format and it will be done with ATEM-Equipment, lot's of pro cameras and BMD Web Presenter. I want to use OBS for it, because it's a nice piece of software and I want to support the open source community. But I have some troubles with OBS that have to be solved first:
I'm not sure if this is a phenomenon at the Mac version of OBS only, but media is infrequently freezing. My scenes are suited like this:
Example set of a scene:
Additionally I got a stringer transition in ProRes 4444 to switch between similar sets of scenes, to make all more groovy :D https://pasteboard.co/GQQN2kNz.png
The phenomenon itself:
Sometimes earlier/sometimes later while streaming or recording or simply viewing the project, the animations are freezing to still images. I use a MacBook Pro 2017 and it's not because of realtime rendering issues caused by CPU. Similar scenes/layers at "mimo LIVE" are working perfekt (also with much lower hardware configurations). So maybe it's caused by a bug at OBS's rendering engine/or within the concept of data-processing of OBS itself.
Questions:
Love,
JoPhi

I'm not sure if this is a phenomenon at the Mac version of OBS only, but media is infrequently freezing. My scenes are suited like this:
Example set of a scene:
- Foreground: ProRes 4444 animation with a fading in and fading out animated lower third
- Midground: partially screen filled onscreen animation (mp4; keyer keys out green parts for it's sub-content)
- - Webcam (webcam for the left side of the screen) (later ATEM-Content)
- - Browserplugin (for the right side of the screen)
- Background: animation (mp4; with background ;))

Questions:
- Is there a knowen software limitation for the total amount of input-data (GB's)?
- Is there a problem when ProRes4444- and mp4-media are combined?
- Is there a way to use mp4-File-Format with a keyer for the stinger transition? (reducing file size, but I know: maybe increasing cpu. btw: I cannot use webM-VP8!)
- Is there a problem when there are different frame rates?
- Does OBS need some time to preroll everything before starting clicking around?
- Why ist obs interrupting a stinger transition, while switching to an other scene while playing the stinger transition? Wouldn't it not be more logical to render in the stinger-transition a second time?
- Sometimes after (re-)starting OBS, Media files will not play.
- Edit: WHY does UBB-Code for IMG not work in this Forum?!
Love,
