Question / Help OBS screen recording >>> Premiere Pro 2019 - How?

[HaleYeah]

Hi,
I have been using OBS to live stream and podcast for over a year but only recently subscribed to Adobe to use Premiere for video editing. (Translation = I know just enough about OBS to get a working stream on Youtube)

I hoped it would be pretty simple to take OBS screen records and edit in Premiere but learned this is not the case. I spent most of the day yesterday researching and experimenting with MKV, m4v, mp4, and flv exports. I switched my encoder, adjusted the export quality and tried as many things as I could find on this forum and youtube. The last attempt I made using mkv caused an error when I tried to remux to MP4. I gave up at that point and called it a night. Would someone be able to steer me in the right direction to make these files workable in Premiere Pro 2019? what is the solution? Does it require 3rd party app like handbrake or is there a way to get it done in OBS?

Here is my most recent log: https://obsproject.com/logs/lq0UWSYjzwnhmdoe

Here is the remux error: https://photos.app.goo.gl/hgctpabXrVcMGb8c8

I love you three thousand - Hale Yeah

I can't get the Remux Recordings to work either. I get the same screen you do with a 0k file. It's really disappointing since most of the captures I'm doing I edit them in to a video program and not live stream. So I need something I can use in an editor.

I did end up using movavi https://www.movavi.com/videoconverter/ try the free one out to see if at least reads your files. It did read mine. I'm still working on figuring out all the settings. Looking to get a higher file size out of conversion. I only say that because the my source file is 300 megs I want at least something that size to know I'm getting as much out of it as I can.

But I have to say even with file size of about a 1/5 of that it looks great and at least I can edit with it.

I wonder if this would be a new Windows 10 update issue. I hope they fix it. It would be nice to do it in the tool they build into it.

I would suggest updating Windows. You're two revisions behind and this one is known to have performance issues with OBS. This is separate from your issue, but I just thought I'd mention it.

Suggest using the simple output mode to record to MKV using "high quality, medium file size" preset and then remuxing to mp4. Your log shows you recording to MP4, you don't need to remux that. Also if your mp4 recording is broken because of an error (as there is in your file) the file may be unrecoverable if recorded originally in mp4.
