Bug Report OBS Studio crashes on adding image source

[phillip perry]

I'm trying to add an animated gif as a image source but every time I choose it the system crashes. It is a graphic of my header with a light snow coming down. I'm not sure what the problem is but I have the bug report. Any help would be appreciated.

Can you post the gif that is causing the crash?

Use OBS 64 bits.
The image is too heavy for 32 bit version

Is there a way to save the current profile or do I have to do it all over again?

Update to OBS 17.0.0
By default you will use 64 bit OBS
And you will have Profile and Scene Collection Import / Export

The OBS installer just installs the program. It doesn't give me an option of 32 or 64 bit

EDIT: I read another post about how to get 64 bit and this version handles the animated gif thank you.

OBS 17 create by default a shotcut for 64 bits OBS.
Previous versions default was 32 bits

Anyway, you can copy shortcut, edit it and hook to proper OBS Version

EDIT: After install , both 32 and 64 bit versions are installed. Just check your shortcut.
