I'm really new to the software. I downloaded the Source Record plugin and installed it so I could do display capture and webcam footage and export to separate files to edit in Premiere Pro. I did a short test video and the webcam feed exported as a separate file only showing the webcam, but the other file showed the display capture and webcam side by side. When I got to Premiere and cropped out the left part of the video on that feed and overlayed the webcam footage into the corner of the screen, the whole video exported with a huge black space where the webcam footage had been. Is there a setting in OBS that will keep the feeds separate and not include the webcam footage on the display capture? Am I just missing something obvious in the settings and I'm going to be kicking myself when someone points it out to me? Any help much appreciated.

Well, I figured it out and it was quite simple. I don't know why I had overlooked it. I set up the sources as Game Capture, Audio Input Capture, and Video Capture Device and under Game Capture, I set the mode as Capture any fullscreen Application. Before I had the mode to simply capture the screen and it was grabbing the monitor plus the webcam and putting them side by side. By changing that to capture any fullscreen application, it isolated the monitor on one file and the webcam on the other and gave me separate files for each. The plugin works as advertised and I am very pleased with the result, once I figured out how to set it up. Also, the Game Capture seems to be less taxing on the CPU than Display Capture for some reason.
