When I record my screen and have myself in picture in picture in the corner, is there a way to separate those two video files so when you edit the video you can switch the picture in picture to full screen for a minute or so and then switch back to showing the screen with PIP? Or is there an easier way to do this?
Question / Help Separate video source files when filming PIP and screen?

Not currently, no. You can vote for it here.
If you're exclusively recording, one trick a number of YouTubers use is to set their canvas to double the normal width, then simply put webcam & game side-by-side in OBS. This allows you to get a full resolution in-sync webcam, then simply add your recording twice to a normal-sized project in your recording software, and rescale the webcam half as necessary.

Yes. I'm assuming you're wanting a 1080p final output... if you're working with a different resolution, just scale as necessary.
Increase your canvas size to 3840x1080. Set your normal capture scene up as you normally would (game capture, with small webcam on top), except put this in the left 1920x1080 area. Then just add your full-frame webcam source again, and move it to the right 1920x1080 area.
You'll be recording a 3840x1080 video, which is an interim for when you go to edit.
In your editor, you just need to add the recording twice, with separate crops - the left area for your main capture, and the right area for your full-frame webcam cuts.

Do you guys happen to know of a video or something that shows how to set this up? Or can you record a quick 20 second video showing how to set this up? its more difficult than we thought and we can't figure it out. I have the normal recording where the screen is in teh background and the PIP is in the corner but changing the size and all that stuff then everything is off. Thank you so much!
