As of recently, I have gotten a new MacBook Pro to replace my old laptop, a 4+ year old Dell laptop, that has been having issues in the last year or two. I use OBS to record Speedpaints/SpeedArts for YouTube, and to stream on Twitch every now and then. However, as of today, I have been attempting to set up everything I've had as of my setup from my Dell laptop to the MacBook, but I'm already coming across some problems that I don't know how to fix. I've tried looking through YouTube for some solutions, but so far I can't find any that will help me at the moment. Here are the issues I'm facing with:
1. Window Capture: I use Window Capture to focus on certain windows, such as Photoshop or PaintTool SAI (the art program I used on my Dell laptop) instead of having to deal with the Display Capture for when I have to edit the recorded process into my video editor. Whenever I tried to pull up the selected windows that I wanted to display and lock in, they would either not show up in the options (Adobe Photoshop) or it would but not display all of the window's display (Clip Studio Paint; it displays all of what I want the program to display, but does not see me messing around with the pencil or whatever's drawn on screen in general).
2. Popping up OBS: I don't know if I can even change this in general, but I know with OBS on Windows it would pop up it's window over everything else on screen. On the Mac, it would just pop up and minimize all the other windows displayed on screen(?)
Again, I don't know if I can change the option when it pops up or displays on screen, but it just kind of bugs me.
3. Displaying Speakers Below/Above Microphone: The Desktop Audio and Mic/Aux Mixers would usually be two separate things to setup or adjust on the Windows version of OBS, but it is combined on the Mac version for the Audio setup? I can't figure out how to make the Input and Output separate from each other, since the Device for Output (the MacBook Speakers) does not show up at all.
I'm still trying to get used to using a Mac on my own, with experience from using Macs throughout K-12 (or school in general), since I'm still used to working with Windows more. If I find anything else that I cannot figure out how to fix or use in the future, I'll update this thread.
