Question / Help Stinger transition cuttting video too early

[Matt H]

Is there a time limit on the video or something? I have a 2.5 second stinger and it seems to cut about 1.5 seconds through... what's the deal?

FPS mismatch?

 

[Matt H]

nope don't think so - makes no difference if video output is at 30 or 60, or if the singers is at 30 or 60. Always cuts at the same place. The original MOV and/or WEBM play perfectly fine elsewhere. The same stinger files work perfectly fine in XSPLIT too.

Any file? How to reproduce?

 

[Matt H]

I have two potential files to use as stingers... both of them cut out about 2 thirds of the way through - the 3.5 second one above - and a 2 second one (but with no alpha). easy to reproduce - any file, stinger transition, it'll cut out early.

 

[Suslik V]

It is only possible for me to switch between two scenes really fast, then when transition incomplete (but the stinger file played more that 50%) and you switch back to previous scene - transition cuts. This - with default transition settings. And what you specified in transition properties? I'm unable to reproduce it in other way.

I get it every time, even with long delays between tranitions...

Here is the file try for yourself? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachme...660585034940417/LGTransition_straightPNG.webm

This is the result, as you can see it cuts out before the second scene is completely revealed

Try to add silent (or not silent, OBS Studio will playback to it to the output) audio track to your transition stinger file. Any changes?

Seems to work fine here with a 1700ms transition time, no cutoff at the end.

With the example file(LGTransition_straightPNG.webm) I see the cut. No matter what the time to replace the scenes is.

At least it's not just me going crazy

Try encoding the video in mov format. Set profile in animation and 32bit color to enable alpha channel (if it’s needed) in the quicktime encoder settings.

Just link to similar thread: Stinger transition not working (or it looks similar).

Hey! I had this same problem and figured it out! My stream output was set to 30fps but my stinger file was set to 60fps. When i re-exported the stinger in 30fps the cut off was fixed!

I am a windows laptop user, I tried everything.. Changing the Stinger format, changing the Transition point, changing the FPS of Stinger but nothing worked.

FIX FOR ME -
But what worked was so weird, after plugging my laptop to charging everything worked... no lag, no stinger transition cutting.

Yoho, good tidings I bring, I also have had this same problem for months now and have arrived at the solution! All I did was make the video be blank for a few seconds after the transition and OBS would cut the blank portion of the stinger and keep the rest nice and pristine! It's not much, but it's honest work.
