Timestamp Hotkey For Highlights

[Crypt]

Hi guys,

Had a quick search, couldn't see this suggested.

I stream for about 8 hours at a time and when it comes to creating highlights afterwards I find it difficult to remember when certain events occurred. I've created a small autoit program that records the current stream time to a text box when pressing F6 so I can easily go back and create highlights of worthy moments. It's messy and involves reading the OBS.exe memory as I couldn't retrieve the time from the statusbar using any of autoit's built in functions.

Any way this could be implemented?

Would it be useful?

You just want a hotkey that logs the time of certain events?

Seconded. Just a text file that says the time in 00:00:00 format. This way we can go back and get those awesome moments.

Yes Jim.

Same, within 3 hours of play, theres a 1 minute section where i want to highlight. i don't want to go threw all 3 hours looking for it, just hit the button and it time stamps it.

have you guys not thought about just using a tool like Wsplit for this?? Speedrunners use it all day to click a button and save a time :)

nope i have not thought about it. this idea popped into my head so i googled it and this is what came up first.
I was just adding to the suggestion pool rather than just the 2 people. it could be something simple yet very effective to add to OBS when you have time - was my thought.
anyway Jack, thank you i'll check out that Wsplit

I'm checking for a timestamp feature every other month. Something like this for obs-mp would make editing so much easier. For now i'll check out wsplit.

Wsplit isn't really getting the job done, without any unnecessary work.
I hope the devs will take a look at this and consider implementing it in some form.
