Hello all, OBS is a great AP and I have been able to use it to create the videos I need for educational purposes.
However, I made one of the videos too long for an upload to SmugMug (20 minute limit) and wanted to cut it in half. I have iMovie, GoPro Studio and a couple other editing tools but each takes the oringal input file (amazingly small file for 1080p at 60 FPS 200 MB or so for 39 minutes) and creates FRIGGEN HUGE, I mean 200 GB files with same output frame rate and resolution from files that are 200 megabyte so they are useless as they exceed the 3 GB limit for SmugMug. Even with the output resolution and frame rate turned down the files sizes are too large, unless I use the lowest settings and the video is not useable (and the file was still quite large).
I am currently simply re-playing the video I recorded, recording the screen with OBS and making two shorter videos from the too long one. I'll got it done but quietly leaving the room so my background noise does not get recorded and setting a timer to go and stop recording when I am at the end. I found out the hard way that the background noise was was being recorded since I was on the phone, and noticed the audio bar was rising as I spoke. LMAO. and had to turn of all iMessage messages because they kept coming up in the video. This is funny. :)
The problem is I cannot find a way to turn off the built in Microphone and still have OBS capture the audio from the video I am play and re-recording. I tried everything. If I mute the microphone in the operating system settings, it also mutes the playback video's output to OBS. This was odd I thought. For future use I'd like to find a work around.
Anyone have a similar issue and get it to work?
