I have a webcam in two different scenes. But the camera will only show in 1 webcam. When I restart the program it doesn't help. Whichever scene I start in is the one that works. Even when I try to add a new webcam source it is still blank. Is there something I can do?
 
Don't have 2 different source with the webcam, only have 1 and use Add Existing when adding it to another scene.
 
I have this same question. What's the most stable way to use the same webcam in two different ways? Like two scenes I want to have different filters on the same webcam.
 
Do a scene only with webcam. Apply filter to scene, not to webcam
Do a second scene only with webcam. Apply differente filter to scene
(Reuse webcam)

Note: you will ned to transform webcam to fit screen.


Now use scenes as sources.

If you use "new webcam source" (really not new, just same webcam not reused) and use any transition (except cut), camera won´t reconnect when changing scenes. (I´ve reported this on Mantis)

Using scenes to apply filters and then using scenes as sources in your final scene makes all work fine.
 
But that applies an effect to the whole scene and not just the video source -- you'd have to have the camera image full-screened for this to work.

So, the real answer is you can't have one webcam source with different filters right now.
 
Yes you can, as EBrito explained, You add the scene with the fullscreen webcam to one of your regular scenes as a source, which you can resize however you want.
