Does the audio lose sync when you play the original file produced by OBS in a normal video player? Or only if you split it into separate video and audio files? There is a chance you might be getting occasional frame drops, and then whatever you use to process the video not handling those properly.

check the video for dropped frames. there can also sometimes be differences between mp4 (janky) and mkv (fine) for reasons i'm not entirely sure about manually forcing the framerate to eg 30 or 60 in the editor should fix the desync. you should always do this, regardless of whether you have "desync", because there will always be some dropped frames in your recording, but usually not enough for the desync to be noticable use whichever preview feature your software has to see if the forced framerate fixes it

It might also be a variable frame rate recording, I had one of those where the audio desynced and yeah, manually setting the frame rate to 60 fixed the problem iirc.

RE: Video editors No one should ever "pay" for a video editor in tyool 2024. There's a butt load of free editors out there including freaking Blender of all things. Combat Lobster fucked around with this message at 01:24 on Mar 21, 2024 |

Combat Lobster posted:RE: Video editors If all you intend to do is some very basic editing, then yeah, there's free options out there. All I was saying is that you can find some of the paid options for very reasonable prices through Humble Bundle, if you are looking for something more robust that you can do more with.

Yeah, but really, in that case, just go with DaVinci Resolve's free version. It is better than any paid software I've ever used. No, really, it's that good, that's why I shill it. Can't wait for them to ruin it in the next 10-20 years, but right now, you're getting pro grade tools for free.

Thinking about doing another SSLP after many years, is the stuff in the OP still the best information?

Also I use avidemux for my video editing, though my needs in that regard are relatively basic. It doesn't seem to get mentioned often, but I felt lost in Davinci Resolve's UI while Avidemux feels simple to me.

I don't like to capture screenshots while I play, too much chance of missing something. I prefer to play, then capture screenshots from video, since then I can always, for instance, scroll back, if I miss something.

I mean people could also suggest things for keeping things a bit more up-to-date rather than taking passive-aggressive shots that suggest I've disappeared and left this forever abandoned for the next person. v v I've read every post since posting this and only once did a mod have to edit something into the OP I missed.But hey, I'll go and remove the blip/viddler bit if it helps.  e; Did a little cleanup, will look at more tomorrow.

Also pretty sure the Microsoft LifeChat headsets are discontinued. I now use headsets by LucidSound, with my current one being the LS100X Wireless Gaming Headset. I do not use the microphone element of them, but they are wireless over USB adapter OR Bluetooth, have over 100 hours of battery life on a single charge, and two built-in audio channels so you don't have to mess around with Virtual Audio Cable to separate stuff. I really like them, and maybe others will too. "Sony Vegas" is also no longer a thing and it's all done by Magix now. They have Movie Studio, Video Pro, and Vegas Pro, which all seem to be fairly similar and just different tiers of how much they let you do, but it's kinda confusing. Magix (rightfully) had a bad reputation for their programs running like poo poo after Sony was no longer part of the picture, but I use Vegas Pro and it's very functional and versatile these days, and people that used to use Windows Movie Maker might find these programs to have a similar design. https://www.magix.com/us/ And DaVinci Resolve is another video editing program that people seem to really like and it has a free version, but options are very limited unless you pay for the full version. If all you really wanna do is some basic editing for videos or dip your toes into experimenting more, it's probably a good place to start. I did find the UI to be a bit awkward, but maybe it's just because I'm so used to WMM and Vegas. https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve

Resolve's big two shortcomings if you don't pay are 1) can't render output to above 1080p and 2) getting mkv files in sucks, otherwise it's pretty feature complete Shotcut and Kdenlive have come a LONG way too

Windows 10 did come with free video editing software but it seems to have been removed and incorporated into the photos application. I did use it for a while when it was still around until I found it that it only encoded in 30fps.

It takes like a second or two even for big files because you don't need to re-encode. Buuuuut you do need to be comfortable with the commandline. code:

Resolve is massively powerful. You can do a lot with just the free version. You just have to put in the extra work in learning its other workspaces like Fusion and Fairlight.

Rocket Baby Dolls posted:Why don't you use OBS itself to convert MKV to MP4? I haven't poked into OBS much, so if it has after-the-fact re-encoding support, that's great. But your direct recording shouldn't be in mp4 because it doesn't gracefully handle the video stream cutting out at the end of the recording. IIRC it'll pretend that the video is shorter than it is, i.e. the last few seconds will be inaccessible.

That's why I render everything at 1440p nowadays.
