No, and I don’t want to spring for a 4k.
Although, I could probably use something like Camo to use my iPhone as the camera.
Which isn’t that bad an idea, actually.
That said, I wish Windows downscaled from 4k better.
Yeah I’m not sure how to help. I think a lot of folks who do full-screen camera stuff get expensive DLSR cameras for it.
Yeah, I’ve seen people have good luck with 1080p cameras, but their monitor resolution is also 1080p, which makes the whole OBS thing easier. If I set OBS to a source of 1080p, it looks ok. I kinda wish there was a way to set the video settings per scene.
I’ll mess with my windows settings, or work on getting the 1080p monitor into a better position
So, holy cow have I had a bad run of trying to record.
A few I had to stop during the recording just because I wasn’t feeling it was going well. I wasn’t feeling like I was sounding coherant.
Today, I recorded an amazing episode. Only… instead of pressing pause at some point I pressed stop. Two hours later…
Ugh.
Are you using anything like a stream deck? I find having one has all but eliminated misclicks and such.
Oh yeah. What happens was I then switched to the profile I use for Truck sims, and didn’t see it.
Needless to say I am adjusting that profile now.
Eeeeeek. Do you have different profiles for individual games?
Just truck sim now, but I will likely add one in for Flight Simulator.
The truck sim ones gives me some visual aids to see if my lights are on, in-game time, or some key commands thatt I can’t remember.
I also have an OBS profile and then my default one. The straight OBS one is just for setting some settings that sometimes change, or making sure my default system output goes nowhere so I can monitor it through OBS instead. I found out that if you set desktop audio to like 40% in OBS, it’s 40% of whatever you system sound is set to. So, I send the sound to just my 4k display which doesn’t have a speaker attached to it. I then tell OBS to send the monitored output to my headphones at 40%.
Nice.

A question for the video editing gurus. I was watching this great Pravus video and I am curious how to do this transition. He kept his webcam out of the transition effect. It’s at the 8:04 mark if I grabbed the URL wrong.

I’m also streaming for Extra Life tomorrow! I’m teaming up with CODE-CWA (the union initiative to organize tech workers and game devs) and I’ll be playing Beast Breaker and talking about unionization in the game industry with some guests from my former workplace. Feel free to drop by! Donations will go to Children’s Hospital of Colorado.

I recently got set up with Twitch studio; I am not a pro, but I sometimes stream for a few minutes and just let my wandering consciousness do the talking as a sort of brain exercise:
In a little bit, I’m going to be streaming the a play-through of STAR CONTROL 2 (also known as the greatest video game ever created). Why? Because it’s 30 years old! And still great!
*YOU WILL JOIN ME*
It’s not as good as Starflight but it’s okay. ducks and runs out of the room
Love that game, best of luck!
Had a super random lucky raid on me at 3am and maintained the viewers for too many hours. Ended up streaming until 9am. I am so tired. At any rate, going live soon to keep playing Midnight Suns with some Gundam Evolution breaks.
I’m continuing my playthrough of Star Control 2 here!
BTW, @BrianRubin…
If you ever want to stream Starflight and show me HOW THE HELL TO GET ANYWHERE IN THAT GAME, I will definitely be there to watch!
It only uses arrow keys, buddy. Easy peasy.
