Guide / Tutorial Noon's Own OBS tips

[Miscellaneous]

A demonstration of a relatively simple setup, changing between two scenes.

One for the straight game, and one for the whole desktop and audio.

"I use this setup even when the game is in full screen mode, in order to listen to music without getting the music into the recording." -- P. Noon

This one is a basic general purpose intro, which I made recently when someone in the famous "What are you up to?" thread were talking of OBS.

In twenty minutes it sets up OBS scenes, profiles, and sources, and makes a short game video and watches it (the whole screen and demo was recorded outside of OBS in ClipChamp).

Great video with excellent motion-graphic skills on display - i appreciate imaginative typography!

On the other hand, I'm still newb'ing my way around Windows here... does ClipChamp only work "online", ie: does one have to upload footage before editing ...or is there any simple local/desktop based MP4 editor that you'd recommend? (basically, i really need to start cutting down REC footage more on the PC as my ED media archive is bursting at its 4GB seams ;p)

Aw thanks CMDR ]M[.

ClipChamp which came with my copy of Windows 10, to my knowledge it keeps the files locally but I was not greatly concerned if they secretly spy on my Elite recordings. I was initially given the impression it uploaded them and I think it can but I do not think so. Because I have never had to wait so long as it would take to upload so much on my connection, anyway, though theoretically it could slurp it up in the background.

However, it does keeps a local cache which I had to hunt down and delete for about a quarter of my terabyte drive back a few months ago, somewhere in .. I think it was here,

.\AppData\Local\Packages\Clipchamp.Clipchamp_yxz26nhyzhsrt\LocalState\EBWebView\Default

Or thereabouts. I'm already back up to 41GB there. It needs expunged once in awhile. And for all I know there may be a way to do it in the UI. I'm just

Well hey there is a way in the UI after all to empty that cache. I just found it on MicroSoft KB: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...-ebde-428d-adbd-adc197ad0315#bkmk_desktop_app

Finally, I aspire to use some other tool some day but it is just so easy and already-there. So I record with OBS and edit with ClipChamp. Sometimes transcode with AVS. I can't remember why I had to do that. I think I had OBS recording to m4v originally that ClipChamp didn't support. But later I corrected OBS to record to mp4.

The 34th century looks forward to your fanciwork CMDR!

hey y'welcome - i keep wanting to add more titles to my videos, but can't think of what i want to say mostly :]

aha, that is good to know! ...perhaps this is the thing i am looking for - just to be able to basic edits, hopefully preserving the original MP4 data with minimal if any recompression... i need to shrink/trim down a couple of TB fairly soon, or i will just not be able record any more...

...thanks - good to know, for the aforementioned storage space issues...
