[@gbsn]

this seems to not work for me. i am recording the 2 sources (game/cam) but both recordings are my entire scene, gameplay, cam alerts, subcounts, etc..

[@ixLeMoNi]

yep, same problem

[@jayheha007]

Make a separate profile and sources where you don’t have any of those things

[@vajillion]

I searched for a solution to this problem for longer than I'd like to admit, and your video was exactly what I was looking for all that time! Thank you so much

[@MichaelFeyrerJr]

Glad it helped

[@Warrior2044]

@@MichaelFeyrerJrIt didn’t work for me. I don’t see source record.

[@abettencourtmusic]

I was stuck and frustrated on why the sources weren't recording individually, or only some recorded here and there, pretty randomly. Your tip of setting up different encoders for the master recording as opposed to the source recording and the file name hack combined with me adding a separate folder for projects, really made the difference and I can now confidently record any project and know it's going to be recorded just as planned. You got yourself a new subscriber! Thanks for this

I've been waiting for this for sooooooooooooooooo... long finaly

[@MichaelFeyrerJr]

[@JonathanDtz]

I gotta say, Micheal, you´ve quickly become my favorite tutorials guy. The way you go in depth explaining how to go about doing stuff, but still manage to keep it simple and easy to follow, its a delight haha I stopped trying to create content on my socials, but I am really getting motivated to pick it back up again. Thanks!

[@RevwdGaming]

Your a life saver... I found videos on this that make you split your video inputs on separate halves of the screen and crop them out afterwards in Premier. But I stream all my content, record it while doing so, and edit/upload it into a video... This is the ONLY way I can still stream good looking content and also record it in separate video channels for independent editing later! Thank you!

[@astraamusic]

Are you still able to hear the gameplay and your mic and other players voices all on the just gameplay recording?

[@LetsLiveThriving]

Dude you are awesome. At 12:27 you helped me figure out why only 3 of my 4 monitors was recording. That part of your video saved me much frustration. Thanks for a great tutorial

[@StephanBoyyy]

Wow, this is seriously the best way to do it. For a long time I've used another approach by recording a super wide video with my cam on the left and my desktop recording on the right. Super easy to combine in my editing software but also super inconvenient when trying to stream at the same time (since it's super wide). I was really looking for a another way of doing so and it seems I finally found it. And it was perfectly explained! I can see you know your business. So kudos to you sir and big thanks for the help!

[@StephanBoyyy]

btw, you ever watched "According to Jim"? You totally remind me of James Belushi for some reason, lol. Greetings from Germany.

[@MichaelFeyrerJr]

Thanks! Glad to help. I have seen that show. :-)

[@sukiyomie]

Another way is to just duplicate the recording ontop of the original and just mask out everything besides your face cam

[@Dontmissbenny]

[@manollobango]

First of all thanks for this video! I was just looking for a solution on how to record OBS sources separately and this is the 3rd video I watched showing this plugin. Even though this plugin seems to offer what I'm looking for, it seems that a lot of users are reporting issues while using it. Not to mention that it seems to be very performance heavy like notable in your video! I wish OBS would come with something like this by default, more intuitive in handling and without stability issues. By the way I like your presentation style! Keep it up and good luck ✌

[@Putchuon]

I’ve been on KZbin looking for someone to explain how to do this for 7 hours!!! Thanks you and I definitely just subbed!

I've been wondering how to record game play source separately from overlays and camera for the purpose of streaming and having the gameplay footage on it's own for making video edits or reviews after streams and this is EXACTLY what is needed!

this guy helped me so much, i was searching for this thing for over an year, finally i got. everytime i was searching seperate facecam and gameplay videos, i get 3840x1080 guide, c'mon thats a huge file size for me

[@grindgame]

This tut was a godsend. No more having to 3840x1080 and splitting the screen in post. Thank Exeldro over at OBS for creating this and for you bringing this to the masses! Is there a way to record only the separate sources and not the combined video?

[@riceandbeansowo4165]

I assume you got an answer by now, but incase anyone else new is checking the chat. Yes you can have the source record to record "always" and then go to hotkeys and set it up when to enable and disable source record on specified keys. This avoids having the record on "stream", "record" or "Stream or record" criteria.

[@AgateSpace2339]

sorry for bothering you@@riceandbeansowo4165 but where can i find these hotkeys? i cant find them in settings within "hotkeys"

[@Craigdna]

Just wanted to say Michael that you do an excellent job and it has helped me a lot as I am attempting a lengthy podcast on FDR. You have saved me lots of time and I greatly appreciate your sharing of the tutorials. When I finish the podcast, I will send you a link to it. Thanks again.

[@NemGames]

This is great! For me, I just wanted to record two cameras at the same time for different angles. So I added the Screen Record filter to only one camera so it would record simultaneously in the background. Thanks for this video

Hey Michael... Hope you see this and can help me out... I installed the plugin and separated all my sources... my video camera and my external display. I just ran a test... the video with both sources looks great and my video camera on its own looks great but when I open the external display source/video, it's chopping/lagging... Any ideas why the display capture would look OK in the combined video but not on its own?

[@TheGainingGround]

I just realized it's because my iMac is new... 5K retina... is there any way to lower the resolution of the individual source being recorded? The combined sources video is fine because it's outputting my normal resolution but the display source is recording at 5120x2880 on its own...

If the audio is playing through your speakers the microphone will pick it up … wear headphones.
