Two days ago I posted a message on the obs project's forum; there's been no reply to it. I'm sure that I've missed a simple step and someone here will see just what it is. I can post a screenshot on file convoy if that would help.
I want to record a tutorial with the video being a PDF file of slides and the file displayed by 'impressive' in an 800x600 window. OBS-studio sees the window as a source but does not display it for recording; there's only a smaller red bordered box in the obs window. These are my obs settings: Video: Base (canvas) resolution: 1920x1080 Output (scaled) resolution: 1920x1080 Downscale filter: Lanczos Integer FPS varlue: 30 Output: Output mode: Advanced Recording: Type: Standard Recording path: /path/to/the/PDF/file Recording format: mp4 Audio track: 1 Sources (named scene: Window capture (Xcomposite) Audio input capture: PulseAudio I learned that impressive needs to be displayed in obs' virtual desktop or it's not seen as a source. So I start impressive and move it to that v.d. I have window capture as a source and can select the application in the list of windows to capture. This puts an empty box with a red boarder in the obs display. I'm not sure I have the base and capture sizes correct. My monitor resolution is 1280x1024 and the PDF slides are in an 800x600 window. How do I see what obs has captured? And where do I start recording since I see on the bottom right menu an item to start streaming but not recording?
