Youtube VOD random skips ahead frames but OBS reports no dropped frames

I've been experimenting with 4K60 youtube streams with the new AV1 support in OBS but I've been noticing when I watch the vod back it will occasionally skip ahead a decent chunk of time. This is particularly strange given that OBS reports no dropped frames on the encoder or network end. I'm curious if anyone else is experiencing something similar or if this is a known issue currently

Wondering how to improve the quality of my OBS

Could I get help with my video output. I’ve experimented with OBS for a long time. I’m at a HVENC encoding (AMD) with 6000 bitrate and no frame drops and whenever I’m looking at my footage live on twitch it looks super “Pixely” and awful. So I’m wondering if someone can hop into a call with me to test footage and see what can be done cause I really care about quality. I even have Dual Card (NOT CROSSFIRE) so it takes less stress on my GPU Graphics cards 6 700xt MECH 2X and 6500Xt Mech 2X Processor: Intel i9-11900K ...

My editor is having an issue getting the video portion of this AV1 file to show up in Adobe Premiere Pro 14.4.0 (Build 38) This is the information that I got from mediainfo about the file: (there is some audio tracks after this, but I think this is the important part) ``` General Complete name : E:\Stream Recordings\2023-03-11\2023-03-11 11-25-12 -seg3.mp4...

OBS Audio Mixer not changing with scenes

OBS Audio Mixer not changing with scenes Hi everyone, I have this weird problem with OBS that started last night, I didn't change any settings in OBS and this just started out of nowhere. I have different audio sources for different scenes, (like I have my microphone on my stream display stream but not on my ending scene) but last night the audio mixer stopped changing with the scene and I just have all my audio sources listed all the time, no matter the scene. Even more confusing is in a scene where I should have far less audio sources (ending scene for example) in the source's menu they're not listed like they should be put in the audio mixer they're still there. I don't understand why this is happening all of a sudden....

AV1 FFMPEG Encoding with ARC GPU: How to do CRF/CQP?

I'm trying to create a script that will batch transcode video files to AV1 using av1_qsv but I can't figure out how to do CRF or CQP to set the quality of the output. -crf and -cqp don't seem to work and ffmpeg's -h command for the encoder doesn't list any rate control options aside from -preset Any ideas?...

Monitor issues on CoD and other games.

Ok so basically I own as my main monitor a samsung LC32G75TQSRXEN. I play at 2k utilizing an RTX 2060. At times and mostly on CoD I get huge inconsistency during gaming with framerates and general game fluency. Today I wanted to test the game on my old Alienware 27 inch 1080p monitor. My suspicions sadly came true...the game was indeed perfect...now I am certain is it a monitor issue and not a GPU issue. Have you guys encountered this problem?

How to make an Infinite/seamless scrolling background animation in Davinci Resolve?

So I have a image to turn into a background and I want to animate it scrolling down-rightward, but I cant seem to make it "seamless" even using the "loop" option in the keyframe animation part of Fusion. To name an example of what I'm trying to accomplish: Remember the video game Sonic Adventure 2 Battle on the Gamecube? How when you go into the chao world and use the transporter to transfers chaos? that menu's/UI's background always scrolls infinitely. I want to replicate that. Is that possible in Davinci Resolve?...

Scene hotkey HOLD instead of toggle

I'm looking for a way to have a scene switch hotkey only work while I'm pressing the key, so it will go back to the original scene when I let it go. Is this possible? I bought a footswitch which I'd like to use to zoom in on my face, which works great but then I need to retrigger the original scene I was on. I have way too many scenes so it'd be nice if I could just go back to the current scene when I release the footswitch. If this isn't possible, how do so many streamers do the "reaction cam/tight zoom on their face" thingy? Do I just need a Streamdeck?...

In regards to AMD Encoder Video

So I have a 6700 XT and I watched this video https://youtu.be/DXL8_Adbob4 and it showed me to type in the custom encoder settings for Max B frames and rendering images. I was wondering if the codes that I put in for my AMF settings still apply or if I no longer need those with OBS’s new update. I would be wondering if anyone can answer that for me 

Looking for a VPN recommendation

Been using PIA for the past few years but I'm not seeing them recommended anymore (meaning there's better choices out there), but also pretty much every PIA server I connect to is either blocked on sites or breaks sites by having some elements blocked. Did some research and the best four seem to be ExpressVPN, NordVPN, SurfShark (owned by NordVPN), and ProtonVPN Only real requirements I have are: 1. Doesn't break sites like PIA does...
