| * Added Undo/Redo [Programatic/Jim]

| Wooooh! That's going to turn so many instances of "Oh I've just
| deleted 30 minutes of filter tuning" into "whoopsy, undo"
|
| also:
|
| * "(Windows only) Added support for NVIDIA Noise Removal in the
| Noise Suppression filter"
|
| Nice! I wonder how that compares to the old RNNoise option...

|
| However, there's _still_ no way to save /export scenes, aside
| from simply copying your entire app data directory. I just have
| a basic layout with few tweaks so it's not the worst thing
| ever, but for any streamer with a complex setup and carefully
| adjusted filters, moving to a new computer or whatever must be
| an enormous pain point.

|
| These days if it's live is use RNNoise and if it's for a
| recording I use Nvidia's filter.

| Since you're asking for speculation... perhaps it's only

| It requires the NVIDIA Audio Effects SDK, which is only on

| I considered OBS a really nice piece of software, specially after

| (libav) to build a simplified desktop capture software myself, my
| appreciation for OBS has increased even more, because dealing
| with libav or anything multimedia is definitely a pita.

| Agreed. PSA: OBS can be used to create videos as well.
|
| I first used OBS to create a video presentation for school.
| Most of the time I was showing slides, but occasionally I would
| switch to a full view of myself (as required by the
| assignment). Or you can do the common view of big slides and a
| small video of the speaker in the corner.

| Yeah; I'm not a streamer either, but it took me all of an hour

| video camera for Zoom calls. Haven't had time yet to do
| anything interesting with OBS "scenes", but it looks similarly,
| surprisingly straightforward. A+!

| Same. Not a streamer, but I use it together with

| Absolutely, before this you had to use stuff like FRAPS,
| Camtasia, proprietary webcam software, etc. There was no all-
| in-one way to record any webcam/desktop.
|
| OBS does it seamlessly and across all combinations. And the
| staging is neat too.

| Good news and bug fixes. That black screen capture on laptops was

| Happy to see the Wayland support.

| Excited for this release since it contains M1 Apple VT H264

| On the M1 it's not quite so bad, but being able to use hardware
| encoding does save a lot of CPU cycles when streaming at higher
| bitrates!

| Note that Apple Silicon (arm64) support is still in progress

| Any idea when it's coming? I know no one likes that question,

| tasty.
|
| Is there some way we could help with the arm64 patching?
| smoldesu wrote:
| My smoothbrained take is that it'll be a little bit, since

| Like GP said, it's really about the encoders slowly being
| updated to better support the hardware.

| agbell wrote:
| So I've had the reverse issue. With hardware encoding on and

| would overheat and I would get kernel throttling of everything.
|
| The external monitors cause the GPU to draw more power, but I'm
| not sure why that combined with hardware encoding in OBS caused
| issues. When I switched to software encoding the cpu was a bit
| higher but everything was fine.
|
| Apparently this is related to VRM overheating and people have
| workarounds posted on reddit, but it seem like switching to
| software encoding made it go away for me.
