Appreciate the tips. I just learned about nesting and I am currently rebuilding my stream from scratch. Oh man it’s a game changer.

The audio meters one is actually pretty cool, I always hated the horizontal ones. It's the little things :P

Great video. I didn't know about holding space in canvas view to zoom and drag! That's so cool; now I feel like I'm working in Photoshop, nice! So I don't need to use the fullscreen "projector" so often. Thanks!

Great quality video, you are so good! Just wondering, why do you record in 1080p when you have a 4k-capable camera? I see so many youtubers doing this. Upscaled 1080p -> 4k looks better than uploading in 1080p, but it can't compare to native 4k or even native 1440p. In a 24" screen, if the montior is 1080p, I see huge pixels (91.8 ppi). And when it's 24" 1440p, if the content is in 1080p I still see the duplicated pixels. But 1440p looks pretty fantastic at 24" (122, 4 ppi). And people with even bigger monitors need 4k to get a crisp image. OBS will only suggest a canvas size of  the highest resolution monitor that you have, which might be 1080p, though I don't think it's your case, since you're a content producer, but in ay case, you can manually edit the canvas size to 2650x1440 (or 4k). Most sources would be upscaled if you mafr them full screen if your monitor were only 1080p, but your camera feed could be in native 4k if you use Elgato Camlink 4k (4k 30 fps max) or Elgato 4K60 Pro Mk.2  (4k 60 fps max). You can record in 1440p and leave it in 1440p, or upscale to 4k from there, but 1440p already looks great in 4k monitors and you spare the upscaling process. Also, I think sharpening is best set to 0, since it just looks artificial to me, even most of the talking-head 4k videos I see on Youtube have a lot of sharpening and it makes them look more like a videogame character than a real person. I know it's unsolicited advice, but maybe I can disguise this as an OBS trick that I give back for the tips I learned from you? 😗 Anyway, you're a handsome guy, and your production quality is superb, so I'd like to see you in pristine quality.
