OBS Studio is pretty good for pasting together several sources (including application windows) into one or several "scenes" and then recording (or streaming, or injecting into a videoconference via v4l2loopback device) a sequence of live sources embedded into switched scenes. Check out <https://youtu.be/Vn1f70IH-Es?t=755> for some stuff where I pasted commentary over the slides of a presentation and then did a mix-in commentary with a preexisting video, bringing in various (live) application windows to illustrate what I am talking about. While several such passages (and the transitions) were done with OBS Studio, the final output was then stitched together using Shotcut. Also the live commentary was overlong and I had numerous excursions into irrelevant matter: cutting stuff out from the original OBS Studio take was also done in Shotcut. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
