It's quite clear that StreamFX has grown massively in terms of complexity and versatility from the initial versions. A lot more is possible now that used to be impossible back in the day. So the question is:
Would you like to have some tutorials for effects that are made possible by/with St...

Not much to say here, the changelog says everything already.
Changelog: (since Beta 572)
❌ Removed "Delay" option from Audio Sinks, as it does not make any sense here.

2024-10-02 09:43:54 +0000 UTC View PostAs of today, right this moment, ownership of the Trademarks, Copyrights, projects, etc has been transferred to Vhonowslend, the company I registered!
Nothing changes for you, but for me this means that I can handle taxes differently when hiring other people for the projects. I can also offs...

I've been testing all day today, and a bit more yesterday, and found several issues that fell through the cracks. This addresses most of them.
Changelog: (since 1.0.0b557)
⚠ The Source Mirror feature is now properly tagged as deprecated, and display a...

Quickly going over why the new Spout/Sink system eliminates many of the problems of Source Mirror, including the performance penalty that would occur with Source Mirror.

It's taken a bit more than a month (almost two even), but it's finally ready for usage: Spout/Sink is here! This new system finally enables you to "Spout" audio and video data from anywhere in the filter chain, instead of only after all filters were applied. You no longer need to...
2024-09-27 22:29:32 +0000 UTC View PostIt's been a hot minute since the last major update to this, so I'll explain what's currently problematic. I've implemented and scrapped several iterations of the feature already, due to simply not working out as expected. And there's a few reasons for that:
⚠ Your Profiles & Scene Collections are at risk of corruption, update soon! ⚠
This build addresses a one year old bug that I introduced using the absolute unrivaled skill of typoing a variable name repeatedly. The bug causes StreamFX to leak memory every time the s...
The first pass for Encoder Showdown 2024 has finished. I've excluded software encoders, as software encoders for modern formats already outclass all GPU encoders by default. These are the configurations that scored the highest on 90% of encoded frames:
AMF received a score o...
2024-08-08 03:02:29 +0000 UTC View Post
Another minor improvement to the overall code. This brings back Ubuntu 22.04 support through just #ifdef-ing out the code that is only available in FFmpeg 5.1 or later. Not quite sure why FFmpeg decided to break their ABI without increasing the major version number.
Changelog: 2024-08-05 12:33:27 +0000 UTC View Post
TL;DR got stuck on Spout/Sink, couldn't figure out a solution, decided to work on something else. With this Virtual Greenscreen is no longer considered Experimental, and is now considered "Stable"-ish.

This is mostly just a support update for OBS Studio 30.2 Release Candidate 1.
Note that MacOS 12.x and earlier may no longer be supported, and Ubuntu 22.04 and earlier are definitely no longer supported, as they do not have FFmpeg 6 development packages. FFmpeg 6 is unfortunately a backward...

2024-07-01 13:48:56 +0000 UTC View PostWhat amount of System Memory (RAM) does the System have that you use my software on?
Note that your page file does not matter, as I can't allocate unpaged memory from your page file. What matters is only the RAM sticks you installed, or your PC builder installed.
2024-07-01 13:43:15 +0000 UTC View PostWhich GPU does your System have that uses my Software?
At the current time, the minimum GPU supported must be DirectX11.1 compatible (OpenGL 4.x) with 4GB of VRAM or more.
2024-07-01 13:37:04 +0000 UTC View PostWhich CPU does your System have that uses my Software?
At the current time, the minimum CPU supported with all necessary instruction sets is an Intel Skylake or AMD Zen1 CPU. Older CPUs can work, but are not guaranteed.
This is the first of many yearly Surveys to figure out better targeting of hardware and software, and which of these to even bother supporting.

2024-06-23 13:17:51 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone, just wanted to let you know that the currently available version is not compatible with OBS Studio 30.2. With 30.2 OBS Studio has updated FFmpeg and other dependencies with versions that are not backwards compatible, so if you were to attempt to use older binaries - pa...
2024-06-11 13:02:25 +0000 UTC View PostIn hindsight, I regret planning this feature. It's dug up quite a few pieces of code rot, where legacy code and the libOBS boundaries came to bite me, resulting in additional work that should have been done years ago. But now it's finally shaping up to be functionally equivalent to what Source Mi...

2024-01-23 18:54:19 +0000 UTC View PostSeems like I was a bit hasty on the previous release, as another regression snuck in. Had to replace most of the way FFmpeg was detected during building so it works again with the newer versions that are being shipped with OBS Studio 30.0.2. This new fix might even allow it to be used on MacOS ag...

Unfortunately, this change broke MacOS, and I did not understand why for a while. According to the logs, everything was bui...
