OBS & MMV - camera capture interaction/priority

Hi everyone,

I'm new to MMV, and after trying to find information in the user manual without any success, I'm turning to this forum. I'm using the performance version.

Two questions:

1-OBS and MMV seem to compete for control of the camera feed. some of my scenes in OBS would rather use the raw camera feed. Is there a way to allow OBS to connect to the camera at the same time as MMV?
2-MMV's green chomra isn't as clean as OBS, for the simple reason that the camera's color options aren't changeable in MMV (they are OBS), is there a work around?

Thank you!

Frank

I don't think two applications can directly use the same camera at the same time.

There is a module called "Chroma Mask" which gives you more control, but also needs more GPU power.

Re 1 - I think the OBS-Virtualcam plugin may do what you need, making a camera connected to OBS also visible to another application. Any such software is liable to increase your CPU load.

I saw the reference here:

..and a search for "OBS Virtualcam" lead me here:
