Pros / Cons
  • I can also use the software to edit photos and pictures, which works very well for creating an updating graphics.
  • Sometimes when moving or copying and pasting elements on the timeline, it can override the position and knock on your footage or replace it when you don't want it to.

  • The only suggestion that I would find to be useful to new OBS users, would be if there were a more comprehensive & expanded downloadable .pdf user and functions manual. Or even a more expanded "hints" segment when initially logging on so that it can teach you about all of the various uses & functions available to the user.
  • It is a fight to configure the docks in the space you want them and many times the configuration is not supported so it wastes precious screen space.
