Recently unable to import my recordings from OBS

Codie-Banfield wrote on 5/14/2022, 2:08 AM

I have used this software for over a year I believe and have never had any issues with it. I have recently tried to get back into recording content for youtube. But for some reason my recordings can not be added into move studio. I receive an error saying The number of channels is not supported and I have tried adjusting settings within OBS, but this has never been an issue. I record my game/desktop on one audio track and my microphone on another. I would appreciate assistance with this greatly.

Hi and welcome to the user to user forums.

Which version of Movie Studio are you using and were you previously using an earlier version of the program that was version 17 or earlier?

If you did edit successfully with your current copy of the program did your then OBS video clips contain just one stereo track on those projects?

Have you in the last year updated OBS studio?

There have been quite lengthy posts in the past about working with OBS Studio containing multiple audio tracks or using video capture settings that MS cannot read. (referring to earlier versions of Movie Edit Pro rather than earlier versions of Vegas Movie Studio).

I can't find a post relating to this with the current version of MS but here is an older one with the user using Video Pro X.

I'm not sure this can be done in the current version of MS depending on which version you have bought.

For us to check it would be useful if you could record a short OBS clip of a minute or so and upload it to Google drive for us to test of see if a solution can be found by either altering your OBS studio record settings or figure out how to get the sound channels working. Or even if it is still feasible.

Ray.

Hi

Can you clarify what you mean by 'multi channel' - the term is often used incorrectly for 'multi stream' which OBS is capable of recording, eg for gaming - the game audio is recorded in stream one (mono, stereo or, IIRC, Surround Sound ) and your commentary in a separate audio stream (mono, stereo).

Movie Studio does not support multi audio stream recordings, it should load the video and, by default, stream 1 will be available, the other audio streams are ignored, however you can switch which audio stream is used but you cannot have both (or more) at the same time.

There is a workaround to get both streams - load the video twice eg on track 1 and 3 set the track 1 audio to stream 1 and the track 2 audio to stream 2 - you can remove the video component from one of the video clips so you get both streams and then group them together eg:
