Camtasia Audio/Video Out Of Sync Temporarily Solved With OBS

Happy Wednesday!

Recently I did a live stream directly from the Restream studio and although I was streaming at 720p 60fps, the stream at all my destinations was blurry and laggy. I ran some tests and it appears I have CPU issues - yikes!

Yesterday I recorded a lecture using my regular audio and video settings and using the Camtasia recorder. When I started to edit the video in Camtasia my audio and video were completely out of sync. Last week I was not having this issue and I did not change any settings.

It's my 6-year-old CPU - it's time for an upgrade since we work with so much video and live streaming.

Temporary Solution:

Record my lectures using OBS then edit in Camtasia. OBS is much less resource-intensive and I can create multiple scenes. Even when I stream using OBS the destinations receive nice clear 1080p 60fps (a little overkill, I think 30fps is enough for Excel lectures).

After Black Friday I will purchase a new computer. Woo-hoo!
