    I'm a step down from the actual card - I have the little 4K box thing. Forgot the exact name of it.
    I was gonna do some game streaming during the pandemmy, but...I never got around to setting it all up. Maybe I will now tho! Your vid reminded me that I even had the thing! lol
    Thanks for the channel with a perfect blend of various tech gear, and topics! Some of my photography channels are so focused on camera gear, I get bored of watching the content, cuz it's not like earth-shattering camera equipment/specs get released every day. 👍

      Thanks so much for that. The problem is UA-cam wants a channel to “focus” and only push that content. Channels that provide various content don’t see as much growth, sadly. But. I enjoy a lot and will keep sharing multiple facets of my journey. Glad you’re here!

    Not crazy about the USB capture cards because of my streaming setup. Here's what I got. I have 4 Logitech 920's hooked up to a PCI 4 ch USB extender because each camera needs it's own USB channel and my PC only has 2. I run audio separately through an AudioBox USB. I don't have much bandwidth left of my USB channels so my video capture is a good quality, rebranded, PCI with 1 ch in and 1 ch out.
    The Elgato Cam Link Pro looks great and I have been considering adding my security system to my streaming PC so I can show exterior views of my yacht on stream. Looks like I will be upgrading to that real soon. Looks like it is 34% off right now!
    As always thanks for the all the invaluable info.

    I have the Elgato Camlink 4k stick. Works great on my MacBook most of the time. The problem is that sometimes it connects at USB2 speeds and I have to unplug it and plug it back in to get USB3 speeds. That might be due to my Thunderbolt dock rather than the stick itself though.
    The other much bigger problem is that if I plug it into my Windows PC, then if I try to use it in OBS, it will cause OBS to crash. It does work with the Windows camera app though.
    The other one I have is an Atomos Connect stick that came with my Canon camera. It is only 1080p30, but apart from that, it seems to work fine. Of course, being in Europe, running anything at 30 or 60 FPS is asking for trouble with mains flicker, to realistically I would have to record at 25 FPS on it.

    Jesus dude 2:30s whole minus of not talking about what we came to see. Then the intro which would be fine if I wasn't already like wth to how long it took to start going. Your sponsors also shouldnt be in the front because we havent even gotten into the video yet. You just keep prolonging. You even say the algorithm is so important but yet you are destroying yours by not getting into the meat and potatoes.
    Good news? Everything is shot right, audio is good, and personality is awesome. You can tell there is a lot of effort put into this channel. If you want to see you get the views you deserve for the video you'll take what I'm telling you into account. No hard feelings I hope. This is just some real good criticism from someone who wants you to get the views you deserve for the time & work you are putting in.

    From 17:10 for sure the mouth movement is behind with the sound... Further in this video, sync gets more and more out of sync. Especially from 20:20 and on. Maybe I'm also sensitive to those things (I know I am). Last part seemed in sync again (more or less).
