So if we cancel now, if we just start recording. Now since I recorded my video, I think OBS have added in a new feature so if you go into settings and go into advanced under the recording section you’ll see there is an automatically remux to MP4.
Now, once you have made your screen recordings, you can go in as I showed in the video and go to File, Remux recordings, select your MKV file and it will remux it into an MP4 file. So it is a good idea to record to MKV when you record your files. You can change that to MP4, but what will happen is if you have any issue with your machine or your OBS crashes, none of that data will be saved if you’re recording to MP4. Now if we take a look at our settings in obs’s under the output tab, by default the recording format is MKV. It all comes down to the video file types that Davinci Resolve supports.

Now that is covered in my video of how to get that to work, but it is a small short section so it could be quite easily missed, so I thought I’d put together a quick dedicated video showing exactly how and why that happens. But then when they go to import them into Davinci Resolve, the files won’t import.
One of the things that keeps coming up regularly in the comments is that people are following the instructions and recording screencasts with OBS.
Now that video has been watched close to 85,000 times It had about 1,500 likes and it’s had about 175 comments. Back in December 2019 I recorded a video called Screen Recording and Editing Basics with OBS and Davinci Resolve. Transcript is automatically generated and may contain some errors In this quick video, I show why this happens and the very quick and easy way to fix the issue. If you’ve ever tried to create a screen recording in OBS, then import it into Davinci Resolve but the files won’t import, then this video is for you.
