Professional screen and camera recording on codeonym's Arch workstation (GNOME 50 Wayland, AMD Vega VAAPI) with OBS Studio 32 and its plugin pack (advanced masks, composite blur, shaderfilter, source clone/record, freeze, 3D effect, stroke/glow/shadow, background removal, PipeWire app audio, Wayland hotkeys, advanced scene switcher, move transition), showmethekey for keystroke overlays, OpenScreen for Screen Studio–style auto-zoom demos, and GNOME cursor tweaks. Use when the user wants to record a tutorial, demo, course, talk or stream, set up or configure OBS scenes/profiles/filters, needs zoom-on-click or cursor highlighting, keystroke display, or wants to clean up a finished recording.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

Screen recording (OBS · showmethekey · OpenScreen)
Toolkit on this machine
| Tool | Use it for | Launch |
| OBS Studio 32 | Scenes (screen, cam, screen+cam), filters, recording, streaming | obs |
| OBS plugins | see references/obs-plugins.md — what each does and how to use it | inside OBS |
| showmethekey | On-screen keystroke overlay (Wayland-compatible) — capture its window in OBS | showmethekey-gtk |
OpenScreen (AUR openscreen) | Auto-zoom on clicks, smooth cursor, backgrounds — polished product demos | openscreen |
| GNOME cursor settings | Bigger cursor + Ctrl ripple ("locate pointer") | scripts/presenter-mode.sh |
| Kdenlive / ffmpeg | Editing and delivery | video-editing skill |
Wayland reality check (important)
- OBS captures the screen through PipeWire + the GNOME portal: Screen Capture (PipeWire) source; GNOME asks which screen/window on first use.
- Live zoom-follow-mouse inside OBS does not work on Wayland (plugins/scripts need X11 cursor coordinates; GNOME 50 has no X11 session). Options:
- OpenScreen — record, then it auto-generates zooms on clicks (Screen Studio style). Best for product demos.
- Manual zooms in OBS with Move Transition (hotkey → animate a zoomed crop of the screen source) — best for live/tutorial flow.
- Zooms in post in Kdenlive with keyframed Transform (see
video-editing→kdenlive-workflow.md).
- Global hotkeys need the obs-wayland-hotkeys plugin (uses the GlobalShortcuts portal), otherwise they only work while OBS is focused.
Scripts
| Script | What it does |
check.sh | OBS + every plugin, PipeWire/portal stack, VAAPI encode, showmethekey/OpenScreen, cursor settings, existing OBS profiles |
presenter-mode.sh on [size] | off | status | Bigger cursor + Ctrl ripple for recording; off restores your previous settings |
finish-recording.sh <rec.mkv> [--trim-start S] [--trim-end S] [--target -14] [--denoise] | Lossless remux to MP4, trim, loudness normalize, and a small review copy |
Guides
references/obs-setup.md— the recommended profile (VAAPI, CQP, MKV + auto-remux), scene collection layout, mic filter chain, hotkeys.references/obs-plugins.md— each installed plugin: what it's for and a concrete recipe.references/recording-workflow.md— pre-flight checklist, recording technique, and post-production pipeline.
Rules of thumb
- Record MKV (crash-safe) with Automatically remux to MP4 on.
- Encoder: FFmpeg VAAPI H.264, CQP 18–20 — the CPU stays free for the apps you demo.
- Canvas 1920×1080; scale your apps so text is readable at 1080p (VS Code font ≥ 16, browser zoom 125 %).
- Separate tracks: mic on track 1, desktop audio on track 2 (Advanced audio properties) — fix balance in the edit.
- Presenter mode on, notifications off (GNOME → Do Not Disturb), clean desktop.
