• Recording a video with OBS Studio creates a .mkv video file.
  To import an .mkv file into Blender (see Instructable link below):
  • (top menu bar) File > New > Video editing
  • (Sequencer menu bar, mid-page) Add > Movie
    browse window opens. Navigate to movie file desired
    double-click to load it
• Edit video in Blender:
  • Tip to set up audio track:
    Click the blue bar audio track
    In Right-hand lower menu box, find Adjust - Sound
    Click Display waveform

  • In very bottom menu bar, at far-right end, you'll see 3 fields:
    • The first is the time/frame marker for current cursor position.
    • The second, labeled Start, is the frame marker where playback will start
    • The last, at far right, labeled End, is the frame marker where playback will cease.

    • You can change all of them in two different ways:
      Position cursor over the one you want to change, and cursor changes to a double-headed arrow.
      Click-hold and drag to re-position the marker to where you want it.
      -OR- with double-arrow showing, single-left click to create an entry box
      type the desired frame number and press enter

  • To cut into a clip:
    • Presumably you'll want to cut both video and audio tracks together:
      ...

  • Export (Render) your edited file:
