FAQ
What do I do if screen flickering immediately occurs when I use retouching features after the Queen SDK plug-in for OBS is installed?
If screen flickering or stuttering occurs, you can add the Scaling/Aspect Ratio filter to the Effect Filters section and place this filter before the Queen filter. Select a resolution that is smaller than the input resolution of the current source, such as 720×1280.
