'Record active speaker, gallery view and shared screen separately' setting doesn't work

[jammmsmimmm]

I'm recording some interviews, and I'd like to edit the video with each speaker recorded as a separate file. I've checked the 'Record active speaker, gallery view and shared screen separately' setting in account settings in Zoom and then recorded an interview (meeting), then recording to the cloud, but it is still just recording the gallery view. Is there a way to ensure this actually works? 

My end game is to edit the video in Premiere Pro, which is why I want the highest possible resolution video of each individual speaker in separate video files. I thought that was possible in Zoom - if not I'd love to find out what the best alternative is! And if so I'd love to know how to make it happen reliably.

Getting discrete video feeds of each speaker is not currently possible using Zoom Cloud or Local Recording (active speaker only includes a full-screen recording of who was speaking at a specific point in time).

Not too long ago, Zoom acquired Liminal, a company that that had created a solution to this problem (isolated video streams for broadcast, recording, post, etc). Their software is now officially under the Zoom umbrella (as I understand it) - unfortunately, it is MacOS-only at this time and does require a monthly subscription fee.

Alternatively, if you happen to have at least (1) Zoom Rooms license, you can enable NDI output and push individual participant feeds out on your network via NDI. From there, you can process/record these however you want from another computer on your network using NewTek's free 'NDI Tools' package, OBS, vMix, etc.
