 In this video, I'm going to be covering a couple of the basics about how to copy overlays between scenes in e-cam live Hello, welcome to take one tech My name's Alec and this video is basically has come about because of a question that came up in office hours Doc Rocks office hours last weekend and It was to do with basically overlays and how you move them or copy them between Scenes and I realized that perhaps in a lot of my videos I haven't necessarily gone down into the sort of fine detail of these things So it's just a little thing a little video short video this one about how to copy overlays between scenes But hopefully it should all become clear by the end of the video exactly what I'm talking about So without further ado, I'm going to go straight on into my demo mode and what I've got here is I've got a series of scenes down the the left side and then I've also got my My overlays in this side here So first of all what I want to do is just talk about the overlays panel itself So the we've got show in all scenes So there's a heading there and then there's a couple of other grade headings Which is show in current scene and show in the background Now hopefully those should be fairly self-explanatory Show in all scenes are basically overlays that when they're toggled on and off and by the way You can see the little eye icons next to them And whether they are currently on or off and if they are on then you will see those in all scenes Whereas the ones that say show in current scene are specific to that particular scene Then you've got show in background which will appear in all scenes But in the background and they'll be behind everything else So that is basically the overlays panel itself, but the specific question was about copying overlays from one scene to another Now the scenes panel itself over on this side This just contains all of the different named scenes that you have So there is no overlays going to appear in here This is literally just the name of all the different scenes and I've got my my main scene here I've got another scene which is my screen sharing so this one so you can see that I've got that screen sharing I've got another one which is screen sharing, but the other way round I've got lots of other different Scenes that I've got set up But what I've done now is I've created two blank scenes So I've got this one and then just to differentiate the two I've created one with a completely different background So there we go. Those are two scenes Now what you'll notice about both of those scenes is in these cases there is nothing that is shown in the current scene It's just purely the background So what I'm going to do is I'm going to add a image to the an image to the The scene so you'll see if I drag this image in and drop it There you go. And by the way, this is something I'm currently doing for the month of September the great cycle challenge There's a team of us and we're riding a thousand a thousand miles not all in one go by the way It's a team effort as well A thousand miles to raise money for kids cancer So if you fancy checking that out and supporting it then head to take one tech I o slash ride And show your support there because it would be much appreciated. It's for a great great cause But now I've got an image that has been dropped into this scene So the image that's dropped into the scene as well has now appeared in this show in current scene But what I want to show you as well is if I just delete this out So I'll come to this scene come down to the little trash there I'll delete that out and now if I go to the the scene itself So this is just this new scene if I were to lock that scene Nothing can be added into it So if I were to now drop an image onto this window here and just drop it like that What you can see is this this is now appeared in the show in all scenes because you can't actually edit anything in the Current scene so that's just something to be aware of as well if you have locked your scene You won't be able to add any overlays into that specific scene And if you unlock the scene then the default behavior is that it's going to drop it into that scene Now if you want to You've dragged this in now say I did want this to appear in all scenes What you can also do is you can come down here and you can grab the overlay and then just move it up And you can see that it's reordering it so I could move it right to the top and now this will appear in every scene So no matter which scene I go to it's going to be there in this one It's going to be there in this one and it's going to be there in this one So that is now appearing in all scenes and that just because I've dragged it out But if I go back to that original one We may not may not want it to be in all scenes. We may just want it to be in this scene alone So I can drag it back down and I can make sure it says show in current scene So now it is not going to be in all of these ones But what if you wanted to copy this over to another scene? Maybe you only want it in one more So let's say I come over to this one and I did want it in here One way that you can do that and the easiest way you can do that is if you come over to the show in current scene Panel where the the overlay is and by the way, if I just come back to that other scene here You'll notice that there's nothing shown in current scene there at the moment. Okay So I'm going to come back to the original one and now what I'm going to do is I'm going to grab that overlay from that Show in current scene window there or the section there rather of the window and I'm going to actually drag the overlay Onto the scene that I want it to appear in so you can see that there's a little plus icon Toggled next to it. So that's showing that it's going to add it into that scene and when I let it go It hasn't actually moved physically into this panel However, if I click on that particular scene like this, we now do have that overlay is still there And if I come down to the bottom, it's now showing in the current scene of that scene as well So that is really the extent of this little demo It is to show how you can move things around and move overlays around Between scenes and how you can structure them and by the way all of these scenes that I sorry all of these overlays that I have You've got to think of them as a Stack basically and whatever is at the top of the pile will appear on the top of the the output. So If for example, I was to drag this and create another one Let me just do this quickly so now we've got two of these these images and Say I wanted this one to be behind then all you need to do is just remember that as I say they are if I fuck all this one Let me just make this clear which one this one is This one's currently the top And by the way, you can just double click and rename them and this one's the bottom Now if you want to swap them around then you simply just come down here and drag them and drag the one from below To above and then that will flip the order So just think of this as I say like layers basically in graphics programs So whatever is further down the list will be further down in the stack and will be in that therefore behind other things as well So as I say that is the extent of what I wanted to show you today But it has been a little segue into introducing this little graphic So if you do want to support me and the rest of the team then head over to take one tech Dot I o slash ride and that will take you to the actual website and my my page on the for the great cycle challenge where I Originally set myself the goal of 200 miles in the month But I'm already pretty much halfway there to be honest at day seven So I'm going to change that to I think 500 or something like that's put Anyway, it's all for a good cause so I'd really appreciate if you would head over there and and show your support In the meantime if you found this video useful, then don't forget to like and subscribe And I'll leave a link to some more e-com live videos over on the right hand side If I press the right stream deck button not my screen sharing button This is the one that I want I'll leave a link to some more e-com live videos over on the bottom right so until the next video have a wonderful day
