 Hi there, welcome back to my YouTube channel. This is Daniel Rosal here. Welcome to another video Demonstrating one more thing I figured out to do using OBS studio. This is my daily process of exploring learning about OBS For Ubuntu Linux, although a lot of these videos are actually applicable for different whether using OBS on Windows or Mac as well The things I figure out to do may be useful So I figure out so I figure why not just put them out there for whoever it might be interested there as usual I don't suggest this is necessarily the very best way to do this. There are probably alternatives. There may be better ways I'm just showing a way to do this. Let me describe what I want to show Now I was just doing a video about ADHD something to talking about how Distraction is one of the things that Visual distraction and cutting off LED. Whatever. It doesn't really matter. What matters is the technical production details And that's that I wanted to show a Amazon listing of a product and I wanted to show a review of that listing page. So I've gone ahead and set up OBS studio here on this screen and what I want to do is let's just go and add the Screen whoops, sorry, it's the wrong one So yeah, that's the one we want now typically when I add a screen I like to do a little bit of filtering work here cropping work now You can see there's crop top left bottom right and I've talked about this in another video Regarding censoring personal info. So in this case, I don't like to show the Omni bar of chrome I don't want really people show seeing my bookmark bar now I could use a guest profile, but it's easier to do it this way particularly if there's stuff in the head or the website itself That you don't make you don't want making it into the video Now you can see there's also in the bottom here. I've got like my Indication icon, so I don't want any of this stuff. And while I'm at it. Let's get rid of the scroll bar from the right So you can see me beginning to crop away at this They take off a few pixels from the left and now we're pretty good, right? So this is better than what we had before it's more focused now if I wanted to Transition over to this during my recording slash stream, whatever You can see we have a problem here Now it doesn't fit I'm gonna take off studio mode to make this a bit easier to see it doesn't fit on to the 1920 by 1080 canvas now Of course one option here would be to Stretch out, but you're going to be losing some of the width We wanted to include because we're having to scale that out to fill up the To fill up the canvas now you might want to have every little bit every particular Facet of the screen might be important to you So you want to keep it now the problem is if you want to transition over to this The background if you don't have anything else going on in your OBS It's going to come out as black. Do you see the way there's a black color that I have my overlay Let's just take off the overlay for a second So it's just going on to black and that may not be you may want to have a nicer background going on So here is today's tip so I'm gonna go into gimp and this is where it is Linux Linux specific a little bit because I Think it's mostly Linux people using gimp And what I can do is create a background So let's say I wanted to have some kind of a fancy gradient background. I don't know Let's go for something a little bit Ridiculous, but that'll just demonstrate like this yellow orange So I got this background going on and I could let's just say that I wanted there to be some text on the background Whoops to your capitals You know something like this now I realize this is tacky and it doesn't look great I'm just trying to demo something you might want to have and let's duplicate this layer a couple of times as if This were kind of you know what those events where you have these These kind of advertising billboards. So some kind of an effect like that kind of a canvas that Whoops a canvas that you'd want to When you put something up on top of it, you'd want this to come and I'm just gonna show you It's gonna have an effect the kind of effect. We're gonna achieve by doing this so That is that is how that's going to work and let me just go ahead now and save this as I'm gonna call it like branded Background filler now my recommendation is to save all these Things you create in a folder that you can later access You don't need to redo them so that if you're gonna be using them for multiple videos They're gonna look the same. This is as much a note to self as it is a note to other people So I've gone ahead now and just Exported that from OBS and now I'm gonna go back over to my OBS and Let me Add in that as a image. I'm gonna call it branded background And I'll just fish it out of my Desktop doesn't look Spectacular, but it's there now what I'm gonna do now is create a Creative group that's gonna join up these two things. So I'm gonna have my screen three Which let's just say for the purpose of this video. I want to call it Amazon products and the branded background and I'm going to put them into a group and I'm gonna call this Amazon products and The advantage of this is that it's already in use because I just did that before so Let's just call it Amazon mouse, okay, so now I've created a group and Called Amazon mouse when they can even hide the constituent elements now the advantage of what I've just done is that If we want to we can move these two things together as a layer, so let's say gray background is here and Let's say I'm just using OBS in studio mode. So what I can do is Get ready to transition over to Mouse now mice is going to transition across now. You can see I'm scrolling through The screen that I cropped out and it's there's a background on the back of it now as I said This wasn't this this was not a beautiful design masterpiece by any Strategy imagination, but you could use this for You know a couple of Amazon products you're going to show and you want when you swap over if you don't want to crop out Rescale that layer then you could use this methodology and have something like a branded background that you use repeatedly group that in OBS together with the source of The screen you want to show and that way when you want to transition over to that or go over to that scene You can have those set up that they're going to move across together And that will mean that you're not going to instead of having a black default background layer That's going to be visible under the part of the screen that doesn't show Might look a bit more visually appealing to have your branded background there Hope that video is useful if you want to get more OBS tutorials then feel free to subscribe to this YouTube channel
