TRANSCRIPT EXCERPT\r

Hey everyone, its Derek with Nerd or Die. And In this video Im going to show you how to use filters to modify your sources inside of OBS Studio. This will allow you to do things like cropping, green screen effects, and even delay different sources.\r
\r
The thing you need to realize about filters, is that they can be added to every source individually. However, if you apply filters to a source in one scene, they will carry over to any other scenes that your sources are used in. This means that if you want to have different filters applied to the same source, youd have to add that type of source in again, and then name it something different, such as image 2. Well touch more on this in a future video, about setting up our scenes. Another thing Id like to quickly mention is that there are two types of filters: Audio/Video Filters and Effects Filters. Were going to start by going through each effect filter first.\r
\r
Lets move on to an easier to understand filter, crop. Add it just like we did for the Image Mask/Blend filter, and well see a familiar set up. Leave Relative check marked. Lets pretend that our webcam has a bit too much showing on the left side and top. We can use the arrows on the right to slowly adjust the amount to crop by simply clicking and holding.\r
\r
The scroll filter can ually be used in some interesting ways. First, its very useful to make text sources move from left to right, if theyre too long. Next, lets say you have a repeatable pattern, or maybe a static image that youd like to see move a bit, you can use scroll to make it move horizontally or vertically. To do so, just adjust the sliders with the speed of each direction youd like to have it move. OBS will automatically make the source sort of repeat itself.\r
\r
Lets go ahead and move on to our next filter, the Color Key, but lets ually talk about Chroma key as well. So, you might have tried each of these out yourself, and you may be wondering “whats the difference”? Well, Im going to make it quite simple for you. If you want to filter out or hide a green screen, use the Chroma Key. From what Ive read and seen before, Chroma key is what more streamers will want to use. A color key can be useful with graphics with a specific color youd like removed.\r
\r
Anyways, Im going to ually add in an image as an example of a green screen, and show you what the settings do inside of these filters. Lets work with the chroma key. We can work from the preset colors under Key Color Type, or we can pick a color of our own. Fro green screens, this is generally the best idea, to select the closest color to your screen possible. So, with Custom Color selected, lets hit select color. Here, we can select colors in various ways, or we can ually use “Pick Screen Color” to pull up a sort of eye dropper that will match the color were hovering over. Go to your source and select the most common color shade you see in it, that youd like to key out. Simply click it and youll have the color you need. You can hit Add to custom colors, to save this color selection, and then Okay. If youre using a green screen, you might already see some good results, if not, dont worry, we can do some tweaking to the options.\r
\r
First, if you plan on using a green screen, I cant recommend anything better than properly lighting it. Having a more consistent color of green screen will produce the best results. Ideally the entire screen is the ex same color/shade. But, in reality this isnt possible. So, lets talk about what each option does.
