A lot of us are unable to see anything that says background removal, any idea why this is? OBS is up to date and the 2 files have been copy pasted into the obs folder.
@@embranken Yeah, I don't know what they changed. To fix this, I downloaded an older version of the plugin. If you scroll down you can keep looking for other versions. I downloaded the 0.4.0 (which was in page 3), and that fixed it.
Thank you so much! Just a note for other newbies like me: if you install the Background remover plugin and cannot find it under Audio and Video Filters, you can find it under "Effect Filters"
Question: Background Removal is NOT available in A/V filters, but is available in "Effects Filters". Has this simply been moved to another area? It still seems to operate the same as you mention, although I don't seem to have any options for greenscreen/etc.
Man whenever I look for tutorials I usually have to go through like 5 of them just to get a halfway decent one, but man you're the first one I found when looking into this and you made it very concise and easy to follow, thanks a bunch!
For those commenting about the option to insert a background color being gone, the plugin now uses transparency, which will allow you to insert any picture or other media into your scene behind your webcam image. I assume this is more efficient than chroma key, but either way this works fine.
@@FJamesPrice But thats missing the point isnt it? Putting your webcam on top of your image, does not do anything at all about removing the background of your webcam. It just colors your background a bit, you still see all the objects in your room behind you. Unless I misinterpreted what you said
i've followed this many, many times. For me I only get the option to add the remove background filters under effects not video and audio. Under effect there is no color option to add the GREEN screen when you select the background remover. It works but it means as I do not have the green screen it's not so accurate. Aaah, I just read the latest comments section in the plugin page, developers removed the color option to make it simple.
I am not able to find Colour option on the filter also with the plugin provided filter is coming under Effects itself and not in Audio/Video Filters Any help ?
I followed your video and it's a great step by step, but some things has changed within the plugin you may not be aware of and might want to update. 1st, it now appears in the 'Effects Filter' section, and 2nd, the ability to choose the background color is gone. Everything matches your example except those two. The properties menu now stops at CPU threads and goes no farther. There is no scrolling down. No color selection means I can't make the background green, which means I can't 'greenscreen' it anymore. You might have no upgraded recently to see this, and be wary if you do, as the ability to alter the background color will go away.
I had exacly same issue with you, I'll try to find background removal 1.0 version like in this video. The thing we download was version 1.15, maybe this make a difference.
Hi, in my case i dont have the option to change background color. My background removel apear on effect filters but dont apear on audio/video filters. Can you help me?
Hmmm. I added the plugins as noted, opened OBS and then followed your steps but I did not see Background Removal as one of the options. I restarted OBS twice with no luck. Thoughts?
I redid this SEVERAL times and it always ended up under the EFFECT FILTERS. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I even removed my webcam completely. I was not able to change the background color either. Everything worked fine otherwise, but I am not sure if its just because i'm using OBS29.3.1or not. Any thoughts?
This is the darn best video on this topic - spent couple hrs trying to open the zip file, no other video shows how to incorporate it to OBS..thanks man
I have done everything needed, I downloaded and updated the files, and still do not see "Background Removal" appear at all in my OBS. Everything was downloaded to the right folder and OBS is up to date.
Great video, but the background removal option does not show up for me in my webcam filters. I have installed the plugin, unzipped it and copy/pasted it into the obs folder exactly as you showed in the video, but the filter is simply not showing up :/
Hi, after following the steps, the background removal option is still not showing under Audio/Video Filters. Any help is greatly aprreciated. Thank you
Great plugin and amazing video tutorial. Thank you. I use it with a Mac M1 and the "Background Removal" shows only up in "Effect Filters" but not in "Audio/Video Filters". Any idea how to fix that? Also, I can not choose a background color in the settings of the background removal plugin. Is this because I need to apply and adjust it in "Audio/Video Filters" (which is apparently not showing up) ?
Excellent video! This was exactly what I was looking for - very nicely paced, informative, and easy to follow! Subscribed :) Also, I'll make sure to check out the rest of your OBS tutorials.
idk if things have changed in the last year but after following installation steps, the option to add a filter for removing background went to effect filters, not audio/video filters. While adding the filter still makes it attempt to remove the background, there are no color option for adding a green screen to help with the edges
This did not work for me at all. I followed each step, but the option for Background Removal did not appear in my Audio/Visual filters menu. I use Windows, and I made sure to update OBS before trying this. Anyone have any tips?
This was an excellent tutorial. super helpful and step by step. the only issue I had was copying over those folders. those folders already existed. so I had to look inside those folders and move the files across to the corresponding folders in the existing OBS studio folders
Found a way to fix the frame drop, (I'm using ryzen 7 5800x) Where it says calculate mask every x frame at the bottom of the background removal page- change the 1 to a 2. The Higher the number- less cpu stress. Doesn't look as clean though
I had everything else on my own but the settings. Thank you for that. Robust Video Matting made all the difference. My camera finally stopped showing my floor with it.
Hello Gauging, thank you for sharing. I followed your direction but couldn't remove the background to replace it with a new image because my OBS version is 28.1.2. This version does not have the icon "Background Removal". Could you please share how to do it on the OBS version 28.1.2? Thank you in advance!
for mac the filter background removal in effect filters not audio/video filter, second thing on the settings of the plugins i cannot found to chose background colors
i have an issue,,, my background removal on obs not showed,, i've been try in your tutorial, but not happen at my obs,,, including i have twice replace data removal background.... what should i do,,,
Worked perfect thanks! Google search jumped me partway into the video so I was momentarily confused when the filter wasn't in the list, all good tho once I rewound!
To me, Background Removal appears Effect Filters instead of Audio/Video Filters. Having this said, I hope this will be helpful for those who commented the filter was not listed. -- Great explanation video anyway.
Thx for the tip ! But even tho I don't have significant increase in my CPU or GPU usage, my scene frame rendering time jumped from less than 2ms to 10ms, and some spikes above 1000/60 ms resulting in frame drop. I ended up using the zoom desktop client which have background removal feature, settings the background to a green image, adding a window capture in OBS, adding a crop filter to remove the name and window title then a chroma key filter to remove the green background. Work as well visualy, my frame redering is still at around 2ms and my CPU and GPU aren't significantly impacted. So for those with modest hardware like me, might be another solution if the mentionned plugin cause problem ^^
Thank you so much for the video! It's so easy to follow. I recently started making videos for some lessons and trying to use Zoom cuts down on my audio quality, so I decided to give OBS a shot! This is working a treat, thank you for your work!!
Did everything you told me to in the video, still is NOT working. I go into filters and nothing under "background removal" is there. Idk what to do Ive watched so many tutorials
i have done all of this but when i add the media source and add in the video i want i go back and add in the chroma key it will gray out my background like it does yours but the media source is not there when i click close unless i have the media source between my camera and elgato but then the elgato doesnt pick up like it should
After I installed the Background Removal, the Effect Filters is not having the background colour option or is it that the latest background removers version I downloaded doesnt have it
Great video with clear and concise steps, thank you!! With this setup is it possible to just remove background and have your screen/gameplay behind your outline??

@@scitxo No but since asking I've stopped using a background as it caused problems when trying to show people documents. The camera would no longer focus on a document or anything on paper which I often show my viewers.
@@CATFISHTYLER it turns out that it just switches everything to transparent that’s behind you, so on OBS you just put a different layer behind you and automatically set your background to transparent
My background removal is located under Effect filters whereas yours are Audio/Video filters. Can you help me understand why this is as I cant change the colour of my background to gree as there is no option. Nice video!
THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS!!! I have a Mac, so the color option wasn't available to make a green screen. I'm still messing with it tho. Seems, the more I try to blur the background, the more computing power it takes, making my video VERY choppy.
