    Thank you, Cat. Great presentation. I love your style. Very natural and open, with plenty of enthusiasm to go with your great voice and infectious smile. It beats me why someone would give you a thumbs down for this. As a newbie to OBS, I have encountered many frustrations, but your videos always bring clarity. I will definitely use this technique with my presentations.🤙🏼😊

    Cat, you are simply the best IMO. Thank you for sharing and for always striving to provide resources for excellence... especially in my case, a ‘newbie’ to this, however, I believe I’m coming along swiftly.

    Thanks for a great video! You did great keeping your cool while having all these internet problems - it was not even noticable.
    From what I know, the internet uses what we call non-deterministic protocols. Therefore, no matter how fast your computer/modem/internet speed is, there is always the possibility of a delay, which causes buffering. The internet and devices have become so fast that the protocols have become almost irrelevant, but we do get the occasional delay. It's like buying a faster car in the hopes of getting to places faster; This works most of the time when the highway is less congested. But, if you do end up in rush hour traffic, it is possible that you might get delayed.

    Thank you so much for your videos and I only wish I discovered your videos sooner but I’m so glad that the wealth of information on here is really filling in everything I was trying to learn on my own. I am using OBS for learning experiences not gaming or church service so this is so much more related to what I’m doing. I got a course on Udemy that’s pretty good but this is giving me so much more applicable detail and exposure to other methods of adding or integrating other software. I also so appreciate you like myself are used to keeping a smile on and moving on when things are going ‘horribly’ wrong while you’re delivering live! That is so quintessential to any live performer👏😆 you are fantastic and thank you so much for these helpful videos!

    Hi Cat, I stumbled upon your channel and I am so glad I did. Awesome stuff. I have a question that I’m sure others may have, do you find any resistance to having zoom participants switch from gallery to speaker view? I understand the impact of presenting with virtual cameras, however I feel customers I am presenting to can be a bit hesitant being pushed to a different process. Thanks.

    • @CatMulvihill
      @CatMulvihill  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have not found that to be a problem myself, although most of my presentations use share screen (I share my 'production' through Zoom's screen share), which puts the focus on the presentation anyway.

The only way I found was to save all the PP slides as images and then use them as an image show, which is not the same as being able to use the scroll buttons in PP which I would prefer.

    Hey Cat, great video. I have a simple question, how did you get your video to come out of the from from OBS? When I drag my camera source outside of the frame in OBS, you can no longer see it. When I got to windows projector, I see the form from windows. What did you do to get yours to pop out? I am not sure I am that clear but I think its a good start. Basically, I want to minimize OBS, record my screen, and see myself in the video without the ugly border lol. Thanks

    This was a great tutorial. My question is when you apply the image mask filter to the camera source, it seems that no matter what scene you add that source to the mask would be applied. So in order to switch between the video with the image mask and the full screen video you need two cameras? Is that correct? Thanks.

    • @TroyJohnston-gmail
      @TroyJohnston-gmail 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hey Cat - I worked it out after a bit of googling.
      Step 1 - I needed to apply the circle filter to the scene itself. Not the camera. I called this scene "Setup_Circle PIP" as you dont actually use it. This creates the mask full size, but as you've applied it to the scene you cant re-size or move it - yet.
      Step 2 - Then create another scene .... BUT for the source of this one - select the Scene : Setup_Circle PIP... not the camera. I called this scene "Circle PIP" and this is the one that I will then use. This scene can have the image resized and dragged to the left as you showed.
      Now I can readily transition between the Main Camera scene and the Circle PIP scene.
      I had to do this as it was not possible for me otherwise to add the filter to my webcam without it affecting all pre-existing scenes.

      Glad you found this. Another viewer let me know about this. I do believe it's different between Mac and Windows since I was able to add a second camera source with the same camera (one with the filter, one without). But this approach is probably best practice regardless of which OS you are using.
