Thank you. I'm a noob just starting out titkok and this helps a lot.
You got it, glad it was helpful! Have fun!!
thank you, I finally found it, I JUST KNOW THAT THERE IS a scene collection setting in obs, this setting can also be used to make video or movie or anime reactions?
Yeah, you can have separate scene collections to do whatever you want, but keep all those sources and setups separate from other scenes you use for other things. I have one scene collection for normal streams, another for TikTok/Shorts creation, one for recording TH-cam tutorial videos, and another for hosting competitions.
Thanks for the easy to understand and straight forward video! Just a quick question about canvas resolution since I'm a noob. Whats the diff between base resolution and output resolution? Is the base one what I see on my screen, and the output is what the audience sees when I'm streaming?
If so, then is 1080p or 720p better to stream at since my internet is kinda slow?
Pretty much, yeah! And if your Internet is slower, definitely stream at 720p, probably 30fps. It's about bitrate setup too. You want to do roughly half the upload speed you have. So if you get 10 Mbps upload speed from your Internet provider, you could do about 5000 bitrate. In that case of 5000 bitrate, you should be able to do 1080p with 30fps, or 720p with 60fps, depending on your computer specs too.
do u like obs editing vs premier pro? ur a legend for this video!! thank you homie
I like using OBS to set up my scenes just how I want them, so I don't have to do much video editing after the fact - just cutting the beginning/end pieces off and sticking together a couple clips or whatever.
For video editing though, I use and love Davinci Resolve. It's free, is pretty easy to learn, and has a TON of features. Adobe is probably the best, but what Davinci has for free vs paying outrageous amounts for Adobe products is way better in my opinion.
Merci
very helpful ! how can you set a timer on OBS which doesn't appear on the video but that records for a given duration (for ex. 60 seconds or 180 seconds - to make a TH-cam short or a Tiktok video). I've seen tutorials on countdown timers but they appear in the video. I'm just looking for something that starts and stops a recording after a given duration of time. any clews ?
It's called Selective Recording. It's a feature that Streamlabs has, but I still don't believe an OBS plugin has been created for. With it however, you can select for each source, what you want to go to stream, what to go to recording, or what you want to show up in both.
I don't know of a way to have either only record for a certain point of time and then stop though. I'd say just have your phone next to do and start a timer on it when you hit record, and then could make a sound when time is up or something. 🤷♂️
Great vid dude, what’s the background music please?
Thank you! Unfortunately, I'm not sure 😣. I lost all my files when my hard drive crashed a few months ago, and don't have the original video editor file or the music files anymore. I know it was from the TH-cam music library, but that's all I know. Sorry!
@@GameNightStudio no worries mate thanks for the quick reply appreciate it, keep up the solid work!
@@SullyDad Thanks, will do!
I created a new source without importing my old one now I got to re make my set up agin
Do you mean a new scene collection? Because you would be able to select the other one and it should be there. I'm not sure how creating a new source would delete anything else.
@@GameNightStudio yes sorry, my mind is not in the right place at the moment
@@ElvenmageEXE all good! Glad you didn't lose anything!! The amount of times I've had to redo all my setups because of computer crashes and glitches and stuff is dumb and so annoying!
What are the settings if I want it to record my full screen. Just the game, vertically for tiktok? I am not recording me play, just me screen. Most of the OBS settings videos for tiktok only shows how to adjust for more than one screen
So you want only a gameplay window captured? All you would need to do is set up the Base & Output resolution to vertical format as explained in the video, and then you can throw in that single source into OBS. Then stretch/crop/position it however you want.
For example, if you want the game play to take up most of the vertical screen, that would be a zoomed in window of your gameplay. So you can stretch the window outside the canvas borders to the size you want. You'll lose gameplay from the sides, but you can have it take up more of the vertical screen.
My advice for this though would be to just record the gameplay in your normal widescreen aspect ratio. Then you can throw into a video editor (highly recommend Davinci Resolve), set that up for vertical format, and then zoom/position the gameplay how you want before exporting it. The benefit here is that you will have the entire field of view from the game play after the fact to position how you want. If something happened a little off from what OBS is capturing if you're only recording zoomed in gameplay, then you can't get that back.
Does that make sense and help?
Hey! Quick question for anybody please. How do I have both audio from the computer (mac) and an external microphone? both at the same time
Under Settings -> Audio. Set up your devices under there. Desktop would be your Mac computer audio, then you can set up a Mic by selecting one under the Mic/Auxiliary Audio drop-down.
My question is, let's say I have a recorded video with the normal 16:9 and I wanna edit part of that video for Reels in such a way that I can show all part of the recorded video in reels displaying my work progress. An example would be me making an art work, and I want turn that art work recorded video into reels but still want my art work progress to be displayed showing everything I did across the 16:9 recorded video. How do I show everything as reels.....please i don't know if you understand my question?
You would have to use a video editor for that, and you'd have two options I can think of:
1. Put the 16:9 widescreen video into the editor, but render it in 9:16 format. The full video will show, but will only take up the 1/3 or so of the vertical screen. You could add in other images or text or whatever into the blank space so it's not just all blank space, but this would let the full video be seen in vertical format.
2. If there is a good spot to 'cut' the 16:9 video in at some points longways, you could then stack those two parts on top of each other in the 9:16 vertical format. For instance, if you have the actual drawing taking place in one part of the screen, and then maybe a face cam, reference material, etc. duplicate the video, crop each one to the respective section you want, and then organize them in the 9:16 format.
I use DaVinci Resolve for video editing. It's free and incredibly good. Once you learn how to do either of these, if becomes very fast to make these edits.
Hope this helps!
You are sure a wonderful person.....God bless you🥰
for some reason when i make a new scene collection and go to settings and type the resolution in it wont change to iphone format im following all instructions, any tips?
Hey Lucid . . . I have not heard of this problem before. So in OBS, you're going to Settings --> Video --> Clicking in Base (Canvas) Resolution, and then trying to type in 1080x1920, but it won't let you? Does anything appear in the drop down box (the dropdown should just have different scaled versions of the normal 1920x1080)? Are you able to do this in your normal scene collection, or it just doesn't work at all?
If you're actually in Streamlabs, you follow the same steps, except you have to click "Use Custom" next to the Base & Output Resolution fields in your Video Settings. You can't type directly into that box in Streamlabs.
i did some reaserch and try type in 720 x 1280 that worked for me
doesnt changing settings change all setting for all scene collects? better to create a new profile ??
Yeah, it changes it across all scene collections, so you'd have to change it back. I have the different scene collections to help keep my scenes in my live streaming collection a little more manageable. I guess you could use a different profile, but I think it's faster for me to change the resolution real quick than to sign out and back in between profiles. Whatever works better for you!
@@GameNightStudio Thanks
care to show us how to make those "like caption , share" etc appear at @2:36 mark
Hey! I added those in my video editor for this video. I had those 3 pictures (PNG or JPG files), dragged and dropped into my editor (DaVinci Resolve), and resized and moved into place into the timeline where/when I wanted them to appear.
However, this could be done in OBS if you'd like. You would just add in a Source for "Image", select the file, resize and position where you would want it to appear. Then under Settings -> Hotkeys, you could find those sources and set them up to a hot key to appear/disappear when you want. If you have a streamdeck, set the hotkey/action on the stream deck instead
I would generally recommend doing these types of actions in a video editor. The hotkey actions I would generally have more for something like a live stream to trigger an animation or picture I'd want to show. But if you want to do as much in OBs as possible without a video editor, and you have something like a "please like and subscribe" animation you want to use in your videos, you could have that set up in OBS with the hotkey to trigger at the right time during your recording to show up directly on your recorded OBS video.
I hope this helps!!
If it wont let me change my output scaled resolution what do I do? It lets me change the base canvas to 1080x1920 but not the output scaled resolution...
It won't let you type in that field at all? I've never heard of that issue. Only thing I can think of if that's the case is updating OBS?
@@GameNightStudio it won’t let me change it. I do have the updated version and this video is the old version but I don’t think that’s the issue. It just gives me the options 1920x1080 1280x720 so forth so on. It won’t let me manually type in that bar only the drop down options that are preset.
@@exquzitgaming That's really strange. I was going to try troubleshooting it, but apparently my computer won't boot all the sudden 😵
Do you have Facebook as your streaming service selected? If so, from researching online, it looks like that will prevent you from changing this option. So you'd have to change to another streaming service, and then it should allow you to do it (I know it works on my end for Twitch or TH-cam selected).
If that's not the case, I unfortunately I don't know what else could be causing it.
Same problem here it must be something with the new update . It lets you change top one but not the bottom
@@Zottyworld What streaming service do you have selected?
I have the newest OBS (version 28.0.2), and it works just fine for me as normal to switch those settings.
So if I want to record Minecraft but want it to fill the entire vertical screen (for a reel), I would just stretch out source box till it fills the entire scene?
Yep! Simple as that. You just might need to play around with it a bit to make sure it's capturing everything you want from the gameplay screen. I don't usually go the whole vertical screen filled, but more like 2/3 full for that type of stuff, just so you can see more of the game itself.
The other option is to just record it in full widescreen like normal, and then throw it into an editor with vertical formatting set, and then you can move/stretch the video to fit as needed. That would take the extra step in the video editor though.
Thank you so much for your help!
@@alh_momcraft1155 you got it, have fun with the videos!! 😀
I am not being able to edit the output (scaled) resolution. Can you help please ?
What is it doing? Is it letting you type/change in the field for the Base (Canvas) Resolution? Does the Output (Scaled) Resolution at least have the dropdown box, or does it not let you do anything at all? I haven't heard of that issue before.
If you can type in the new resolution for the Base (Canvas) Resolution, the dropdown box for the Output (Scaled) Resolution should update accordingly, so you should be able to select the matching resolution
@@GameNightStudio so it basically let me edit the base, the drop down list is available for the output but no resolution same as I input in the base one. I'm looking to have the same 1080x1920 for both. And yes I can't edit the output list.
@@JimmyTheCr3ator Very strange . . . Is OBS updated? What if you try doing 720x1280 instead? Does that happen to show up?
@@GameNightStudio I just tried the 720x1280 still the same issue. Yes OBS is updated. Anyway I will go with streamlabs for my 1080x1920 output and OBS for 1920x1080. Thanks for your revert though.
I'm trying to fit my fps game all into a YT short and I'm having extreme trouble and can't figure out how to stretch the whole thing? Can anyone help
Stretch what exactly?
I'm trying to fit my one game into a whole YT shorts as a whole
@@Syvix_ The only way to do that would be resize the widescreen to fit in the vertical format. So you're going to have a lot of empty space above/below the game, unless you fill it with something else.
If you're using a video editor or OBS, you should be able to just realize the gameplay video into the 9x16 format screen.
Does that help?
I have the center filled with my game but the top and bottom are empty. I was wanting to fill this with my game that is also in the center. But I don't know if that would be possible.
I could share screen on discord if u would be willing to help?
This worked great last Friday, then I went to record a new vid today and POOF. You can no longer change the resolution to 1080x1920 with the newest update (monday). I'm agitated.
EDITED TO ADD:
I kept playing around with it. It kept telling me that I couldn't change the BASE res to 1080, but if I changed the OUTPUT to the 1080x1920, I could then go back and change the base again. grr...
That's weird. I'll have to look and see what it's doing on my end. I haven't done an update yet I don't think this week.
sad all this work just for nothing, youtube never see's this as a short, waste of time
thanks
