I was actually looking at hiring VBI to do a full rebrand and overlay but my budget was $1K which at the time I thought was excessive but their minimum is $5,000. I want this really clean minimalistic overlay that works both with green screen and without and reminds you of being in a very high-end fantasy tavern. I wanted to rebrand to The Adventure's Guild. The real magic the would be the animated alerts. When someone would sub or tip in any way a guest book would come up on screen like an old fashioned parchment paper tome and a quill would write their message out on screen under a picture of their twitch profile pic that the quill would also draw. I also had a bunch of ideas for transitioning and using the new features and obs to do some cool innovative transition setups that made it look like I was in a building and we walked from one scene to another.
So happy to see Nutty in here! I've been watching his videos for a while now and it really helped me come up with an overlay that fits me... although I'm still a LOT behind lmao
I've designed my own overlays and layouts for my channel, but I'd love to have more awesome animations close to what Doc has for his. Honestly the examples shown are all very creative. I value my own work though, as I have put a lot of time into it.
The best overlay I've seen is JordanRasko's. She has created a lot of interactive elements for her stream, but my favorite is when she gets a hype train. She has an overlay that puts her head inside the car from Street Fighter, and different characters come out to beat up the car depending on the subs and bits donated. It gets more extreme as the level of the hype train increases. It's a very cinematic experience.
I would like to shout out LoadingArtist. he's a comic artist and his unique style bleeds through ALL that he does on stream. Intros, overlays, notifications, hype train animations, even his camera angle and design.. it's amazing. And all custom built by himself. Love it!
Doc is a beast with his "universe." Glad to see Nutty on this list, he deserves the recognition for sure. I thought I was the only one seeing the stream sideways lmao
The best overlays I see day in and day out is CozyGam3r. This guy has something new almost EVERY stream.. I’ve been there for the Price is Right, Trivia, and some other super fun streams. To me he is a mix of Dr. Disrespect with his green screen but then Harris with his simplicity. He is a Partner but criminally underrated thanks to Twitch’s algorithm
This list put those legends on my radar and I have been deep-diving into so much. I have a set-up brewing with so many elements. I'm ever-looking for more creative streamers out there. It does seem few and far between
Do that many people really care if a camera is "crooked?" Honestly, I enjoy those kind of shots as long as they're well thought out. Someone with an eye for cinematography/photography could really have fun with this stuff. Another issue is just having the room to be able to position your equipment like you want to. Not everyone has that luxury. Either way, cool vid. I just think the camera angle thing is a bit of a non-issue imo.
I swear, you and stream scheme are literally all of my source of information and tips for creating a professional and engaging stream for the few viewers that I have.
You should find someone else. Harris is lying in all his videos. He can't even get more than 500 people to watch his streams. Even when he steamed on this TH-cam channel with 600k subs and on his twitch where he has over 150k followers. He's insanely unsuccessful a streaming. He does everything he tells people to yet be has a well under 1% conversion rate. That's worse than me lol Harris is literally a liar, almost no one respects him in the space besides small steamers who are just looking for guidance. I have averaged over 100 viewers while having less than 4k followers across twitch and TH-cam lol I'm half as successful as Harris at live streaming yet I have access to less than 1% of his audience Harris hellers streams is the equivalent of a Walmart being completely empty. If you take advice from him you WILL fail. Harris can't even succeed in livestreaming while being the most popular live stream advice TH-camr lol this is just a other version of the self helper scammer
@@BodieMoto true however he isn’t my only source of information, trust me I’m not about to put al my eggs in one basket. He has some pretty sound advice but I also watch Stream Scheme and he has some pretty good advice aswell. I’m pretty small and basically freshly starting out as far as streaming is concerned. I want to find some growth, and between Harris and Stream Scheme I’ve found some pretty good advice and information.
I am legitimately shook that SceneOfAction is not mentioned here. This guy didn't only make his own overlays complete with 24 camera angles and assets that intelligently react to things he does, and things his chat does - but he also mastered AutoHotKey combined with voice recognition, and also integrated into Alexa, to control his DAW, give-aways, his lighting system, his special effects, etc. He is insane. You watch him, and most think it is pre-recorded or with a full team of people working behind him.
Hey, quick question :) I really wanna start streaming apex... My game runs fine and my cpu is on arouns 60c when its running with discord... However when i try and just turn on replay thing (to record highlights in 120 fps) the cpu temp goes to 90. So will thw streaming cause the cpu to be even higher temp or? I have around 3 overlays (none are animated so everything works nice). Thanks a lot :) Pc : RTX 2060 Super R5 2600x overclocked to 4 ghz 16gb ram 3200mhz
@@seleneebeex3 i have some stock coolers i think... I really am not sure... Was thinking about getting water cooling if i can just stream and game on 144 fps on this pc
The AI from the streamer can be done VIA the CV2 module in python. It's not terribly difficult to get it to work because most of the library is so powerful. The integration is really nice and smooth though. Definitely elegant design.
There's a lot of ways to do it in various languages, but like any AI driven thing, a lot of work is in the small details and training it to work well. But that comes with time and effort :)
@@PixelKhaos agreed. What I was trying to address is that one can figure it out without needing a computer science degree, but it's a lot of work. Your statement is more elegant though.
They used the same kind of technique as his 20 camera setup to make those awesome shots in the matrix, they had to add some CG in between the frames to make it look less choppy, really cool to implement that into a stream!
Hey bro I've been for some reason procrastinating streaming for months (and my streams usually are extremely good for the channel) and I broke the chain yesterday! I just wanted to thank you for all your amazing videos, I've been watching your work for many years and I'm a very big fan Cheers!!
The only thing I'm missing at this point is the 4000 watch time hours. I feel so close but yet so far....I'm gonna keep grinding and delivering content but damn is it a slow grind. I love it though. I've invested so much money into equipment so this is gonna have to work lol!
I hope to be on this list one day =( I do a lot of similar things to Nutty, mad respect to the dude! I also design my streams graphics and animations myself, I even just released an animated Valorant overlay that looks super clean in game, cant even tell its an overlay thats how well it blends in!
I’m convinced you are green screening in these backgrounds, so that when you’re ready to launch whatever will be taking place there, it has more shock value.
Dude... Another streamer y'all should see is IngameAsylum... His overlay and animations and stuff for raid welcoming.. is absolutely INSANE... They're so amazing!
my dude i have to assume you haven't seen TheSushiDragon because idk how he wouldn't have blown this list AWAY. take a second and heck him out, seriously
Pokelink has enabled entirely reactive layouts for supported pokemon games for ~2 years? I admire the simplistic result lachlan went with, but that's just a frame-level image classifier / SSD (single shot detector) with something reacting on the scene (could be using any manner of implmentations to achieve this - personally I've use a standard websocket to communicate any changes/updates in real time). I don't mean to downgrade the result, but this isn't the only instance of this (minus the example, and my own project,) surely?
I've been diving pretty deep into the OBS rabbit hole and picking up lots of unique effects. I was wondering if you had any recommendations on where to learn more about this. Any sort of rigging of an automated / reactive effect would be great. Thanks!
wait. the dude with multiple cameras. why dont he just go and get a motion rig or slider bars? program movement into it and connect to his obs or stream deck?? i mean yeah it is expensive but so is 20 cameras and 5 quad camlinks. lol. still its really dope af but still just curious.
That’s a good question, I also think it’s cool. I think it’s a cool athletic with the bit of jitter. If that’s the right word. Idk how to explain it. Anyway, have a great day! 😎👍
I've used that trick a couple times, first time I thought of it was when I was making a wallpaper for my monitor, I took a picture from behind my monitor and used that as the wallpaper so the monitor looked transparent. I did it to fake f stop blur my webcam when using my greenscreen as well, varied results but loads of creative options, you can edit the background to be animated and have elements glitch out or move on their own, or impose fake objects into it =)
@@jagdteaguer Its a great idea, looks really good, I mentioned it on he's stream, I personally wouldnt know how to do it, but Nutty is super good at that sort of stuff
Sorry way off topic but i was listening to your amazing songs in streambeats with spotify when an add started playing (as i dont pay for premium) and the add had Stay by Bieber playing in it, have you heard of people getting DMCA strikes just from Spotify ads before? Could that be a potential lawsuit against Spotify if it gets your account taken down? All Hypothetical just curious.
Dude I builded car which can be controlled with twitch chat / wisp chat .. with camera and rfid in front of the car for start / finish :D (also database of winners and custom programmed overlay)
I ordered an overlay set from Owned and it broke my streaming. When I try to record I drop every frame…. All of them. Working with them for a bit in trying to figure it out, nothing worked.
I'm just dying to know how and with what Doc made that lil scene...its so clean! I gas station, the Diablo, the buildings, his logo on top.........can someone PLEASE explain it to me how he did it? 😢😢😭
If I may be honest, it seems that Lachlan's layout seems to function in a similar way that Michael Reeve's Airsoft/Fortnite project works. Ngl, I'm impressed with that
You got to be careful when implementing something like Lachlan did. Depending on how you do this, it might trigger some anti-cheat programs. Maybe it could be an idea for game creator to give an API so that it would be easier to develop a similar integration without triggering the anti-cheat software.
I think maybe not necessarily. An AI program that 'watches' your gameplay is just looking at your screen the same way OBS does, but analyzing the frames afterwards. I don't think it taps into the game itself at all.
Alright, if you could have a completely custom overlay, who's style would you want to be closest to?
Dr Disrespect 💯🔥♥️
I would want Lachlan’s one but if the ai thing would work for my game, Sea of Thieves
Dr.Disrespect FOR SURE
I would combine courage animations and scenes with Lachlans AI. I love Lachlan's.

Congratulations on 600k you deserve it thanks for all the awesome information you give us
Mr. Gregles streams are always insane. He is a blast to watch and chat with
Wish I can work on a project like Doc's designs one day.
It's incredible how he managed to create his own immersive world.
I really like DrLupo's setups. His intros to Tarkov and Apex are amazing.
I feel like this entire video was a setup just to throw shade at Courage and I approve lol
I can't believe you got away with playing the entirety of "I'm So Sad, So Very, Very Sad" by Crash and the Boys.
Always been more of a fan of "We Hate You Please Die" personally.
The sheer amount of creativity put into those overlays is mind-boggling. I salute them all for their hard work!
Lachlan's and the drums overlays are my favorite
Nice to see my logo made another cameo in a video haha always kind of surreal
(Thumbnail of last video from 9 months ago)
I've designed my own overlays and layouts for my channel, but I'd love to have more awesome animations close to what Doc has for his. Honestly the examples shown are all very creative. I value my own work though, as I have put a lot of time into it.
Visuals by Impulse charges minimum 5 thousand bucks, so you can pay them 15 thousand bucks and it will be decent ;)

Absolutely loved this one!! More like this or similar:)!
The streamers that do beat saber with full in game integration looks pretty good :)
its really awesome to see lachy's stream overlay in the intro
Cardboard Cowboy's overlays are a riot.
Great video as always. I was surprised that TheSushiDragon didn't make it to the list.
