Let’s quickly create a new scene so we can check out another useful aspect of text files.ĭragging and dropping text sources works just like visual sources! Quick and easy! You can also quickly edit a text file and have it update in OBS instantly. The utility of using a text file in OBS doesn’t stop there. You can still have all your customization options available to you (font size, family, and color), just as if it were a Text source, but you no longer have the hassle of opening up each source to make updates.This is as easy as creating a text file and dragging it into OBS Studio.Meaning you can erase and update within a text editor and have the changes appear directly in OBS seamlessly. A text file can work as your real-time white board for OBS Studio.Normally, you can add a Text Source just like any other source in OBS, but a quicker alternative to creating Text sources is to instead use a text (.txt) file. We’ll still need to create text sources to pair with these icons, displaying our social handles and schedule times. Dragging in our schedule asset will complete our time in the “Graphic Assets” folder.īut icons only get us half way there. Add them to your Scene if you’re feeling adventurous. In addition to the schedule asset, you’ll notice several brackets that can be used to frame up your social icons. At the top of that folder, you’ll see an “Assets” folder. This can be found back in the folder of whatever color combination you selected in the “Scenes” folder. Let’s get the schedule asset in there as well. The new cult you’re starting? We don’t have an icon for that yet but we’re always taking suggestions at these icons as you see fit–but we recommend using the open space on the far-right of the “Starting Soon” Scene. Facebook? Find the icon and drag that sucker in. If you’re wanting to advertise your Discord, find the Discord icon and drag it on in. Inside here, you’ll find an icon for anything you could ever need. Let’s open up the “Icons” folder found directly in the root of the “Graphic Assets” folder. Now, if you’ve been paying attention, OBS Studio’s new drag and drop feature is still in play. Let’s start simple: Bringing the social icons and schedule graphic into the scene. For example, adding your social handles and a schedule is a great move for building out a “Starting Soon” Scene. We’ve already done a large haul of the work simply by pulling in the background, but we can also add some other graphic assets that will complete the overlay. After dragging and dropping, don’t forget to loop animated resources! Remember, with MP4 sources, it’s best to set them to loop by double clicking on the source and checking the box for “Loop.” Always save those options!Įasily drag and drop resources from your folders, into OBS. You’ll notice in each of these folders are actual MP4 files that will create a dynamic background–one that actually moves like a video.ĭrag in the “Stream_Starting” MP4 file directly into the “Sources” window of OBS Studio where it will automatically populate your Broadcast Window. Choose whichever color combination catches your eye. We’re going to start by dragging in a background from the “Scenes” folder. There’s a way to re-order these assets, but save yourself some time by building from the bottom-up. The reason for this is that everything you drag into a scene will stack on top of another. When dragging and dropping, it’s always best to start with your foundations: the assets that will make up the background of your Scene. Inside your “Graphics Assets” folder of the Glitch 2 overlay download, you’ll find everything you need to drag and drop into your Scene to create a complete overlay. OBS Studio’s new drag and drop feature makes moving overlays into your Scene a very quick process. There wasn’t a single link that can be used to automatically import overlays into OBS Studio until we created our Quick Install process (standard with our Stream Packages), but that’s not to say things won’t change down the line. But that doesn’t mean your overlays can’t be installed quickly. This overlay comes with “Quick Install” links for StreamElements and Streamlabs users, but you won’t find a quick install link for streamers who are just using base OBS Studio, unless you’re using Nerd Or Die stream packages. We’re going to use our Glitch 2 overlay pack as our example.
