This was so simple, clean, and concise to follow even two years after the initial release date. The only video I've found so far that could help me with a timer. I love this! Thank you so much for this EXCELLENT tutorial, subbing immediately!!!
Scott you helped me a lot with this video, I am from Mexico and due to the pandemic I am learning many things that are essential for the church, thank you very much for your effort.
No words to thanks.,.🤗🤗🤗 From today This will be much more easier to manage my meditation programmes .,.Thousands of people will get much benefits from Your Dedication.Peace😊😊😊
I downloaded the advanced-timer.lua script but it can't seem to link to a text source. When I use countdown.lua it works but the advanced timer doesn't. Any help is appreciated!
You are a great teacher. Love it. I can’t wait to start. I am an author of an educational card game and I will be using this to teach many card games with the “I’ve Got an Appointment” card decks. Love it.
After struggling with timer plugins etc. I found this tutorial. Works like a charm. I hope the OBS team will give us more options though, like formatting etc.
Scott, thank you so very much for everything in this video! I had been using a third-party app for my stream starting countdown timer and it was very undwieldy. I had NO IDEA that OBS Studio had a built-in Lua script for a countdown! I would never in a thousand years have thought to look at that menu and explore that option. Also, I had configured sounds to play with each scene transition, but I never knew how to make it so that I could hear them when they happen. I always had to watch the replay of the stream to hear them. So you killed two birds with one giant stone for me with this video. Thanks again!
Thanks so much Scott, I only just got OBS. A couple of days ago and I'm wanting to set something up for streaming in a small way. Was able to set this up as I was watching you, so good, nice pace delivery, thank you!
You honor me Diego. Expect future tutorials that are even more engaging. I will be combining story with my lessons. Hopefully they will suck you in mentally to the point that you don't even realize that you're watching a tutorial. This technique in my opinion is what separates good educators from EPIC educations. We'll see what happens.
Thanks brother. I do my best. I've created a tiny corner in the UA-cam space. I slowly grow... The snow ball effects has not started yet. I've been posting for over two years. I will not stop.
Thank you Scott👍👍👍 What screen capture do you use to record this OBS tutorial? And is automatically zoom in to the area you want to emphasize, or you manually did it later in video editor? Subs!
Camtasia. It's a very fast way to edit video because it handles transitions visually which is how my brain thinks. Search my channel for "Camtasia" I made a video about it.
I'm having a problem with my advanced audio properties. After making a "countdown timer". I'm not able to see audio input go into OBS after countdown and video is over. I've checked the settings and I see my audio interface device Motu Ultralite mk3 but I only see a Balance L-R symbol for my "Music - Into song (countdown timer) Mic/Aux and others are not showing L-R sign. I hear everything from my headphone input sound from my Motu interface but it's not showing sound going through OBS. Can you help me please?
Mr. Scott god bless you for this video. It is very informative. I am just getting into this streaming thing and I am grateful for this video and you. You are really appreciated.
Thank you! Super helpful! I am just starting to stream my live-stream fitness classes since gyms are closed and I LOVE using OBS and creating creative user experiences for my classes!
Thanks, man! I always figured there was a simple way to set up a timer in OBS directly but every vid I watched told me to use third-party software. Cheers!
Thanks for this AWESOME video...I am a beginner to all of this, as well I am a Pastor/Media Tech for the church live stream. I am learning a lot quick, fast, and with simplicity from Instructors like yourself!!!
Thank you so much I’m new to the OBS system. I did everything you said now my camera won’t come on once the count down is finish. What am I missing please help. The scene is black.
Hi Scott. Are you doing all the window movements and zooms in OBS or in a video editor? I’ve been trying to find a way to zoom in OBS but so far no luck. Thanks.
What's up Neal, no I use a program called Camtasia. It's a video editor that records a camera source and your computer screen at the same time. Then you go back in and apply all the screen motion. Currently OBS can not easily do what Camtasia does.
Great video man, this was amazing and very helpful (I subbed as a thank you!). As others mentioned, getting to the point might've been better, but to be honest I didn't know a lot of the other things you mentioned, so it was nice to get the "prerequisites" if you will. I think adding Time Stamps in your description might allow for the best of both worlds.
Hi Scott Did you prepare this video through OBS only. I am curious about the movement of your self-video window from one place to another during the video. Can you please help.

For me it was ALT key, nevertheless, thank you for this tutorial, you've got a new sub
@@maniek79 Yeah me too it's the ALT key in my laptop
ALT key on Windows 10 desktop with a US model keyboard. CTRL has no apparent function when resizing an OBS object.
@@timezonewall Thank you. Confirmed.
@@timezonewall I am using a Windows 8 and ALT key is still the function key.
7:30 for those that just want the timer tbh
Good call Dlonem. Thanks
@@ScottFichter Yeah of course! Great vid
@@OfficialDlonemStay Strong and Keep Fighting Brother.
yep, got irritated at how he didnt get to the point

Great Sir, Thanks you much again for Encouraging me😊😊😊
Thanks for all explanations.. About crop the "hour" component of timer, you can customize the script, to crop, and save as new script file.
I downloaded the advanced-timer.lua script but it can't seem to link to a text source. When I use countdown.lua it works but the advanced timer doesn't. Any help is appreciated!
I'm sorry man I can't recreate your problem at my office.
Thanks for the video - unfortunately I am not able to select a text source in the script. Has anyone the same problem?

Thanks for subbing!
Thank you Scott👍👍👍 What screen capture do you use to record this OBS tutorial? And is automatically zoom in to the area you want to emphasize, or you manually did it later in video editor? Subs!
Camtasia. It's a very fast way to edit video because it handles transitions visually which is how my brain thinks. Search my channel for "Camtasia" I made a video about it.
I have no menu bar in OBS. So I can not click on Tools to add any scripts. :/
Are you on a PC or a Mac? Let me know. How old is your computer?
I like this guy's friendliness.
You just earned my subscription! This is dope and I don’t have to waste my money on third party timer!
Stay strong Orion, we will all be tested in the coming months. Thanks for the sub.
Great video my friend 👍

When you’ve made this screen, can you export a static version of it as a thumbnail? (Without the timer)
What do you want to do with the export?
@@ScottFichter Just to make a thumbnail for youtube
