Creating Animated Starting Soon, Ending and Be Right Back Screens in OBS

You don't have to be a graphic designer to make sharp scenes for your stream. Here are some simple steps for making an animated scene for your Twitch stream.

Great video. Exactly what I needed!

[@WestCoastWalker-zj6ob]

This didn't work for me ... layer 2 completely covers layer 1 even though I reduced the transparency.

[@maplesyrup6475]

This video is fantastic!

[@iRoxx96]

When i made my BG image it wouldnt fit the screen properly. either too big and out of frame or too small and had black edges on both sides? was there a way to adjust the resolution of the image or?

[@notto777]

I work at 1920x1080 so I make my BGs that size. Just be sure you are working at the ratio (16:9) and you can scale up or down to adjust if needed without losing part of the image.

[@iRoxx96]

@@notto777yeah I tried fitting it properly but the image doesn’t fit that way either it’s too tall and short on side and too short and too long on sides. I will try a new image

[@notto777]

What is your video output resolution set to in OBS?

[@BaconSarnie1701]

Mate, this taught me amazingly well
You need far more than 84 subs, you've done me a great service

[@milknyte]

You deserve more subs and views for this very insightful and helpful thanks a bunch. 👍

[@notto777]

Thanks!

[@MoltenKing89]

Thanks! It really helped me out!

[@jamarr27]

I needed this. you just earned yourself a new Subscriber. I'm Baffled how your subscriber numbers are as low as they are... but you are definitely gonna blow up, its only a matter of time.

[@abhay6230]

Is there way to switch between the sources ( my game recording to be right back or starting soon) easily. I use only 1 desktop . So can awitch them without selecting the source with my mouse in obs

[@notto777]

In OBS you can assign hot keys to change scenes... I use a Stream Deck myself... but hot keys works well also. There are cheap numpad-only keyboards that are programmable also. So you could set the "1" key on that programmable pad to "CTRL+ALT+C" (or whatever) and then set the same key combo as the hotkey in OBS.

[@defuse8395]

one question what is the canvas size on photoshop for the image

[@dammmychannel]

how do you transfer them to obs

[@Tar-Cirion]

Thanks man. Simple but great video.

[@MjYosh]

Wait this is so smart!! I was thinking i had to learn how to animate any everything. Thanks

[@MrsChunLee]

Your videos are so helpful and easy to follow! Thanks so much.

[@chefroxstarr9467]

Does OBS have the same "loop" option when uploading a video file? I created a Be Right Back video file but of course once it plays, it ends which doesn't work if I'm gone for more than 30 seconds. I want it to just loop and until I come back and transition out. I'm new to all of this as well. Are you former military? I am a USMC vet.

[@notto777]

OBS and Streamlabs OBS both have the LOOP option... just be sure to import the video clip as a MEDIA SOURCE and you should see the checkbox

[@ChiefSupreme6803]

Why would you take the extra step to make a PNG semi transparent instead of just adding a filter to an image layer in OBS?

[@coachnotto6564]

This actually allows you to do some of the Photoshop layers as opaque and some as partially transparent, which I did not go into in this video... so I have always done it this way for my stream. I swap out this image for every stream so I have a Photoshop file that lets me drop in a new image, adjust the transparency of that layer and then the layer graphic with the title of the game and the "LIVE" graphic are opaque.

[@MistTheKid]

Great video
Can you make a tutorial of how to make the stringer transition you have or something similar to it I really like it

[@notto777]

I followed this video to make that stinger: ua-cam.com/video/wGntVBSnA8Q/v-deo.html

[@ThatsJStorm]

🤯 fantastic explanation and video

[@nicholasdeluca9688]

this is a fire video how on earth does this guy not have more subs

[@Ionica03]

Hi! I followed the stepts that you show and in general it worked for me but the single problem is after I recorded this loop it doesn t have sound when I put the recorded video on a scene. How can I fix that?

[@notto777]

Do you mean that the clip you captured and are looping in the background has sound\music? You may have to adjust the sound setting for that item in OBS.

[@coolgamer5036]

this really helped thank you

[@coachnotto6564]

Glad it helped!
