Who wants to see a tour of my OBS layout?

Yes please make a video about your OBS scenes! Especially interested in the difference resolution source section and how that plays with everything else.

Have been using the nested scenes and scene filters for a while but love the organizational tips, both the "tags" and the scene separators. Thanks!!

Combining overlay stuff into a nested scene is going to save me so much time!!! Thank you!

5:27 Yes! I would be very interested in a video tour of your entire OBS Setup. You are a source of inspiration, Nutty!!

Thanks for the tips Nutty, I've been subscribed for a couple months now and all of your videos are super helpful and professional!

Thanks for this informative video on Nested scenes and other tips. Appreciate the help dude. Merry Christmas!!

You always seem to post videos as soon as I need the information. Thank you for all of this free info. I really appreciate you

You have been a lifesaver for me when it comes to understanding OBS better. If it wasn't for a video of yours i didn't even know about nested scenes. Thank you for all you do.

I have been rocking those nested scenes, tagged, and the scene separator. Awesome video as usual!

Love the self-deprecating Editor Notes lol - your humour has always been top notch. Also, HTML source fonts was a new one for me. Keep up the great work Nutty!

The last tip is amazing man! Hopefully you can make a video showing how you make your templates with Affinity Designer 💪🏼

Have been using nested scenes a bit for a while now. Was starting to explore them further, and you just opened a world of opportunity. Or pain. Probably both. I think I blew a valve contemplating all the potential things I can do with your suggestions.

Thanks, man! Very informative.

THE RETURN OF THE KING

Hey! Got a long-ish one here, but I gotta tell ya, your tips here do help make a streamer's life so much easier. Two techniques you covered here I make extensive use of in my OBS Studio setup: 1. Nested scenes! This one, I learned from another person's stream. This helps me ENORMOUSLY. I use it for abstraction, mainly. Example: For a visual source, I add a game, then make sure it fills the canvas. No, it's not gonna fill the screen, but instead, it's going to be included in another scene which is sized to fit in a PNG frame., and THAT scene is included in the final scene. I also use it to build up overlay abstraction scenes so I can flip between KZfaq and Twitch streams. Selecting that and other scenes which allow me to select which music I open and close my streams with are also in scenes. Again, I flip visibility depending on whether it's a Twitch or KZfaq stream. And if an abstraction scene is set up so that only one layer is visible, I use Exeldro's Source Toggler Lua script to help out. ENORMOUSLY useful! For programming sources, I will have several scenes, like: - Game scene -- Game capture - Game scene -- Window capture (some tougher games, like Nation Red, require this). - KZfaq source -- I use YTCP to show some livestreams in my streams, where I have a control panel in a web panel and the program panel as a browser source. - Browser source -- In case I want to browse the web but not with a web browser, I'll set up a browser source, then set the source to "interact" with it. Should work for web games as well, e.g. Mahjong Soul. - Browser capture -- Just a window or display capture of a web browser. Duh. - Anything else I then full-size the source while a conduit scene has all the source classes bundled together, and then I just alter the visibility of the source I want people to see, again, it's full-sized, but I don't have to mess with it whenever I use a new source. I also have a bottom graphic I try to never make invisible so that if I mess up, it'll tell me on-screen, "Hey, you dolt! You don't have source class (xyz). Check it!" That way the system will practically troubleshoot itself. Finally, I use a final source to include the above abstraction scene, acting as an "endpoint" for the source pipeline. It's permanently sized to fit the area where it will be shown on-screen. And with all that insane amount of abstraction I create with conduit and endpoint scenes, as well as the sources that go through those conduits and displayed by the endpoints, how do I tell what's what? That brings me to: 2. Separators! This one, I figured out on my own. My biggest gripe is I wish I could reuse separators. You CAN with Streamlabs, but you can't with OBS Studio. However, I'm digressing a little, so allow me to get back on track. I use a couple levels' worth of labeling. I create wide-spaced, right-justified labels for classes of item blocks in the scenes, e.g. scenes that face the viewer, scenes that are conduits for abstraction, endpoints that end up on my layout that goes out on stream, and, of course, the all-important sourcing scenes. They're big and right-justified so I can find them as I twirl my mouse wheel. Then I use smaller-spaced text with "borders" so I can sub-classify scenes therein. My biggest gripe about doing it this way without a dedicated "marker/remark" scene is that a lot of programs that grab a list of the scenes via Websockets, e.g. LioranBoard's receiver and other programs that allow me to pull down a list of scenes, that's a bigger payload of stuff for these programs to pull down. Worse, it may not be in the same order as they are in OBS itself. So you may have all your labels at the very top, then all your scenes below. That's where it may pay to tag those scenes the same way you suggested tagging sources. Also, just like how you can't use HTML tagging on scene names, likewise you can't assign colors to them. Oh well. Anyway, lots of good stuff! I may do something like you may do and that's give a tour of my own setup. I'm already setting up a tutorial for migrating from SLOBS to OBS Studio (yes, I know, there are already plenty of those out there, but I'm in the VTuber community, so this may resonate with VTubers more, plus there are VTubing-related things to account for, too). Thanks for putting this up! While I already used those two techniques I mentioned above, you gave me more ideas of what I can use!

Your separators for Scenes, Filters, etc. and tagging for Sources is genius for organization.

Recently discovered nested scenes to do audio and its the greatest thing that ever happened to me. Now, thanks to your video, i am so excited to go update my OBS

For your scene setup you should do a longer format livestream event for it where you can deep dive into all the details of how you have it set up. I love your professional production quality with focus on memes which makes it unique, high quality and a great time.

The man at the top of the OBS game back at it again! Love to see these kind of videos Nutty!

I love watching your obs videos because it is always giving me new ideas for my stream

Thank you for always teaching us cool stuff Nutty!

I love your humor as much as your advice!

Yes please to you making a full explanation of your OBS set-up! I have ideas I'd love to realize, but the technical organization of the scene layers is where I trip myself up every single time!

yessss i would love to see your entire obs setup!!!

Tagging and Separators is a great idea. Thank you very much!!

I've been wondering how to nested scene, tyvm merry holidays!

For sure have gotten some great tips 4rm ya. Nested the webcam with background and webcam border was a life saver for me.

Happy Holidays man! Thank you for the hottest of tips. :)

Your template idea is so simple I feel stupid for not having thought of it before. Last stream I had I was literally complaining about not having alignment options like in graphic design software and how useful that would be in OBS. I’ll definitely be doing that in the future.

Love the Source Tagging tip, definitely something I'll have to revise my own setup for.

You repeatedly save my assss Nutty. Thanks for making these that we can always refer back to. You are the best.

Can we somehow get this guy to 100.000 for Christmas? Anyone in any big Facebook groups or something?

I love the sotto voce mumbling deep truths sprinkled everywhere! Proof yet again Nerds ARE profound, deep inside...

Love your videos, not only are they informative but I also love the vibe, the humour. Keep it up !! Oh and btw, I use nested scenes already but the tip about planning the layout in Affinity Designer is something I'll start doing. VERY NIICE (Borat impression)

I remember when they added nested scenes. Good times. I'd love to see a full walkthrough of your OBS setup

As a former copy and paste abuser, I learned about Nested scenes from one of your old videos and I can't believe I used OBS without nested scenes before. Absolute life changer!

I loved these tips! Anything to help me better organize I'm there for! Thanks!

"Nobody is reading this right now, but I’m filling this out with text so it looks like I’m putting in effort." I see you Nutty

Awesome tips & tricks as always Nutty! 😄👍👍 Cheers! 🥃🥃

Almost at 100k Subs. Keep up the great work!

Literally googled how prime subs work so I could give you one. Keep making the great videos

Yesss Thanks for the Awesome Tips with nested scenes. You explained this perfectly and we will def try it out on our upcoming 2022 shows. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you Fam Big Up 🎁🌲🎅🎉🥂❤️

I finally understand how to use Nested Scenes. Thanks to this video. 👏 Now if you're inclined to, a walkthrough of Making a Template with Affinity Designer would be so cool! Merry Christmas!

Love the content. Nutty do you recommend nesting every single scene. Or just the main ones?

Awesome. Love your vids my dude.

I like the structural setup of the scenes and all the stuff.

Another great video! 👏

Hey nutty really love your videos!

I just reinstalled windows cus I did some component upgrades and wanted to start fresh, so I am going thru all of my OBS and setting it up again, this video is such a savior! YOU DA MAN NUTTY!

Nice! I didn't know about using HTML tags for sources. That is going to help. Yes, it would be cool for Scenes too, that would rock.

I started yesterday starting to nest sources, have some good ideas

Love the “Seperators”. I actually started doing this a while back and I was always wondering if it could cause any trouble, it didn’t appear to. Seeing your doing it… must not!

Oh this is good stuff. Thanks man! PS: as a coder I'm quite disappointed in myself for not doing this already... 😅

The separators are the only thing that keep my scenes in order and from me losing my mind. I've used nested scenes since you taught me how to last year...appreciate that

Holy crap, thanks for sharing the alt key function.

I'm new to OBS and getting things set up bc i'm one of those Losers that used SLOBS and any question I have your videos always seem to pop up for me and they have been so helpful. Thank you for this video now i can plan my OBS better!

Lets get you out of the rookie numbers and help you get that plaque. Your videos have been a major help in getting me up and running in OBS. Im now going back to some of your vids as I keep trying to improve upon what I have.

Great content thanks

Can’t wait for the hour long OBS tutorial

You earned you YT Plaque today, dude!

love all the info you give, how did you learn all of this??? good stuff ty

Yo I saw you had some poll colour sources in obs at 7:40 Is this a custom poll? OR does it display the twitch poll on your stream? Or is it something else? In any case, would love a tutorial on it! Also, thanks for all the videos as well, you're a bloody legend!

Thanks man!

the amount of organization is unreal

love ur videos, nutty

Ima try that template layout thing!

Hello. You are helpful and entertaining. Thank you.

Omgosh it's us in your Activity Feed at 6:16 :)

great video! I would really love a tutorial on the unregistered hypercam 2 scene please!

this is great

Dang the tagging one is my favorite I just started using it. Great for when I'm programming a Stream Deck button that changes like 20 different sources lol

i am going through all of your videos trying to find help on 1. how to make your camera change size and swap places with your game so you can have a just chatting/gameplay scene pretty much bundled into one 1! 2. how you blur your source such as gameplay behing your camera while just chatting

good job broo

Hello, your vids helped me add snap camera to OBS but I am having difficulty flipping the camera horizontally as it won’t let me configure the video. Could you help at all?

How about making just one seriously badass, super complicated, mega pro-looking scene and explaining how you did it. That would be cool. ... Oh thank you for all the hard work you do,

Great tips I am new to OBS but I have a question you put your cameras in scenes. Do you put the round edges on the camera in the scenes or in the scene that you use the scene as a source???

thank you bro

One of the most powerful things I found with nested scenes that wasn't really touched upon was the ability to turn off a certain source in all scenes it appears in. Do you switch between game streams and watching videos on youtube streams and you have several different sized scenes? Just put the browser that in its own scene and only use this scene nested in other scenes where you want the browser visible. One click and the browser is gone everywhere and you won't have an incident where your twitch dashboard lays on top of a scene where you forgot to remove it, or in a new scene you forgot to add to individually toggle in the macro

My OBS Guru❤️

Nice video Nutty. I'm just here to help the algorithm. Go get that plaque, yo.

I want to see a OBS layout tour!

Thx for your videos. I love it. Where can i get the templates? Greets from Germany

Do you have a video explaining your camera stack sources? most of it I get without going into details of the FX layers. but why does layer 1 have nothing and just points to layer 2? Whats the logic behind that?

6:30 Is there a reason why you use a browser dock for "StreamElements Activity" instead of the default "Activity" dock? If I'd had to guess: because of the (sound)alerts?

Nutty on stream a few days ago "You guys LOVE lists, wait for the next vid!"

"I want my layouts to be pixel perfect" *proceeds to make DS Screen 100 pixels tall*

I definitely want to see your OBS layout!

Gracias está super genial el de png jajajaj 🤣

I need this dudes hair care regimen asap

Nested scenes are really a game changer ... i just lazy onm the naming and put a _ before the sub-scene names ;) but the idea is pretty much the same .. also controlling them via streamdeck is then possible too, like turning off the camera you just add the command to the subscene and you go dark regardless what scene is active, that's impossible to do without nested scenes)

Everything is lovely! I have one question only ... what is your cpu at in OBS? lol I am scared to put in so many scenes so sometimes I make different profiles... how much is too many scenes? lol

Merry Christmas

What resolution/ratio do you record at? It looks like you always have a nice letterboxing effect O.o

Hey Nutty, how did you hide the icons for your sources in the sources window?

Can't wait for the tutorial of how to make a filter with effects.

dude youre a genius lol a wizard on obs

would love to see a follow up video about making the templates

Thanks

I like the idea of making templates, and I can kind of see the use of nested scenes, but your setup is MAD complicated, and I found myself thinking "is it really ever necessary to go 10 layers deep like that?" Especially cause you have a nested scene that's literally just one scene. It seems like that should be pointless but clearly it's not otherwise you wouldn't have done it lol. Point is I think that a more detailed walkthrough of your layout and why it being so complicated is beneficial in comparison so separating out some of those nests would be good
