I spent an hour or 2 this morning...and finally got the script working... One bizarre "feature" is that the script doesn't work if the info field is blank... that caused me a load of problems

The Padlock on the Memory Timer options is to lock the active time. This means the time to remain active is unlimited so it stays on till you toggle it off. Thanks a lot Scott, You are an inspiration

Thanks Scott - love the way that not only are you building a 'community' feel amongst those of us trying to use OBS, but also you're willing to make fun of your own mistakes.

Yet another great video Scott, thanks for the shout out 😁

Thank you, Scott. Another great, informative video from you. It's nice to see that we can actually have 40 lower 3rds, instead of just 4. On a side note, you normally must fill both lines for the lower 3rd to work. A trick I found to have just a single line lower 3rd is to just put an empty space in one of the lines. ;)

Thanks Scott !! I am just getting into OBS and had a few more things to display than the 4 slots. Then I find your video and my simple dream is fulfilled. Great Job!!!

This has been the most helpful and revealing video. _Thank you_ for explaining this.

I use the memory slots for players names in Rugby Teams. I can switch between them as and when a player scores a try. Very nice. I played around with it for a bit and finaly got there in the end.

That toggle to turn it off is great. Sometimes you just want to show it one time for a surten amount of time and after that, you want it to stay away. That lock in that one I didn't try. The lock in the top one, keeps your lower 3rd visible all the time. It keeps it constantly there. That you could ad many and let them cycle is new for me. Thanks for the info. Only thing I now want to know is if it is possible to edit them, so you can make your own design and get more options than 3 versions.

I love the toggle to turn the switch off after a memoryslot is displayed! We have a podcast with guests, and I want to toggle the memoryslots when I want to (for example at the introduction of hosts and guests), and not based on a timer. And when I first started using this plugin, the loaded memoryslot suddenly appeared again when the timer ran out. That was kinda annoying when the wrong person was on cam. I solved this by using a multiswitch with hotkeys and delays on a streamdeck with the previous version. But now I only have to set the hotkey for the memoryslot. Love this feature! :)

THANK YOU! Glad I watched to the end-“Oneshot” was something I’ve been pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to do. My barber and I thank you. EDIT: As to why I would need that, I am using it during a church livestream to put up the song title and CCLI number. Only needs to come up once at the beginning of the song. Before I had to set a REALLY long inactive time to make up sure it didn’t come back up. This should work much better.

Top stuff as always Scott. My request would be for a episode that could you do a tutorial on how you can add the comments section from Facebook when you do a live broadcast on there using Obs. I tried Windows capture but unless I'm doin something wrong it's very hit & miss for me.

Great job right here Scott. The padlock makes your display text stays permanently without rotation. I discover that after watching your previous tutorial on setting the lower thirds. God bless you always

Thanks for the LT plug in videos. Trying to learn how to use this now. The one question I have is, do you have to use a logo? I'm using this with my church & want to flash the Pastor's message on the screen.

Hey Scott! Thanks again for the second video on lower thirds. So what I find is that when you switch to a different scene in OBS and the lower thirds isnt turned off and you go back to the scene where you do have your lower thirds scene, it will activate it back up again and display it in the scene. So I always switch the lower thirds off once that lower third is used. That’s why I think they put that toggle button on there.

12:00 The "Oneshot" toggle is ideal for if you have multiple people that you want to show their name during a show/service, but you want to trigger them separately without it playing through all of the names at once. This would work really well with macros while using an Elgato Stream Deck.

I am new to the channel and found it by chance, thank you Scott for listening to us and slow down your presentation. I have learn so much about using obs. I have shared with my UK friends.

Thank Scott - for the way you explain this tool for OBS, it helped me a lot to understand about it!

Thank you, helped me to find out how to add new slots. It's also not obvious. I was thinking it's: you choose slot and edit it's text. But it really works reverse: you add text then choose (click) slot.

Thank the heavens for this tutorial because I clicked on all the memory slot and I didn't know how to delete them LOL. All my L-3rds were "Awesomesauce bro really" LMFAO

ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION SCOTT P - WHY THE MERORY SLOT IS NOT DELETING AS YOU EXPECT WHEN YOU CLICK AND IT FLASHES Nice Video Scott. Mu understanding is that the reason why the memory slot does not delete when you click and hold on it for a few seconds and it flashes is because that is how you save to the memory slot and not delete. Once you have adjusted all your settings as you desire and you click on any memory slot and hold it for a few seconds, It will flash whilst holding on to the click, after you release it, you then need to click on the same slot again before it register the save in that slot. In summary, clicking on a memory slot and holding down till it flashes is for saving into that memory slot - not for deleting the content. I hope this helps Cheers

I actually have a band coming this saturday that wanted me to show the lyrics as they sing them. This might be perfect for that!! So awesome of you to revisit it and get more technical! Making sure we all GETSUM (and.. you know... actually get it)!

Hi Scott, just a quick note on the padlock for the individual transition times. I've found that the padlock overrides the transition to the next memory slot and keeps the current LT that's active up on screen until the padlock is turned off.

Excellent timing - Have implemented this to my OBS 1 hour ago. Top ;-)

Ok do I feel a little stupid, thanks for the problem solving! I had no idea regarding the “inactive scenarios” and thought I solved my problems, they just started after I watched your update on the lower thirds! I now have a greater understanding about the lower thirds! Thanks again!

This did help me. Thank you!

MAN, YOUR TUTORIALS ARE SIMPLY AWESOME!

The lock icon keeps that Lower Third (1/2/3/4) up until you hit a key to turn it off. It overrides *everything*. That Lower Third doesn't go away until you click it away. It doesn't really look as good, but if you want, you can click on any of the saved slots while that Lower Third # is displayed and it will immediately change to that new slot. It won't cycle them. I guess that's useful to someone (but doesn't look as "snazzy" as just letting the animation run)

Nice it really helped us understand how those boxes worked

Watched the first vid where you didn't have the memory slots figured out. THANK YOU!!!

Hey Scott, I love your videos man. Can you make an updated lower thirds video cause I think they changed the plug in a little bit. It’s not quite working for me I can’t get the lower to show, it won’t change from red.🙏🏾

thank you Scott!! i found out that you can add a decimal to position the widget. it definitely came in handy for my stream! you can also do minus with the decimal as well.

The trigger or lightning bolt is auto turn off. Some how you can trigger each of the lower thirds when one goes off the other will come on and so on. I think to make this work each lower third must be active with their own memory slots.

I apologize if this has already been shared but I'm using OBS RC2 27.0.0 on my M1 Mac mini and when using the custom time settings and set the active state to "Lock" , this will lock all memory slots in the active state. If you have the "Lock" enabled and the switch was off, once you enable the switch the first animation will play through and then lock into the active state and any other memory slot will be locked in the active state as well if you click on them. I hope that helps if no one else has mentioned it yet. North

very clear and useful tutorial, Scott.

Kuato is from the original Total Recall with Arnold Schwarzenegger. “Get yo a$$ to Mars.” “I got 7 kids to feed.” “Two weeks, twoooooowwwwweeekkkksssss,” Love that movie!!!

You can use any dimension and png that you like. That's how I use it and it works perfectly. Also you can remove memory slots by holding it for a few seconds. It begins to blink and if you let go of the mouse click it will be removed.

Thank you for this tutorial, I stopped using this lower thirds due to this confusion when it caused me problem in the time I was streaming. The whole program ran without lower third and I didn't have a backup. Got to have a second look on this animated lower-third.

I have learned so much from you! Really glad you have this channel!

Wow, tNice tutorials opened my eyes to the beauty of soft soft. Your tutorial is as clear as the layout of the program.

This is great! Now we can simply use the lower thirds option to animate texts instead of making animated texts in After effects. My only question is, How to post a lengthy text/phrase? Because I tried it earlier, and it only shows the first line. I tried posting a scripture and instead of creating more lines downward, It just became one long line stretching out of the frame.

Very helpful. I can't recall where Kuato is from.

Thank you very much for this video? There is one open question. How to delete the slots within the lower thirds? Maybe you can help?

Just one of a series of great teaching videos - thank you. On this tool, what I'd like to do is link the lower third transition to a change in scene, e.g. Joe is on a camera feed in Scene 1 and Donald is in a camera feed in Scene 2 so I'd like the first lower third to display on Scene Joe becoming active and the second to display when Scene Donald becomes active etc. I wondered if you or anyone in the comments had found a way to do this with this Lower Thirds tool?

Hi scott iD like to confirm and check it out your self when you click the white X to delete those memory slot once it shows there gone the. Click the box they are still there .

Scott, your series on OBS is great. I'm a newbee and you've made it understandable. Thanks. I have an issue with LT. I can't make any of the LTs active (blue frame.) They remain red-framed when switched on. I've gone through this video and nothing helps. I have never been able to activate any LT even with the Main switched on. What settings should I look at to fix this?

i appreciate what your doin Scott your such a great person. My question Scott is how do you do that zoom in zoom out in your presentation ,how do you capture that OBS while ypur talking and we seen that together with your face as if its beside you.Thanks for the answer..keep doin what your doin Scott,your reaching,helping tons of people.

There's actually a way to change the way it animates in and out...pretty cool

I'm not too happy with the memory slots because I cannot customise the LTs. I don't want the same settings to be applied to each memory slots. If that can be fixed by the developer and then in my opinion we have one of the fantastic LTs out, notwithstanding, it is still the best so far. Do reach out to the developer to see what can be done, Scott.

Great Video Scott!!! What if I am doing a side X side screen and would want each screen to have their own lower 3rd???

Hey, thanks Scott for providing high-quality content. I use your content for live-streaming my church service. I am looking for a way to display Bible verses without preparing them beforehand. At times speaker references some verse for which there's no slide created with a green background. Is there a plugin that can do this?

The toggle to turn off the LT is like the "repeat all" vs "repeat 1" setting on a media player. If you turn on the toggle it will only play through the list of memory slots once. If it is off it will continue to cycle through the memory slots... maybe!

Cool stuff. I should really get into this !

You make me look like a pro ! Thumbs up =D

Having switched on the main settings, the lower thirds 1, 2, 3, and 4 are not active. What is wrong pls?

Hi Scott, Once you activate the padlock, the current LT stayed on the screen (it overrides the time the LT is active which BTW becomes grayed out, check it). Regards

The reason why you have the automatic off when pass the 2 second is because when you change the scene and you return back to the scene and you have multiple deck open for example one with your name other with KZfaq info and another with subscribe to Facebook what happened is all decks will be open at the same time and you don’t want that. You want your little toggle switch one at the time.

I would love to be able to activate automatically a different lower third on each source. I am setting up intro for Interview segments / music performance etc. And I would like to avoid using hotkeys to start them manually. Let's say Lower third 1 on for interviews and lower third 2 for music performance.

The lock icon will lock the lower thirds when it comes on screen ONLY if there are no numbers in the field.

Dear Sir, i have tried every thing, still unable to fix the issue. Could you please assist me in fixing this issue regarding red box around Lower third. Thanks!

Thanks for the update Scott. Are you/is anyone aware of a way to have the 10 slots preloaded, then when presenting turn on the lower third to show the first slot, turn it off and it preload the next slot so when I turn it back on slot 2 is displayed and so on?

Good job Scott, I did the above but it doesn't display in my obs live, what could be the problem? Thanks

THANKS BUT BUT IS NOT WORKING ON OBS 29.02 ON MY SYSTEM. HOW DO I GO ABOUT IT OR SOLVE THE ISSUE

I'm struggling with this terribly. I have some comprehension difficulties in general, so when things don't go exactly as presented, my brain shuts down and I get lost real fast. Is there a way to get a personalized private tutorial by sharing my screen so you can guide me in real time?

Thank Scott. I did figure some of this out. I do have a question to ask and I figured you may know . How can or can I output OBS audio to Streamyard? I don't see anything on this and I don't even know if it's possible. Thanks.

I've had this up and running for a while. Yesterday it stopped working. The main button is on. Whenever I activate one of the thirds, it's red and does nothing. Any ideas or has anyone else had this happen? Was is due to an update maybe? Any help would be great.

I was having a problem with this plugin (I was getting the red box around the name) until I entered *something* the Info (second) line... it doesn't matter what's in that line, it just has to be there.

Thanks for making this follow up, I too was scratching my head over some of the options in the dock. Question: do you know of a setting (or a plugin) that would make it so it cycles through all the lower thirds for a slot, then wait for say, 10 minutes before it repeats? I have my social accounts in the lower third but don't want them just continuously cycling :)

That was awesome. Appreciate it.

Awesome thanks so much for the update!!

I like how fast you talk!

una cosa pequeña no podia arreglar y lo encontre aki bien ahy amigo saludos desde peru

Thanks for the video. I was wondering how some of the buttons work.

Thank you, my own lower thirds plugging is white

Love the total Recall reference!

Hi Scott, thanks for your great work… I was wondering how do you stop the memory slots blinking once they have all showed up ? Let me explain, I have program 3 of them to show Like, Subscribe and click on the Bell, but they keep showing, it's not stopping at all 😮

One thing I am interested in is the automated population of the text field from a source file, so rather than typing in the values I could automate changes to files and have them loaded into the memory slots...what do you think?

great tutorial Scott man ✌👍

Hey Scott, Got some featured videos of your's recently pop up for me and I am totally digging the work you put into these tutorials! This is the first one I wanted to try out and just testing with a KZfaq Channel Lower Third. I have the Main Settings activated, my logo is in place as logo_1.png (put the KZfaq Logo over the "Your LOGO Here", transparent background, etc.), but then I enable the Lower Third 1 via the switch, it just goes to Red Box and stays there. Any ideas? Thanks!

you're right its amazing stuff

Is there a way to get the lower thirds to open up from the center? Each lower thirds entry I have is a different length and I would like them to open up centered on screen instead of opening from the left.

thank you, u help me again

hi there! this youtube video helped me a lot! Now if I may ask. How can you reset those memory slots ?

Hello. I've been trying to get this sorted for hours and no resolution yet. The lower third box still has the red ring around it. As a matter of fact, I don't even have any lower third appearing on the screen. I'm on OBS 27.1.3 and macOS Big Sur. I need urgent help please. Thanks.

What extension and what size should the logo picture be to be added? I turned on both boxes. Ah! Png.

Great Job

Scott we need your insight on this Animated lower thirds with control panel 2020-04-12

@scott fichter How do the Lower Thirds 1 to 4 boxes works? Can it be that you could have several boxes going at the same time? Your tutorials are really helpfull👍

Hi Scott thanks for your great tutorials, I have install the lower third plug in for obs, I followed all your instruction and boom it worked, my question, when i exit obs ie shut my computer down, on turn it back on and relaunching obs,how do I get to the lower menu,or should I say settings, I a bit confused I was presuming,once I relaunch obs, the lower third menu box would appear, can you help?

To clear the text/settings and make a new memory slot just press the X all the way to the left. (Response to what is said at 6:42)

hey Scott, can you please do a video on how to use "Streamlabs OBS", thank you. I can not find out how to use the game capture with a hotkey.

Great channel Scott! I share you're frustration with this plug in & spent hours trying to get it to work as I want. Any thoughts on this issue...you've two scenes 1) Image/text/countdown: "stream starting soon" 2) Cam/Lower Thirds with the 1 shot toggle turned on (so the L/T only appears once). By the time you switch from scene 1 to scene 2 the Lower Thirds has already activated and the toggle has turned itself off because the Lower Thirds timer starts as soon as you turn the toggle on and not as you move to scene 2.

Hi Scott, Thanks for wonderful Videos. CAN YOU tell me how to activate a lower third on a particular time. I mean lets say I want to see it 1 min after I start recording.

Kuato was on total recall he was the leader of the mutant resistance

Dear Scott, can you use Any desk to help solve the on my PC because, i tried severally, it turns blue but not displayin

How to use Lower All Third 1 & Lower Third 2 & Lower Third 3 at a time?

Hey Scott, I have tried all you said but the red box is still there.. I don't know what to do anymore

Scott, where is a good place to get the images for the Subscribe and thumbs up and so on? Every place I find wants money or a kidney.

Mine is not working, it's showing that red line, please who knows how to fix it?

THAT is SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you.
