Title: Getting familiar with OBS

Author: Nikita Misal

Visual Cue Narration
Slide: Title Welcome to the spoken tutorial on Getting familiar with OBS interface.
Slide: Learning Objectives In this tutorial, we will learn about the OBS work area.

We will also learn to

  • Use Edit menu
  • Take Screenshots
  • Use Filters in OBS
  • Use Transform options and
  • Cropping .
Slide: OS and Versions OBS Studio can run on any of the following operating systems:
  • Microsoft Windows 8 or higher versions
  • GNU/Linux OS 18.04 or higher versions
  • Mac OS X 10.13 or higher versions.
Slide: Prerequisite To practice this tutorial, you should have basic knowledge of computers.

You should also know how to use a web browser.

Slide: System Requirements This tutorial is recorded using
  • Windows 10
  • OBS Studio verion 27.0.1 and
  • Firefox web browser.

You can use any web browser of your choice.

The steps demonstrated are exactly the same on Linux and Mac OSX.

Click on Search>> Type OBS>> Double-click on OBS Studio icon. Let us open OBS Studio.

For that, click on the Search icon at the bottom left of the screen.

Type OBS in the search bar and press Enter.

Double-click on the OBS icon to launch it.

Point to the Scenes and the associated Sources. We see that the interface reflects all the activities done in the previous tutorial.

We see scenes with the names Opening Scene 001 and Scene 002.

We also see sources listed as Screen capture 001, Screen Capture 002.

And Arvind’s external mic.

Only narration First of all, let us learn how to Lock Screen Preview using the Edit menu.
Click on Edit menu >> Click on Lock Preview option >> Point towards ✓ symbol. To do so, click on the Edit menu on the menu bar.

Then from the sub-menu, click on the Lock Preview option.

Click on Edit menu >> Point to the Lock Preview option >> Point towards ✓ symbol. Click on Edit menu, then move cursor towards Lock Preview to view the tick mark.

A tick mark symbol appears in front of the Lock Preview option.

Point towards ✓ symbol.

Text on screen:“Lock Preview prevents the editing of any scene by accident.”

The tick mark indicates that we cannot edit the source position or size in the Preview window.

This setting prevents the editing of any scene by accident.

Click on Edit menu >> Click on the Lock Preview. Click on Lock Preview option again to enable editing in the Preview window.
Only narration. Next, let us learn about Preview Scaling.
Right-click on the Preview area.

Preview Scaling>>Output(1024*614).

To scale the Preview window to a fixed size of output, right-click on the Preview area.

From the context menu select Preview Scaling.

From the sub-menu, select Output (1280x720) option.

On my system, 1280x720 is the current output resolution.

Choose the option that appears in your system.

Point towards the enlarged Preview.

Hold Spacebar and drag the window first to the left and then to the right.

Notice that the Preview size has enlarged.

Hold Spacebar key and with the mouse drag and navigate the Preview window.

Only narration Next, let us learn how to take a screenshot in OBS.
Point to the Scene menu.

Right-click on Opening-scene-001 >> select Screenshot (Scene).

To do so, go to the Scene menu at the bottom left of the screen.

Right-click on Opening-scene-001, and from the context menu select Screenshot (Scene).

Click File >> Show Recordings.

And point towards the PNG files.

All screenshots are saved in PNG format under the same directory as the recordings.
Only narration Likewise, try taking some more screenshots of other Sources on your own.
Only narration Next, let us learn about filters in OBS.
Right-click on Opening-scene-001 >> select

Context menu select Filters.

To apply a filter, under the Sources pane right-click on Opening-scene-001.

From the context menu select Filters.

Point towards Filters button on the Source toolbar Alternatively, you can click on the Filters button on the Source toolbar too.
Point towards Opening-scene-001 dialog box. Filters for Opening-scene-001 dialog box opens in the first case.

Whereas, Filters for Screen Capture 001 opens up in the second case.

This is because, in the second case we have selected the source.

Point towards Effect Filters. On the left side we see Effect filters.

Click on the + button.

All the filters that we add will be visible here.

Let us see an example.

On the bottom left click on the + button.

Point towards all the filters >> Select the Luma key. A context menu with a list of filter options opens up.

Here, we will select the Luma key.
