link in the description so you can download it and check it out for yourself and of course links to more detailed videos so you can learn more about each of these plugins you can easily zoom your camera with the move transition it's free and easy to use the move transition is awesome because of course you can create great transitions but you can also move your camera around the scene in all kinds of different ways using nothing but hotkeys here i'm showing you how i can shrink my camera up move it around the screen and even zoom in so how do you do this well you've got to install the move transition obviously and there's another video for that that you can check out in the description but it's a pretty simple process once you have it installed i'm going to right click on the scene where i want the camera to move and i'm going to select filters then i'm going to click the plus and select move sources and i'm going to name where i want to move it so i remember in this case we're going to call it center i'm going to click ok now you can adjust these just by clicking the little eyeballs over here to activate them and what i'm going to do is select one of the ones we already have that's small and move our camera into the center and i'm going to make sure that's selected i'm going to go here to the transform and i'm going to click get transform then i'm going to scroll down here and for our start trigger and i'm going to select enable when the eye icon in the front of the filter is enabled and that's all i need to do you can see when i go over here if i just click on these eyes it moves it around to all the different locations and when i get to the center one it'll move it into the center so i can just click close on this and now all we have to do is set up a hotkey so i'm going to go into settings hotkeys and then i'm going to scroll down to my scene and i'm just going to find the one labeled center and i'm going to go ahead and put my hotkey in there and then i can apply and click ok and now we can use those hotkeys to move our camera around into the center and even zoom it in pretty awesome stuff i love to use animated camera masks in my live streams but they can be used on any source let me show you how they work so to start recording this i put the zoom camera we created previously in a nested scene and the main camera in another scene and now i'm going to create a third scene and we're going to call this a nested scene as well we're going to call it the ns-spike cam and click ok then i'm going to add one more here and this is going to be dash spike mask we're going to put the mask in its own scene once we're done with that all i have to do is click ok now i'm going to click the plus under the mask source and go to media sources then i'm going to just name this mask 1 and click ok now i just need to browse to find the mask i already created select it then i'm going to click loop so it keeps moving over and over again and click ok so that's what our mask looks like i'm going to go into our spike cam i'm going to click the plus and i'm going to select mirror source and we're going to talk a lot more about mirror sources later but you could just select the camera here that you already created if you choose so i'm going to name my mirror source so i know what it is we're going to call it spike cam and i'm going to click ok i'm going to drop this down and select our cam source and generally for these you may not want to enable the audio you might want to just add your own audio it is up to you i'm going to click ok and now all i have to do is right click on the source go to filters and click the plus under effect filters and i'm going to grab my dynamic mask and we can name this i'm going to call it spikes and click ok then we select our spike mask right here with this drop down so we're going to select mask one source and we're going to scroll all the way down to the bottom and we're going to select the green input under the alpha channel and we're just going to give it a minus one and it's simple you can just select here and type -1 on your keyboard or you can use the slider whatever works for you and when we click close you can see our spike mask is up and running it's awesome and the spike mask is using a plug-in called stream fx and you can find out how to create the spike mask and install the plugin in a video that's down below in the description you can just click on that linky great music can take a good stream to the next level every live stream or video needs some sort of good music

tunes for yourself there is a link in the description and like i said it's totally 100 free now back to the obs effects the third one is so simple but it can make a huge visual difference in your live streams the first thing we're going to do with this one is create a new nested scene i'm going to call this one ng animated cam border and click ok then i'm going to click the plus and i'm going to add a camera i'm going to use the source mirror to add the camera and i'm going to name our new source mirror border cam then i'm going to select our cam source in the drop down now i'm going to go ahead and shrink it up just a little bit and i'm going to click the plus and i'm going to add a media source we're going to call this media source border i'm just going to go and select a video can be any video that has any sort of motion or movement and we're going to loop that video and click ok and that is the full video that you see right there we're going to just drag it below and we're going to kind of resize this and the goal here is just to get a light edge border around the edge of our camera and if you want to make sure that the borders look more even you can use the alt key to kind of adjust them up a little bit by cropping one edge or the other with the alt key so you just hold down the alt and you drag the little points and once you get this situated the way that you want it with your animated border around the edges what i'm going to do is i'm going to create a main scene so i'm just going to click the plus under scenes i'm going to name this scene main click ok i can click the plus go to scenes and i can add in our animated cam order and click okay there you go you can see what it looks like and i'll just shrink it down here and once i unselect it so that you're not seeing the red edges you can see what the animated border looks like it looks pretty awesome but you know what we've done a couple of other things here let's add those in as well so i'm just going to click plus i'm going to add a scene and we will add our spike mask click ok we'll shrink that up as you can see one of these effects doesn't affect the other effects and we'll talk about why that is a little bit later but using a nested scene allows us to add all of these different effects in there and you can see even the one with the move transition is added separately and does not affect the other two effects which means we can use all of these in completely separate scenes to have different effects in each scene you can remove your background without a green screen and there are actually a few different ways to do it in obs the method that i'm going to show you is one that works really well but it also requires an nvidia graphics card there are two other methods that work without an nvidia graphics card should work on any machine they'll be linked in the description below so the first thing i'm gonna do is create a new scene and this is gonna be a nested scene as well we're just gonna call this ns background click ok then i'm going to click the plus and i'm going to go to my source mirror once again and we're going to call this source mirror background cam click ok i'm going to drop this down and select my cam source again and click ok then i'm going to right click on the background cam and i'm going to go to filters now i'm going to click the plus and i'm going to select virtual green screen and click ok and there's really not much to change here i'm going to leave it in quality mode you can put it in performance if you like but quality seems to work better and then i'm going to select the nvidia option right here and click continue and there you go now my hair has lots of frills and stuff hanging out so we're going to get a little bit of the blue background through that but if you have short hair or hair that's not quite as flippy yours will look even better than what this looks now i'm going to click the plus and i'm going to add a media source i'm just going to call this background and click ok i'm going to browse to a background that i want to use click open i'll go ahead and loop it and click ok we'll move it below our camera there we go and i'm just going to shrink up my camera a little bit as i would use it in a regular scene and there we go so now we can flip over to our main scene and we'll go and click the plus and we'll add scenes and i'm just going to go ahead and add our background removal scene and we'll shrink it up put it up here and as you can see once again this does not affect any of the other cameras that we've already set up i absolutely love the face tracking effect it makes it look like someone is operating the camera even though they're not it's all in the software the face track feature is another epic one it's so easy to use but it does require an nvidia graphics card it also uses the stream fx so i'm gonna click the plus down in the bottom left to add a new scene we're gonna add a nested scene this one's gonna be called ns face track then over in sources we're going to click the plus we're once again going to select source mirror and i'm going to call this one face track cam click ok going to drop this down and select my original cam source once again and click ok now in this case i'm going to right click on the scene for this and i'm going to select filters i'm going to click the plus and go all the way to the top where it says auto framing and i'm going to select that and click ok and there are bunches of settings in here and you could play around with them to get the look that you want i'm just going to select the preset nvidia down here and then i'm going to change this up instead of having a 16 by 9 camera i want more of a square camera so i'm going to go ahead and select a square aspect ratio here but you can use different ones like this one right here this is a 19x6 and if i just select the regular 16x9 and i can show you that it does track your face and all that kind of stuff go back in here one more time and select a square aspect ratio and click ok now we can flip over into our main scene we'll move the spike face cam a little bit and i'm going to click sources and go into scene and i'm going to select my face track and we can just shrink it up and once again you can see that it will track my face and it does not have an effect on any of the other cameras there is a link in the description if you want to know more about this feature and it is really cool and easy to use now the bonus effect is a must-have if you want to use a lot of different effects for your camera in the same stream now this bonus visual feature is one i've been using throughout this entire video and that is the source mirror if i had done a lot of these effects directly on the camera you would only be able to do it once and then every time you use that camera in a scene it's going to have that effect but if you use the source mirror you can apply different effects to the exact same camera which means that you can have all kinds of different camera effects in your live streams like i said if i applied the spike mask to the original camera every scene that i used that camera in would use the spike mask but by using streamfx source mirror i'm able to create all of these different effects with all these cameras and use them in the same scene or in different scenes to add a lot more variety to my live stream and it's a game changer if you want to learn more about other ways to remove your background without a green screen you should check
