The easiest way to go ahead
and make your kick streams look professional is by having overlays. So in today's video, I'm gonna
show you how to go ahead and set up all of your scenes and all of your
sources inside of O Bs, so that way your kick streams look professional. So the first thing you're gonna
wanna do is you're gonna wanna go ahead and have o Bs installed. And then here on the left hand side
where it says scenes, we're gonna start to create all the scenes that
we're gonna go ahead and build out. So we're gonna hit this plus icon. The first scene we're gonna
call is gonna be starting soon. You're gonna select, okay? And the best thing is that
you're not gonna need to do this again after you do it this time. So if you follow what I'm showing you step
by step, you're gonna have professional look and stream by the end of this video. So then we're gonna do,
ending soon, gonna hit okay. Then we're gonna go ahead
and add, be right back. Then we're gonna go ahead
and add countdown timer. We're gonna go ahead and add gameplay
scene, and then we're gonna go ahead and add here our just chatting. Okay. We're gonna take our countdown timer
screen and we're gonna push it all the way up right under starting soon. We're gonna go ahead and get our
gameplay scene and go ahead and put it under countdown timer, and then we're
gonna get our just chatting scene and we're gonna put it under countdown,
and then we have our Be right back. We'll put it here under gameplay
scene, and now this is gonna be our core scenes that we're gonna
be able to utilize starting soon. Countdown time. We're just chatting, gameplay scene. Be right back and ending soon. So now we need our sources. So our sources are going to be
the overlays that we're gonna go ahead and add to our stream. So if you don't have any kind of
overlays, I'm gonna go ahead and utilize overlays from stream designs. They have tons of animated overlays. You can go ahead and utilize. I'm gonna go ahead and
utilize the Crimson package. You can go ahead and find a link in
the description to this package or to stream designs in general, but this
is gonna give us everything that we need our starting soon, our ending,
soon our be right back, even our alerts, our panels, our webcam overlay. It's gonna go ahead and give us our
just chatting and our gameplay bar. And then of course you can see here
that they're gonna be animated. So this is how we're gonna be able
to go ahead and see the animation. We got our countdown timer. We're gonna have our be right back
and everything is gonna be animated. So once you go ahead and
selected your package, we're gonna come back here to o Bs. And we're gonna start with
our starting soon, right? This is gonna be the scene that you
play right when you hit Go Live. Okay? So we're gonna go ahead and hit
this little plus icon under sources. We're gonna come to where it says
here, media Source, because it is animated now, if you're not using. Animated overlays. You can go ahead and select image
to select a non-animated overlay. So for this example,
we're gonna use animation. Animation is always gonna be a little
bit more exciting, create more movement, and get people interested in your stream. So we're gonna name this starting soon. We're gonna hit okay. And now it's gonna ask us to
go ahead and locate our file. So before you hit browse, when
you download a package from Stream Designs, it's gonna first come
in and look like this, right? It's gonna be a zip file. If you are on a Mac, you
wanna simply double click it. If you are on Windows, you wanna
right click and select extract, and then it's gonna go ahead and create a
folder just like this for you, right? So once you have that zip file
done and extracted, and you have a folder, you'll come to browse. We will go ahead and come to our desktop
and we'll come here to where it says here, animated stream overlays, crimson. You're gonna see overlay screens. We'll select that and now we're gonna
select our starting soon you'll hit open. And now here for this, we wanna make sure
you select loop, so that way it keeps going and then you wanna select, okay. Now you're gonna see here that
we have our starting soon screen. So next we're gonna wanna move over to
our countdown timer and the same thing, you can get the countdown timer over
on stream designs.com that matches the package that you want ahead and purchase. So we'll hit sources. We'll hit this plus icon. We're gonna hit Media source
again, we're gonna name this timer and we're gonna press okay. We're gonna come in here and hit browse. And now we're gonna do is you're
gonna come back here to the desktop and you're gonna see here
where it says countdown timer. We'll select that, we'll open it up. And then for this, you don't wanna
set loop because once the timer finishes, you want it to go ahead
and move on to the next scene. So we'll press okay. And the way that you would run this
is that you would start your stream with, you're starting soon, right? And then once you've got everything
finalized, you're ready to go, you then can go ahead and
transition to your countdown timer. That gives you an additional five
minutes to go ahead and get things going, get things wrapped up, get
people hyped up for your stream. And then from there you want
to go ahead and dive into your just chatting scene, right? So before we set up our just chatting
and our gameplay, I wanna set up our be right back because this is gonna be a
great scene in the event that you need to step away, somebody's at your door. You need to go use the restroom. You're able to use this scene here,
so we'll come to be right back. We're gonna come to sources. We're gonna hit this plus icon. We're then gonna go ahead and select
Media source, and we're gonna name this B rrb, you'll press okay, and then here on
the locate file, we're gonna hit browse. We're gonna come back to our
desktop, and then you'll look here for our animated stream overlay. We'll come to overlay screens
and then we'll look for where it says be right back. We'll hit that. Okay. This is, is you do wanna select
loop for this that way because you don't know how long you're gonna be. And now we have our be
right back scene set up. Then let's go ahead and
set up our ending soon. This is a great way for you to be able
to put on this screen when you're ending. People can still hear your voice, you
can talk to them, and then you can get ready to go ahead and host someone, uh,
to send over everybody who's watching your stream over to somebody else's stream. So we'll hit ending soon. Come to plus sign under sources,
we'll come to Media Source and then we're gonna name this ending, you'll
press okay and we'll locate our file. We'll come to ending soon. And then for this here, you
also wanna select it at Loop. And now you can see here
that we have our ending soon. So we've set up our, starting
soon we've set up our countdown. We're set up our Be right back. And we've end setting up our ending soon. So now what we wanna do is that
when you're transitioning between scenes, it's very important that
it's not just a basic transition. You want it to have
some kind of animation. Again, we really want your stream to
look professional, and that's where a stinger transition comes in handy, right? So we're gonna go ahead
and set that up now. And again, you can get that
over@streamdesigns.com. Again, the link is in the
description of this video. So I'm gonna come ahead here to
where it says Scene transition. I'm gonna go ahead and switch
this over and I'm gonna select this little plus icon. I'm gonna come and select the stinger,
and then we're gonna name this stinger. Transition you're gonna select,
okay, and now this is gonna ask you to upload your video file. So we'll hit browse. I'm gonna come back to my desktop and I'm
gonna go to the Stinger transition folder. And now I have my stinger transition here. So I went ahead and added that in there. There you wanna scroll down and you wanna
hit preview transition because the most important thing that we wanna focus on
here, Is this time transition point. So the goal of a signature is that
you want that to extinguish to occur, and you don't wanna see the B, right? So if we leave it at zero, And
we hit this, you see the, you saw the B first, meaning the B is
significant of your next scene. So you don't want to click transition
and then you instantly see the A, right? So what I've found, and this is
something you need to just tweak based on where you get your overlays from,
if you got 'em from stream designs, you can kind of play around with the
numbers that I'm giving you here, which is like seven 50 is typically
a sweet spot, uh, for the transition. So if we go ahead and hit preview, you
can see here, Then now you didn't see the B when I hit preview or the A, right? So that's kind of B, the sweet spot,
and that's what you want there. Then here where you want audio fade style,
you wanna make sure this says cross fade. What that means is that if you were
to talk and switch between scenes, it's gonna maintain your voice
and it's not gonna cut your voice out when you go into a new scene. So once you have that in place,
you'll press okay, and now you can see it that when we go from starting
soon to our countdown, We now have a nice animation that's gonna happen. Same thing when we go
to our Be right back. So now that we have our signatures
in place, our stream is already starting to look professional. Now let's go ahead and
add in our gameplay scene. So when we come to our gameplay
scene, there's gonna be multiple things that we need to add, right? The first thing is our play. So based on what you use to game, this
is gonna determine how you do this. So we hit this plus icon. The first option is if, if you stream
directly on your PC or on your Mac, then you're gonna wanna go ahead and use screen
capture if you're on the Mac, or you wanna do window capture if you are on Windows. Once you select that, if you're gonna
leave it as screen capture, and then it's gonna ask you to decide what you
want to go ahead and display, you'll select window capture, and then you
can go ahead and select the game that you're gonna want to be able to stream. So for this example, I'm gonna
utilize a console, meaning that I'm utilizing a capture card to be
able to bring in my gameplay scene. So I'm gonna hit this little plus icon. And if you're using a capture
card, what you wanna do is you wanna select video capture device. I'm gonna name this capture card. You are gonna select, okay, and now
it's gonna ask you to select the device. So what we wanna do is we wanna select
our capture card that's connected to our console, whether it be your Xbox,
your Switch, or your PlayStation five. So I'm gonna go ahead and
select here the, uh, HD 60 X. It's gonna be my gameplay. You're gonna see that my gameplay
is gonna come in now, so you can see my Xbox dashboard. So I can load up a game. You can see that it's
working perfectly fine. So now that I have that in place,
So we've added in our gameplay. The next thing that we want to
add to this scene is going to be our gameplay overlay bar. So to be able to add that, we're
gonna hit this little plus icon. We're gonna hit media source,
and this came along with your stream designs overlay package. So we're gonna say overlay
bar, you're gonna select Okay. And now we're gonna come to locate file. We're gonna browse, we're gonna come back
to our desktop, and then here where it says Animated stream Overlay, you wanna
come to where it says overlay screen. And then here you're gonna
see your overlay bar. So we'll open that up. You can have it on loop because you
want the animation to keep going. And now we have our bar here. It's gonna showcase our new
follower, our new subscriber, our new donation, and our stream goal, right? And later, I'll show you how to go
ahead and have the names automatically pop up when those things happen. So typically your overlay bar sits
at the top of your stream and you can size it, make it small, make
it bigger, or you don't even have to use it if you don't want to. Um, but I'm gonna go
ahead and add it in there. And then I'm gonna go
ahead and lock it as well. So now we have our overlay bar. The next thing we want to
add is gonna be our camera. So you can, if you don't have a
camera, you don't need to add it. If you do have a webcam, then you
can go ahead and add it in here. Now. So what I'm gonna do is that I'm
gonna go ahead and hit this little plus icon and I'm gonna come and
select the video capture device. Now this is where I'm
gonna type in camera. I'm gonna go ahead and hit okay. And then it's gonna go ahead and ask
me to go ahead and select my camera. So I'm gonna go ahead and do that. Now I'm gonna come here
to where it says Cam link. And now you can actually see me that I
went ahead and popped up here, select. Okay. And now what I wanna do is that I
wanna resize this, make it smaller. And I just wanna go ahead and
place this where I need it to be. Now if you want, you can leave
it that way, but inside of your Stream Designs package, it did
come with a webcam overlay. So we're gonna leave our webcam
overlay big for just a moment. We're gonna come here and I'm
gonna go ahead and just disable it just for a moment here. And then I'm gonna come to this plus icon. I'm gonna go to Media Source. I'm gonna name this webcam overlay. I'm gonna select, okay. And now here you're gonna
locate your file, right? We're gonna come back here
to our animated package. We're gonna come to where it says
webcam overlays, and you have three different options of webcam overlays
based on what it is that you want to use. Now, I'd like to go ahead
and use without the border. Select open. And now we can go ahead and
select loop because we do want the animation to happen. And now here we have our webcam border. So now we can go ahead and bring in our
camera so we can go ahead and adjust this. So the first thing you wanna do is
you wanna grab your webcam overlay and you wanna adjust it and make it
the right size for this canvas here. Once you had that in, Place. What you want to do is you want to either
hit, uh, control or alt on your keyboard or command on the Mac, and that's gonna
go ahead and allow you to be able to select both the webcam and the camera. And now what you wanna do it is
a quick little hack, is you wanna right click, you wanna select group
selected items, and we're gonna name this camera once you do that. And the reason why we do this, Okay is
because now that it's in a group, now I can resize this and it resizes the
camera and the overlay at the same time. So now I can grab my camera. Place it where I want it to be. And now you can see here that we've
now created our gameplay scene. Now you can see here that my
game is on this camera, but I'm facing away from my screen. So the easy fix to be able to adjust that
is to click on your camera, go ahead and go to where it says Transform, and you
want to go ahead and flip horizontally. Right. So now you can see here that I'm looking
at the screen and that's what you want to be able to get viewers to kind of
engage with you to know that you're looking at your gameplay scene, right? So now we have that in place. Again, you can see here that when we
transition, now we have a nice transition. We come back to our gameplay
and now we have this all set up. The only other thing that you would want
to add to this gameplay scene is gonna be your chat to be able to show it on
stream, and I'm gonna show you how to add that here in just a few moments as well. So now we wanna go ahead and move
over to our just chatting scene. This is the scene that you're gonna
utilize either right after your countdown time, or to start engaging with your
community before you dive into the game. Um, but it's also a great way to
be able to just have breaks in between when games are loading. This is also a scene that comes
in a stream designs package. So we're gonna come to sources,
we're gonna press plus, we're gonna go ahead and select Media source. We're gonna name this, just chatting. We're gonna select, okay. And then here where it
says Locate Locate file. We're gonna go ahead and
go back to our desktop. We're gonna open up our animated package. We're gonna come to where
it says Overlay screens. And you're gonna see just chatting. You'll hit open. You wanna select loop, so
the animation keeps going. And now you can see here that
we have a just chatting screen. So now you're gonna see three
different options here, right? So you have here in the center a
box to be able to put a webcam. You have a box here to be able to put
your gameplay, or you have, and you have a box here to put your live chat. This is all based on what you want to do. If you wanna put your game here in the
center and you wanna put yourself small here at the top, you can do that, right? So for this example, I'm gonna
put myself big in the center. I'm gonna put my gameplay on the
right, and then we'll have our chat here on the bottom right. So, And to be able to do that, we're
gonna select video capture device. Now we don't need to add a new
one, we can just select the camera. Select, okay, here's the camera. Now what I'm gonna do is that
I'm gonna size this and I'm gonna place it in this box. And then once I have it where I kind of
want it, I just wanna grab my camera and put it under the just chatting overlay. And now you can see that I
have a nice box around me with. Out any kind of spill of my camera. So now that's in place. The next thing we wanna
do is add our gameplay. So we're gonna do the
same exact step, right? We're gonna hit, gonna select video
capture device, and then we're gonna add existing, and we're gonna do
capture card, we're gonna select, okay? And we'll do the same thing. We'll resize this. And we'll put this here in this box. And again, this can be your screen
share, this can be your gameplay. It's gonna be anything that you
want to be able to display there. Um, and then you grab your capture card
and you place it under the overlay. And now you can see that everything's
looking pretty smooth, right? So we have our camera, and
now we have our gameplay. So the only thing, other thing that's
missing here is gonna be our live chat. It's gonna be our alert and
it's going to go ahead and be. Are or our stream labels
that we have here in place. That way when somebody on Kick
Subscribes alert comes up when your chat is trying to talk to you on
kick, all of your things pop up here. So to go ahead and get your kick chat
overlay all set up inside of O B S studio, go ahead and watch this video right here
where I walk you step by step on setting that up so that way you can complete
the look and feel of your kick stream. I'll see you guys in the next video.
