Make OBS Transitions in Resolve - DaVinci Resolve 17 & OBS Studio Tutorial

hello my name is casers and i like to make some stuff hey i'm casey ferris i make videos on davinci resolve here on youtube and today we're talking about making a transition that you can use inside of obs and how to render it with an alpha channel which is the fancy word for transparency so it looks all cool and stuff so let's do that all right so here we have our scenes in obs i have our game scene and our camera scene these are just stills so we can show you what's going on because the obs that i actually use is on a different computer anyways but this is the general setup and what we're going to be making is a little piece of video that plays in between these scenes to make it look like a fancy transition oh boy and we're going to make them in resolve so i'll switch back over to resolve 17 and the long and short of this is you make a really short video and from my tests and what i've figured out for this to actually work you kind of gotta make it in fusion for it to render with transparency now this is probably a bug that they're gonna fix but i've tried all kinds of things like making stuff here in the edit page and adding transitions to them and stuff and for some reason they don't render right i cannot get them to actually be good if anybody has any suggestions on how to actually do that i would love to know because i've made these compound clips i've done all kinds of fancy things to try and get this to work as a transition because you sure think it would but it doesn't but i'll show you a way that works every time and the good news is because we're kind of doing some fancy graphics here odds are you're going to want to use fusion anyway so let's go up to the media pool and i'm going to right click and say new fusion composition and it's going to say what kind of fusion composition do you want i'm going to say well i want it to be 29.97 because that's the frame rate i'm going to stream at if you're streaming at 60 make it 60 and i'm gonna make this about two seconds long we'll call this obs transition and hit create now that'll show up over here in the media pool and if we double click on it that'll open up fusion with a blank composition first thing we're going to do is start with the background node and i'll connect that to our media out that's going to give us a black screen then i'm going to select this background node and go over to the inspector here where it has the color and just turn down alpha that's going to give us a nice reliable transparent background on which to do our things let's make something shall we i'm going to open up the media pool and i'm going to grab our tough dog logo this is our fake gaming account here tough dog we're all about gaming but also blue hats and let's say we want this logo to kind of wipe the screen right so maybe it starts out really big and it kind of slams down on the screen and kind of almost does the batman thing right well let's take the logo and i'll take the output of the logo and merge it onto our background just like that and now we have the logo on our transparent background and we're gonna have this come in pretty quick i'm thinking like over five frames or so it's gonna be right here so everybody can see that they're still watching tough dog gaming and blue hats so at about five frames i'm gonna go over to our inspector with our merge one selected and i'll make a keyframe on size as well as angle i'm just saying this is where i want it to be when we're at five frames then let's go over to frame zero and we'll take this size and we'll boost it up a little bit and we'll even rotate this to where this fills up most of the screen and we do have a couple holes here we should probably fill them in but chances are nobody's gonna notice so let's see how this looks so it comes in like that yeah it's a standard so over five frames we're going to animate this logo in it's going to sit there for a little bit i'll keyframe our size and angle again and then at the end we'll just have this disappear so now it goes sync and then goes out into narnia right that's pretty good but the thing with the transition is you generally want it to fill the whole screen at some point and we do right here but it's going to make a little bit nicer transition if we fill up the whole screen for a while so let's make a background node and we're going to put this behind our logo just grab a background node from our bar here and drag it in between our background one and our merge that will merge that background over our clear background and let's make this color something nice something the tough dog would be happy about in fact let's even add a vignette to this i'll hit shift spacebar and type vig and that'll automatically add a vignette to my background here and let's make it a little bit softer and a little bit bigger we just want a subtle vignette right so that looks kind of nice that's cool so when this logo starts to go off into the distance we want it to kind of drag the background with it so right here at frame 55 we're going to animate the size of our merge here which controls our background color and vignette so i'll make a keyframe on size and move down and then bring that all the way down so that just kind of sucks it with it like that and that looks alright but it just kind of looks like we scaled the whole thing down because effectively that's really what we're doing so let's make this a little bit fancier i'm going to select this merge 2 and let's hit shift spacebar and i'm going to type dist and select lens distort this is going to let us add just a little bit of stretch to our background as it goes away and i'm going to move down a couple frames just so we can see what's going on and then here in our inspector with our lens to sort selected i'm going to twirl down lens distortion model and push up our curvature x and curvature y and the distortion and so what this is doing is just kind of stretching the corners out because what this is meant to do is undistort the curvature of a lens like barrel distortion but we can use it on these graphics to kind of have this little stretch effect so when it comes up it's kind of pulling it in right so now when we play this back subtle but it kind of pulls it in there the other thing that's going to help all of this is if we add some motion blur and the way that you do that inside of fusion is anything that you want to have motion blur you can just select and then go over to settings and click on motion blur and that will add nice motion blur we'll boost up the quality a little bit and same thing for our merge one settings motion blur will boost up the quality a lot for that because that's a little easier to tell what's going on all right so now we have our animation here last thing that we need to do is smooth out some of our curves by that i mean once this starts to animate that it starts slowly and speeds up over time and when this comes down it kind of slows down before it stops instead of just banging to a stop it just makes things look nice when you do that so i'm going to go up to the spline panel right here click on this and that'll open up down here just our windows here a little bit and down here on the spline panel i'm just going to check everything because we're animating a lot of stuff and then click on this little button right here zoom to fit and that will show us everything that's being animated so i'm going to select the inner keyframes here and hit f on the keyboard so that they kind of slide to a stop and i'll select our keyframes at 55 and hit f it's like not displaying correctly but i think it should still work and now we have some nice motion blur and it kind of just animates nicely yeah it's good so now that we like it let's go back to the edit page to render this we need to add it to a timeline so i'll right-click over here and go to timelines and create new timeline and we're going to uncheck use project settings so we want to make sure that we are doing it right timeline frame rate we're going to do 20 29.97 1080 that sounds good i'll hit create then we'll take our obs transition and just throw it into the timeline here so now we wait just a second it should cache and there we go place back nicely it's perfect so now that it's looking good let's take this and go over to the deliver page just click on deliver with our timeline up here and here are the settings that i use to make a stinger transition in resolve for obs just click on custom file name we'll call this tough dog transition location obviously the desktop the most pro place to go format quicktime codec gopro cineform type is rgb 16 bit and then down here resolution and frame rate are fine i'm going to check export alpha if you don't check this you're not going to have a transparency channel if this isn't rgb 16 bit it's not going to let you check this if it's not gopro cineform i've had mixed results with it working in obs but this pretty much always works and that's really all we need to do i'll click on add to render queue and that'll throw it over here in our render queue let's just click on render all and it'll take a second and render that out and now in obs down here where it says scene transitions let's click on where it says fade here and then click add stinger a stinger is just obs name for a video that plays in between it's a transition right and we'll call this toughdog transition and hit ok and now it's going to ask for a video file so we'll browse to our video file this one right here hit open and now if we scroll down a little bit we can click preview and it will show us what it's going to look like oh and it just works so well look at that that's cool and if your full screen part doesn't happen till later you can change this transition point to be later so if there's something that's supposed to be completely transparent over the first video you can tell it to make the cut later so if you want to make it after one second you can hit a thousand milliseconds and then that's where it's going to change it for ours it doesn't really matter as long as it's towards the beginning and not the end oh it's looking so good also if you have audio on your transition or anything which you could totally make and add to the timeline and resolve you can change how the audio is handled there but i'll hit okay and now in between our scenes look what happens oh baby it's great look at that it looks sick so that's how you do it that's how it's done graphics from fusion and resolve into obs and if you're getting into obs this video pairs nicely with this one the the one that i'm referencing pairs nicely with the one that you're watching so you should check that out because it's important has obs stuff in it
