If you haven’t already, add your webcam output to OBS. Now let’s achieve that ghostly camera effect seen in the video above. Once you’ve selected the WEBM file, drag it to the top of your source list to make it the topmost layer. Create a new media source, name it, but this time leave the ‘Loop’ property turned off (by default). Now add your new Intro animation (which can be downloaded above). Once added, make sure this remains the bottom layer of your sources list that way our effects and webcam captures will appear on top (and not be hidden). Turn on the ‘Loop’ check box in the properties window, then click ‘Browse’ to select your WEBM background video (which you should have downloaded earlier). Click the ‘+’ button under your Sources dock, select ‘Media Source’ from the list and name it ‘Background’. We’ll start with the kaleidoscope background animation. A blueprint like this will allow you to see the bigger picture as you’re rearranging complex actions and timing. You don’t have to create a work of art or anything a simple progression flow will work wonders. Familiarize yourself with the icons, as they’ll be appearing frequently.
Remember, nearly everything we’re about to create is made using the three actions below: multi actions, delays, and OBS sources. Let’s see what we can create, yeah? Tutorial: Creating Effects Combined with some simple animations and your OBS software, your viewers will be tripping more than a Burning Man attendee. Starting to make sense?Īs far as this guide is concerned, the real magic begins when we start combining the two multi action and delays. You just need to create a 60 second delay between the starting screen and the stinger transition. Let’s say you’re creating a multi action for the above but you want your starting soon screen to run for one minute. Starting Soon Screen > Stinger Transition > Gameplay Scene For example, consider this basic intro progression: They are measured in milliseconds, allowing you to set ‘pauses’ or timers between actions. Multi actions are an amazing time-saving tool that allow you to multitask without breaking a sweat.ĭelays on the other hand, are time placeholders that can be plugged into your multi action sequences. Crazy huh? No more manually managing sources and media, no more having to divert attention off-stream. With multi actions you can chain all of these actions together and then trigger them with one key press. Sound too good to be true? Let’s take this typical stream intro as an example:Ĭhange to starting soon screen > Start stream > Wait 1 second > Tweet that you’re going live > Wait 1 minute > Post a welcome message to your chat

We’ll take complicated stream scenes, break them into individual actions within a timeline, then automate the entire series and map it to one Stream Deck key. Multi Actions allow you to carry out complex processes with a single button on your Elgato Stream Deck. Let’s take a closer look at your two secret weapons: Multi Action and Delays. Elgato makes a great green screen as well, but those on tight budgets can skip this ingredient for now.
It’s not 100% required to produce effects, but you’ll find the quality of your effects will improve greatly with chroma keying. One important item to consider is a green screen.
We’ll be taking your source and scene management skills to the next level – manipulating layers and timing to create awesome animations. We’d recommend Streamlabs OBS, OBS Studio, OBS.Live (StreamElements), or XSplit, but the choice is yours. Next, we’ll be using your favorite broadcasting software. The steps below will work with all models: Stream Deck, Stream Deck XL, Stream Deck Mini, or Stream Deck Mobile. More specifically, we’ll be mastering the Stream Deck’s super-useful Multi Action and Delay tools.
Soon, you’ll be able to unleash trippy effects, rave scenes, and dance parties on command.īelieve it or not, you only need two main elements to create basic effects like these.įirst, and most importantly, you need an Elgato Stream Deck. And we’re going to show you how.įollow the quick steps below and you’ll have mastered the basics in no time. OK, maybe you’re not about to become the next SushiDragon (literal GOAT), but you CAN put on one heck of a show for your viewers. What if we told you that you could trigger similar effects on your stream with a simple click? And no, you don’t need to be a 5Head to pull it off ( although it certainly helps). Ever wish you knew the secrets to create effects like these? No, it’s not sorcery.
