@@ChancyFit Ok. Got it! Well, at least you're going live!!! Consider looking at Ecamm! A GREAT tool! Check it out for free and let me know what you think. www.ecamm.com/mac/ecammlive/?fp_ref=walter38
Similar to Ecamm, OBS has Scenes and then Overlay. If you're on the scene that you want, you then go into the overlay section and click on the + to add a source, which would be an image or your overlay file.
Hey Walt, just discovered your channel. Awesome content. Sub'ed. I use Mac Preview every day and loved some of those new shortcuts and features I had no idea bout.
Hi are you familiar with Affinity Designer? I ask because you are a great teacher. I also stream live on Twitch from my MacBook Pro and it’s a little difficult for me since I’m a new streamer. Thank you.
Great question. It depends on the platform you're using. Canva now has a video option where you can add animations or transitions if you're using it as a video editor.
Great video Walter. My question for you can I create that same type of template in Canva and use it in Strem Yard? Or are the designs you have made specifically for Ecamm? Thanks for answering my question.
These are designs I've made specifically for Ecamm but the same would apply for Streamyard because they utilize overlays, as well. When it comes to guests or panels, you have to size it based on their setup because they don't have the option to overlay video like in Ecamm or OBS.
@@waltjennette Thank you for the clarification. I will definitely use your video as a tutorial to design my new overlays for live stream show. Thanks again.
@walter jennette I was able to get to the end of the video and wasn’t able to make the overlay transparent because my THINKPAD doesn’t have the command key and insta alpha IS NOT AVAILABLE on the markup tool once downloaded as a PNG so I’m stuck. Can you give me some advice or tips ?
Markup is for Mac but it's not a separate app. When you take a screenshot or open a picture in the preview app, there's a highlighter icon. That's the markup tool.
Thank you so much for commenting. So it depends on the software that you're using. Personally, I can add mine in Ecamm and it's baked into the video OR you add it in post production when you're editing your videos.
Well, it depends. Either I'll go ahead and make the guest name as part of the overlay to eliminate having to do it in Ecamm. Or if it's an overlay I'm going to use all the time, I'll leave it blank and just create a new text overlay each time for a different guest in Ecamm.
Yes you can. I personally use Ecamm live, which has a virtual cam feature so I'm able to push any overlays or graphics going on inside of Ecamm live out to zoom!
So unfortunately you can’t do this IN ZOOM without another software like Ecamm live. Ecamm Live has a function called Virtual Camera that outputs all of my overlays and production to Zoom!
