Wondering if you could do a green screen version of this. Image of the room, key the screen (attached to a wood panel), use obs to show whatever you want on that "screen" and you could move it, allowing the background to change, but keep the overlay tracked to the green screen.
Thanks for all the creative ideas Nutty! I’m not yet at the point where I’d go spending resources on setting this up, but as always, your videos tickle my inner creative.
Your videos are always so informative. I appreciate how you're one of the few channels that shows exactly how to do everything (except the code for some reason; I guess I'll have to freeze frame or Google it.) This is very much in line with stuff like Metal Jesus Rocks, who explains, in detail, how to capture game footage from stuff like handhelds and setting up an elgato. BTW I used your video on creating an animated border to make a cutout animated GIF for use as an element in an overlay. The chroma keying was, in retrospect, an obvious choice, but I wouldn't have tried it without your video. Thanks again for such good content!
I don't even stream on twitch or anything, but I found so cool the tech aspects of it, and Nutty is so cool explaining it. The perfect balance between info-dump and cringe hahaha love it.
Thanks for this, I've got a TV on a similar mount I've been wanting to put in the background and wanted Alerts to appear on. couldn;t work out a solution but "just run OBS on another PC" is big brain!
your videos are just amazing, I don't even stream for a while now but I still come back to see what you up to. Unfortunately having 2 computers and decorative monitors are not feasible to me in a 3rd world country where tech is expensive af but it is nice to know that the possibilities are there.
I was thinking of doing this using a spare Raspberry Pi and a webcam. That way it would be a real time view of what's behind. Matter of fact, Raspberry Pi has a camera you can use that would make things easy. I never got around to doing it, but after seeing the video, maybe I'll revisit it.
I've thought about using my projector like this. Maybe that'll be my weekend project as I'm tidying up the current wall where the projector points. Also gib the screen change widget pretty pls!!!
I'm talking from ignorance here but, Would it be possible to set up a similar screen, but using a green screen? So that it appears as floating window, without the screen edges?
Wonder if a cheap webcam on the back of the monitor might not give you a live version. I'm sure it would have its own challen ges, but it would be a fun test
@@IzzyIkigai Yeah you're right, I was thinking you could maybe use the 3d transform tool to offset the differences, but it would probably be too wonky. I guess to even have a shot, you would need something with a super wide angle.
It wasn't the point of the video, but seeing the Affinity software in action was eye-opening. That is a VERY Adobe like experience at a great price. I'm intrigued
I hope you got a Ryzen mini PC? Those are cheaper and more powerful grafically, since any CPU will do the job. I am obsessing over the newest mini PCs with Ryzen 7000, they have AV1 encoding!
This is Pretty cool and really interesting Concept. but to extend the idea on it; since you have that stand. could you possibly mount a wide angle camera or a HD webcam in back with a simple that clamp that is centered behind the monitor, so you wouldn't have to reposition it, perfectly every time you would need to move it?
Easy enough to do ... I'm thinking this will help with my DJ streams ... also some hidden things in the bot (chat will trigger them & yes I have cool downs LUL) hmmm ... now I'll be looking for 2nd hand stuff that is dirt cheep to do this with - THanks Nutty!!1
When you put your arm behind the screen, obviously your arm disappeared. What about having a rear facing webcam as the input to make the transparent background, and then it actually would look like a window and be able to show your arm behind it? Wouldn't have to do a screen shot or use floor tape, either
Someone probably already mentioned it in the comments, but you actually can transform any LCD screen into a "transparent" screen and its not even that hard. There are some videos about it.
Absolutely. In fact, you could even use the same instance of OBS that you use to stream. Just build your "Display" scene separate to all the scenes you use for streaming, then right click your "Display" scene and open a full screen projector.
Great video! Is it neccessary to have a seperate tiny PC for this? I had a thought in my mind of achieving it by attaching it with my streaming rig via HDMI and making a different scene on OBS and setting it to full screen projection (Scene) on the monitor that's behind me, what's your thoughts on this?
@@VirtualTruckerChronicles I did the same too, two instances of OBS on a single PC, but that PC just handles my stream so yeah, this sounds more easy to setup & budget friendly as well 😁
so i have a tv behind me that’s just connected to my pc with hdmi. can i still do stuff like this? just open another obs for that one screen? and have streamerbot recognize that as a separate obs?
Really cool stuff, thank you. What's the benefit of running it as a stand-alone computer with its own OBS and stream deck etc? Compared, say, to wirelessly connecting it to your main machine as another monitor? Is it a resolution issue?
I think it would look even nicer if you rotated the monitor to position the thicker bezel closer to the edge of the stream, instead of closer to the middle.
Couldn't you just take a screen shot of your room, and then make your monitor have a green image to use green screen features in your stream PC's OBS? That way you could move the monitor and the image would remain static making it trully transparant? Only issue is that that camera can't move. And you'd have to do different screenshots with every different angle. Incidentally, doing that would also mean that you can apply any filter to your screenshot (blur, color saturation, alpha color) Finally you can still have the TV itself show the overlays and such (just on a green background) That's how I would do it anyway.
Why not just add an inexpensive webcam to the back of the monitor rig and feed it into OBS on the mini PC? Then you could move the rig around without having to take a new photo each time. You might have to slightly adjust the angle of the webcam depending on where/how you moved it, but it seems like it would be much faster/easier than taking a new photo and editing it. It would also have the benefit of updating in real-time when lights are turned on/off, etc.
The angle wouldn't align right. The monitor isn't parallel to the camera. That's why he had to stretch the clean plate image. Also the camera couldn't point straight back, it needs to point to the exact same location as the stream camera.
Wouldn't a green screen/chroma key on the background have been more efficient? It would allow you to change the position of the screen and it would dynamically display what's behind it.
Yeah that's what I would asssume is the easiest thing, little c920, mounted 90 degrees, apply a blur and zoom way in cos the FOV is pathetic. Only thing is there'll be a little delay
@@djsusan00it has nothing to do with the sensor. The camera is positioned differently to the main camera. You physically cannot get the image to look right unless the monitor was literally see through.
So next step would be to add a webcam behind the screen that films what’s in the back, add it to OBS and then BOOM, you can actually walk behind your “transparent” screen and it pick up real time what happens behind… You’re welcome 😂
Everyone already suggested this. I tried it, it doesn't look as good as you'd hope. A rear mounted camera just does not get the same perspective as your main camera, so it's nearly impossible to get things to line it properly. Much more difficult than just lining up the monitor once every stream.
