Create Animated Lower Thirds in OBS AMAZING FREE Tool!

[@oompje]

Nice tutorial Michael. The lightning button to the right of the memory slots, when active, does the following: If the lower third isn't active (button right top of the lower third), it just automatically switches on the lower third whenever you click on a memoryslot that holds lower third info.

I solved the problem by following advice given on OBS Forum, only thing it was the reverse of what was told me to enable, I had to disable instead. Turning off Browser Source Hardware Acceleration in the settings worked for me. I never would have thought about looking there for the answer. SOLVED!!

Awesome

How did you do it? mine is still showing red

[@ChrisSpiegl]

Good update: OBS v27 will now support browser docks in macOS ❤. So no more window capturing there. Cheers for this great video.

[@KimSellstedt]

Cant get it to work under MAC even if I have the new version with the cutom dock alternative. My guess is that the file naming system in mac and windows are so different that the program can't read the URL. Anyone else got it to work under mac?

[@KimSellstedt]

After some fidgeting I found that the way to find the correct URL to the local file is to double click the .html file and copy the URL from the now open browser. This made the program able to read the URL and launch the dock. Lets see if it works as intended. Good luck everyone

[@clauspfisterer8917]

Hi Michel. Thx for the video. I have a problem after the latest obs 27.2.1 64bit update. I can not see my lower thirds anymore. Docks look fine but nothing happens when I try to use them. I'm scratching my head here.

[@mikosoft]

I have created completely custom lower thirds for OBS using motion functions plugin (or something like that) but it's a PITA to deal with two scenes per each lower third. I will have a look at this and see if I can possibly make them my own because it will simplify my thirds A LOT.

[@MichaelFeyrerJr]

These are pretty configurable and look good. They are also pretty easy.

[@alphamultitv]

Very good obs tutorials.keep it up.

[@quantyquanty3724]

I added my Zoom interface to OBS as a camera in using another computer via HDMI capture card then stream to Facebook and back into the same Zoom meeting via virtual camera using this lower third feature and stinger transition. I spotlighted/pin active participants in fullscreen view. I like the this lower third that enhance my Zoom meetings.

[@yobee8329]

Great video. Tip regarding URL link. If you hold down Ctrl + Shift and right-click the file name you will see an option to "Copy Path". This will give you the full path including the file extension. You will have to remove the "quotes" when you paste the URL in the required field. I hope this helps

Hi Michael, I'm struggling with that. I've put 2 lower thirds in actions and they're not acting normal. Numbers get randomized and it's just a mess with the animation. I've tried several things, it's still a. Big mess. Would that be possible that that thing needs an update ? It's no script or plug-in so it's kinda weird. Maybe putting 6 logos and 12 sentences via 2 lower thirds on 1 source is heavy, idk, what do you think ?
