Can you use any EDIT software like Filmora9 to export this over to STREAMYARD ?

[@DougHewsonYT]

In The Garden and The Blessings if you mean create the start/countdown screen, yes. As long as you output it as an mp4, you can upload it to StreamYard.

Doug always makes the best videos. This one is no exception. In fact, the man has helped me clear up all kinds of issues.

[@DougHewsonYT]

Glad to help dude!

[@timyonce]

Very nice Doug, very clear and straight forward instructions.

[@DougHewsonYT]

Thanks Tim.

[@akiliia]

[@DougHewsonYT]

Welcome back!

[@AVEZOID]

This will be useful in the future when I do live streams

[@DougHewsonYT]

Very handy!

[@richardmajewski304]

Great videos Doug. Very helpful. thanks.

[@DougHewsonYT]

Glad it was helpful!

[@uptrail7169]

Thanks! I'll give it a try. The 30 second clock on StreamYard is too short.

[@DougHewsonYT]

No problem!

[@Scaleymodels]

Thanks Doug, very helpful

[@DougHewsonYT]

Hey, no problem!

[@InTheGardenandTheBlessings]

*IT was wonderful I saw you use this last SAT for your LIVE* THAT is great to have a delayed start if you have commercials that come on first too. IT was very great to have this need it on the premiers to be allowed too?

[@DougHewsonYT]

Because Premieres are pre-recorded, and become a regular video afterwards - its probably not practical to bake in a countdown as well. KZbin actually have their own countdowns built-in to allow people to come in before the video starts.

First comment I think

[@TraciWilliamsInspiringHope]

How long will the countdown be

[@DougHewsonYT]

If you use StreamYard, it can be up to 5 minutes.

[@kaysniperalpha3618]

On your about page why don't u put your social media links as the blue buttons instead of just writing it on your about page

[@DougHewsonYT]

I try not to unnecessarily drive traffic off KZbin, if possible. That's why there's no socials to click up on my banner.

[@PhilippinesDarrellCheeks]

LPS DOES not work in StreamYard

[@DougHewsonYT]

Their countdowns work best in Ecamm, OBS, etc. You can use them, but not the transparent element.

[@s2ssportscast973]

@@DougHewsonYT Is there a way to add a transparent countdown overlay to Streamyard?

[@DougHewsonYT]

@@s2ssportscast973 yes, you can create the countdown and save it out as a transparent MOV then convert it to a GIF. The only issue will be the file size limit StreamYard currently has for GIFs - you will have to balance the run time of the countdown v's the quality (frame rate) of the GIF to fit into the 3Mb limit.
