How To Add Date And Time On Video - 100% FREE WITH OBS STUDIO

[@RgrgrGrgrg-lk2th]

I have have optimized my previous script changes. The function script_description, I have added %dx to provide the option to add the th,st,nd,th to the day and added the timezone %z and %Z copy and paste the following code segment to replace the existing function function script_description() return "Sets a text source to act as a clock when the source is active.\ \ The datetime format can use the following tags:\ \ %a abbreviated weekday name (e.g., Wed)\ %A full weekday name (e.g., Wednesday)\ %b abbreviated month name (e.g., Sep)\ %B full month name (e.g., September)\ %c date and time (e.g., 09/16/98 23:48:10)\ %d day of the month (16) [01-31]\ %dx day of month with st,rd,th,nd (01st) [01-31]\ %H hour, using a 24-hour clock (23) [00-23]\ %I hour, using a 12-hour clock (11) [01-12]\ %M minute (48) [00-59]\ %m month (09) [01-12]\ %p either \"am\" or \"pm\" (pm)\ %S second (10) [00-61]\ %w weekday (3) [0-6 = Sunday-Saturday]\ %x date (e.g., 09/16/98)\ %X time (e.g., 23:48:10)\ %Y full year (1998)\ %y two-digit year (98) [00-99]\ %z timezone (0600)\ %Z timezone (Mountain Standard Time)\ %% the character `%´" end I have also modified the set_datetime_text function to accommodate the new %dx copy and paste the following code segment to replace the existing function function set_datetime_text(source, format) if string.find(format, "%%dx") ~= nil then local s = "thstndrd" local i = 0 local d = os.date("%d") if d[-1] == '1' then i = 2 elseif d[-1] == '2' then i = 4 elseif d[-1] == '3' then i = 6 end format = format.gsub(format, "%%dx", "%%d"..s.sub(s, i, 2)) end local text = os.date(format) local settings = obs.obs_data_create() obs.obs_data_set_string(settings, "text", text) obs.obs_source_update(source, settings) obs.obs_data_release(settings) end

[@LazyKing3D2Y]

Is there a way to make the text instead of horizontal vertical? Like this

[@josblykers6915]

Hi Scott - I ran into a problem and here is how I solved it: Copying/pasting the text from the script with Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V into a txt-file and subsequently renaming the file extension to .lua, did not work. Regardless of the extension one artificially adds, it remains a text file. However, if, when positioned on the script, one right-clicks and "saves the PAGE as" "All Files" (and so NOT as a Text Document), then the .lua characteristics are maintained. And by the way, there is no need for renaming afterwards, either. Hope it may help some other users as well. Jos (Windows 10 environment).

[@ScottFichter]

Thanks for posting the solution. Best wishes

[@clickbazz5248]

yeah ! it is working .......it was name of text which is need to be same as text source ......good work Scott...And thanks

[@mikefarrington7141]

Your solution is the proper one, Scott did it in a roundabout way. The reason it worked for him and not you is because he is showing file extensions on his computer, and you are not. Most tech people turn this on. What happened to you is you ended up with a file named datetime.lua.txt (but you couldn't see the .txt).

[@anthonyaquino9901]

thanks bro

[@aini_]

spent an hour trying to open the .lua script in mac at 4:42, writing this in case anyone else gets stuck - copying the script into textedit on mac doesn't save as .lua even if you rename it so obs won't recognise this file. to fix this download another text software (i used sublimetext) and if you rename that file it ill save as .lua and be loaded in :)

[@bradley_myers]

thank you man, i was disappointed but you saved me!

[@touhouDJ]

For anybody having trouble turning the TXT file into LUA, your folders might be set to hide extensions for KNOWN files. Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization > File Explorer Option > View, under the Advance Settings you'll see Hide extensions for known file types, uncheck then apply. TXT files will now turn into LUA files when you rename them.

Thanks for the script Scott. As it stands, the script forces the time to be US local time, to change that, say for us BRITS, REMOVE THE LINE: local time = time - (60*60*11) + (60*60*time_offset) Or edit it to suit your local time.

hi scott i want to ask something from u, could u tell me how do u set u timer along and music ?while live streaming , i wanna make study with me videos .. in which videos go along

[@ScottFichter]

The easiest way is to make a video with a green background with a timer countdown in the left or right side then add your audio track to that video. Then import that video and make the green background transparent. BOOM! Now you have a song playing with a countdown timer that is the exact length of the song. The video can be placed on top of any source because the green background will be invisible.

[@smassky]

I already had a clock for my streams in OBS, using a web page I built and hosted on my website, but I'm going to try the lua script so it doesn't have to go to my website all the time. Though it's not exactly resource or bandwidth heavy thing. I do have another part that constantly updates too, target for what I'm looking at with my telescope. That gets updated via a form on my website. Seems a little easier than changing text in obs when needed.

Thank you I didn't understand the "Text source" in OBS scripts, what should I type there? Thank you

[@ScottFichter]

You need to first create a text source. Create your text. When you keep the wording simple so you can remember it. Then when you open the LUA script there's a pulldown in most cases the pulldown will allow you to select the text source that you just created, if not, you need to enter the name of the text source. Upon doing that correctly the text sournce will switch to the countdown timer. Does that make sense.

Stupid question, does the time and date come from the system set time date or are you able to manually adjust time and date? Basically what I wanted to know is can this time and date be manipulated?

I'm almost sure the answer is yes. What are you looking to accomplish by adjusting the time? Are you looking to display multiple time zones?

[@oOSilentNdeadlyOo]

@@ScottFichter it’s a bit of a strange situation, we are using obs software to record a projectile being fired across a tube and then working out the force applied in a pharmaceutical environment. I’ve been tasked with validating the method. The biggest issue I’m having is, with the software overwrite check box under advanced settings. I need to ensure analyst cannot overwrite unwanted data or if data manipulation has occurred a reviewer is easily able to identify this. I tried to test whether I could lock this feature out but couldn’t find a way to do it. The next best way is to actually have time and date stamp on the video itself as this will enable us to see when a test is done and if there is a big gap between tests it would indicate possible over written data. The key point is though we need to ensure the time stamp on the obs takes its time from the laptop (which is locked by our internal regulations and cannot be manipulated meaning the it is compliant). If however the obs time stamp is self adjustable this would fail our IQOQ tests.

And how do you get around that? Thanks again for all the tips and tricks!! Love the channel.

[@ScottFichter]

Excellent question! I say this because I didn't know myself, and I uncovered something very cool. Let's say you have a browser with two tabs, one with the clock and one with a video on it. Your goal is to bring both Chrome tabs into your stream. The OBS "Window Capture" source has that pulldown that allows you to choose what program to show. You will only see "Chrome" as a choice. You do not have the option to select a tab. The solution is to grab the tab and drag it out of Chrome, so two instances of Chrome are created, not two tabs two instances. When you go back into "Window Capture," it will then show you both chrome windows. Wow!! I might make a video about this!!!!

[@VDeeO_Buff]

@@ScottFichter Nice one Scott! How cool is that!!!! Hey....what works really good also is, rather than using a "Window Capture" source to grab the time.is website, use a "Browser Capture" source instead.....and then, rather than choosing Green in the Chroma Key filter choose a custom color and choose white instead!!!! Then just go ahead and make the color adjustments as you demonstrate in your video and you end up with all your times..........and you don't even need to keep a Chrome, or any other browser window even open!!!! You can close down all your Web windows and the time remains captured via the Browser Source!!!! As I said, LOVE the channel!!!!!

Hi Scott, thanks for making a video on "Date & Time" for the videos and for the live stream . I came across a small program called SNAZ, through which , we can set Date, Time, Count Up and Down. If possible make another video on that, please. Thanks.

Hello scot, Facebook is blocked in our country therefore streaming with obs became hard yet i really want to keep my Facebook community engaged, how can I do it to stream freely?

[@ScottFichter]

Paul, so Facebook is blocked but you want to keep your Facebook community engaged? Did you mean to say that Facebook streaming is blocked?
