Excellent pace and content. Thanks

I am so glad I discovered your channel after wanting to set up for streaming and just winging it so far :D

Happy to help!

So idk whats different but I did this as I’ve been trying to make a good transition for a while but keep having the same issue. When I export alpha in both Shutter Encoder and Davinci then put it into OBS, the black background is still there. When I switch scenes it turns black does the transition then hard switches. The alpha doesn’t work.

Does the mov file that was exported out of Resolve work directly in OBS? If it doesnt, double check if there's anything else other than the stinger on the timeline. If nothing else is there check the export settings - try CineForm if you used dnx previously (and vise versa). If the mov works fine, but the webm file doesn't, check the settings in shutter encoder. Make sure to use vp9. Hope that helps.

@ it does work but the problem still is there. I tried different versions and even thought a black background was there but can’t find a way to make sure there isn’t one. I just used a pre existing transition in the program on a new untitled and unchanged project and then exported QuickTime DvH with export alpha then ran it through shutter encoder vp9 with alpha and both versions and everytime I try something different it’s the same result. A hard cut to black before the transition plays. If only I could apply like a chroma key to my transitions in OBS as a filter like I can with all my other animated assets.

I think it might be part of an OBS update. Because I'm having the same issue both with DNxHR and GoProCineForm. Even old stingers are having issues now. Has anybody found a fix to this?

[@CrxzyYT]

@@joet409 have not found a fix, just used a free template and threw my logo on it. I imagine the best way is probably using something other than davinci, or make a 3D animation render in blender. I did that for my stream scenes.

Thanks great tutorial, do you recommend Shutter Encoder to be used in other formats? is it good to use on really big files like 3-4 gigs? thanks again

[@wickdigital]

Thank you for the compliment! If your goal is to upload a smaller file to the web with or without transparency, then webm format is great for that. If your final video needs to be in MP4, MOV etc, and you don't need it to be transparent, then to reduce the size lower the video bitrate in Shutter Encoder before converting.

@wickdigital I see I'll give it a try, thank you for the advice
