So many folks loved the animated lower thirds plug-in but a recent OBS update broke this plug-in. I want to walk you through getting this awesome plug-in working again.
I will update this blog post when I do this for the Mac but as for now this is only for Windows.

[@princehenrysolin]

thank you so much! I am senior Pastor and I am doing a lot of the social media ministry so your instructional video on using lower thirds in OBS was very detailed. Thank you again!

[@AJaytheCEO]

Glad it was helpful!

[@RoomandBoardReviews]

I just want to say, as a mac user, thanks so much for putting "Windows Only" in the thumbnail. I made sure to leave it running for the ad revenue, and liked and subscribed as a thank you, haha.

[@AJaytheCEO]

You're welcome!

[@ThomkaVODs]

2:48 Just a short tip, if you do the unblock with the downloaded ZIP file you don't need to do it with the individual files after unzipping.

[@AJaytheCEO]

Thanks

[@WilliamCadiz]

Thanks! Confirmed LT1.6 works with OBS 30.1.0 on MacOS. No need to unblock file permissions but setup is otherwise similar

[@JGuill]

Dude! Thank you ! The security and the quotes was my problem and now it is working!!!!!

Did you upgrade to v28 of OBS? It's breaking plugins

[@lellotrek]

@@AJaytheCEO working for me thanks on version 28.0.1 just follow this suggestion on OBS forum: Change the browser source from Local file to url open the browser-source.html file in your default browser - Copy the URL, and paste it as the URL for the browser source in OBS. It should have the word "file:///" in front of the directory.

[@josephwambura1814]

@@lellotrek i can say this is the best answer sp far. Tried my best but i didn't work in obs 30. 1 untill i followed your advice. Instead of using local file, i used url. But i didn't add file:///. I just added the copied url and it worked. Thanks

[@thanosbikos]

Thank you for the instructions. I watched both the old and the new video. Unfortunately I had no luck. I moved the folder on several locations, I tried for over an hour but no luck. Oh well...

[@AJaytheCEO]

Where did you move the folder to?

[@thanosbikos]

@@AJaytheCEO Thank you for taking the time to get back to me. Meanwhile I found out what I was doing wrong, as I was sure it was an error on my part. I'll share it here because I suspect many others must have made the same mistake: So instead of following your instructions to the letter, at some point while locating the file, I didn't use the "copy as path" method but instead I clicked "local file" and browsed for it. There is a thread on BlackMagic forum that says it doesn't work like that after some update. So it is vital to link to the file exactly the way you do, with "copy as path". Of course you know that and you said it yourself. But somewhere I must have got impatient and did it the other way and broke it. So a heads up for other viewers to follow your instructions to the letter. Thanks again for your help!

[@Parkrone]

I did everything as you explained and it didn't work for me on windows 11. also I'm not seeing the unblock option so I just allowed all the perms on the main folders security options. very frustrated still. thanks for the attempt to help though.

If you don't have the unblock then you are fine

[@POrwig]

Good video. Is there a way for an external txt file to be inserted as the text so when I update the txt the lower third automatically updates? Example: My father is the senior pastor at my church and I run the soundroom, music, overhead slideshows ect; every Sunday he has a new message title, I would like to update the text without having to that inside of OBS.

Thank you for the video instructions. I have am having some issues where it has showed up once. After a restart it never came back. I have the boxes turning "Blue" indicating that its working ok, but i am seeing nothing on the screen. I did this on another installation and it worked fine. I retraced my steps, removed the plugin, exported from the working one and imported to the other one and still nothing. Any assistance would be appreciated, trying to set this up for my church.
