How to record speedpainting videos without zooming/painning in photoshop using OBS [tutorial]

[@aesthetiquely870]

if you don't have a second monitor, select Window Capture instead of Display Captute and choose the Photoshop window that you'll be recording. even if you place it somewhere not visible on your screen like below your original window workspace, OBS will still record it and it won't show anything else

[@chrisdiorchannel7514]

it doesnt work for me it still needed to appear in screen to record the progress help

[@KarelChytilArt]

@@Telekho sure it works. You need to select the right Window and switch to your working Window. Sure that Window you are recording you Cant minimize. But its no problem with that

[@katm8128]

Thanks!

[@NivexGameplays]

I tried it, doesn't work... the second I minimize it becomes static and only when I get back to it on my screen it appears on recording updating it, and placing it outside of my monitor makes it black on the recording. I use photoshop CS5 is this only for later photoshop versions?

[@Horrorvaultyoutube]

If i minimize the window my drawings dont appear on the 2nd window

[@MokiHunter]

This solution is so simple that I'm sitting here mindblown that I never thought about it before??? God this'll make things so much easier from now on, thank you so much for posting this!!

Oh my goodness, this actually works in CSP too! Thank You so much, I've been looking for this solution for a while now :D

[@moonkute93]

At first , I didnt work for me , it just only showed one Photoshop panels while I have two in Window Choosing to record , but after I updated the OBS , Window Capture can let me choose one of the .PDS that I want to record , to make timelapse , thank you so much for the video , this helped me alots

[@queeniegreengrass3513]

Can I recommend you watch philosophy tubes videos? They're enlightening.

[@Ferodra]

I'm already doing this for quite a while, but was looking for a solution to the fact that the second window only updates whenever an action was completed. You'll never see actual brush strokes being made and that bothers me a lot, tbh. Does anyone have a solution for that?

[@MiguelIglesiasART]

Im afraid that there is no tech solution to that. What i do myself is to make shorter brush strokes instead, so in the recording you get a closer feel to a smooth use of strokes. You dont see the difference, take a look at some of my speedpainting videos to check on it.

When I go to "arrange" and add new window and begin working on the other opened file, the reference/second window disappears to my desktop. So, it doesn't stay in the Photoshop workspace-how can I keep it from disappearing?

was really helpful, thks for making this video

[@daviesbydesign]

I do have a quuestion, at around 1:50 you mention recording a specific area of the screen if you only have one screen to play with. How do I make that section the cropped final result? I did a recording and it has recorded that section i wanted (by adding a crop filter) and the rest is black screen around it. Can i have a result where it actually crops it rather than maintaining the original size minus area outside the desired window?

[@MiguelIglesiasART]

Hi Paul, I am not sure if I get exactly what you mean... If I understood correctly, I believe you can not crop it as you are asking (at least i dont know how). I think OBS will only record the aspect ratio of you whole monitor. The only thing you can do is to arrange the area on your monitor display that OBS will record. You can do that by dragging with the cursor the red area and pushing ctrl left button at the same time in your keyboard. You can center it as if it would be in the center of the monitor, so even if you have black area around it, the result is the same as I do my self with a second monitor, since OBS will record under the aspect ratio of your display monitor. Hope this helps :P

[@Nickington2]

I have a specific problem, as always, I'm trying to do the same thing but the strokes on my second tab don't register until i take my pen off the screen when Im drawing is there any way I can fix this or is the problem personally with just my pc...

[@torresmo_art]

Thank you so much!

[@yourlocalalien3790]

mine doesn't update in real time, only after I've finished the brushstroke. I have PS CC by the way

@miguelIglesiasArt do you know a way how to record your screen and be able to record one layer but not another so that you only record the finishing / clean work layer and not the sketchy line art layer underneath?

[@MiguelIglesiasART]

Sorry no idea :/

[@DysterSynvillaArt]

A really big thanks to you!

[@merekastory6659]

so you have two monitors for your pc?? thats why it doesnt work on my laptop?

[@dynamicsketch]

How do you get the new window to mirror the exact brush strokes? When I try nothing appears until after a stroke is completed, and the entire stroke appears instantaneously.

[@MiguelIglesiasART]

As far as i know, that is the way it goes. Havent find a way around that. But i found that is not a big issue, you just need to break the brush stroke more, and when speeding up the video recording you will barely notice a big difference. That is at least how i deal with it.

[@dynamicsketch]

@@MiguelIglesiasART I guess it was the time lapse then. From the looks of it I had thought you were pulling it off. Thanks.

[@drawspaceX]

I have a slight issue here. Ive only got one screen, and the second window cant be fullscreened on the background while I have my main photoshop window open. It just doesnt let me switch to my main window. Is there a way to send it to the background but still visible?

[@drawspaceX]

As in clicking or alt tabbing to my main photoshop window doesnt actually show me the main window but the copy, so I cant actually work on it

[@TsunaXZ]

I only have a small 12 inch Lenovo ideapad tablet/laptop. I can't sacrifice the space just to record :(

[@NosebleeddeGroselha]

Try to make it as big as you can comfortably, record only the canvas and then scale it up a little bit in your editing software. You will loose a little bit of quality, but it will help a bit until you can afford a monitor. If you get a second monitor, then you can make it as big as you want in the second screen and keep working in your main screen. Also, there are fairly cheap monitors in e-bay, facebook marketplace and craigslist, if you really want to invest in doing speedpaintings now. Maybe there is also a software that records only the canvas, but I didn't found out yet.

[@GabyT]

THANK YOU SOO MUCH BRO

[@alexpozo9196]

What program did you use to record?

[@departedpro]

I rotate my canvas a lot and it shows on the other screen too :S When I speed the video up viewers will get dizzy

Great! now how do I crop my video to only show the artboard? I want to create an Instagram reel. My artboard size is 1080*1920 px (reel dimesnions). I would love to record/crop only this so that the reel shows as full screen on IG reels. Hope you see this and answer

[@MiguelIglesiasART]

You just need to customize the dimensions of the Display capture "source" you will use in OBS ;)

[@g.templorini]

Hi, do I have to have a real second monitor or is it a display setting? because on obs the second monitor does not appear after opening the second window on Photoshop

[@MiguelIglesiasART]

Hello there. Let see if I understood correctly... You have a second monitor and you have drag the duplicate photoshop window to it. If the duplicate window is not showing on OBS it is probably because you havent selected the second monitor as display for OBS. To fix that what you need to do is to select that monitor as display on OBS as I show on the video ;) Hope this helps ;)

[@g.templorini]

@@MiguelIglesiasART thank you for the answer. Anyway I don't have a second monitor 😂 In summary, I wanted to ask you if I could use this technique whitout a second monitor,

[@MiguelIglesiasART]

@@g.templorini Oh ok my bad. Yes you can, but then you would have to split screen space from your main monitor to accommodate the second window and select that area to record with OBS. I show how to do that too on the video ;)

Hey, Miguel! Thank you for this! Also, I've been a fan for quite a while, so thank you for sharing your awesome work! I've been getting into recording some of my work, too, and I'd like to ask you if you've ever played around with the fps for your recording and editing. In what fps do you do your recording and editing? Especially for timelapsing, I've been wondering if it's that different to record and edit in 30 or 60 fps. Do you have thoughts on that?

[@MiguelIglesiasART]

Hi! I dont think it makes a big difference when it comes to time lapse painting videos but I do record on 60fps nevertheless. Cheers

[@davidffpinto]

I see. I have been recording in 60fps as well and this week I had decided to try out recording a little bit in 30fps to try to check if I see any significant difference both in smoothness and in quickness and weight on the machine while editing and rendering. I haven't gotten around to test it properly, tho, and I wanted to know the thoughts of someone with more experience on it, like yourself. Thank you for taking the time to reply, ​@@MiguelIglesiasART!
