How to setup SPEEDRUN TIMER!! (Livesplit Tutorial)

I will show you how to setup a transparent timer , normal timer , splits , definitions for different coloured numbers and how to bring the timer into OBS.
I've had a bunch of people recently ask me about how to set up LiveSplit for Minecraft so I figured I'd make a comprehensive video tutorial to answer all of the frequently asked questions. This tutorial can be used for other speedruns not just minecraft but i used minecraft as a reference point for this tutorial.
I will show you how to setup a transparent timer , normal timer , splits , definitions for different coloured numbers and how to bring the timer into OBS.

Wait, do you speed run tutorials too? Best run through ive seen for anything with specifics. I guess all of us (runners) hate waiting for anything, including relevant info. I may have to show this as an example of how it should be done

Is there a way to see the timer while you are playing in game? or do you need a second monitor and have it there if you want to look at it during a run?

[@GDZerolink]

same!!!

[@DrMontrays]

unfullscreen your game. also I think theres an option to make it overlap just look through it

[@harshitsahu2382]

I think you can play the game in windowed mode and then you are able to see the livesplit and play game at the same time

[@abduksam]

I'm not sure why i was not subbed to you since 2020

thanks, this helped alot...but I need help with something, I wanna speedrun minecraft and I cant put the timer In my screen while minecraft is open...help plz? I dont wanna stream, just play

[@LiquidCandy]

Nothing can overlay a fullscreen-exclusive program, so you have to set it to borderless-windowed or windowed. And then put it over the top!! Hope this helps !! I recommend maybe getting a speedrun timer on your phone or tablet instead!

[@supermixer827]

remember that if u would accidentaly beat wr or something like this, video is not enough. u have to stream if u want to count ur speedruns
