Now THIS is high quality content!

[@cindy-annequinn6146]

This is INSANELY good! Can’t wait for the next episode!

[@YodatheHobbit]

Ah! That static mask function is SOOOOO what I needed!

[@raidmastervr]

This is a gold mine for anyone attempting to venture into mixed reality. Wish I have found this sooner, I'd spare myself A LOT of trouble.

[@chrisdoesgaming331]

As someone getting into mixed reality myself, this was so useful! I may have to rethink my entire setup, thank you so much for this very detailed guide! :)

[@LoveSarahXo]

You absolute legend. I was having so much trouble getting my mixed reality to work, and now after following this tutorial it is working perfectly. Thank you so much for laying out such detailed and easy to follow instructions. You're a life saver! Love Love!

[@TougeVR]

Awesome! You're welcome

[@Exelgen]

Oh my god, i thought someone sent me here to watch a tutorial. And it's an actual top quality masterclass on the subject :O Love it, only on 1st episode and have learnt several new things. How is this free is beyond me, Thank You!

[@sincerelylyn]

Just want to say your video is fantastic and I use the despill LUT you provided daily. Thank you so much for this in-depth video! :D

[@ascarlon]

Awesome! I'm a new streamer and got into VR gaming ~ a month ago. I could manage to set up MR streams/videomaking so I definitly wanted to give it a go. You saved me many hours of frustration! Thank you so much, you rock! :)

[@easy-food-safety]

This is my first time to learn XR. I got interested in it just recently. Thank you for this informative video!

[@TougeVR]

That's great to hear. Happy to help :D

[@NikolaRanguelov]

I loved it - I’m at basic stage barely graduating from Kinect based virtual green screen to using an actual physical green screen ... knew a bunch of the things but learned a lot and I’m very excited to improve my setup - thank you so much for putting this together - I’ll be pointing anyone interested in getting started here first!!

[@TougeVR]

Thanks, glad it was helpful. :)

[@anotherjake4739]

Exceptionally useful guide. Got it all working in about 4 hours. Going to set this up at our college's STEAM fair for kids. I think they'll go nuts.

[@TougeVR]

Yo that’s awesome, have fun

[@MrBenedictHeyer]

What an underrated video! Amazing stuff!

[@aschneiter]

Just great. By far the best and most detailed video tutorial on the web. Thank you for your work.

[@CowEye]

Very informative video!

[@HeyFalconVR]

Mate, this was a fantastic watch! It answers so many of the questions I get asked regularly so, I will be saving your series of videos to forward to anyone asking how to Mixed Reality

[@evancassani985]

[@tbeezie4sheezie]

This is THE ABSOLUTE BEST and most in depth mixed reality tutorial that I've ever seen on the 'Tube! I learned alot from this, can't wait to try out some new tricks. Keep doing what you do bro, great work! This video most definitely deserves the title "Masterclass"...

[@TougeVR]

Thanks. More to come :)

[@CrowOfficialChannel]

This is a brilliant video. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and information with this stellar guide.

[@trippedinvr2217]

Thanks for the advice, you obviously put a lot of work into everything you do, I hope at some point viewers will watch my stuff and think the same thing

[@coffehbear3359]

I'm super excited to have found your channel, this combines many passions for me and I'm looking forward to putting this together! It only dawned on me while watching this tonight, strangely before you even said it explicitly here, the potential for movie-making. Revolutionary!

[@ANABURN]

Just great! Even I still learned some tricks! Thank you and looking forward to the next classes!

[@dubusaeyoo]

Ayyyyyyy you finally did it well done

[@TougeVR]

Bruh, this was some work. Hopefully I can make the next episodes shorter 😅

[@dubusaeyoo]

​@@TougeVR Looking forward to it! :)

[@Hypothic]

Wow! A Masterclass from the Master! Looking forward to watching this! Thanks for creating it!

[@Robo1]

Thanks for this video, this helps a lot, this is the best video I have seen on youtube about green screens.

[@ProperD]

Great stuff as always brother. Such valuable info presented so well dude 💯

[@nixliu7342]

Wonderful tutorial! Thank you so much.

[@andyma546]

Very professional tutorial, look forward to the tutorial on mobile SLR camera

[@XoRoseGold]

Dude!!! Thanks so much for this video. Your LUT made a night and day difference. Looking forward to the next video(s) :)

[@vresportsbrasil]

I was just watching episode 2 and then I came here to watch this basics to see if I was missing something when it comes to LIV, and buddy, I learned a lot of side features I wasn't using at all! I'm from VR Esports Brasil, and you can be sure this video is going to change the course of MR in my country! Thank you so much for your content! 👊🏼💥

[@TougeVR]

🤜🔥

[@winalpha1656]

this is really the best tutorial video ever seen before regarding the MR and quest! Even has some language barrier (as non-english speaking), still tried my best to learn from it! if there were origin subtitle, that would be awesome!

[@TougeVR]

Subtitles ... I'll see what I can do

[@sircarlton6647]

your content is way underrated -thank u for sharing your knowledge =)

[@carlymizzou]

WOW! thank you so much! I pieced my set up based on what I could find equipment wise and info scattered across the internet. Your video covered all of that AND all the stuff I looked at and said "well, maybe I'll understand that setting later" I usually skim videos because I find a large amount of "doesn't apply or not interested" but not this one! I'm currently using LIV iOS with my Quest 2, it auto green screens, but this has inspired me to get a better set up together. Now if you could create a filter to remove children and pets...

[@TougeVR]

Great to hear!

[@jessebliss1332]

Dude **** you, the reinvigoration helped XD me and the wife celebrated her 30th, glad I took a look back into it ;)

[@TougeVR]

Good to hear!

[@Christopher.C]

Thank you so much for this video! I'd gotten a handle on the technical side of Liv for doing mixed reality in Tilt Brush with the Quest, but I couldn't find any advice on camera placement for MR capture until I came across your video. I'm looking forward to trying this out with Phasmophobia when my 6800 arrives in a few days and now it'll look even better after watching this.

[@TougeVR]

Getting the camera placement right with a static camera is tricky, because you have to fix it in place long before you get in game, and adjustments are hard. The rule of thirds method does simplify this a lot. Phasmophobia is a tricky one in MR. Relying on a static angle might not produce a better result than just a headset view. Matching the game's dark lighting is also an issue, when you consider how brightly lit you are on a green screen. I have some tricks to solve that which I'll go through in a couple episodes time..

[@Totorus]

Great episode, thanks for sharing all that knowledge!!!... Greetings.

[@CarlosAustin]

I agree with Liv...this is well done production and tutorial.

[@OkDisplay]

Wow! That is extremely helpful. Thanks a lot.

[@lepatenteux592]

How did this not get a million views already??? Superb video! Explanations are really easy to follow and resulting oitput is incredible And please make a mask for the lighthouse! It is rrally bugging me!

[@TougeVR]

Thanks :) I do mask that lighthouse out when I'm actually making a video. You won't see it in any of my recent work 😅

[@ProgrammistMusic]

excellent video, the best Mixed Reality tutorial i have ever seen.

[@captainflatspot]

awesome video! to the point and professionally executed 👍

[@laubox]

This helped me a lot. looking forward to episode 2!

[@waters1801]

Keep up the good work dude, these videos are SOOO good!!

[@generaldiego]

awesome stuff! I only have old laptop, webcam, quest 1, and hopes and dreams but I'm down to learn

[@TougeVR]

If your laptop can run VR, it can probably handle mixed reality too!

[@generaldiego]

@@TougeVR yea not sure it can if it struggled running even coop and dead by daylight even on lowest haha

[@AtomBombBody]

This is awesome, thank you! Learned some new things to help with some refining as well!

[@ControlledPairsGaming]

Life saver

[@Magiobus]

Really Nice Video! Thanks for sharing all the tips and tricks :)

[@NotMasterGamer]

This is amazing! But I always wanderd if it is possible to have a moving camrea with a rift s or (what i use) a quest

[@TougeVR]

Stay tuned ;)

[@NotMasterGamer]

Actualy I think I found a way to do just that by using only a quest 2 and a kinect v2 and a pc of couse. I first taped my left controller to my kinect sensor then I used a modded sdk for the kinect that made a virtual green screen. then I open up obs and install a plugin that lets me set up a virtual cam (I already had this installed) after I set up a virtual cam I started up liv and chose my left controller as my tracker. After that I started the calibration process. Then I opened up another window of obs and selected liv output in the window or gaming capture. Then I just simply hit record. Unfortunately the kinect sdk is buggy and caused me to disappear a lot and the controller would lose tracking the the camrea holder went too far to the side of me. I still thought it was cool enough to share though.

[@TougeVR]

@@NotMasterGamer my method is a fair bit simpler than this. Tutorial for it is coming, it''s just a bit delayed as I've had a lot of trailer work to do recently.

[@NotMasterGamer]

@@TougeVR oh I cant wait to look forward to this thanks for letting me know.

[@scotchbox]

You know how with SpinSaber and similar mods you can "move the camera" by slowly spinning the playspace? I *wish* that was a plugin for SteamVR rather than Beat Saber; being able to do it in any game would be amazing!

[@TougeVR]

oo, I have some more on this soon ;)

[@liv]

Pop into Discord and ask about Rotatoexpress... :)

[@NotMasterGamer]

I did this and I was slightly dissy for more than 5 hours. I would not recommend it. Although the results were awesome

[@pixativr1367]

Awesome video, but i can't wait, let me ask, when you are recorded from the front, than behind you, there are'nt any green screen, are there? Then how do you do when you are recorded from the front, that the game is continuously running?

[@wilwesstudios]

Finally a decent tutorial! ❤️📸❤️📸❤️

[@the_hatterdad]

Ok ok 😲🤜🤛 this was proper done thank you so precise and so mentioning the small nuances and why....so may tutorial just tell what do this this this .....but no reasoning and therefore no ability of the watcher to troubleshoot issues because they know what time it is but no idea how the watch actually works thank you my friend appreciate you 🙏

[@TougeVR]

Thank you 😏🤜

@@TougeVR thank you I have a power house of gear software pc power and all and no gas thanks for the gas 😂

[@WudiPlays]

Holy smoke how are you allowed to only have 3k subs?!?!? The production quality of your videos is wow, just wow...

[@TougeVR]

It's probably my upload interval 😅. Quality takes time. But lately I've been doing a lot of work on trailers so I've been uploading even less.

[@WudiPlays]

@@TougeVR I just started VR streaming not long ago and was looking for inspiration. Stumbled upon HeyFalcon's channel before hitting up yours. Was very impressed by the quality of his content. Then was absolutely floored and mind blown by yours. I hope you keep up pumping out those contents because I will be the first in line to watch them.

[@akaneharumivr671]

wow this is outstanding!

[@Skarredghost]

Really useful, amazing job!!

[@Valacar]

I will eventually figure this all out. Did a test run, and watched the recorded video, everything looked and sounded great, unfortunately I was halfway off screen. readjust and recorded 30 mins of game play to cut up and post. No audio that take. I think it took me longer to set up everything than I actually played. lol

[@TougeVR]

Keep at it, eventually it will be easy and fast.

[@aravindnc]

[@mikegc3816]

Hi David, I have a GoPro 8 but can find no way of connecting it to the PC, where the PC recognises it. Your gopro had hdmi but the 8 only seems to have USB C - thanks mike

[@BoAudi]

Thanks for the excellent guide David! Q: How does CPU encoding provide higher quality over NVENC for recording?

[@TougeVR]

In general, x264 is less compressed than NVENC so the quality is higher. So if it's quality you're after, x264 is more favourable. The difference is especially noticeable when there's a lot of fast moving details in games like Beat Saber. The reason you wouldn't use x264 for streaming is that it's usually too CPU intensive in that scenario and performance will suffer. Depending on your CPU you may find x264 too heavy for recording also, in which case you could offload this to your GPU with NVENC.

[@BoAudi]

@@TougeVR We've been using NVENC for recording but haven't been able to quite find that quality sweet spot... I'll give CPU encoding a shot, thanks for the feedback!

[@knilcross]

Wow and you are teaching us for free

[@BryceandSamReviews]

I have a question, If I wanna use a camera that uses USB to connect to my computer (like the low budget ones) how would I plug it into a capture card into the computer if the capture card uses an HDMI. So now I got a webcam that cant plug into the card and record the video off of my oculus

[@TougeVR]

USB webcams should be detected just fine by LIV. No need for a capture card in this case.

[@BryceandSamReviews]

@@TougeVRIve never used Liv that might be my problem...Thank u

[@ASchneider]

Hello Touge! Sorry to ask: do you have, by any chance, your despill LUT as .cube format? This would help me a lot :) Thanks and congratulations for your videos!

[@TougeVR]

Hello! Unfortunately I don't have this one as a cube. Side note - despill is actually built into LIV now! So this LUT is now redundant. :)

[@ASchneider]

@@TougeVR got it! Thanks a lot! I was wondering if this would help on another app, like CapCut, but it only imports cube files... Have a great day!

[@piaescobar3711]

Hi everyone! thanks TougeVR for the masterclass, because IT IS a masterclass. I'm trying to stream mixed reality playing beat saber, but i have some troubles. After setting up everything i open OBS/Twitch studio and i see that everything is perfect, but for those who are watching in twitch, the stream is very, VERY, VERY lag, unwatchable. OBS showed me that a lot of frames were lost/dropped due to the internet. When i made a speed test of my internet (not WIFI) said that i have 900 mbs/s for downloading and 700 mbs/s for uploading, however when i start steamVR, LIV and beat saber my downloading and uploading speed drops to 10 mbs/s and 0,2 mbs/s. Someone told me to downgrade the resolution of beat saber on steam VR, but theres no change. I'm conected to internet using a cable (not WIFI) I'm conected to oculus by a cable too.

[@moncimoov]

i learn new thing... LUT didnt know that 👍 thx man

[@TougeVR]

Using a LUT to despill is a bit of a crude method, but in the absence of any other despill method it works great.

[@the.virtual.samurai]

Having a lot of issues with the Go Pro Hero 5 you recogmended. The device is not staying charged when plugged into HDMI out and the output source keeps changing sizes on me.

[@TougeVR]

Try removing the battery and running off a good USBC charger. Hop into Discord and we can dig a little deeper if you like.

[@nellyof1033]

Hello this is an excellent and well explained video thank you very much , just I few question if you could answear to me will be perfect and I will be very greatfull. At the step of the Capture , when I select the game , I cant find my games that I already purchase in my quest account (as beat saber) , how can I do that?

[@TougeVR]

They need to be games purchased on the Steam store, running through SteamVR. Quest native or Rift games won't work.

[@nellyof1033]

oh! well thank you for your reply@@TougeVR

[@johnysvkcoldjunction6902]

Okay i have tried this so many times but ending up with same result that i can´t pick any game in auto mode .. it´s just blank, do i need to have oculus games added somewhere in steam? or am i missing something?

[@TougeVR]

LIV is currently only supported in SteamVR, so it requires the SteamVR version of the game.

[@johnysvkcoldjunction6902]

@@TougeVR oh .. dammit ! i look into it, thank you for answer !

[@StarBellySneetch]

So is this jsut to allow a 3rd person view or is there a way to mix external camera footage within VR simultaneously? Main application in mind would be to use VR in a flight simulator but be able to see real life tactile controls at the same time. Is that even possible?

[@TougeVR]

This is more about video production than anything else. The term "mixed reality" is getting thrown around for a lot of different things these days. For mixing the real world into your VR headset, something like the Varjo XR3 headset or even the Quest 2 could make this possible, but I haven't seen a good implementation of that yet. The Varjo is definitely closest. I think that's something we'll see in the near future though.

[@JonathanTibi]

I really like this tutorial but i have some problem with one thing. Maybe you can help me to figure it out.. When i finish to calibrate, the remotes (in LIV) Doesn't fit in the place they should to be (X,Y,Z). I did what the tutorial said, but its still dosent work for me. Ill really appreciate it if you could help me

[@TougeVR]

Usually just adjusting the position will solve it, but sometimes you may also need to tweak the FOV and rotation, depending on how accurate the initial calibration was.

[@AlexGonzalezVR]

I'm watching the masterclass for the 3rd time, I am learning so much! One question, in minute 10:57 you set the LIV camera to 1920x1200, instead of 1920x1080 like in OBS. Is that correct? Thanks so much, can't wait for part 2

[@TougeVR]

oh yeah, that was a mistake during recording XD

[@joaoblumel]

Thanks so very much!!! The internet needed this so badly!!! Are you gonna do a no-green screen tutorial as well?

[@TougeVR]

I may do that at some point, but this series is mainly focused on high quality MR capture, which isn't really possible without a green screen at the moment.

[@joaoblumel]

@@TougeVR roger that. It makes complete sense. Thanks man! Great job!

[@BoAudi]

Does rotating the playspace with OVR Advance Settings affect LIV calibration? Would I need to recalibrate LIV after rotating the playspace?

[@TougeVR]

Nope, doesn't affect calibration.

[@TheAydenRobert]

I'm gonna be honest, I've watched this about 10 times already. I need the next episodes!!! Also, how did you get a moving shot with the quest? Like srsly...

[@TougeVR]

Working hard on this!

[@cylotron]

I'm having the issue in which OBS displays the game separately from myself within the LIV app. I can't get it display me "In Game" like it's showing for you.

[@pinkybeats3617]

not sure if youll see this as this was posted almost a year ago but i am having issues with OVR - 1 being 'not found HMD so it wont launch at all 2 and the main one being that when i rotate it to get the gameplay on LIV correct it also moves the view inside my headset so while the gameplay is correct angle in LIV it is not on my headset but if i rotate it back or use the room setting function in game the angle goes back to how it was in the first place, im really struggling with this and its making my content look awful :( how do i get the gameplay to rotate in LIV and ONLY LIV? thanks!

[@darthraynar1750]

Will this also work with the Rift S

[@TougeVR]

Sure will

[@SlimShotGaming]

Does it necessarily have to be Rosco Chroma key green paint or can you use any kind of brand?

[@TougeVR]

There’s other brands of video paint out there, Rosco is just one example.

this is probably very random, what mod do you use to disable debris but keep cut particles visible id like it to show the bits of dust when slicing a block but not the whole block being slit in two ive tried tweak55 and beat saberplus but they both hide the debris and the particles

[@TougeVR]

I don’t actually use any mods like that. The Beat Saber shots in this video are from 2020, so it might look different to how it is now.

[@BoAudi]

We have a GoPro 7 and having issues with heat and it keeps switching camera angles by itself during filming, Do you have this issue with the GoPro 5?

[@TougeVR]

I used a GoPro 7 for a while. The key to stop overheating is to remove the battery. Not sure about it switching angles, I just set mine to Linear once and it stayed there.

[@videoorgy]

So, the camera built into my laptop is not realistic? Because that's what I've been trying and I'm not getting very far. Not sure if that's why, but once I go to add a chroma filter in OBS, I pretty much give up because I no longer understand what's going on, nothing's working, etc.

[@TougeVR]

As long as your laptop can handle VR, I think LIV should be OK. The laptop camera should be OK too. It sounds as though you're trying to add this camera to OBS, which isn't what you need to do. LIV needs to use this camera. Close OBS for now, and just run through the steps of getting LIV going. Once you've got everything running in LIV, then try opening OBS and adding the game capture source for LIV.

[@videoorgy]

@@TougeVR Okay, that's good to know. I started with LIV, then went to the Oculus Mixed Reality Capture tool because the instructions seems a bit more user-friendly, now I'm back on LIV because I got stuck at the chroma filter in OBS, though I'm not even sure if I screwed up before then. Like I could see a distorted image of my game in OBS, but beyond seeing myself on the laptop camera, never got the mixed reality effect. Hopefully I can figure it out between OBS and one of these two programs. Thanks for taking the time to reply. I appreciate that.
