Linux version of OBS doesn't come with Text (GDI +) and instead has Text (FreeType 2) because GDI is a Microsoft API.

[@LitjFoxn]

thank you for another great video, Michael. One question: is it possible to have text pull from a file and have two different fonts? Lets say I want the first 3 characters to be one font,, and the rest another font. Example: #34 Szurowski, where I want the numbers to be one font and the name to be another font. Do I have to make two text inputs, or is it somehow possible to do it from one?

[@FabioChava]

It is posible to make a text scroll similar to 7:45 minute of your video but reading from a SQL data base? Not from a file.

[@MichaelFeyrerJr]

I have no doubt a plugin could be created to do it.

[@danabell2315]

Hi Michael Thanks for the info. I'm live streaming and wanted to know if there is a way to add text without being seen by the viewers?

[@haraldbrukx9543]

Hi, thanks for your great video’s. I have a question for you. How do you make your name in the left corner come in and fade out in OBS? Can you please help me with that. I’m looking forward for your answer!! Thanks!!! Greetings from the Netherlands!! 😉👍

[@WimPrest]

This one proved to be incredibly useful!!! Read from file + Transform Bounding Boxes means that I can create a distributable for people in my company who can simply change their name and position in a couple of files and they can start using OBS! They don't need to do ANYTHING OBS related except hit the Go button.

[@MichaelFeyrerJr]

Hello I'm new to obs and was starting to use it to live stream church services. Just wondering when you add text, does it appear on the recording or the live stream or where will I see it. At this point I only see it on the obs window on my laptop and no where else. I would like others to be able to see it on the live stream, great tutorial by the way

[@ParagGadhia]

Hi, this was great..is there a way to have captions created in obs.

[@MichaelFeyrerJr]

There are a couple ways. KZbin actually has one natively I believe as well.

[@ParagGadhia]

@@MichaelFeyrerJr Please do share if it can be done in OBS

[@onnowesterman6286]

Nice for a Ticker while there are also ticker plugins this one is just build into OBS.

[@JoeDark76]

quick question Mike, I have a 2nd PC with OBS and a 2nd Monitor, I would like to use the text tool on the 2nd monitor to scroll up like a teleprompter. How do I do that?

[@Xani13]

I use OBS to make my videos but I pre-record them in OBS before uploading them. How can I put text in those videos to show up only at certain points during the video?

[@weyerscaveunitedmethodistc6563]

Michael, thanks for the great video. Is there a way to bold one word in the text?

[@MichaelFeyrerJr]

Yes

[@JavierRuizGarcia]

The reason the color wasn't changing at 3:42 is because the Lightness slider in the right side was set all the way down to black. What if we want a long text to scroll but we don't want to to be shrunk? You can see in your example the text shrinks down so everything fits if you weren't scrolling.

[@dvilrever]

I had a moment of doubt too when i saw the lightness slider If you press alt while you change the size of your box you will crop it and hide some part of the text, and as the text scroll you can read the hiden parts. Or as he had showed in the video you can add some space at the end (or beginning) of your text to make some space before the loop

[@HeliShed]

Hello buddy - you probably sorted it by now, but in case you haven't all you need to do is when you Edit the Transform just select the different option in bounding box type and you will see that you can select some options that will not shrink the text. Good luck!

[@nianilesproduction]

Hey good morning I would like to know do you know when obs version 27 will be out. The full version.

[@DavidAmrod]

Is it possible to skip over an area while upward scrolling? So scroll, scroll, scroll, skip space, continue scroll, scroll, scroll?

[@orehldmanguz7013]

Nice! Now I know how to...

[@johnehogan]

Great tutorial on how to setup the lower thirds and tweak it a bit. I already did my first couple (took me 20 minutes after watching your video here).. kudos...

They don’t tell me. :-) but it’s on rc 4 now so I’m guessing very soon.

[@mdominic]

I don't have background or transform. Did they get rid of these features?

[@steelixian1705]

Hi, Thank you for this! Is it possible to make it so a message only appears every so often? Maybe after 5 scrolling text cycles it wont continue for another 5 minutes?

[@aciertojhay0126]

Why I do not have an option for background text? It makes me unable to use that tool. I'm using MacBook pro. Thanks for your help.

Hi, is there a way or how i could apply text transition everytime sourcetext is updated? TiA

[@jahmusicmansionwhererealre3920]

Thank you for this, it's my second video of yours and I've subbed. What 'd like to know is if there's a plugin to change the direction of the text? Instead of having it flat against screen in an east/west direction...can it be changed to where the first letter of the text seems to pointing towards you and the remaining lets trailing in the back almost like a train?

[@tsubject1316]

I propose that we, as a species, close out of a video anytime that a creator brings up analytics about followers to watchers and all that. People know to follow. It sucks that they do not, but they know that they can.

[@MichaelFeyrerJr]

You know this from your life experience. Do you know what everyone else’s life experiences are?

[@tsubject1316]

@@MichaelFeyrerJr My analytics show me.

[@raguellagrande7344]

@@MichaelFeyrerJr I think jsubject's criticism is far too harsh - but I in turn propose that you change the verbiage. "Am I doing something wrong" leaves something to be desired. I suggest instead that you pose the question as a statement, "You've probably watched 4 or 5 of my videos and maybe given a like, so why not subscribe! If you use OBS regularly you won't want to miss out and only discover that unique feature you want 5 months later, do you?" something like that shows that you offer quality and informative content and have confidence not just in your product but the value your information has to streamers and youtubers. It is trending for people to show "80% aren't subbed", and I don't know if that is suggested by youtube directly or just a trend people are getting in on - but it doesn't speak to the viewer. They're not going to feel bad "not" subbing, so in a way this kind of clip comes off as begging instead of demonstrating value like it is intended.

[@DavidAmrod]

Hello. I was wondering how one can have text scroll up to a picture, then go above the picture and continue scrolling, without scrolling over the picture... so it would be like 2 scrolls, one spaced at the bottom, and one spaced above the picture that has the scrolling text handed off to it?

[@Piyushshort2234]

Is there a way that a text layer (or layers) can be rigged to be a number that counts up or down by one at the press of a hotkey?

[@MichaelFeyrerJr]

You could make an animated overlay countdown that can be activated with a hot key.

[@aaronsugar7228]

@@MichaelFeyrerJr would that work for counting up by one? I’m trying to make a custom scoreboard that can be controlled by the streamdeck.

[@the.i.p.address]

Is the background option available for the mac?

[@velanche]

Thanks for this! I am slowly working through learning what I need in OBS, adding a few new things after each livestream. I need to add the songs I'm playing in real-time and because I'm DJing from my iPad, I don't get to use a "now playing" plugin like I believe you can if I'm using the DJ software on my computer instead. This video is my intro to the text effects and this will indeed do the job, as I have to type out my playlist during the show. No plugins need; I like! But while I'm talking plugins, what do you recommend as a plugin to share chat comments on screen when using Twitch? I'm on MacOS. Again, really appreciate the good info!

I wish there were some filter effects plugins to apply to text like you can do for After Effects. I have a standard template for tutorial vidoes, I want the the title to to appear on the screen like someone is writing it on a piece of paper. I have a video of a book opening to a blank page of paper, but I don't want to make a new video each time I want to change the title. I just wish there were more plugins for OBS.
