Animated Lower Thirds For OBS | This Tool Is More Powerful Than You Think

[@v-em]

I spent an hour or 2 this morning...and finally got the script working... One bizarre "feature" is that the script doesn't work if the info field is blank... that caused me a load of problems

[@ScottFichter]

Thank you. This one is getting pinned.

[@insanelee13]

One way around this if you dont want anything in the info field is just to type a space into that field. The LT then does become active and shows the blue box.

[@v-em]

@@insanelee13 I did try that. Didn't work for me. But I did have to also try some other tricks and the upgrade to V1.6 to get this working 100%

Thanks Scott - love the way that not only are you building a 'community' feel amongst those of us trying to use OBS, but also you're willing to make fun of your own mistakes.

HA! I made a bunch on this one. Yes, most would just erase the mistakes. I celebrate them. HA! Great comment Stuart. You made me laugh this morning.

[@JillRhoads]

Yeah, I have to say the same thing. It's nice to find someone who is trying to work all this stuff out as well.

[@braknower]

The Padlock on the Memory Timer options is to lock the active time. This means the time to remain active is unlimited so it stays on till you toggle it off. Thanks a lot Scott, You are an inspiration

Rider, thank you very much for the help on understanding the memory slots. Also, our talk on Discord was terrific. It highlighted the importance of getting more involved with SLOBS and using it in conjunction with OBS. Videos are coming soon. Thanks again brother. I hope the shoutout brings more views to your channel.

Thanks Scott !! I am just getting into OBS and had a few more things to display than the 4 slots. Then I find your video and my simple dream is fulfilled. Great Job!!!

[@Richard_Ortiz]

Thank you, Scott. Another great, informative video from you. It's nice to see that we can actually have 40 lower 3rds, instead of just 4. On a side note, you normally must fill both lines for the lower 3rd to work. A trick I found to have just a single line lower 3rd is to just put an empty space in one of the lines. ;)

[@ScottFichter]

Excellent thanks Richard.

[@v-em]

EDIT: As to why I would need that, I am using it during a church livestream to put up the song title and CCLI number. Only needs to come up once at the beginning of the song. Before I had to set a REALLY long inactive time to make up sure it didn’t come back up. This should work much better.

[@btechstuff]

very clear and useful tutorial, Scott.

[@ScottFichter]

Glad it was helpful!

[@emiel1976ep]

That toggle to turn it off is great. Sometimes you just want to show it one time for a surten amount of time and after that, you want it to stay away. That lock in that one I didn't try. The lock in the top one, keeps your lower 3rd visible all the time. It keeps it constantly there. That you could ad many and let them cycle is new for me. Thanks for the info. Only thing I now want to know is if it is possible to edit them, so you can make your own design and get more options than 3 versions.

[@ScottFichter]

My answer is probably because the entire thing is powered by CSS. We must reach out to the developer and ask him if this kind of capability is on the horizon.

[@BlindViews]

I've had this up and running for a while. Yesterday it stopped working. The main button is on. Whenever I activate one of the thirds, it's red and does nothing. Any ideas or has anyone else had this happen? Was is due to an update maybe? Any help would be great.

[@ScottFichter]

Did you update OBS to 27.2? If yes, this probably caused the problem.

[@BlindViews]

@@ScottFichter I did. Thanks for responding.

[@stanislawnikolajew3474]

@@ScottFichter thank you. It worked.

[@AlexPortillo3]

Hey Scott! Thanks again for the second video on lower thirds. So what I find is that when you switch to a different scene in OBS and the lower thirds isnt turned off and you go back to the scene where you do have your lower thirds scene, it will activate it back up again and display it in the scene. So I always switch the lower thirds off once that lower third is used. That’s why I think they put that toggle button on there.

[@ScottFichter]

EXCELLENT! Thank you for this...

[@ericlovell2847]

Thanks for the LT plug in videos. Trying to learn how to use this now. The one question I have is, do you have to use a logo? I'm using this with my church & want to flash the Pastor's message on the screen.

[@ScottFichter]

Hey Eric, no but you must make a change to one of the parameters. Open up one of the lower third boxes (click plus sign in upper right) look for the paint brush icon. Switch this from "1" to "2". Heads up if you want to add a logo down the road, switch it back to 1 and then CLICK the picture icon.

Good job Scott, I did the above but it doesn't display in my obs live, what could be the problem? Thanks

[@insanelee13]

Hi Scott, just a quick note on the padlock for the individual transition times. I've found that the padlock overrides the transition to the next memory slot and keeps the current LT that's active up on screen until the padlock is turned off.

[@ScottFichter]

Thank you Insane. I appreciate your comment.

[@DamilolaElliott]

Hello. I've been trying to get this sorted for hours and no resolution yet. The lower third box still has the red ring around it. As a matter of fact, I don't even have any lower third appearing on the screen. I'm on OBS 27.1.3 and macOS Big Sur. I need urgent help please. Thanks.

[@justognorth9313]

I apologize if this has already been shared but I'm using OBS RC2 27.0.0 on my M1 Mac mini and when using the custom time settings and set the active state to "Lock" , this will lock all memory slots in the active state. If you have the "Lock" enabled and the switch was off, once you enable the switch the first animation will play through and then lock into the active state and any other memory slot will be locked in the active state as well if you click on them. I hope that helps if no one else has mentioned it yet. North

Thanks man.

[@justognorth9313]

No worries, thank “you” for all the work you do! Just an old nerd enjoying learning new stuff. 👍

[@Richard24able]

Please how do I add more lower third

[@ScottFichter]

Search lower third at my channel there are three vids about it.

[@Anihe]

I love the toggle to turn the switch off after a memoryslot is displayed! We have a podcast with guests, and I want to toggle the memoryslots when I want to (for example at the introduction of hosts and guests), and not based on a timer. And when I first started using this plugin, the loaded memoryslot suddenly appeared again when the timer ran out. That was kinda annoying when the wrong person was on cam. I solved this by using a multiswitch with hotkeys and delays on a streamdeck with the previous version. But now I only have to set the hotkey for the memoryslot. Love this feature! :)

[@ScottFichter]

I would love to see a video demonstrating this.... It's hard for me to visualize how it functions. It sounds incredible.

@@ScottFichter how long does it usually take you to edit your KZbin videos? And do you have tips to speed it up?

[@cmattjones1]

Thanks for the update Scott. Are you/is anyone aware of a way to have the 10 slots preloaded, then when presenting turn on the lower third to show the first slot, turn it off and it preload the next slot so when I turn it back on slot 2 is displayed and so on?

[@Anihe]

You can use hotkeys for this. I use a streamdeck to switch on and choose the slot I want, but you can use it with just hotkeys as well. And it's more easy not that you have toggles to auto-switch on/off when you load the slot :)

[@ScottFichter]

To be clear Vegard. You can control visibility for every memory slot with a hotkey? That I was not aware of.

[@Anihe]

@@ScottFichter Yes you can :) Not sure I would be using this if it wasn't for the hotkeys. Load the Lua-script provided in the lower thirds folder, and you can set hotkeys for the 4 switches, and all 40 memoryslots :)

Are you referring to the lightning bolt icon "Autotrigger"? Um...yes if Autotrigger is on and you click any one of the memory slots the one you click will be shown. The problem arises if you have many. There's no preview. It really makes Autotrigger fairly useless in my book.

Do you have any suggestion for OBS to keep the sizes of the single windows when you quit and restart the program?

Hey Tormy, well... I've tried to recreate the issue on my end and I can't. The only suggestion I have is to #1 click the plus sign for main settings #2 Click "Show More" #3 Click system #4 Click export #5 save this data to a text file. When you open OBS go back in there and click "Import" find the text file ---> BOOM that should get back to all the original settings.

The trigger or lightning bolt is auto turn off. Some how you can trigger each of the lower thirds when one goes off the other will come on and so on. I think to make this work each lower third must be active with their own memory slots.

[@redolentthought7085]

The lock icon keeps that Lower Third (1/2/3/4) up until you hit a key to turn it off. It overrides *everything*. That Lower Third doesn't go away until you click it away. It doesn't really look as good, but if you want, you can click on any of the saved slots while that Lower Third # is displayed and it will immediately change to that new slot. It won't cycle them. I guess that's useful to someone (but doesn't look as "snazzy" as just letting the animation run)

hi there! this youtube video helped me a lot! Now if I may ask. How can you reset those memory slots ?

[@ScottFichter]

Are you looking to delete them all or just one or two. Below is how you delete them one by one kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqGtmGWAe8t9jpo

[@BBFaith-Channel]

ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION SCOTT P - WHY THE MERORY SLOT IS NOT DELETING AS YOU EXPECT WHEN YOU CLICK AND IT FLASHES Nice Video Scott. Mu understanding is that the reason why the memory slot does not delete when you click and hold on it for a few seconds and it flashes is because that is how you save to the memory slot and not delete. Once you have adjusted all your settings as you desire and you click on any memory slot and hold it for a few seconds, It will flash whilst holding on to the click, after you release it, you then need to click on the same slot again before it register the save in that slot. In summary, clicking on a memory slot and holding down till it flashes is for saving into that memory slot - not for deleting the content. I hope this helps Cheers

[@ScottFichter]

Did you update OBS to 27.2? This update is causing problems with the software.

[@dwaynesHACKS8534]

followed your previous lower third installation video step by step and it wont dock,is there a fix for this

[@ScottFichter]

Hey Dwayne... what computer you using.

[@dudscortez6403]

This is great! Now we can simply use the lower thirds option to animate texts instead of making animated texts in After effects. My only question is, How to post a lengthy text/phrase? Because I tried it earlier, and it only shows the first line. I tried posting a scripture and instead of creating more lines downward, It just became one long line stretching out of the frame.

[@ScottFichter]

What's up Duds. That's a damn good question. I imagine that the CSS that controls the look and feel would need to be modified so that the text does not get cut off. I'll have to look into it.

[@JaymzW]

Ok do I feel a little stupid, thanks for the problem solving! I had no idea regarding the “inactive scenarios” and thought I solved my problems, they just started after I watched your update on the lower thirds! I now have a greater understanding about the lower thirds! Thanks again!

[@ScottFichter]

Glad I could help ICHINETHERS. Stay strong.

[@jiyaa_d1767]

Pls help... why lower third in my obs can't display text & logo. Thanks

[@ScottFichter]

Jiyaa, I just made another video about how to use the Move Transition plugin. This may be the best alternative for you. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHipknquhpp_js0

Hi Scott, Thanks for wonderful Videos. CAN YOU tell me how to activate a lower third on a particular time. I mean lets say I want to see it 1 min after I start recording.

[@ScottFichter]

There's no way to tell the tool to show the lower third at a specific time. You can activate it with a hotkey thought. You can also start it with a count down.

[@madhavreddy9]

@@ScottFichter Thanks for reply.. I shall go with hotkey then

[@FOODPRINTSTV]

this is work for macbook? thanks

[@ScottFichter]

I don't think so no.

[@mlmhakan]

Hello and thanks for the video, am i missing something or why would i want lower third go in and out every 2 seconds?

[@ScottFichter]

Hello Håkan thanks for commenting. I did not intend for you to assume that a lower third should be two seconds. I only instructed the program to do this so you did not have to wait. Ha! I could have set the times for say five seconds but that would bore you to death. Best wishes.

[@ElectricSP44]

I would love to be able to activate automatically a different lower third on each source. I am setting up intro for Interview segments / music performance etc. And I would like to avoid using hotkeys to start them manually. Let's say Lower third 1 on for interviews and lower third 2 for music performance.

[@ScottFichter]

Tobby, your best bet is to create lower third animated videos with transparent background with a transparent background. A video with a transparent background is referred to as a "Alpha Channel" Davinci Resolve can do it and the software is 100% free.

dock is active in obs... loaded a browser with the given local html file but i will not update editing and turning the controler ... need help. tia

[@ScottFichter]

Mac or Pc?

[@MarlonVillegasBriones]

@@ScottFichter thanks for the reply but was able to locate where to set the correct setting for lower 3rd to work on my laptop.

[@thejuggernaut6789]

Hey Scott, Got some featured videos of your's recently pop up for me and I am totally digging the work you put into these tutorials! This is the first one I wanted to try out and just testing with a KZbin Channel Lower Third. I have the Main Settings activated, my logo is in place as logo_1.png (put the KZbin Logo over the "Your LOGO Here", transparent background, etc.), but then I enable the Lower Third 1 via the switch, it just goes to Red Box and stays there. Any ideas? Thanks!

[@FreightontheFly]

hey Scott, can you please do a video on how to use "Streamlabs OBS", thank you. I can not find out how to use the game capture with a hotkey.

[@ScottFichter]

YES SIR! This channel will be diving in full bore very soon. SLOBS is THE browser source website.

[@FreightontheFly]

@@ScottFichter thanks, you are the best

[@brianhenry6508]

Hi Scott, I cant get my lower third to go active. It stays Red no matter what i do. I have my Main Setting Blue but the individual lower third wont turn on. I did turn off the setting that controls the in activities of the different memory slots. Please assist

[@ScottFichter]

I'm going to make a video addressing your issue.

[@Mystic-speaks]

How do you preview the lower thirds

[@Dhaas73]

Awesome thanks so much for the update!!

[@ScottFichter]

You bet!

[@freethinker1792]

Mine does not turn blue! Main is ON BUT other boxes remain Red and doesn’t appear on my screen. I’m New and I watched your set up video! It’s all set up BUT only my MAIN is Blue color. Please Help!

[@ScottFichter]

Try restarting OBS.

[@RobCooper]

That was awesome. Appreciate it.

[@ScottFichter]

Glad you liked it!

[@general2step]

I'm struggling with this terribly. I have some comprehension difficulties in general, so when things don't go exactly as presented, my brain shuts down and I get lost real fast. Is there a way to get a personalized private tutorial by sharing my screen so you can guide me in real time?
