TikTok and KZbin Shorts streams are blowing up lately thanks to an OBS Plugin called Aitum Vertical. A lot of your streams suck though lmao, so here is one tech that will make you stand out from everyone else.
This video will show you how to cut out UI elements like your health bar, game stats etc. and freely position them on your layout. All using just OBS. Nobody is reading this, I’m just putting these words in for SEO reasons.

I saw that original Google search at 3:43 👀

[@NumberStations_LiveUK]

Bruh animal crossing p**n

[@_Faither]

omg :o

[@theorulez]

no you didn't xD

[@bulanmaster]

hey @nutty SVGator dev here. you can actually export as a PNG file right from us, if you check under the GIF export tab, you can do it from there

[@BearClaymore]

hey there! sorry to bug here. Since you mentinoed you are a dev for SVGator, i get a runtime error everytime I try to upload a png image. "Failed to execute 'insterAdjacentHTML' on 'Element': The provided markup is invalid XML and therefore it cannot be inserted into and XML document." Thought would be worth posting here just in case someone is running into this too.

[@bulanmaster]

@@BearClaymore i am going to message you privately for more details, but at a first glance it just seems like a typo: instead of insterAdjacentHTML it should be insertAdjacentHTML

[@nicholasbonelli4514]

Exporting directly as a png only allows low resolutions. I think 256x256 is the max.

[@bulanmaster]

@@nicholasbonelli4514 you should be able to export higher resolutions as well. i just exported a 1440p, it just needs any animation in it, which you can actually just "emulate" by adding an animation to any of the elements, with the same values on both keyframes. also i probably should have mentioned in the original post that exporting PNG format is a feature for paying customers. my bad on that one. however also as an alternative you can export in GIF format which is available for free users as well and it's also accepted by OBS afaik as an image mask and even more so, that can also be animated (but it might use a lot of RAM, depending on long the animation is and what the framerate is and such)

[@HellsJanitor]

omg - the prefilled Google search had me spit my drink all over my keyboard 🤣

[@The_vanguard_]

This is so much better than how I've added mine with multiple game sources. Nutty coming in clutch again.

[@Scalvenger]

I’m literally setting this up TODAY. This is such amazing info. Great video!

[@kyle7056]

This is incredible. Thank you Nutty!

[@nickdee24]

3:43 i love it :D it's little things like that so subtle but makes you laugh.

[@xzon3shotzxgaming987]

Thank you man! I see so much potential to use this for clip records for TikTok and shorts

[@MobileGamingLegendz]

This was very helpful, learned source clone plus the appropriate way to cut out UI elements. Video is a W

[@Loopin360]

Thanks, i've been hung up on how to make shorts out of my old recordings for ages. This helps a lot.

[@mlbmobilegamer]

fantastic! I tried to make an easy UI for my stream but this beats it! For the next live I will have it ready! thanks nutty!

[@banasuragaming62]

Great video Nutty!!

[@BatsuOhno]

definitely implementing this tonight!

[@zerik_media]

Yo! Much love nutty! Videos are always helpful and this made the vertical look so much cleaner. Sucks that there's so much to do, to get it looking that good but it's easy and straight forward

[@c4ldas]

Amazing idea and implementation!

[@canadiansamosa]

Amazing, thank you , I will be trying this out.

[@Vorundor]

THANK YOU, NUTTY!! I was the guy that asked how you did it, in chat, after the vertical video. :D This is such a helpful video, amazing content again, thank you.

[@ZeGamingOfficial]

Exactly what I was looking for thanks! Gonna apply this to other games

[@DavidHolden15911855]

I watched this twice, and decided to give it a shot. I felt my vertical canvas was pretty basic and I want to spice it up a bit. Thanks again for being amazing and posting such indepth tutorials. Love these videos.

[@YoRAHeem]

You're pushing excellent content! Truly appreciate it. My question is this, as I'm not the content creator or the one seeking to be on stream. Is there a way to set this up Live or will it always be sharing file dumps? Like is there a producer tool?

[@joshuagandia4579]

This is game changing...Cant wait to add this to my streams!!!

[@The_Sugewhite]

Dude you know I've been waiting for this one 💯💪

[@AnziaSouthlord]

Does using source clones make it harder for your computer to stream? Like does it take up a significant amount of extra resources? I'm not on the most beafiest computer so... 😅

[@eldemiandx]

It consumes little, but you don't lose anything by trying.

[@battersboy]

I had this idea as soon as vertical streaming started but have been too lazy to sit and mask it out and deal with KZbin comments etc. You’ve solved a problem and inspired me Nutty. Thank you, King 👑

[@punkinpaiTV]

Thanks for another awesome video!

[@umamisoy]

Alternatively, what I do, Is do a source clone and use Advanced Mask plugin to cut the area. Is not as clean as drawing a cookie cutter mask but it gets the job done quickly.

[@GuiDaFunkyMan]

Amazing tutorial. Thanks for the TikTok template by the way. 👌

[@PhackusDurackus]

Bro!! Let's go! I've been waiting for this since your comment last week! I did, however, find a way to do it with source clone! So, I'm excited to see if that's the same option you have here today!

[@naits95]

another aboslute banger POG video, perfect thanks

[@HubesTube]

Thx, your a legend!

[@chk__]

Seriously, you´re a genious. Chapeau!

[@KickTheTiresAndLightTheFires]

Bless you Mr Nutty... Bless you...

[@DataSwami]

nutty nuttng it out the park as usual!!

[@ElVixe]

Nutty thank you for solving my problems

[@itsCARLIT05]

Keeeeeeeeeen on the Mario Kart one. Cheers, mate

[@nintendoninjanews]

Great work. Didn't know you had a Kofi!

[@HeddyGames]

GREAT video as always Nutty! Question: Do you know if there is a performance issue if you are streaming and recording clips with vertical plugin at the same time? I tried this but no matter what I do, if my Vertical plugin is recording clips, the streaming keeps lagging. Thanks!

[@QuackyTV]

Great tutorial! Could we potentially see a more in depth video on how to get live counters for likes, views, uptime, total subs, etc for KZbin live streams?

[@thatguybgreen]

Nutty killin it again

[@ShortNature]

3:43 SIR!

[@The_Sugewhite]

Where would you suggest the camera go and should we use one?

[@CptFuzzball]

If you're saving the mask to PNG anyway, you don't need to use vector creation software to create it. You can also make masks with Photoshop or, if looking for a free alternative, Krita or Photopea

[@flufflessMC]

Now combine it with EYE and make it dynamic. So you get only the UI you need, for each appropriate in game menu.

[@StaticzWarz]

No but seriously… how much more of a 🐐 do you need to be Nutty?

[@naturespirit4011]

but you can actually export PNG sequence from SVGator.. you can find it in the GIF tab.

[@djsusan00]

3:35 as a arch user I'm highly offended

[@ElVixe]

Wtf is Arch

[@djsusan00]

​@ElVixe I think it's like a shape or something idk dude

[@Angelo-wf4kf]

damn nutty joined the 2:1 squad

[@adamhinds8352]

awesome sauce

[@EightBitNoise]

now I also need chips. This was a great tutorial. Imma see if I can do it.

[@blakepace]

🎉At the risk of being redundant, this tip is BRILLIANT! ❤😂

[@WibuSableng]

7:35 WHAT ?? SERIOUSLY ?? thats game changer.. i toght once you apply a filter , thats gonna affect that source in every scene

[@TheMulletMaam]

I love how obs just works for you. God forbid I try to add my webcam after obs is open.

[@ThatNerdChris]

Nutty is a modern day Bob Ross-- but funny 🔥idea

[@VoyivodaFTW1]

You haven't watched enough bob ross if you don't know that he stayed having jokes.

[@ThatNerdChris]

@@VoyivodaFTW1 I actually had no idea. I gotta watch some now lol

[@miniberg10]

What is the video called where you can add the shadows?

[@SoloMentality_]

this is an awesome video.

[@HonestAuntyElle]

Had this idea a while ago, but sea of Thieves fades out parts of the UI when your health is full and weapons stowed. So it ends up looking pretty fugly adding a drop shadow or some filters probably would have fixed it a bit though.

[@liamjohnson1783]

what is the name of the Plug in that let’s you use shadows on sources?

[@Eugene__Play]

hahahaha 2:30 - Harris is not Harris anymore @Senpai

[@Alexramos]

fun fact. i dont use OBS or stream. but you funny and thats the reason i watch your videos. keep being goofy

[@NederGamingNL]

Is there a way to double vertical stream? Im not meaning multi stream but double angle. So one stream camera 1, second stream camera 2

[@chrono32123]

I'm going to revamp my entire vertical layout because it's...just a shrunken down gameplay scene with a source clone of it but blurred in the background to fill out the canvas...oh and my face but no ones watching my streams for my face.

[@MonzonSpeaksStuff]

I’m guilty of this 😂

[@chaesshorts]

Is there a plug-in that allows you to redact or remove gamertags on screen while recording?

[@veganbadass_]

you are a genius..

[@notgcharles0116]

beautiful

[@pollitoninja_]

3:43 lol I actually laugh hard

[@L4ZYFOX]

i love all this and i am implementing it now, but the Social media thing isn't free :(

[@dededarirahmadi8271]

i have problem when change between vertical scene, i cant change vertical scene with hotkeys, i have 2 spesific vertical scene that show in vertical mode. and i have a lot scene in normal mode, how to spesifically change between vertical scene with hotkeys?

[@SembonzakuraKageyosh]

"Animal crossing p*rn" ahahahahah I'm dead. You are a genius ahahahahah!

[@geraldsalas3213]

Hi nutty, i'm trying to resize Sources in OBS 30.1.2. I noticed that when I try to rescale Sources like Source clone or even the Tiktok layout you made when I press Alt + hold and drag the green broken line does not appear, instead the source shrink inwards and its hard to rescale that way. what could possibly the reason behind it?

[@geraldsalas3213]

also, why does the tiktok layout does not fit perfectly in my vertical viewer. im using the Aitum Vertical.

[@SigSoWavy]

this is insane

[@napoellisyt]

Where is the Shadow plugin?

[@kettu9943]

Where can I send you my results to show you?

[@BearClaymore]

Getting this error when trying to upload the game screenshot to SVGator, anyone having this too? "Failed to execute 'insterAdjacentHTML' on 'Element': The provided markup is invalid XML and therefore it cannot be inserted into and XML document."

[@NickFilAye]

My stream pc is a i9-10850k and 3080. I run one horizontal and one vertical. I wanted to add tik tok too. But just with my two streams it maxes my gpu load somehow. Not sure how to fix any tips?

[@chk__]

Use CPU to encode. x264 instead of nvenc. Of course CPU load will increase significantly, but the CPU should be able to handle it easily.

[@NickFilAye]

@@chk__ alright thanks will give it a try. Thanks

[@SquidLS]

image mask/blend isn't working for me for some reason, dunno why

[@otis0tis0tis]

[@rivanh]

anyone did thge warzone png that can share it

[@streamtabulous]

[@lushenazn5152]

Animal crossing what?...

[@JayashanRavindu]
