VOICE ACTIVATED CHARACTERS IN OBS STUDIO - V-Tuber

[@itskiggu]

Fun idea: set TTS output as the mic that controls it and have a mascot read the TTS. You could even have it pop up only when the TTS happens by integrating with lioranboard or streamerbot

[@SnappyScience]

Nice one @kiggu. Literally the idea I was about to write. It would look so good and increase the incentive for people to use the TTS. You could even set different twitch triggers for different characters with different voices.

[@itskiggu]

@@SnappyScience We are on the same wavelength! It would also be fun to have a randomized character option. My first thought is to code it so that it generates a random number then executes a different set of commands based on that number to randomize which character shows up on the screen.

[@TopHatFellows]

How we go about this?

[@itskiggu]

@@TopHatFellows I think this would be a perfect video for @Andilippi to make next! He probably has a better method than I'm about to suggest, for now this is how I would do it. First step is separating the audio from the rest of your PC audio so it only opens it's mouth when the TTS is speaking and not when you talk, or when your game audio or BGM is playing. Since I use Voicemeeter as my virtual mixer I would set the TTS output to a virtual audio cable and output it on B2 (or B3 with Voicemeeter Potato if you already have B2 set up for discord or something else). Then in OBS use the TTS output you made with the method shown in this video to make it open and close it's mouth. I'm still thinking about the making it pop up only when TTS happens part, if anyone has suggestions I'd love to hear them. Again, this probably isn't the best way, I'm sure there's a much cleaner solution that doesn't involve Voicemeeter to separate audio.

[@SnappyScience]

@@itskiggu voicemeeter is great for that use. Really thinking off the top of my head but the animation part could potentially be a nested scene that only activates with a trigger and using a move transition it would slide up from the bottom. Would really need to test this idea but, don't take it as word. Lioranboard could likely do it.

[@decimat_ixn]

dude thank you so much, i wanted to find an easy way to make a visualiser and have something for people to look at when i'm talking without having to do facecam. and this was exactly what i wanted so thanks!

[@Torodin_]

Goated! Strange how almost no one talks about this in the pngtuber circles. there it's usually through discord or veadotube mini. but both can be fairly taxing. This is so much simpler for a beginner. Cheers big dog!

[@MalyanDrum]

Omg you may have just ONCE AGAIN solved a problem I've been grappling with for a long time! I've wanted to make my acoustic drums "play" elements of my overlays (tbd). So ofc I'm not gonna run my drum stems in from daw and mix in OBS, but I can make a bunch of reastreams on the different drum stems\tracks, into OBS (muted channels ofc or just output disabled) and then I can go to town! Thanks!!! Now to design the animated layers :)

[@Andilippi]

That sounds ace Mike!!! That’s a great use case for that!! Much love dude 👊🏼

[@cruncheezyt]

There is no audio move option 2:34

[@datey_in_a_1st_taxi]

this is how my mascot showed up on my many videos. tysm!

[@SnappyScience]

Great video guys! So many creative use cases for this if people think outside the box.

[@Andilippi]

We would love to see what you come up with science! Be sure to showcase in the discord!

[@jourdo2k3]

I could not take my eyes off of puppet Andi. Great effect! Cannot wait to lay around with this one.

[@Andilippi]

Me either… LUL Waldo always trolls me! Make sure to share what you make!

[@TheActualPots]

the audio move filter doesn't show up for me, i did just update OBS to the most recent update. Like 30 something

[@mochimitsu7]

It doesn't work.

[@Review4Gamers]

Tip for those wanting better animated pictures for smoother movments.. for your image files the more steps the smoother the animation is but you'll need to adjust the easing and threshold to where you need them for as animated as you want it to be

[@Milkthrow]

Really quick and to the point step by step. I was looking for a way to to it without Discord involved. It worked wonderfully for me, thank you so much!

[@xKumajirou]

This is so cool. I'm 100% going to try this method for my PNGtuber :D I wasn't very fond of the discord method.

[@itskiggu]

This method seems great for memes and such but there's better pngtuber apps out there that have additional features like blinking and additional states of emotion (happy, sad, excited, etc)

[@Andilippi]

You could actually even combine this with other streaming software to add more functionality such as blinking etc! By putting them on timers etc

[@itskiggu]

@@Andilippi 100%, the amount of things we can do with this plugin coupled with liornboard or streamerbot is incredible. I had this plugin already but had never thought of using it for this purpose, thank you so much for videos like this! Our only limit is our imagination. I only suggest the alternate pngtuber apps since it's all integrated and less effort to set up for the end user.

[@mrb5940]

I am not thinking on becoming a streamer, but thought this might help to reduce the time I have to invest into editing moving an avatar's mouth to what I am talking about. Great video and great tutorial

[@itsleoxz]

Yo how Is this channel give a lot of usefull tools, i loved XD

[@Andilippi]

Thanks so much Leo! ❤️👊🏼

[@EmeraldAudiovisual]

Top feature ! .. I was looking at Animate, but this is certainly the cheap and simple way to do something like this.

[@Andilippi]

You know us Emerald… we’re always about cheap (FREE) and easy!

[@brunosnow]

So cool that I'm trying to think of a fun way to use it already xD

[@Andilippi]

Hint… TTS 🧐😜

[@T32Squad]

This honestly helped me, thanks man.

[@abhishekpartkhe8834]

Can you tell me why cant i find the audio move filter on my obs :(

[@toejib9708]

dude, thank you, I can actually have something interactive on my twitch stream now!

[@homerelsenioro]

yo bro idk if u ever answer me but ur Channelpoint Trick isnt working. My webcam isnt go back on and the AVATAR doesnt disappear CAN SOMEONE HELP

[@MrHawkTV]

I installed it, doesnt show up on my streamlabs obs

[@TechFreq]

Thank you so much for the help! I just recently viewed your latest video about VOICE ANIMATED CHARACTERS or VTUBING tutorial! and that's headed right up my alley towards getting this TTS to Subtitles Text on OBSstudio and getting that one idea i mentioned awhile back to have a BANJO KAZOOIE CLOSED CAPTIONS SETUP! or the ANIMAL CROSSING CLOSED CAPTIONNS FX SETUP! or part of it at least out of the way with this video and a picture of the game characters moving its mouth while talking . or the idea of that ... which is basically working out very soon! so keep up the good work 😊 and thank you alot! it helps alot tapping into my creative side finally haha but as another idea would you be able to do an updated video towards, getting JumpScares Alerts onto the streams? on one of your past videos their was a small bit where you had mentioned you would make one and wasn't sure if that would have been under the Move Transition videos or your Beginner Lioranboard tutorials, from a couple years back! and i had been curious ever since to trigger a Jump Scare Alert!! Your past video was when you showcased a Fight Nights AT Freddys Bear popping up for that old tutorial but i never could find the video on how you made that jumpscare alert happen, unless i am just searching in the wrong places haha but anywho , i hope you have a wonderful day! and thanks again!

[@Andilippi]

Thanks for sharing that tech!!! Those are some really cool ideas dude!!! I do have it on my list of videos to do dude! I wanted to get it done for my stream at halloween but I just didn’t have enough time to pull it all together! I’ll try and get something together soon!

[@bunniebie9269]

this video was exactly what i needed, thank you so much!

[@rrb101567]

Guys I know its late but if your audio move filter doesn't show up you should check the version, if you have OBS version 27 you'll need to install Move v.2.6.1 or lower it worked for me when I downloaded the 2.5.8 version

[@TheDudeGuy0]

you're a godsent

[@OrchestralMusicMidJourneyArt]

I plan on doing this when I launch my new YT channel in 2022 using snap camera and many characters. This technique has more steps than just using snap cam I see.

[@Andilippi]

That’s awesome to hear Jon! Yeah there’s so many good ways of doing this kind of thing. The good thing about this method is that it’s nowhere near as resource heavy as snap cam!

[@FreakyMonster]

Aweseome tutorial! im waiting your streams!!!!!!

[@Andilippi]

Cheers monster! Sadly I’m away on vacation but I’ll be back before you know it!

[@8bitnitwit]

Thanks for making this so easy!

[@SilverDaFox]

1:09 cool transition

[@chiyo9481]

Hi, I can't see the audio move in my audio filters ;-;

[@13Rxve]

Thank you for helping me with this I have been wanting to know how to did this for hours

[@crypticvisionary]

So whacky but fun

[@Andilippi]

Glad you like it Tech Mess!

[@ttvskeleton]

I got the pugin but i dont see the uh audio move

[@wastedangelematis]

try adding (plus icon in "scenes") an "audio input capture" -> click your microphone (USB or whatever) and OK, then you can try clicking the audio level like he did and add filter->move

[@GabyxHD]

Great info like always. 😍

[@Andilippi]

Cheers Gaby! Waldo smashed it with this one! Be sure to follow him at www.twitch.tv/WaldoAndFriends

[@johnmurillo2722]

is there a way to do this in Streamlabs?

[@tomtitherington]

Waldo and Andi you lovely devils!

[@emma8061]

Hi ! I'm trying to troubleshoot some issues im having. My character is moving in my preview but it is NOT when I am streaming. I can see it move on the preview window but not the program window. Any tips?

[@stiffy]

Hello, I love your video. I am having troubles with finding the pluggin in filters, I installed them and I have OBS version 26.

[@Monkeyman_04]

Thanks for the video, I was able to get it to work in Preview: Scene, but when I transfer the scene to Program it only has the mouth closed image and doesn't interact when I'm speaking. OBS version is 30.2.2 on windows 10.

[@MrDragon77]

THANK YOU, SO MUCH

[@LewdContent]

nice idea i love it.

[@Andilippi]

Glad you like it Lewd! 👊🏼

[@Sneakian]

tysm!!

[@Not-Only-Reaper-Tutorials]

It's a pituy it doesn't exist the mid-way a threshold in which you can setup intermediate frames, to better adapt the movements. yes it's possible in some way to get similar FX but it's a bit more cumbersome.

[@Andilippi]

That would be a really cool idea! I might take a look at making something like that!

[@Not-Only-Reaper-Tutorials]

@@Andilippi I did it. 4 lauers. It works but, because the threshold is only one, you need to put the layers in a certain order. It works

[@joannahrafada9622]

when i open the audio filters i can't find the audio move :(

[@wastedangelematis]

Did you found out how to fix it? it works for me now in 2024

[@otokonokorecon2169]

i installed and do not have audio move option

[@wastedangelematis]

It's been 2 years, have you figured it out? was it to add audio input source first , then add audio filter move ?

[@otokonokorecon2169]

@@wastedangelematis yes though i forget how i did it haha. it was layering. the open mouth is hidden until audio is detected.

[@Jikitsu]

Thanks for the help!

[@ericexp497]

this is awesome, but how do i hide it, if i need to? i click the eyeball and it doesnt change. also how do i set it so that it transfers between scenes?

[@ScottofOakland]

I did the channel point redemption in Firebot as well so that works confirmed

[@PrettyInGrim]

so im extremely new to all of this and im kind of having trouble following along. how do i install move transition plug-in?

[@user-xc4bf5qd2s]

Great tutorial

[@Kareszkoma]

Does this work with streamlabs OBS?

[@crused4118]

I know this video is a little old, but does the resource work with videos/gifs instead of images?

[@wastedangelematis]

I would like to know too

[@scottymiller4396]

Is there a way to add a third threshold so that laughing or screaming gets another picture as well?

[@ItsRoBerdus]

Omg thx so much!!

[@GamerJules_]

10/10 use of Pop Cat!

[@Andilippi]

Go and see Waldo at www.twitch.tv/WaldoAndFriends for more insane effects!

[@thebastitorres]

Could it be done with more of two photos? I’ll try it right away. Thanks

[@Andilippi]

You could totally make different thresholds for multiple images etc

[@Nekotaku_TV]

What if you want more pictures? 3 could be the sweetspot.

[@sky_vr2022]

thx this helped a lottttttttttttttt

[@conradosylla9111]

Is that a way to make it pop but not from my microphone audio, and instead from another audio source? Like when a bot talk it activates?

[@wastedangelematis]

have you tried adding another audio source to "sources", then maybe depends on the plugins selecting the audio source of said bot might be possible, cause as a link might be kinda hard, I would like to know too if you find anything

[@siggevibes]

what, I was searching with the intent of using this cat gif thing for animating to obs and here it is in the very video and thumbnail like whaaaaaat

[@crabking9215]

so i used the same and i used a drawing two types obviously. and sometimes when its swapping between the two its just cutting out idk

[@MasterBlek]

I wonder when are we going to get our own program to make our own alerts animated by ourselves (the text included). :O For now we have Lachhhtools but still.

[@Andilippi]

That’s a cool idea! That’s why I love just making streamup animations in OBS!

[@sophie-dl2xl]

do you know where you got the pop cat pictures from ive been looking everywhere and cant get the same pictures to look as clean : (

[@Andilippi]

I’m sure Waldo just googled them but feel free to jump in his stream and ask him! Twitch.tv/waldoandfriends

[@daniellindsay4390]

do you no if you can do this on a live image (take a screenshot mouth opens and closes) and send the image to obs?

[@theliability__]

hey man is there any chance you could possibly explain how to do the OBS Raw sub actions. i am very ignorant in terms of coding and i am so lost as to how i write that code thank you so much !!!

[@Andilippi]

This video will help you out dude! m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/an3JYYmKqJZnjZY

[@Kambo0117]

Do i need to do 2 extra filters for multiple scenes?

[@littledragonmeiling]

Thank you so much for this!!! I love this! I'm having an issue though. I followed the video and used the code, but my camera source does not toggle back to visible in the end. What could be causing the issue?

[@Andilippi]

You could be missing a step! I’d recommend asking in the StreamUP discord!

[@cphgamer]

Same issue here ... Followed the tut. and using the code + edited to my system... It won't hide the emote and re-enable the normal cam :(

[@Nokia17Rocks]

A couple of days before I was wondering something similar, for interviews with 3 people, two friends and me, but I don't know or figure how to get two separated audio sources from my friends. I only have two, mine and their. But need 3

[@Andilippi]

Hmmm I’m not sure if there is a way to split multiple call audio in discord… I’ll definitely look into it!

[@keyzenthiru5867]

theres "move-transition-2.12.0-windows.zip" & "move-transition-2.12.0-windows-installer.zip", which one do i install?

[@ZigsenG]

How do you install the zip file?

[@wastedangelematis]

did you tried all the installers available ? i put them both (auto exe and the 2 files copy paste thing)

[@bongo1986]

Waldo>Andi ?

[@Andilippi]

True.

[@Burgercatcrashes]

does it work without the camera?

[@lunarthequazer]

I dont think that help me because what you say to use the noise move i did not find it

[@wastedangelematis]

Did you figure it out? was it the adding the mic usb or whaterver to the audio source?

[@pheiloh]

Hey Andilippi! With the newest OBS 27.2.3 version where the Audio Mixer still shows when your Mic is receiving any input even when it's muted, my character's mouth still moves although my mic is muted. Is there a setting I'm missing to turn that off so that my character doesn't move when my mic is muted?

[@Andilippi]

It should still work exactly the same! I’d recommend sharing the issue on the OBS forums!

[@wastedangelematis]

Is the issue fixed?

[@SpaceWolf64]

My model sometimes flickers (both images disappear for a millisecond) but I used the same filter settings as you did in the video and even played around some to see if anything would work. Is there a reason for this and are there any ways to fix this?

[@Andilippi]

I’m not too sure it should just work! I’d recommend jumping in the discord and ask Waldo if he has seen it before

[@applepie2692]

Same

[@iiTzTrizz]

For mine all I did was to turn the hardware gain which is on the mic to 50% to let more sound in and then I added abit more gain within OBS and it made it “smoother” you also have to mess with your filters threshold’s abit as well tweak it to your liking. The only thing my issue is now is that it’s slightly too sensitive

[@extraterrestrialcontent]

Could you do a tutorial on how to make a pngtuber blink (At random intervals)? Or also bounce when you talk?

[@Andilippi]

We can totally do that ducky!

[@extraterrestrialcontent]

@@Andilippi thanks!
