Worked like a charm. I might just be your biggest fan!!!

[donbarnhartcomedy]

Thanks so much Scott. I was looking how to do a double click on the scenes to cut to go live and you showed us how to do it.

[An.D]

Great tutorial Scott man, you Got sum ✌👍

Thanks again Scott for keeping them coming. I use the multiview full screen dragged over to my second monitor and leave OBS studio view in the main laptop monitor. Its a great setup to have both views side by side. This makes it easy to switch, see what's going on at all times while still being able to dive into the settings to make any last minute changes and tweaks while keeping the show going. The more I learn the more impressed I am with this software.

Keep shooting lites out Scott, appreciate You

Great tip! I added my iPad as a second monitor and dragged the multiview window to the iPad. Now I have a touch screen to switch screens. It’s even easier than using my Stream Deck XL.

Excellent video. Interesting subject. Very satisfying all 'round.

Great video, Scott! I use this with my setup (12 cameras viewing a band performance) and it makes it much easier to select for the most interesting angle.

Something else I like to do:
Since I only have 12 cameras, I like to bunch all of the cameras close together, placing all of them on the far left-hand side of the 24 cell grid. In order to do this, I add empty "dummy" scenes into the scene view and I place them strategically in between my good scenes so that they bump everything over one cell to the right. I add 4 of these dummy scenes and it will shift all cells over 4 places, placing my cameras on the next row. If thats confusing, Ill try to illustrate it here.

Cam 1 | Cam2 | Cam3 | Cam4 | Dum1 | Dum2 | Dum3 | Dum4
Cam 5 | Cam6 | Cam7 | Cam8 | Dum5 | Dum6 | Dum7 | Dum8

Which looks like this on the regular Scene View:

Cam1
Cam2
Cam3
Cam4
Dum1
Dum2
Dum3
Dum4
Cam5
Cam6
Cam7
Cam8
Dum5
Dum6
Dum7
Dum8

March 2023, thank you so much Scott literally the best tutorial about Multicam & Multiview on YouTube ! Thank youuuu

[uriallon]

Cool transitions throw the video! Do you edit or do you have some other solution?

[mario_stinger_business_channel]

Stupid question. If I use ANY hotkeys (CTRL+Z) for example. When I undo anything on the PC, it will switch scene... That's why I use my iPad..

[TomVernonUAP]

Another fun informative one. Thanks Scott! Hotkey triggers work great with an old launchpad mini / controlcast, and it's a tenth the cost of a streamdeck.

[Jongraphs]

Great 👍 thank you. Question - double-click to scene change only works if studio mode is running, right? Once studio mode is off, preview & program show the same thing.

[CORRUPTIONCZARNETWORK]

wow, I'm going to try this out, thanks

[djpeteb]

Nice!!!! Now let me ask just for clarity, ,,, These scenes displayed in the selection box are not active right? as in not using any resources until to select them and when a new scene is selected does the previously viewed scene free up the resources it was using, especially if you had media running in them,

[adrianhendy]

Hey Scott - I can see why you recommend multiview window instead of multiview fullscreen, but for me I've found that a multi monitor setup works even better! In conjunction with your tips/tweaks makes for an awesome setup. I do have a stream deck as well and that really is the ultimate setup for me...

[marcuscarter]

Another great video Scott. Really didactic. I wonder if you could do a tutorial on putting the comments of an Instagram live onto OBS. It’s a real pain having to look at the phone at the same time. 😄

[arunogmc]

Scott, very good info's you share and underline to us.
Thank you to bring light on those infos/knowledge.
Keep it up. We need you. 👍💪🙏

Hey Scott, I’m eating dinner, playing chess and juggling right now. I’m about to test something out and I’m wondering if this is a topic you’ve covered previously.

I’ve created a sports scoreboard and I have over a dozen scoreboard animations rendered with transparency at 1920x1080. The animations themselves are small, reveals over and from behind the scoreboard. Do you know if cropping most of the transparency would improve rendering performance?

I’m on a Mac Laptop. I just discovered in another video that using the Apple VT H264 Hardware Encoder, opposed to the x264 software encoder, reduces dropped frames. HUGE reduction in dropped frames for us MacBook users. I’m hoping that cropping out the transparency of my animations will also reduce CPU load. I’ll let you know what I discover. Cheers.

Thanks found this quite useful we going to be running an gaming event soon with all pcs that are going to be running NDI, Thinking adventually going to set up to use something such as an tablet etc for quick selection changes Working on creating an coupple of sences that have muti sources on it still looking for some more adavanced software that is not going to cost the earth to do muti screen output at once so switching say from 1 source to having 5 at one time this be more getting into hardware i guess? im still fairly new to this so getting my head around as much as i can
