How To Crop In On Your Camera In OBS

Let’s start with the easiest, but also one of the most effective ways to help add a bit more emphasis and engagement to whatever you are doing. I come from a Filmmaking background and one of the major techniques we use is shot size, we film wides, mediums, and close ups then cut between them to add emphasis or feeling to a statement.

To do this live, all you need to do is grab your camera, duplicate it, and layer it on top of the old camera. Zoom the camera in a bit, and then you can keybind it either in your settings to toggle the source on and off, as seen on screen now, go to Settings, Select Hotkeys, then find your scene you’re working in, find the layer, and then hotkey it to a button you don’t use such as your Numpad, or you can use an Elgato StreamDeck or StreamDeck alternative to do it very easily.

How To Use Hotkeys In OBS To Trigger Sources, Scenes, and more

Head to your Settings and click Hot Keys, search up the source you want to show or hide, for example my CAMERA, you’ll see a SHOW HIDE for the OBS Source, we’re going to hotkey each to something we don’t touch often or by accident, so CTRL SHIFT 1 for show and hide, and click apply.

Now when we press CTRL SHIFT 1, OBS will show or hide that source because of the Filter. These hotkeys can be used to trigger scenes, music, sound effects, and even combine all these at once.

Thanks for making these tips videos! I've started trying to put ones that I need in use, and while I'm slow so I have to rewatch them several times, they've already made things easier for me; on top of that, your humor makes it easy to keep going back.

[Chronikz]

It's crazy how much better your videos have become Eljay. Been a subscriber for a long time and this video just shows the insane growth over the last years. Thanks for the inspiration and all the effort!

[gripschan]

omg thank you so much for explaining nested scenes, someone was helping me with OBS and was shocked I didn't know what they were or how to do them. Thank you so much for this, your videos are always insightful and informative. 👍

[vikasit_vikas]

Its kind of a tutorial, yet no one will get bored watching it Thanks for all these awesome videos.

[jevvvNZ]

Thanks for the fantastic tips - some I knew, some are new to me. Thank you also for the free stuff.

[vneedsattention]

I have to say thank you for all of your videos! I’m still a tiny, baby streamer but you’ve helped me so much and have made this such a fun adventure!

[MoomersReaction]

You have really changed my opinion about using obs. Great job on this video and thank you! 💗

[IAmMightyMike]

Whenever you upload it just so happens I'm struggling with the same issue 😅 Always appreciate your stuff!

[GeminiNight]

NGL this video gave me the mighty "red button" temptation to join your Discord just to ping you.

[ryanchattertonYT]

How are you getting the effect to track the camera to your mouse cursor? I'd like to use this at work.

[brunovincent]

Fantastic video, but I don't do any live streaming, only recording videos. So should I let all cameras roll at the same time (I use Source Record plugin) and then do all the edits in Davinci?

[twistedsoratv]

I didn't know you can add scenes to scenes 😮 this is gonna be a game changer!

[HaythamAlshamlan]

First subscribe-worthy content I’ve seen in months, you’ve earned it buddy.

[Delphinus-Keya]

IDK if it is the day or my luck with software/hardware lately but this literally broke my head. Bad for me but good for you as I'll have to watch this or 10 more "agains" lol

[Sodapop_Tad]

What did you use for your mic effects during the matte scene 6:20

[darthpyro]

Ping! Thank you for this, implementing now!

[geraldsalas]

what's the difference of doing "Move scene" filter in scene vs adding the Scene in the source? which is better?

[elinjones]

May be the wrong place to ask, but i wondered if you'd know what to do. I set up a redemption on streamelements and when it's redeemed my lurk overlay is triggered when it shouldn't be, do you know what I can do to stop that overlay popping up with the wrong redemption? Thanks and sorry if it can't be answered

[diminicju]

these are great tips, I'm having an issue when I add a (zoomed face cam and zoomed game cam - to add a little flare on punchlines) that there is a delay between disabling full gameplay footage to load the new zoomed footage same with the face cam. does anybody know why it is'nt instant, any help would be appriciated!
