6 Secret Ways To Level Up Your Streams

I've covered a lot of OBS Studio scripts in my day, but these top OBS Scripts were specifically requested in the comments by viewers. You all made these happen, and I want everyone to know about them!

bro, you don't need to apologize for the scripts not being flashy. anybody whose been doing content for a while values saving headaches in the workflow and efficiency over shiny gimmicks. keep up the great work!

[sickmind]

honestly, I am loving all the work people put into scripting for OBS. Crazy to think how much customization is put into content creation now vs 10 years ago.

I don't know if anyone else does this but I've got a pretty much fully-universal marker solution - have a button (or in my case midi pedal) that triggers in OBS a loud ping on an audio track that doesn't go out over the livestream, or your speakers, or headphones, but can very easily be seen in your video editing timeline in it's own audio track, so you can easily jump straight to them.
A loud buzzer would work too.
if you have enough spare channels, you could get creative and have one channel for the "start" marker of significant events, and one as the "end" marker, or have two different sounds, one is a ping with a long ringout, the other is the same sound but reversed, so they look like arrows in your video editor timeline.
No one hears it until you check the recording, I have an OBS recording editor template with the marker audio track already muted.
The only requirement is a video editing program that recognises multiple audio tracks per video file, which should really be the bare minimum for most folks serious about editing their recordings.
I have a slightly similar set up with alerts that someone has commented in chat, as I DJ on Twitch and sometimes don't notice when someone has entered chat, so that audio ping is audible to me from OBS but OBS is set not to send it over the stream, the only very rare time this is an issue is when I've got the microphone on and the ping occurs, there's a tiny bit of spill into the mic.

I wish there was an update for the replay buffer feature, so that clips don't overlap if you hit the record button

It's amazing how many of these plugins seem like things that should be baked into OBS. Really great to see community developers building tools that are basically essential additions so the OBS can spend their limited resources on more important stuff. GGs

That OBS Rec-Rename script is a godsend. I've gotten to the point of changing my recording output folder every time i record something different from what i just recorded and this will save me ALL of that (upfront) effort

Thanks for featuring the Local Stream Marker! Been a fan of your content for a while now :) still trying to make time to fix the bug where it creates another row of column headers in the CSV file like you showed :)

[TheNetGuy]

I loved the idea of the markers CSV. This is going to help me a bunch with time coding my stream replays from Amazon Live/YT streams. Right now I’d have to scrub and find where I switch products, this will give me a pretty good head start on that and I can use a stream deck button to handle the marking! Thanks for this video and idea!

[notevn]

I use advance scene switcher to switch after media. You can set how exactly how long before the end of a media clip you want it to switch

Yo Epos Vox!
You should check out the PCPanel Pro!
It's just sliders that control digital audio meters.
So you can change specific programs, AND specific OBS channels with physical knobs/sliders.
It seems pretty solid, and the only decent in-depth videos that exist of it are from Harris Keller and the company themselves.

Audio processing programs allow for use of PRE OPEN GATE timing because recording is there and PC knows when that noise will open the gate. It's a simple feature for processing of pre-recorded stuff but I understand why it's not working live. Or... kinda...

See, webcams or any sort of cams are pretty slow and have a decent chunk of delay to them delivering that video.
It means that audio from your mic gets buffered as it's waiting for a correct frame/time to get released.

Question is, is it possible to make pre-gate feature work live by accessing that buffer? It would be a golden feature even with few miliseconds of space to work with. Currently noise gate filter in OBS has attack, release and hold time but no pre-open.
I haven't seen a plugin that does this, but even if you were to add like 1 second of delay to your stream in order to have 10ms of pre-open - that's hella worth it for audio consistency.

So smooth! Every Nice tutorialng he says goes into my brain and sticks in.

[sami-kcox]

how does one you usually get the footage for edits? do you record your stream while you stream, or download twitch's vod?

[TryingBrian]

Dope tips, and even doper bfmv shirt 🤘

Now this is pod racing. 5/6 of these are god-like scripts. 🙌

[LinkCherryTree]

Hey Adam i have purchased a 240hz monitor but when i live stream a game obs does not like 240hz gaming everything seems to stutter when i stream.

[TheXev]

Is there a script that will pull the highlights/clips and markers from Twitch into a csv? That would be far more handy for the work flows of some of my friends.

[ElVixe]

Thank you Epox, very useful information as ever!

[brunoverachten]

Thanks a lot for this set of plugins.
Unfortunately, I can't get the renamer to work...
It does not show any window to configure the output folder, and I have literally zero logs.

adobe markers are usually exported with the video file as its metadata
so theoretically all you need to let the script modify the video file metadata after you stop the recording and insert the markers in the same formatting as adobe after effects or premiere uses.. not sure about davinci doe
