**Title:** Updated Track Matte and Stinger Transitions in OBS: A Detailed Guide

As we explore the world of live streaming, it's essential to have access to creative and engaging transitions. In this video, I'll walk you through the process of using updated track matte and stinger transitions in OBS (Open Broadcasting Software). We'll delve into the settings, properties, and layouts to create a seamless transition between scenes.

Let me make it a bit bigger because right here we have use a track matte and this is the thing that updated trackmat stingers so what is this well it's pretty confusing to explain so I'm gonna go back to the files that we downloaded here to side by side and I'm gonna use this transition as an example.

**So, What Are Track Matte and Stinger Transitions?**

To understand this concept, let's look at a visual representation. On one screen (left), you see a circle that opens like this. Now, on the other screen (right), you have a black area and then a white area. The black represents your current scene that you're transitioning away from, and the white is your new scene.

As you can see in the little preview instead of next to each other so what you choose here just depends on the kind of file you downloaded or you create it yourself if you're a designer so we're going to choose side by side then you don't have to do anything else let's click on ok and right now I'm gonna go to the second scene here.

**Step-by-Step Guide to Using Track Matte and Stinger Transitions**

1. First, open OBS and navigate to the "Scene Transitions" section.

2. Click on "Stinger" (or add a stinger) and then select the settings properties.

3. In this window, you'll be asked to select a video file. Browse through your downloaded files and choose the circle transition.

4. Now, the new feature on the bottom is "Use a track method." Select the layout by choosing either "Same File" (stacked or side by side). For our example, let's go with "Side By Side."

5. Click OK, and you'll see the transition in action.

**Alternative Transitions: Exploring More Options**

Let me quickly show you another transition from the preset so this is another one. Click on okay and then let's transition there you go this gives a bunch of possibilities because it's really cool when you have a transition that has the current scene and the next scene in one screen and then kind of transitions over.

**Conclusion**

In conclusion, I hope this detailed guide has helped you understand how to use updated track matte and stinger transitions in OBS. With these steps, you'll be able to create seamless transitions between scenes and enhance your live streaming experience.

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey how are you doing welcome back to the channel obs studio finally launched version 27. they've been testing it for months but right now it officially launched these are a bunch of the changes i'm gonna go over them together with you because there's some exciting stuff in here if you want to check your current version you can go to help to about and then right here you can see version 27.0.0 if you still need to update just go to obsproject.com click on your operating system and it will start downloading now make sure you install it in the right folder because i have an obs folder right here obs studio and then also in this folder and only one of them updated to version 27 obviously so make sure you select the right folder or otherwise you might not see all these changes a big thanks to the sponsor which is owned to make this video possible if you want to make your stream look better then this is the place to be to give a whole new look to your stream you can get one of their complete graphic packs all of the elements inside can be tested with their preview tool and they are completely animated and really high quality you can also improve the sense of community in your stream by creating personalized emotes and badges with their tools this is a great way to incentivize viewers to subscribe and to start using the emotes in your chat the link to their website will be in my description and if you use my code tvn you will get 50 of the price again the link will be in the description the first feature that changed is something many people have been waiting for and it's undo and redo the undo feature goes back to 5 000 actions so in theory it's pretty unlimited let's say this is a pretty important scene i replace it and it's hard to get it right again i can just press ctrl z ctrl z and here we are at the start again this wasn't possible before and many people are gonna be happy that this is back to edit you can see undo and redo control z is to undo and then ctrl plus shift plus z which is this it's to redo but the developer says you can also press ctrl y the next new feature is improved display capture for laptops a bunch of people are streaming from laptops and there's a possibility that you got a black screen before because laptops sometimes have two gpus one very energy efficient gpu for the lighter tasks and then one very powerful gpu or powerful gpu it's a laptop for 3d tasks like gaming etc now the problem some laptop users run into is that the laptop might decide to run obs studio on the lighter gpu and then your game on the powerful gpu and as a result of that when you decide to capture your screen with obs studio which is using the lighter gpu but the game was actually running on the heavy gpu obs studio couldn't capture that other gpu which resulted in a black screen so what did they change when you add a display capture source before the only option you had was which of the two screens you wanted to use but right now you can change the capture method to windows 10 1903 and up and this is a new method of capturing which will allow laptop users to use their two gpus and to capture something that's running on the other one now you won't have to choose it yourself you can just set it to automatic obs studio will select the right way to capture for you one disadvantage right now is that there will be a yellow border around the selected display so let's test this let's say we use display capture let's set it to this new method here let's click on ok and now you can see a yellow border around my screen but as i say in the article a future windows stun update will provide the option to hide it the next feature they implemented is a big quality of life upgrade which is a missing files dialog let me just show you what it does so let's say i go to my pictures and then i add this picture to obs now when i close obs studio and then i replace this picture to my downloads for example if i open obs studio again usually it would just not show the picture anymore because it was missing but right now as you see right here missing file you got a message right now now there are two ways to recover your file the first one is to just show obs studio where your file is since only one file is missing this is pretty easy you just say well it's right here my downloads here you click on open and then the file will be recovered now let's say there are 20 files missing because you moved a whole folder in that case it's gonna be pretty tedious to select them one by one so you can let obs just search a folder and the way to do that is by clicking on search directory and then saying well i'm not really sure where all the files are or i don't wanna select them one by one they are somewhere in my downloads and then you just click on select folder and as you see on the bottom left found one of one it found the file in the downloads and then here 16.jpg it found the picture let's click on apply and there you go the picture is back again and now we double click it you see that it has linked it to the new directory so this is a big quality of life update let's delete the picture and take a look at the next thing which is source visibility transitions now the new feature is this when you right click a source so not a scene but a source you can see two new things show transition and height transition or referring to when you hide something and then show it again like this now what does it do well when you add a show transition for example a swipe you can click preview transition this is a swipe to the left but when it shows up on the screen i wanted to swipe to the right let's click on okay let's hide the webcam now when i click on show you will see that it animates in then you can right click it and then say hide transition i also want to swipe but this time to the left let's click on okay so now we have a height transition to the left and then i show to the right but as you can already see we have a problem the swipe animation stays between the borders of the webcam as you can see when i hide and show it and this would be good when it would connect to the border like this because then it swipes in but it's not good when the webcam is a bit away from the border because then it looks kind of weird now the best solution that i have found is right clicking your video capture device and then going to group selected items let's call this webcam and right now we still have the same problem because when we click the folder it adjusts itself to the size of whatever is in the folder so how are we going to fix this well we are going to add another element a color source let's click on ok click on ok it doesn't really matter and now we can rescale this color source and the only thing we need to do is make sure it connects to the left let's make it about the same size as the webcam this isn't really necessary but just to make it a bit more clear so right now we can drag this to the folder let's drag it beneath the webcam so right now this here is the webcam then this whole thing is a color source and when we click on the folder it will select everything but now when we hide the color source as you see this did the trick so this is the webcam but where we click the folder then it connects to the left so now we can just add a show and hide transition to the folder itself so let's add a slide this is the show transition so i'm gonna do it to the right let's click on ok and then a height transition slide to the left click on ok and right now when i hide the folder there we go and when i show it it just slides in from the left you can also adjust the timing right here you can just say well it needs to be 1000 milliseconds for example then a height transition 1000 okay let's hide it and there we go now it's butter smooth this looks kinda good to be honest so there are a bunch of possibilities with this and one extra thing when you go to the settings to hotkeys you need to scroll down until you see the name of the scene you're in which is scene in this case and then you need to look for the folder that you want to show and hide which is webcam so as you see here show webcam hide webcam now when i add the keybind to show webcam and then to hide webcam i can now hide and show the webcam with my keyboard which is something i can do while being in game so this is extremely useful you can find a bunch of uses for this this is a really cool new feature now the next new feature is something that doesn't need much explaining when you go to view and then to docs maybe you didn't know about this but right here you can add a bunch of stuff like your chat or your stream information or your twitch activity feed but this was only possible on windows and right now it's also possible on linux and on mac os now you might not see everything here for example the twitch chat you can only see this if you're logged in with twitch when you go to the settings to stream and then right here you can select twitch and then log in as you see i can disconnect so if you're looking with twitch or with restream you will see some extra things right here in the docs so if you stream on mac os or on linux this is pretty cool now the next thing is wayland on linux and i'm gonna be honest i don't know much about linux i also think that not many people who are watching this video will be using linux so i'm not really gonna go in depth into this if you are a linux user make sure that you read this on obs project dot com slash blog next is again something extremely cool if you have an nvidia or tx card now one of my previous videos was about nvidia broadcast which is an application that removes all your background noise i'm gonna show you an example from the previous video this is a really exciting video watch this or better listen to this or better don't listen to this because my nvidia graphics card is blocking out everything that's not my voice if i just slap my desk while talking you're not gonna hear it so that's a pretty cool effect right now you need an nvidia rtx card for this but if you have one before you needed to use nvidia broadcast and then add your microphone here and then route stuff that was pretty annoying right now it's built into obs studio when you go through one of your audio sources right here let's say that desktop audio is my microphone it isn't but let's say it is you can just go to the filters then add a filter then choose noise suppression click on ok then you will see two noise removal methods right here but if we install one extra thing you will see a third option which is the noise removal of nvidia that i showed before that removes everything that's not your voice and it's pretty easy to install right here they just link to it nvidia broadcast audio effects sdk by the way if you're looking for this article for links that are inside of it you can just go to the obs website then right here on the top right you see block and there you will find the article so then you can just click on the link here to the sdk then choose your language and now when you scroll to the bottom you can see audio effects and then if you have an rtx 30 series card you click here if you have an rtx 20 series card you click here i have a 2070 super and this is a pretty big download it's 500 megabytes so when the download is finished you just install it and if everything works i can now close obs studio then open it again then go back to one of the filters here noise suppression and then i should see a third option and it works and video noise removal good quality no cpu usage and then you can just choose the intensity right here so you should play around with this and see if you like it if you want to adjust the intensity and you want to listen along with your mic to see if it works you can just go to the advanced audio properties and then next to your microphone let's say this is your mic you can change the audio monitoring to monitor and output and then you will hear your microphone in your headset so that way you can just test everything and then when it's right you just change it back to monitor off close it and then everything should work now let's go back to the updates because the next thing here is track math stingers now this is something that's pretty advanced i'm gonna give you a basic explanation of what this is how you could use it but i'm not gonna be able to explain you everything about it and show you how to make your own things with it but let me just show you the basics of it so right here they say free track matte stingers and i'm gonna use their presets to give you a preview of what this is exactly so let's go to the downloads right here this is what we just downloaded i'm just gonna extract it here and there are two folders same file side by side and then stacked now let's go back to obs studio because what this is is an advanced stinger transition so when you click here to change your overall transition you can choose at stinger you just click on it you click on ok let's click on ok for a second so right now you will have your normal transitions here and then also a stinger now when you click on it and select it as your current transition and then you click on the settings icon you can go to properties and then you can change your transition and there is something new here let me make it a bit bigger because right here we have use a track matte and this is the thing that updated trackmat stingers so what is this well it's pretty confusing to explain so i'm gonna go back to the files that we downloaded here to side by side and i'm gonna use this transition as an example so i'm gonna pause it here so we have two sides here the left is what the transition will actually look like on your screen it's just a circle that opens like this now on the right here you see a black area and then a white area now the black represents your current scene that you're transitioning away from and the white is your new scene so the transition starts really small like this and as you see the outside of the circle here is black on the right so that will be your current scene then the inside of the circle is white so that will be your new scene that's opening within this circle on the left i'm gonna show you how it works so let's go to obs let's click on okay i'm gonna do it again so on the right here you see scene transitions you click on stinger right here or you add a stinger then you click on the settings properties and then here they ask you to select a video file so let's click on browse let's go to downloads this is what we downloaded side by side and i'm gonna choose the circle transition let's click on open and now the new feature on the bottom use a track method and then here they ask you to select a layout and you can choose between same file side by side and same file stacked that's the same thing as we could see in the folders we downloaded same file stacked or side by side let's go to stacked here so that's just on top of each other as you can see in the little preview instead of next to each other so what you choose here just depends on the kind of file you downloaded or you create it yourself if you're a designer so we're going to choose side by side then you don't have to do anything else let's click on ok and right now i'm gonna go to the second scene here and as you see this is a pretty cool transition let's go back to the other scene so just like i showed you right here the inside of the circle is white which means that it will be your new scene and then the outside of the circle was black which is your previous scene so when i go to scene two you're gonna see that the inside of the circle is the new one and then the outside is the old scene and then it becomes bigger till everything is white in the transition as you will see here when i play it so it starts all black and then the white circle opens till it's completely white so that's this transition i'll quickly show you another transition from the preset so this is another one let's click on okay and then let's transition there you go this gives a bunch of possibilities because it's really cool when you have a transition that has the current scene and the next scene in one screen and then kind of transitions over let me show you the third one that they give you let's click on browse this is the third one let's click on okay and that's a transition like this i'm not really gonna use this i really like the circle but that's up to you of course if this little update video was helpful to you then please give it a like because that helps me a lot in the algorithm i've never really done a video like this where i go over an article and then give extra information about everything so please let me know in the comments if you like this type of content i really enjoyed making this there are a bunch of new things coming out constantly interesting articles about things popping up if you want me to make content about that and just give my own opinion and some extra information please let me know in the comments because i'd really like to make more of this subscribe to the channel if you want more content about streaming thank you so much for watching and i will see you in the next video have a nice dayhey how are you doing welcome back to the channel obs studio finally launched version 27. they've been testing it for months but right now it officially

just like i showed you right here the inside of the circle is white which means that it will be your new scene and then the outside of the circle was black which is your previous scene so when i go to scene two you're gonna see that the inside of the circle is the new one and then the outside is the old scene and then it becomes bigger till everything is white in the transition as you will see here when i play it so it starts all black and then the white circle opens till it's completely white so that's this transition i'll quickly show you another transition from the preset so this is another one let's click on okay and then let's transition there you go this gives a bunch of possibilities because it's really cool when you have a transition that has the current scene and the next scene in one screen and then kind of transitions over let me show you the third one that they give you let's click on browse this is the third one let's click on okay and that's a transition like this i'm not really gonna use this i really like the circle but that's up to you of course if this little update video was helpful to you then please give it a like because that helps me a lot in the algorithm
