I was finding it super difficult mentally to switch modes of operation between keynote, recording a screencast or wanting to have an overlay or switch to my desktop/screencast and then managing all the assets i created, i needed a better way of doing it so I've decided on doing part of it in OBS because it gives me a few additional benefits and actually helps me get established in streaming again at the same time!įrom now on, each course i make which is around three hours long I'm going to stream and record, if you watch along with the stream you can ask questions and basically get the course for free, it does mean however you have to stay around for three hours to get all the information however as I'll be deleting the VOD and using the recorded elements as my udemy post or skillshare course.

Function key switching to different views as part of master scene.

Dynamic text includes so for future only update the text files.

Where you are in the course and how long left to go.

Progress check in at the end of each section.

36 x 5 minute clips equals around three hours of teaching/content.

Each clip will be around 5 minutes (webcam, screencast, mix).

Six topics per sections, with three topics on each clip.

have all the sections from 1.0 to 1.5 (six sections).

In the screencast i worked through the OBS settings that I've made for 19.0.2 (should work with all future versions too unless they change anything with scenes!) I've literally made a bunch of scenes and sources and i customise those scenes depending on what section I'm in. So many things just in flux and depending on my mood it could derail everything i was doing. I was finding that i have an issue with flow when recording my videos for my courses, it felt so much of a grind, unfriendly even to jump between keynote, desktop, webcam, overlays, screen casting.

I've gone to the next level with it to make a course layout system for my udemy courses.

The most powerful feature IMO is the ability to use sources as scenes, that is have a pre-configured source layer with all your master overlays and use that as a base to make another scene, you change anything on the master source and it automatically updates on all the other scenes - super powerful and helps with rapidly prototyping looks and styles. I love the combination of creativity flow you get when you take a piece of hardware, make it talk to your computer and then add your layer of creative sprinkles over the top of it - that's how i feel about using OBS, it's a fantastic piece of free open source software that anyone can download and use for absolutely free.
