1:20 Nested Soundboard Scenes! 3:40 Nested Scenes for Cameras 5:20 Nested Background and Overlays 7:35 Putting together a live stream This is super useful to me as a streaming musician and music educator! Wow thank you!
Mike - I mentioned you one day to a friend and I explained that you present concepts in a very intelligent, fast, and detailed manner. But what really sets you apart is that you give us more. You really show us how to put the technology to work so we can build towards a satisfying final result. Keep up the great work, and thank you!
Why I haven’t been doing this since the beginning, Ill never understand. I spent 2 days completely redoing my entire stream using all nested scenes. Was a lot of work, but totally worth it. Thanks for giving me the push to do so. OBS life just got easier and more organized!! Thank you!!
I saw the title and was like, "clickbait?" but nope. This video totally delivered on its promise. This will solve several problems I have been dealing with in my OBS setup. Thanks!
I'm new to OBS, well to all of it quite frankly. This was a lot of info tucked into to 13 minutes that I will need to slowly deconstruct to understand because I'm a regular everyday, average moron! But a huge help none the less. Thank You!!
Makes me think it might be handy if they created some sort of folder structure in scenes - so that instead of just using a naming convention to keep track of your nested scenes, you could put them in a folder, then collapse the folder to free up space in the list.
Right? I've been thinking that myself. I love being really organized and "clean" in my layouts, and I don't just stream, so I need around 5 different Scene setups depending on what I'm doing (game streaming, recording tv show episodes, having a Zoom conference, etc) and without being able to organize scenes, this becomes cluttered and problematic.
I was browsing the internet while waiting for work.. and I have to say I love the fundamentals you implement in your videos, they're fun, informative, keeps your attention, great thumbnail. Keep up the good work, you never know where this will take you. Take care.
I've been a subscriber for over a year. The thumbnail for this video appeared on my homepage. At first glance, it appeared that you were flipping the bird. I laughed so hard that I had to come give it a view and like. Hope the new year is treating you well. Peace
Damn mike! I been using obs for years and never knew about nested scenes! Also your mask and animated big effects are so cool and simple!! Implementing these today, thank you!
Thanks Nick. Your videos early on and your kindness and guidance several times since, have made a big impact on me. Thank you for that. You are the perfect example of what an ‘influencer’ should be, and i hope to try to uphold the same kindness and values that you have shown me, with my audience.
I love watching some of my idols lifting each other up and supporting and promoting the community. Thanks 🙏 to each of you incredibly helpful RUclipsrs!!
This is really good information for people new to OBS. However, I would like to add just one thing. When doing a nested camera source, I think best practice is to always put the camera in a Group. Then apply filters to the group instead of the camera source. Because you may want to use that same camera source in another scene and not have those filters on it. But since you can't double dip a camera source, you are forced to use the same one. For example, I have my regular, green screened camera for regular gaming scenes. But I also have a scene where the green screen isn't applied, is full screen, shows the entire room, and I instead have some localized gaussian blur. For me to be able to do that, I need to have the camera source inside of a Group with the filters on the group instead of the camera. This works because any sources contained within a group will inherit any filters applied to the Group, but does not apply those filters directly to the source so it can be freely used in other scenes as well.
I’ve been watching your channel grow since the beginning.... and it makes me so happy to see you close to 100k subscribers! You’ll have 1 million in the blink of an eye! Thank you for all you’ve taught me 🙏🏼 Keep on keeping on!
One thing I use nested scenes for extensively is source abstraction. I select a source, full-screen it, then subsequent scenes help with making it the right size and compositing into the final scene. What could be easier? Another thing I use it for is to reuse my scene collections between RUclips and Twitch, allowing me to set visibility for overlays between both services. That way, I make changes without having to worry about changing other scene sets to match. The possibilities are endless!
This is absolutely fantastic! My scenes get so overloaded and i end up re-doing the same things over and over; this is brilliant! I'm reworking my layouts right now anyway, and will definitely make use of this! Thanks, great video, and new sub!
Great job! I've learned about nested scenes from other creators. The thing is I had to watch multiple videos to get the info that I needed. Here we have one great video that has everything you need to start you off in OBS. You've easily made me subscribe and I have also clicked that bell. Looking forward to watching more of your videos!
Just chiming in to remind streamers that OBS, Wirecast, vMix, et al. are designed to consolidate production segments (switcher, keying, audio, L/thirds.) What makes a great stream is control of the delivery. Copying and pasting an RTMP target and key is not a streaming plan. The other side of this is the entire chain associated with the egress from streaming computers such as the protocols, transcoders, wide area packet losses, jitter correction, B frames, packet structures... there's a lot more to this and all of it needs to be visible and knowing these will go a long way towards mitigating freezing, tearing, bufering, etc. As an example, it is possible to use SRT and RIST, then convert the stream into RTMP(s) at point-blank into stream targets with high bitrates.
When you make the intermission scene using alt cropped the animated boarder off the blue background, shift would re-size and keep the boarder there instead I believe
Interesting look at nested scenes. I would suggest a word of warning about using them, however. When you created the blue background with the video under it to add some motion, you created it to fill the screen (1920x1080 probably). You then took that nested scene and used it twice in the BRB or intermission scene, which is also fine. However, in the Intermission scene you did not merely resize the blue scene with the animation, you also cropped it. It seems to me that cropping the nested scenes in any direction crops out the animated video border that was shown. The animation got cropped out of the portion where you added the "Intermission" text, for instance. That kind of defeated the purpose of having the nested scene. It just became a blue rectangle. So, rescaling or resizing might work in that instance, but cropping probably would not. I just wanted to point that out. I enjoy your videos and your enthusiasm.
The edges are cropped only on the edge that he cropped it so some of the edges still have the animation. I believe this was the intention to add variety to the scene.
New to OBS and fed up with shoddy powerpoints over zoom. nested scenes looks like a great place to start for me, Thanks so much! Shane, Tipperary, Ireland
when you're editing the 'intermission' scene i think what your doing with the background scene is transforming it, not cropping exactly. Thanks for this video, I've always struggled with sharing element of scenes and modifying them. Now I know better.
I'm getting emotional whiplash from you shouting in between your instructional content and deadpan instructions! The instructional part is really good though and I can't wait to put some of this stuff to good use!
@@MichaelFeyrerJryeah, i think it depends on the sources as i mentioned. simple nests work fine but when i do shows, i am doing some processor heavy sources in which when nested only increase the load. but for the normal user just doing images or text, maybe lower thirds and such, yeah they should be fine.
what is the main advantage using nested scenes compared to grouping of scene-elements? With a group of elements, one could also move or resize the entire group in 1 go
Great Vid. Thanks for the info, almost instantly I learned some new stuff. Just a thing. When you use ALT to resize you are CUTTING the view off. So you were losing the animated edges whenever you use the ALT resize. You can SHIFT resize for what you were trying to accomplish a little better I think. Which just brings in one side, although is distorts is a bit, you'd keep the animated background. :)
This is wonderful information thank you very much great stuff here. The only thing missing not that it needs to be in the video is maybe where you get the overlay stuff from and if the save format matter thank you 🙏
In your soundboard video you use a different setup. You bind the restart function in that video to control the sounds and don't hide the media. So do I bind show/hide to a key and press the key twice to use the soundboard in this video?
Do you think this helps with CPU? I noticed I use a lot of CPU occasionally from my browser sources. So if I instead nest my alerts, instead of adding an “existing” browser source to each scene, will it use the cpu more efficiently? I wonder…
Will you get feedback or echoing if you have the audio set to "Monitor and Output"? Will your mic pick up the sound from the board if you aren't wearing headphones?
If you are monitoring any audio you will get feedback or echo if it comes through your speakers. You have to monitor with an earpiece or headphones to avoid that.
u should consider building these on streamelements, it saves on obs using too much system CPU, you can do all the same things in SE and just import the browser source to your obs! for those who dont have dedicated streaming PC's its a huge saver to make crazy good stuff without taxing your system to death!

These tips are going to come in handy. I’m in the process of transferring everything from slobs to obs. Thank you so much for making things like this.
I did a video on transferring you may want to check out. It automates everything.
@@MichaelFeyrerJr I’ll check it out
This is so helpful, 100% getting bookmarked for later use. I no longer need to use Streamlabs and pay for all these animated backgrounds THANK YOU.
Glad to help.
We use OBS for our church live stream. Thanks so much for the tips you offer, and the clarity of explaining them.
Please, keep up the good work!
Thanks. Glad to help
you have an upbeat personality and dont talk down to your audience, thats why i keep watching your channel... plus you have a ton of helpful tips.

I keep finding helpful videos from you. I am still watching them and learning. Thank you.
Amazing how simple all of these are! Thanks to YT for putting your vid in my suggested! Already subbed and liked!
10:55 I think you shouldn't have cropped it, because you lose those beautiful edge effects. You could just deform it, so the edges stay intact.
Great video Mike!!
I've been using nested scenes for a little over a year now, this is a great explanation on how to do it!
Thanks

Dude thanks. Just thanks. I needed this

Why dont u stop making videos
Im so proud❤
I like how people never stop their RUclips
Keep it up💫❤ you can do it
Thanks. I think.

Reasons for Nested Scenes: Avoid repetition and Simplicity. SOUNDS PERFECT. Will definitely put this feature to use.
I love to use them. Makes life easy.
Thanks for all your tips and tricks!
Glad to help
I love nested scenes but they bog down a computer if you dont have something that will handle it depending on your sources
Yeah I dont think that’s the case. Im using old junk and it doesn’t effect it at all. Maybe you are using some sources that are not optimized?
@@MichaelFeyrerJryeah, i think it depends on the sources as i mentioned. simple nests work fine but when i do shows, i am doing some processor heavy sources in which when nested only increase the load. but for the normal user just doing images or text, maybe lower thirds and such, yeah they should be fine.
I use video sources, alerts, display captures. Pretty much anything. As long as the sources are optimized.
@@MichaelFeyrerJr optimizing sources is critical but the filters is what kills it if you use too many.
what is the main advantage using nested scenes compared to grouping of scene-elements? With a group of elements, one could also move or resize the entire group in 1 go
With nested scenes you only need to create them once. Then you can use them over and over with no work at all.
@@MichaelFeyrerJr In addition, any time you want to make a change, you only make the change once and it propagates to everywhere the scene is used.
Early boyz where u at? Haven't watched the video yet but I'm sure it's gonna be a banger

OBS should add scene management.. i've got hundreds of these scenes.. now i have to delete everything one by one. -_-

If you are monitoring any audio you will get feedback or echo if it comes through your speakers. You have to monitor with an earpiece or headphones to avoid that.
Great video, thank you. What is the camera overlay you are using? I like that random camera window shape.
u should consider building these on streamelements, it saves on obs using too much system CPU, you can do all the same things in SE and just import the browser source to your obs! for those who dont have dedicated streaming PC's its a huge saver to make crazy good stuff without taxing your system to death!
Got a question. This might sound silly but how is this different from just adding sources into a group? BTW I love your content
You can’t add groups to other scenes. Once you create a nested scene you can use it over and over.
You are doing great! Thank you for the tips.
