Give the scene a name which lets you know what will be shown. To create a scene, click on the “+” underneath Scenes in OBS. We then create scenes for each overlay in our video. Since we always have an introduction overlay and an outro overlay, we create scenes for those. You’ll need a scene for each different overlay you plan to use. In order to create multiple transitions, you have to create multiple scenes. In my previous blog post about creating overlays, I showed how to create a scene in OBS. We use Canva for our overlays, which allows us to keep all of them together and makes them quick and easy to edit.
Overlays for video (1280×720, transparent). In order to do transitions, you will need multiple overlays to switch between. The first thing I’d suggest you do is to go back to our tutorial on creating overlays. It looks amazing and gives our videos a nice professional touch. If you’ve watched one of our Facebook Lives recently, you’ll have noticed our videos begin and end with a title screen which fades away to reveal our video. This week, I’m going to go one step further and explain how you can use multiple overlays together, to add transitions to your videos in real-time with OBS. To do this we use a free software named Open Broadcast Software (OBS). Over the past few weeks, I’ve shown you how to create overlays for your live videos and then how to set up a Facebook Live stream to use those overlays.
