what's up guys welcome back once again
to the gaming careers YouTube channel
today's video we're going back to
tutorials you'll be glad to know and we
are looking at how to apply a filter or
a lookup table within OBS or theme labs
OBS for your webcam now this might be
the first time you've ever heard of
look-up tables or filters but I'm sure
if you've used any app on your
smartphone in the last five years
Instagram snapchat even your camera
you're going to know about what filters
are there basically ways of adjusting
how a picture or a video looks by
applying slightly different effects to
the colors and you can get some really
cinematic and nice-looking shots and
we're gonna be doing that within OBS for
your webcam now probably one of the
hardest things about creating these
lists or filters is going on finding
them on the internet converting them
into the right format and then you apply
it to your webcam it doesn't look any
good so you go and try and find another
one I've taken that whole process out
for you and I have got 30 looks that you
can download and you can apply each one
find the one that suits you the best
I've tried to get a complete range so
that it suits all kinds of webcams and
environments all you have to do is
download and apply the looks and that is
what we're going to be looking at today
in this video okay so we're now at the
computer and as you can see I've got OBS
open this exact same process applies to
stream labs OBS maybe if I've got time
at the end of the video I'll also show
that but it's exactly the same cuz it's
part of the core OBS functionality so I
have my webcam fullscreen and I know
that I'm gonna get a comment on you know
your webcam looks amazing that's why
these looks look amazing yes that is
true I am using a proper camera
connected to an Elgato camelina but this
this process works exactly for any other
video capture device so if you've got a
webcam or you've got a camera connected
to something like a cam link this will
work just fine
also my advice as always if you want to
have a good looking shot with your
webcam is to have some lighting setup
but that's all for another video for all
intensive purposes this is my webcam
connected to OBS and I've got a full
screen you might have yours in the
bottom corner you know with your game in
the background but I just want to try
and get this example through so in the
description of this video
I have a pack of the 30 looks that I
put together for you guys and convert it
to the right format for OBS to use so if
you head down to the description click
that download the zip file and save that
somewhere on your computer once you do
you should have something like this
saved somewhere on your computer so you
just need to extract that using you know
7-zip or you know any unzipping program
I'm just going to extract it here to
this bowl there and if you go into that
folder I open it correctly you should
have these 30 lots and they just kind of
look like a grid of color that's exactly
what they should look like they're PNG s
which is what OBS uses and they've all
got some funny names I couldn't work out
what to name each of these looks so I
just went on a website and randomly
generated some surnames and used those I
don't know why I couldn't think of
anything inventive to call each one
because they they also up do the same
thing with different colors so it's hard
to hard to come up with the names I've
just given them surnames which i think
will work fine so these are all pngs
that we're going to apply as a filter to
OBS so if we head back to OBS and we
right-click on our webcam or our camera
source and head to filters we should get
this new box popping up so what you want
to do is you want to apply an effect
filter so if you come down here to the
effect filters and click the plus icon
we should have one which is called apply
dirt if we click that we can name the
lerp let's just leave it as a pilot and
then we get the option to browse to the
path of the look that we want to use as
well as set an amount so let's go to our
folder where we've just saved those
loads
it'll by default open up OBS is look
back it sort of has black and white red
isolated like really basic ones let's
just show as an example red isolated so
these are the five that come with OBS if
we take the red isolated one and apply
it you can see that it's sort of made a
lot of the image black and white and
sort of pulls out anything that is red
or kind of orangey
colors but we want to do one of the ones
that we've just got from our pack so if
you head to the folder where you
extracted it and choose any of them I
would probably suggest starting with the
first one and going through all 30 and
finding the one that you think looks
best for your image in your background
for my purposes let's go with
Swanson so if we click apply you can
instantly see the change that has had
I'm gonna move this over so you can see
it in full screen and I'm going to
toggle apply and taking it on and off
and you can see how much difference that
is making it so it's darkening a lot of
the highlights and it's making a whole
image I think looks a lot more
professional and sort of cinematic so as
I've said 30 listen here go and find one
that you think looks kind of ok what I
have done is I kind of created the lips
to be a bit overpowering because you can
actually turn down the amount that you
want the look to apply with in OBS so
some of them might really change your
image quite a lot but I kind of intended
for people to be able to turn them down
to a level as they think that's
reasonable this one actually looks quite
good fairly high so I'm gonna leave it a
nought point nine which means it's
applying 90% of the look through the
image and then you just click close and
that is it now my webcam source has this
Lert applied to it and it really is as
simple as that it's the exact same
process in stream labs OBS you just
right-click on your video source add the
filter and it's called alert you just
find the lit apply it choose how much
you want to apply and click OK so it's
the exact same process I don't think you
have any trouble following this tutorial
and using it in stream last OBS let me
know which look you guys liked the most
obviously I've named them separately so
that you guys can tell me which one
you're using I want to know which one of
these 30 is the most popular and which
looks good in your background so if you
have followed this tutorial and you're
using one of the lots that I have
provided for you do send me a tweet with
a screenshot of you know your webcam
with the LUT applied and let me know
which look that is I'd love to see how
many people are using these and which
one is the most popular if you guys
would like to see how to create your own
custom LUT using Photoshop or some
similar photo editing software then let
me know down in the comments because
obviously I've gone through that process
a bit for this video so if you have
enjoyed this video and you want to learn
how to make your own look and apply your
own sort of colors and filters let me
know down in the comments and that's
definitely a video that I will be review
