if you've been on this channel for any amount of time you've probably heard me talk about youtube
studio it's almost every other video at this point but that's because they just keep on coming out
with cool new stuff today's video is all about what will probably be the most important update
that v tube studio might ever have their api integration is out of beta and for those who
have no idea what that actually means don't worry i'm about to give you a whole lot of reasons to
be excited but first subscribe drop a like or better yet join our community discord helps
me out a ton and you'll know about these kind of updates a lot sooner now i'm not gonna go
over what an api is because honestly it's not really that important to understand and
i couldn't give you a good definition anyways what i can tell you is what it enables custom programs
can now connect to youtube studio to modify your avatar scene and even movement parameters to do
new and unique things in the short time it's been available we've seen models change color
when mario is being played using a tablet for avatar tracking custom channel point redeems
chat integration for youtube and twitch and even finger tracking starting to sound just a little
bit cool we also have some new quality of life adjustments and even a new lighting filter to
play around with so without further ado let's dive into the new updates we're going to start
off with the feature that several people have been asking for you can now launch and control multiple
instances of youtube studio with a single webcam so lets you animate several avatars at once which
is extremely useful for model demos video testing or just pure chaos to access this you'll go to the
first tab of settings and there you'll find the start v2 studio button which when you click it
will launch a new instance from there you can go to webcam settings and activate your webcam you'll
now be controlling multiple avatars with just one webcam to do this with a phone it's just a little
more complicated if you're going to use a network connection you simply open up a new instance of
youtube studio and change the port number to be one higher pretty simple if you're using a usb
connection you'll first need to make sure that youtube studio was run as an administrator then
you'll start a new instance and turn off the usb connection for that new window and turn
on the network connection instead you'll need to make sure that both the usb connected instance
and the network connected instance have the same port number otherwise this won't work however if
you want to add even more instances after that they will need to have sequentially increasing
numbers due to how the program tries to detect cameras another new feature that i personally
have wanted is the ability to filter parameters this makes finding and adjusting everything about
the model so much easier want your mouth to be closed change the mouth open parameter want your
body to rotate more change your body rotation x parameter gone are the days of mindless scrolling
to find out what you're looking for so feel free to experiment with the knowledge that you
can locate what you changed easily something that's really awesome to international users
is the addition of community driven translations for a bunch of new languages you even get to see
who translated them you can swap the language by clicking on the button in the top right hand
corner and i'm so excited for everyone who now gets to use this in their native language next
as mentioned before we now have custom plugins that can integrate with youtube studio i know
you've heard me talk about this before but it's finally out of beta and is now fully supported
to turn this setting on simply go to settings and scroll down to the api section once it's turned on
you can now authenticate youtube studio with whatever plugins you like here's a list of some
directly from the developer of youtube studio lots of great options here and you should check back
often to see what newcomers bring to the table if you decide you no longer want an
app connected you can remove it by clicking on remove plugins i mentioned some of the
use cases in the opening of the video but let me explain everything these plugins can currently do
move rotate and scale your model change the colors of every individual piece of your model
swap models access hotkeys and backgrounds and inject new tracking parameters into the program
this is how someone was able to use a tablet pen to control their model perhaps the biggest selling
point of all this though is that fancy programs like lioren board or obs plugins that let you
modify things on stream can now also tie into v2 studio and this is only going to get better
as people add more functions another huge portion of this update is the ability to send your facial
tracking data from v tube studio directly into vc face this makes facial tracking so much
easier because we can tie everything all into one ecosystem to access this there is a new option in
the mobile version of youtube studio called vc face config simply turn it on click show iplist
copy your ip address and then go into vc pace from here you'll go into settings general settings and
scroll until you find the i facial mocap section turn it on activate all the receive features
copy the ip from earlier and you're good to go now this can act a little weird so i recommend
running both v tube studio and vc face in admin you'll also need to make sure that vc face has
been allowed through your firewall we're going to round things off with the new display lighting
filter this suggests the color tint of your model based on either the display or window you select
that's a whole new level of immersion when you're watching videos gaming or even just doing artwork
the setting can be found on the second tab towards the bottom you can turn display lighting on or
off select any display for it to work off of or you can choose a window instead in addition you
can adjust the brightness overlay and smoothing options which will adjust how bright your model is
how much color is being used and how quickly that color will change you can also choose to affect
items and finally you can cancel out some of the colors by clicking on their circle be warned if
you select all of them you're essentially just turning your avatar into a shadow so this is
editing rayleis from the future who forgot to mention that you can also set screen overlays to
their own hotkey just wanted to throw that out there i'm genuinely impressed by how much this
program has changed improved and enhanced my live 2d experience and i'm so hopeful for the future
no this wasn't sponsored though at this point i really feel like i should be hey denshi hit
me up let's talk if you enjoyed this video you know what to do and i'll see you all next time
