hello and welcome it's machine day and i hope you're doing really really well in this video
i'm going to show you exactly how you can export all of your scenes and sources from streamlabs obs
and import them into obs studios if you're considering moving from streamlabs obs to
any software you'll find this very useful uh of course if you're specifically looking to move to
obs studio then you'll find this the perfect video for you so in the video i'll show you
exactly how you can export all of the scenes save them and then re-import them into obs
studio almost as though they were there all along and it works pretty well as well so
if you find this useful please feel free to like the video it definitely helps me and also anyone
else looking for this video as well because it'll improve the visibility feel free to subscribe to
the channel i do help other streamers to level up their streams with the content that i do on
both twitch and youtube finally if you want to check me out on twitch feel free to give me a
shout or ask me any questions whatever twitch.tv forward slash machine dana okay let's do this
okay so first we need to ready up the export from streamlabs obs don't get confused by this cog here
using the uh scene collections you can export overlay file types slobs have got a warning
here this features intended for overlay designers to export their work to our theme store or export
their work for our theme store use at your own risk so i think this is a tool for people
to be able to design layouts and stuff within streamlabs obs and then export them to the theme
tool there may be ways that you can use these overlay files to import into other programs but
when i tested this with streamlabs obs and obs studio exporting it as an overlay file simply put
it as a dot overlay and the imports for obs studio are json files or xml files that kind of thing so
even though you can see the file here exported cleanly i could then upload that probably
into the theme shop for streamlabs online however i would not be able to import this into obs studio
so let's just ignore that for the time being what we need to do here click on your scene collections
here remember these are your sources these are scenes and there are multiple scene profiles
that you've got here for any themes that you've installed on streamlabs obs and of course you can
interchange between them for example i used to use a synthwave one i used to use an award spot trick
these are different ones that i've used over the course of time and i like to keep my stream fresh
by installing new theme profiles so this is the one here the queen neon's the one i'm currently
using and i want to make sure that that's the one i import into obs studio i just want to go into
manage all we can see here is an indication that this is the one that's active this is the
one that we want to be importing i'm just going to rename this to make sure that it looks appropriate
i've named it obs import here make sure it's the exact one that i want because it can get
there's quite a lot of files in obs studio that you see click done on that that's the streamlabs
obs piece done really so we can minimize that and open up obs studio so as default within
obs studio you don't have any scenes or sources you have the one simple scene which is where you
are supposed to build your scenes and sources from of course we're gonna take the short route
and import all that information but just to show here that that's where the information will be for
your scenes and this is where it'll be for your sources we're gonna click on sync collections here
we've got one untitled scene collection and that's the selected scene collection that we're currently
active on as indicated by the tick here we click import obs studios by default will look for known
locations of where streamlabs obs may have placed scene collections and as you can see here the coin
neon obs import is here now i can choose to click multiple profiles here to import them if i want
to do that i'm just going to import the single profile for the time being i'm going to click
import initially nothing really happens but first you have to click on scene collections and now
select the newly imported scene collection now what you've got to bear in mind here is all the
files for streamlabs obs are already localized on your machine so importing them is not necessarily
a case of moving them a file transfer process it's simply a process of pointing obs studio to the
files that already exist and that's why it doesn't take long to do this as you can see here we've got
all the different scenes and the sources you still may need to configure your cam and your microphone
and all the other stuff so you strap in you're probably going to need at least 5 to 15 minutes
to sort all of that stuff out but broadly that's the work done now and that's taking out a lot of
meat and bones of the work that needs to be done to move over from streamlabs obs to obs studio
there you have it how you can export from streamlabs obs into obs studio nice and easy
if you found this useful once again feel free to thumbs up feel free to subscribe and
have a wonderful day
you
