Hello, my YouTube friends.
Today's video is sponsored by Envato Place it, but I'll tell you more
about that later.
You don't need anything to put on an epic stream with OBS, but there
are a few plugins that will easily transform your streams and make it
easier to manage.
Today I'm going to show you five plugins I can't live without in 2022.
So you know what?
Let's get to it.
Transitions make a scene flow better and look great.
And there are so many ways to use them.
The move transition plugin adds amazing transitions and so much more
to your live stream.
As the name move transition would imply the move transition allows you
to move assets around the screen when you switch scenes.
So the same assets can be moved and zoomed in and all that kind of
stuff.
It's really, really awesome, but it can do so much more.
You can actually move sources around a single scene like this, and
even zoom them in.
It is really, really cool stuff.
And not only that, but there is another thing that you can do.
I use the move transition to create animations in this menu here on
the right-hand side.
So it looks like it's actually animating when it moves from one panel
to the next, but in reality, that's just the move transition, making
it look animated, and it makes things like these menus so much easier.
Likes and comments are super easy things that you can do to help push
this video to a wider audience.
So take a second down below and let me know how I'm doing and hit that
subscribe button it's totally free.
And it really does help me continue to make content that helps you.
If you want to grow your channel, the best way to do it is with
recorded content.
The source record plugin gives you a lot of recording options to help
you really do this right.
What the source record plugin allows you to do is record multiple
video instances with their audio in their full resolution.
So in this case, I could record my camera and the game completely
separately with completely separate audio.
And that way later in post, when I decide, I want to put together a
video for the stuff that I might've used on my live stream, I have the
full camera in 1920 by 10 80 or whatever the camera is.
And I also have the full video game footage in whatever resolution it
is.
And the beautiful thing is because they're recorded at the exact same
time, it's really easy to line them up in an editor and create fun and
interesting videos using the footage that we already got in our live
stream.
The source record is an absolute dream for that.
It allows you to record as many sources as you want.
So if I had other sources in here like chat overlays or something like
that, we can record those separately.
They don't have to be included in the video, but also most people will
use a chat overlay and most folks will have alerts and that sort of
thing.
And you won't have that stuff with it's audio cluttering up the actual
video camera or the game footage so that you can use it later and
completely separately without having all of those other distractions
involved.
It allows you to completely create all original content with stuff
that you already did on your live stream.
It's absolutely incredible.
A video about live streaming tools wouldn't be complete without
today's sponsor Envato Place it.
I use Place it in every live stream for my weight screen, my countdown
timer, my branding bumper, as well as my logo and my channel banners.
And even some of the overlay assets.
They have everything a streamer could need all in one place.
Now I created my logo in just a few minutes by choosing from one of
the designs and then completely customizing everything from the color
graphics and placement to the text and the fonts and that logo can
easily be added to all the videos that you can build and use in all
kinds of different content that you might create for YouTube, like
live or recorded.
I absolutely love Envato Place it.
And you will too.

Supporting the sponsors that support this channel is a great way to
help me continue to make content that helps you.
So thanks.
Music and sound effects are great way to add personality to your
streams.
The soundboard plugin allows you to actually dock a little thing over
here on any location that you want on your screen.
And when you dock this in here, what you can do is add audio effects
or music or whatever you want right here to the menu on the left-hand
side.
So you just click the plus and you go in here, you name your music or
your sound effects, and you select the file that you want them to come
from.
And each individual, one of these gets added in, but you only have to
do it once this menu stays doc, and it allows you to use the music or
the sound effects that you select over here on the left hand side, in
any scene that you're in.
It's really cool.
You can adjust the volume on these.
You can set them up any way you want, and you have a really cool
soundboard sitting right over here or wherever you decide to place it.
You can just activate them by clicking on the buttons, really cool
stuff.
Running a stream can be extremely complicated.
And the less you have to worry about, the better.
And this plugin's really going to help you automate things.
The advanced scene switcher is an awesome tool.
You can create multiple scenes and set it up in the advance scene
switcher so that it can automatically switch in between scenes at
certain intervals or when certain things happen or with a certain hot
key.
However you want to set it up.
You can decide whether you want to switch between these scenes with
transitions, without transitions, how long you want it to wait, what
the order is that you want it to be.
All of these things you can do to set up the advanced scene switcher,
to make it a lot easier to manage your live stream.
It is really an incredible tool.
And if you haven't checked it out and you have a complex live stream,
you should definitely download it, check it out and see if you can
automate some of your live stream to things that you don't have to
worry about anymore.
It's really powerful.
And it gives you so many different options.
I absolutely love it.
There is one plugin to rule them all.
I do not ever stream without using it.
It just has so many features and functions I can't live without.
Of course, I'm talking about the stream FX plugin.
I did videos recently on some of the epic things you can do, but you
can remove the background of your videos without using a green screen.
You can also use face tracking and it will follow your face around
when you move around, your camera will move with you as if you had a
camera man, but you don't.
I also use it in every live stream to set up all of my different
camera masks.
For this I use this source mirror feature.
You couldn't possibly use your camera in all the different face cams
and shapes and different things if you weren't using source mirror,
the stream effects source mirror option allows you to create all
different kinds of really cool camera effects and still have your
original camera without it having any effects on it at all.
And of course, these features are on top of all the other incredible
things that are included in stream effects, like all kinds of filters
and everything else that you can use to transform pretty much any
asset.
Stream effects is a plugin that everyone should have.
It is so versatile and it does so many cool things that you could use
only this plugin and every live stream could be extremely creative and
fun and different and unique because there are just so many options
and features in the stream effects plugin.
Now I know that's five, but there are a couple of more worth
mentioning in there here, because they're PC only.
Win audio is a plugin that allows you to separate out all of your
different audio inputs so that you can control the volume separately,
decide when something is muted or anything else.
So you can add discord, game audio, Spotify audio, any other audio
that you want, like audio from a webpage, multiple microphones, you
can have all of these audio inputs in your OBS and control them
completely separately.
It's a game changing app.
If you're looking to do anything complex with the audio in your live
stream, I use it all the time to have a producer, able to speak in my
ear without the stream hearing it.
And other aspects of what I do.
I absolutely love Win audio, it is a fantastic tool.
This final one I want to mention is actually an app that I use on
every stream.
Twidget is an application that you should have.
The two biggest features you're going to find in Twidget that are
really easy, is the ability to display individual chat that you select
on screen to highlight it.
And the second thing is the ability to go ahead and create a chat box
and even customize it.
So it looks the way that you want so that you can have the entirety of
the chat displayed on your live stream.
It's really an awesome tool.
And of course, just like everything else on this list, it's totally
free.
And if you want to see more about Twidget you should check this video
