Hello, my YouTube friends.
Today I want to show you a really cool plugin that allows you to
freeze your screen at the click of a hot key.
Now you can use this in all sorts of cool ways with filters and
stuffed, create some really cool effects.
Oh, and by the way, it's totally free.
Today I'm going to show you how to install it and get it set up so you
can start playing around with it too.
So let's get to it.
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 while you're there, if you're not please subscribe, it really does
help me continue to make content that helps you.
So thanks.
First, we need to install it in OBS and it's really easy.
This install is pretty easy.
The first thing we're going to do is go to this page.
The link is in the description, and we're going to go over here to the
right and click on download.
Then we're going to select the installer of our choosing.
In my case, it's going to be the Windows installer, but this is
available for Mac OS and Linux.
So we're just going to click our download button next to the one we
want.
It's going to download, and I'm going to go into my downloads
directory, right click on it and extract the files.
And I'm going to go into the actual extraction and double-click on
this installer.
Then I'm going to click more info and then run anyway.
And then I just want to verify that I am actually saving it or
installing it to the proper OBS location.
So whatever your OBS location is, it should be listed here.
Mine is on a different drive, but yours is probably in program files,
which would be C program files slash OBS dash studio.
Once you do that, all you have to do is click next and then yes, to
verify that it is the proper location and then click next and install.
Once you're done, you click finish and we now have the freeze frame
plugin completely installed.
Now let me show you how to use it to freeze frames in OBS.
So to add this to a scene is really easy.
I have two scenes here with a camera.
We're going to use the freeze frame on that camera.
So I'm actually using a nested scene.
I have three scenes with the camera.
Really this is the original scene, but you can apply this to a nested
scene, which will apply to everything in that nest.
So if I go and right click and go to filters, I can click the plus.
And then I'm going to go to freeze, click okay.
We have a bunch of options here, so I can click here obviously to
unfreeze me.
So when it's not visible, I'm not frozen.
Uh, you, you can, uh, set the duration and the refresh interval start
to start and end with a little bit of a delay if you want.
So, or zero is indefinite, but you could do it for one second or
however you want.
And so if I clicked it on, it would pause me for just a moment.
And then it unpauses me.
So you can set it for an interval if you like, and then you can create
a mask.
And this is kind of cool.
So let's say we wanted to do half, half, half a face.
We'll go to the 50% mark here.
And when I click the freeze button, now half of me is frozen and the
other half is not.
So you can set up to mask, anything you want, pretty cool.
And I'm going to unset that mask.
Let's move it all the way to the left.
So we're good to go.
Now we go and you can have what you want to activate these buttons on,
um, enable freeze for show disable freeze for hide, and then activate
or deactivate, however you want to set it up.
But, uh, that's the gist of how this works.
So let's go ahead and close this out and we can see, we have my frame.
I'm going to go down here into settings and we're going to go into hot
keys.
We just have to scroll down to our face cam and we can see enable
freeze or disable freeze.
And so let's put some hot keys in here.
We use the comma and we'll use the period.
That will work.
There we go.
So all I have to do is hit the comma and we freeze up.
And then if we hit the period, it unfreezes, and that is pretty much
how it works.
Now, just so you know, if I hit the comma and freeze up, when I go to
another scene, I'm using the same camera.
So I'm still going to be frozen.
All you have to do is hit that period or whatever your hot keys are,
and then you unfreeze.
So it's really simple.
It works really well.
And it's a lot of fun to use, and you can do all kinds of goofy things
with this, if you decide to you could theoretically freeze it, then go
to another scene where you can modify it and do all kinds of silly
things with filters.
The only limit is really your imagination on this one, but I do
absolutely love it because it's just a lot of fun.
You know what I mean?
I know you know what I mean.
Now, the only limit is your imagination with this one, you can use a
hot key to freeze the frame and switch scenes at the same time.
So that means that you can use a mirrored camera source to make
comments on the freeze frame, or you can do all kinds of absolutely
crazy effects on that freeze frame.
This one can be a lot of fun.
