0.4.1

This is a release with some small new features.

Changes from 0.4.0

  • PTZ: Add zoom control through obs-ptz
    The new zoom control requires obs-ptz v0.10.3 or later.
    For older version, only pan and tilt will move.

Changes from 0.3.1

  • Improvements for zoom control
    • Add attenuation property for zoom (face tracker filter only)
    • Separate LPF parameter for zoom (both face tracker filter and PTZ)

Due to this change, all users will experience different behavior of the zoom control.
If exactly same behavior is needed, set Attenuation (Z) to 0 dB and Track LPF for Td (Z) to same value as Track LPF for Td (X, Y).

Limitation

  • Binaries for macOS and Ubuntu are not tested.
  • Currently the plugin works for one face. If there are two or more faces, the plugin might hover back and forth over the faces.
  • Transition with Duplicate Sources, the tracking may start from the initial condition. Recommended to disable Duplicated Sources so far.
  • Consumes a lot of CPU. It is recommended to have enough test beforehand to ensure it won't affect encoding.
  • There is no warranty for the results. Use at your own risk.
  • Deb package for Ubuntu requires OBS Studio 27 or later. Binary packages for Windows and macOS work with OBS Studio 26 or later.
  • I heard some anti-virus software detect the installer. If you see your anti-virus software alarms the installer, please file to issue page with the information of (a) anti-virus software and (b) type of the virus (either text or screen shot is ok).
    I'd like to note that all binaries are build on a Microsoft-hosted machine and the whole recipe is available on azure-pipelines.yml.
