Installation Linux
  • Unzip the download
  • Copy to $HOME/.config/obs-studio/plugins
Properties
  • Match if the source name
    The sources must have the same kind of transformation (bounding box type and alignment).
    (This does not work in Studio mode with duplicate sources switched on)
    • contains the other source name
      "Camera" matches "Test Camera 1 [Filtered]"
    • with numbers removed from end matches the other source name
      "Camera 1" matches "Camera (2)"
    • with the last word removed matches the other source name
      "Camera one" matches "Camera two"
  • Matched items
    All items that have matching items in the scene your are coming from and are switching to.
  • Appearing items
    All items that have no matching item and are in to scene you are switching to.
  • Disappearing items
    All items that have no matching item and are in the scene you are coming from.
  • Easing
    • No easing
      Linear movement of the sources.
    • Ease in
      Eases the start of the movement of the sources.
    • Ease out
      Eases the end of the movement of the sources.
    • Ease in and out
      Eases the start and end of the movement of the sources.
  • Easing function
    See easings.net
  • Zoom
    New sources are zooming in on appearing and old sources are zooming out on disappearing, instead of staying the same size.
  • Position
    The position new sources are coming from an old sources are going to.
  • Curve
    The amount of curve for the path between the start and end position.
    • 0.00 is no curve.
    • Positive is curve away from canvas center.
    • Negative is curve towards canvas center.
  • Transition
    The transition used for the item.
    For matching items without a transition, the item switches half way the transition between the item in the scene its coming from and the item in the scene it is going to.
  • Transition scale type
    • Max only
      Scale to aspect ratio, but only to the maximum size of each source

    • Aspect
      Always scale the sources, but keep aspect ratio

    • Stretch
      Scale and stretch the sources to the size of the transition

Override filter
This filter can be added to a scene or a source to override the move transition for a source of the scene or the source global.

Move Source filter
If you want to move sources without transitioning to an other scene check out this video:

Start trigger options are:
  • None
    not started automatic, use a hotkey or set next move on an other move to start this move
  • Activate
    When the source becomes actively shown in the final mix
  • Deactivate
    When the source becomes not active, so not showing the final mix.
  • Show
    A source is considered showing if it’s being displayed anywhere at all, whether on a display context or on the final output
  • Hide
    When it is not showing anywhere
  • Enable
    When the eye icon in front of filter name is enabled.

As the rest of Exeldro plugins, it's perfect, and very feasible and stable! Many thanls for such a good work!!!
Sorry to rate terrible, but are any of these actually compatible with intel MacOS? I've tried time warp, move transition, and recursion. No zip files in any of the downloaded folders. The folders do contain packages, but after installation nothing shows up in OBS. So what is being downloaded to my computer?

For support use the discussion page or OBS discord.
Brilliant tool, not perfect and faultless but largely works very well for simple and complex use-cases
Exeldro is the man!!!
this version is very good keep it up exeldro
Excellent plugin! Works like magic, & while very easy to get the basics set up, allows for a massive amount of customization if you want to put some work in.
I already updated to version 2.7.2 and it has better functions, excellent fixes, exeldro
The Move Transition plug-in allows creative transitions in OBS and more. With the 2.7.2 update Move Transition can control the Insta360 link web cam . This opens up new options for creative camera control.
An amazing plugin from an amazing programmer.
I love this plugin!

That said, Exeldro you really need to add a "If you're using OBS version 27, you need to download version 2.6.1" at the top of the description (an alert like other plugin descriptions have). Without the warning, users assume that the latest version is backwards compatible with all OBS versions and not just with OBS 28+. It's frustrating when you download and install a plugin, see that it's not working, and having to search why this didn't work out of the box.
