I just figured it out, instead of using the local directory use the URL directory (you can find the path through your default browser) the path should read "File:///" then the local path. Do this for both the custom dock and the source path and it should work...did for me

It has to do with OBS 27.2 update....

This seems to apply to those who's lower third has disappeared. Mine has never appeared nor have I been able to get the red ring of doom to turn blue on any of the lower thirds. I really appreciate the help, especially on a Sunday.It has to do with OBS 27.2 update....

In your screenshot you have only the first line filled in with "William." I think you might need to enter text in both lines for it to work. Also, it doesn't appear that you have put it in a memory slot (all of them are still black). The way this works is sort of bass-ackwards: you enter the text you want in the first and second lines, and then you click one of the memory slots to assign it to that slot. Think of it as clicking "Save." Could you also expand the time options at the bottom of the LT before taking the screenshot? There is a padlock icon there that needs to be in the unlocked state for things to work right, at least in my setup.
Many thanks for this fine tool. I used it this morning for streaming our church service and it looked great. The two problems I've posted about remain, however: I can't get the auto-advance to work in any LTs except the first one, and I can't prepare these from home ahead of time because it's not capable of getting its content from text files on Google Drive. If those two things were fixed, I would go from happy camper to ecstatic RVer.

I was actually curious on how to add a style to this specific plugin this forum thread is about, based on HTML+CSS, but ok.
But in regards to your suggestion If I were to create video sources, I guess I'd have to beforehand create one for each person/name right? And set them as separate sources and I guess, bind hotkeys to toggle them, is that what you mean?
Btw, videos can be rendered in the webm-format with a transparent background, so no need for chroma keying.

Hi! After updating to the latest version (27.2.3) the Animated Lower Thirds is not working even if I changed the format of the location (from: D:/AnimatedLowerThirds to: file:///D:/AnimatedLowerThirds).
I did a reset on Animated Lower Thirds and started again but without success.
Can anyone tell me if it's working on latest version?
Thank you

It's working OK for me. Take a look at Scott Fichter's tutorials on youtube and you will find the solution there. Additionally, in my case the lower third settings were wiped out and I had to re-enter them.

Did you disable "Local" file? The "file:///" is a URL so you need to make sure you are entering this where it says URL.

HELP!!!
I tried for hours - without success. I did configure the plugin on my office iMac and on my MacBook - but cannot get it to run on my other Imac - I do have my MacBook right besides my imac and I have exactly configured everything identical.
The buttons get blue in the control-panel but absolutely nothing is showing up on the screen.
I post all settings I have used - it´s driving me mad - why does it work on two other macs but not on this one?? Any tips?

Never mind, folks. The answer is yes. You have to go into the html file and modify the font list.

I've never researched modifying the styles. Hmmm, that would be a killer tutorial. LOL, it seems like every time I talk with someone, a new video tutorial reveals itself. A friend of mine said to me, "Dude, are you scared that you'll run out of tutorial ideas" I replied NO.
Yes, if you produce video LTs where the text is part of the video, you will have to make two for each person, BUT There is a way to combine the power of a video and a text source. It takes two plugins to make it happen, and it's involved, but you will learn epic stuff with OBS. Here's the tutorial https://youtu.be/JzCMBWWpNxg. The gist of the video uses the Advanced Scene to stop a lower third video, then the Move transition reveals the text source, then time passes, and the text goes away, and the lower third video is restarted, and the LT vanishes. You'll love the tutorial. It's killer.
FYI: VP9 is the best, but there is a tiny bit more CPU/GPU usage to run those videos. If you use an uncompressed AVI, there is virtually zero decode CPU/GPU usage. It's incredible. Best wishes homie.
