Free Animated Lower Thirds with Dockable Control Panel v.1.6

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


Yes, I did that. The plug-in doesn't display anything on my screen.
 
OH NO - I wanted to export the lower thirds settings as scott explained I hit export copied the text in a texteditor and saved it as a LowerThirdExport.json - then I reset everything and hit import chose the .json - but nothing happens.
It´s on mac not windows!

So I lost all my settings with 20 memory slots :-(

its there something special I have to be aware of?
 
I solved the issue where exporting as .json does not work.

SOLUTION: it is mac-dependant - I copied the text to a windows machine - saved it there as .json and that worked without issues.
Strange - I used "TextEdit" on mac - I even downloaded another plaintext editor - but the plugin was unable to import from the file. With windows it worked as explained. Case closed
 
Is anybody using auto-advance successfully on more than one LT? I want to use it on the first and second LTs, but it only works on the first one.
 
Yes, I did that. The plug-in doesn't display anything on my screen.
Are you using a Mac by any chance? If so, scroll back a little, I think I saw something about a setting of the browser configuration that needs to be check/unchecked for this to work on that platform. Sorry, I use Windows.

Here is a screenshot of the two LTs. Auto-advance is turned on for both. It works with Hymns, but not with Readings:

No, I use Windows. If I can't fix this issue I will fully reinstall OBS and see if the ALT will work again.
 
I am on windows 11, I did the file:/// steps and that didn't work until I right click on the dock and click refresh, once I did this my setting showed up and plugin started working.

I can confirm this Method works - Uncheck the Local File Checkbox - open the Browser-Source.html in the Animated-Lower-Thirds Folder Location in your browser and copy the entire URL. and Paste it in the URL location for your Lower Thirds Browser Source in OBS. Click Ok and your Lower Thirds should once again work...

Hope This Help you like it did me :D Thank you WoodCraftbyOwen!
Works!!!
 
Hi there!

I really like the concept of this dock! I tried this on my Mac but I can't seem to make it work. I already got it on my OBS Docks but can't make the Lower Thirds [1] to get to blue even I turned the main settings On already (blue). The Lower Third [1] always turns red every time I turn it on.

It's a lot of material, but if you haven't already I'd suggest first skimming this entire thread as it appears there are multiple causes for the behavior you describe. For one thing, I don't think it will work if you don't have text entered on both lines. I have one LT where I want one line only, so I put just a space on the other line and that worked. I use Macs a lot, but not for OBS. There has been quite a lot of discussion of Mac problems here however. Good luck.

I also used both lines actually. And I also tried using the path name from the URL in the browser as the URL when you place it on the dock. The red mark on the Lower Third [1] just won't turn blue. I tried filling everything out, taking the default CSS and taking it out too.. Unfortunately, nothing really seems to work.
 
Hi!

I still have the issue with ALT. What I've done so far:
- Performed a back-up of the OBS;
- Downloaded the latest version of OBS(Windows);
- Uninstalled OBS;
- Reinstalled OBS(latest version);
- Reinstalled and configured Animated Lower Thirds.

The result is the same: Animated Lower Thirds is not displaying/showing anything on the screen, despite the fact that the LT1 turns blue. Refreshing doesn't help at all.

I think this issue appeared after Browser was upgraded to whatever version is now and after the massive modifications in OBS.

Below you can see some screen shots taken before reinstalling OBS. As you can see ALT is not displaying/showing anything on the screen.

Any idea or help is appreciated.

Thank you.

Not sure whether this has anything to do with your problem, but I recall instructions that said to delete everything in the source properties Custom CSS field. I would copy and paste somewhere first so you can easily get it back.

True, there are instructions that are saying to delete the CSS inside the Custom CSS field. I deleted the CSS code but the issue is still there. So, it appears that has nothing to do with the CSS code inside the field.
 
Howdy, folks!

I'd like to add to the previous questions about adding fonts. I have a rather specific one I want to use, and I have it installed on my computer. I'd love to know if there's way to add it in to the list of available fonts. (I saw a youtube video that mentioned installing from fonts.google.com, but the font I need is not listed there.)

I *LOVE* this plugin, BTW. I've worked out hotkeys for selecting memory slots in the 4 LT sections, then activating any of the LTs- and programmed this into my Stream Deck. With just two presses of a button, I can have any one of 40 different lower thirds pop into my video. AWESOME!

Be well

Hi guys!
Finally, today I was able to solve my issue with ALT.
The "magic" solution was to disable Browser Hardware Acceleration. I still don't know why this didn't worked previously.
Maybe someone from OBS dev team will look into this small issue and fix it.
 
One thing I liked about the way I used to do lower thirds for our church stream is that they got their content from text files on our Google Drive that I could prepare from home ahead of time. I understand that this Animated Lower Thirds cannot (yet) do this. Is there any way I can prepare these with OBS at home and then transfer a file or files to the church OBS computer so they are ready to go?
