Color schemes?

OP3

I use OBS to stream live sports and often stream for different teams that have different color schemes. Is there a way to have text and other assets in OBS reliant on a color scheme rather than colors set for each asset independently?

You can group sources and apply filter to whole group.
Thanks for the response, the way that I use colors is most teams have two colors so I have a main font color plus an additional outline color. can this be accomplished using groups to apply to all text within a group? Thanks again.

And to be clear, these text assets are in all different scenes and all of them have 2 colors, the main color and an outline color. Would be preferential to change them all in a file in the same manner than text can be read from a file. I don't think applying a group filter will work.

I can imaging that it is possible via the standalone filters, like:
that will do outline (Stroke) as a filter (effect), not as "properties" of a source.

But it is all depends on complexity of your assets and scenes. Maybe Scene Collections with different presets are easier to manage in this case.
Or maybe there is some score board in Resources section of the forum that will meet all your needs.

It's literally just text fields that are read from automatically populated files when switching in between games from one team to another. Trying to use the same scene collection so each time I make a change to my main broadcast scene I don't have to replicate the entire process X times for other teams.

Examples of different scenes.... like:
-A lower third overlay showing the next game
-Broadcast team names
-Instant replay special text messages
-Sponsor scene text information
etc

Each of these have a set of graphics or images or live / replay views with text in the primary team color (for the base text) and the secondary for the text outline. The scoreboard is a standalone exe so that is gtg.

Stroke glow sounds like it will work for the outline but not the primary color... If there were a filter to change the text color that would most definitely work as I could mass copy the filters to all that applied.

Thanks again for the dialogue

Just 2 filters. First filter is Color Correction (with Color Multiply), second filter is Stroke. Right order of filters and both colors (base and outline) of the text will be modified.

I tried this out and I love it, thank you so much!!! I've got to figure out how to use these filters throughout all my scenes in OBS because it would be hell to set / unset 10-15 different filter sets.
Thanks again for the advice!!
