Question / Help Filter Part of the Display

[Spartakill]

So I am capturing 2 different parts of my display and I want to make one of the parts a bit transparent but I want to leave the other part untouched. When I add the chroma key filter and change the opacity it changes it for the entire display but I only want it to change one part. How do I do this?

You would need to use a mask filter.

If you wish two same sources - apply filters to scenes and add this scenes as sources.

I applied the filter to a scene but how do you add the scene as a source?

Don't worry about that, he's just confused. Use the mask filter to set the transparency where you want it.

it looks like the mask is only for images? what I want is to basically make the chat transparent like this http://i.imgur.com/MMd1Llj.png

If it's only a specific source you're trying to make transparent, use the color correction filter.

EDIT: That said, you should be using something like KapChat for Twitch chat (if that's your actual goal) which has built-in transparency options when you configure it.

the problem is when i use that it filters everything on the display so the gameplay will look weird. http://i.imgur.com/B9UDfS4.png it uses the filter on the gameplay too but I want only the chat.

I'm confused. Can you post a log so I can see how you're configuring your scenes?

the scene called twitch1 is the one i am trying to use

 

[Fenrir]

Yeah.. don't use display capture. That's the worst possible way you could be doing this. Use Game Capture for your games, and then Window Capture for the apps. If you're trying to capture the chat in a web page, use Browser Source and add the chat URL there instead.

oh i didn't explain it but what I am doing is recording stream highlights for a friend for his youtube. so I am recording from his vods and I want to have the gameplay full screen with the chat a little bit transparent over it like in the first pic i posted.

 

[Fenrir]

Add the chat as a window capture then
