Question / Help Font coloring in copied scenes.

[JanH]

Hi all,

I am confused, not informed probably .....
I have copied a scene with various Streamlab alerts and want to color the font differently then copied over from the original scene. Changing the font color changes it in both scenes. Adding a color filter does the same. Correct?

Is this because I copied the scene? When building the alerts in the copied scene new, does it disconnect with the previous scene? Or does a rename do the trick, or ........

Thanks in advance.
Cheers, Jan.

All sources are global.
So, you change one, all copies change.

Try this:

Create a scene only with that source... scene 1 (StramlabsAlerts1 for your case)
Create another scne with same source ... scene 2 (StreamlabsAlerts2)

Now Scene 1 and Scene 2 can be used as sources and you can apply diferent filters.
It´s a kind of encapsulation.

Never knew this. My bad.
Thanks for the support. Works perfect. But only in OBS Studio.
OBS classic still allows the different font colors on various (text) sources

This does not work, I am using OBS Studio 20.1.1

Added a Scene "fortnite1"
Added a source "FortniteGame">game capture>FortniteClient.exe

Added Scene "fortnite2"
Added a source>Existing>"FortniteGame"
Added a filter to "FortniteGame" to make the color of the game grayscale.

When I go back to Scene "fortnite1" the filter is applied to the gamecapture source.

Add filter to SCENE fortnite2.

You are adding filter to game capture ( global source)
