Hello friends,
I have to create a webtv channel for YouTube and I would like to create an interface as follows:

1) 2 webcams that can exchange time
2) a side movie for advertising
3) tikers taken from press agency rss
4) Weather forecast from site

Use the templates to be modified or which applications I can use together with OBS

Thanks for your help

It's not clear what you mean with interface and with templates. OBS Studio has a fixed interface and no such thing as templates.
In the end, it's your own task to implement the appearance ("corporate identity") of your stream. Nobody here in the forum knows your specific environment and demands.

You want a product like Vmix, something that comes with premade content that can be applied right out of the box. OBS does not have such a feature; individual users set up their own scenes and sources, and these cannot be exported to other users and used without modification.

Thanks for the replies, my request has not been understood:
I meant if they include the free distribution addons suitable for transmission and not for the OBS internal template, Of course I don't ask others to provide it but if products produced in this sense

Then it's still not clear what's your point.

Do you ask for support, because you don't understand how to do a certain task with OBS Studio?
Or do you ask for a feature, because it's not in OBS Studio but you'd like to have it?

In either case, give elaborate and specific points what you're looking for. Get to the point and explain.
  • I want to do <description of what you want to do in 2-3 sentences>
  • or: How can I do <description of what you want to do in 2-3 sentences>
  • You can see an example in application <other application> shown on web site <reference>
Don't simply use a name like "template" or "distribution addons", because we don't know what you mean with that. You may have a specific idea what is behind these descriptions, but these are no technical terms for OBS Studio, so we in this forum absolutely don't know what you are talking about.

As I understand your question, the answer is no. There is no ecosystem for either commercial or non-commercial plugins or addons to OBS that take a new installation to broadcast-ready within prebuilt content (lower thirds, etc).

For that you want a commercial product like Vmix.

Plugins for OBS generally provide functionality, not content (graphics, lower thirds, pre-assembled scenes/sources, etc).

Vmix and OBS are equivalents. They do many of the same jobs. Vmix is a commercial program that is not free. If you have and are using it, then you probably don't also need to use OBS. There are exceptions to this, but they would be specific to certain kinds of tasks. (For instance, using OBS and the NDI plugin you could send the output of OBS, either locally on a single machine or over a local network, to an instance of Vmix.)

I'm trying to get across that OBS is not, nor is it intended to be, a one-stop-shop, ready-out-of-the-box solution as you are asking for. It can do all of those things, but the interface elements necessary (lower thirds, graphics, etc) either have to be created by you or someone else. (Lots of people provide gaming-themed content similar to this for use with OBS or programs like this.

Vmix is a program made for use by broadcasters. It contains several templates for elements as you describe. If you were using that, you wouldn't need OBS.

The features that OBS has that Vmix does not are specific to gaming (local game application capture, for instance, or low latency RTMP streaming using FTL protocol to Mixer.com).
 
Can ODS be the source for the broadcast of vMix? Thank you

I think that for what you want, you need something more "professional" like vMix ( obviously it´s very expensive ) in order to broadcast live with it. I don´t know if you understand exactly the differences among running a youtube channel, which 99% of the content is from recorded, edited videos, and running a webTV which is a live channel that sometims uses recorded material. In the case of a live 24/7 channel, one could use all 3 platforms: vMix, Wirecast and OBS if this person knows what he is doing. I can broadcast using only OBS live and create my own bumpers, lower thirds, all TV stuff, but this learning took many years. This particular stuff is made on Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premiere. It takes days and weeks to produce some good material. When you have created all the assets, then you can use them live. In all 3 platforms, you can add lower thirds, make chroma key, adjust cameras and route the sound. You need to understand that OBS is basically a transmitter, it comes almost empty, and each one creates it´s own material, configuration, depending on the usage. On the other hand, vMix and Wirecast are more apropriate for a WebTV, but in any case, you´ll need to find someone to create ( pay ) to build your customized assets. In many TV channels, there are peoploe specialized in creating and keeping such material using Abobe Premiere and Adobe After Efffects. They work every day doing only that. When you say the word "template" reminds me of a broadcast template that we can purchase on videohive, which come with pre-made stuff that you need to adapt to your wevTV using Adobe after effects ( Not OBS ). I often use videohive stuff to run my news channel ( Sometimes live and most times recorded ). You can see the kind of thing that we can do using Adobe After Effects here:


Good luck !

Thanks for the reply, I found OBS more intuitive, even though I just installed vMix demo version much less intuitive.

@Dihelson Mendonca

Thanks for the complete explanation, I am an audiovisual producer and I know the Adobe package that I use daily, in this case my needs are for streaming. The example you sent me is classic, your suggestions like those of the friends who answered are precious for me, to evaluate the best solution and the choice of the most suitable product.

Now I will make evaluations on the indicated suggestions.

What a great group, thank you all for the rare availability

Thanks. If you find any better solution for your question, let us know. Perhaps adapting a videohive broadcast pack would be amazing. Good luck.
