Question / Help I can't find my overlay file when trying to add it to sources

[Jamieob12]

I'm trying to add a twitch overlay to sources, but it doesn't show up when I'm looking through my files. In fact, none of my files do.

What file format is your overlay saved as?

What source type are you trying to add to Studio?

It's a png, and I'm trying to add an image.

 

[c3r1c3]

When you go to select the image, make sure that the file explorer is set to "All images" or "PNG" (the selector to the right of the "file name" area.)

If the above is set correctly, and the file still doesn't show up, then you didn't name your file properly. It needs to have a ".png" extension.

It's under all formats, and I'm trying to save it as a png, but it doesn't show the .png after it.

Here's a picture, if it helps

Never mind, it won't let me post it

Starting to sound like the file is broken somehow.

What ever program you're using to create the image, consult with their help people/chat/forums. They should be able to direct you to what you need to do to save out a proper PiNG. Once you have done so, it will work in OBS.

It's not just that file, literally nothing but pre-installed programs shows up

 

[Sapiens]

Nothing but pre-installed programs? In the list for adding an image source? It sounds like you're doing something terribly wrong.

I might be, this is my first time using this. I tried to follow a YouTube tutorial, and I did the same as him, but his files showed up and mine didn't.
