I need different filters on my single camera source per scene

Hi

I need to have two scenes, each with the same camera source, but for the filters to be different. It has to come from the same camera so that the perspective is seamless as I switch between the two.

I have tried adding a camera source to scene 1 and calling it webcam 1, then adding a camera source to scene 2 and calling it webcam 2. When I do the second one it does not show any image, just a black screen, I assume because it considers that camera source to be in use.

So instead I tried adding the same source (webcam 1) to both scenes and just changing the filters, but it changes the filters for both.

Is this something that is possible to do?
Many thanks

Add the webcam to a scene "webcam" and make it fit the scene.

Add scene source -> "webcam" to scene 2, apply whatever filters you want on it.
Add scene source -> "webcam" to scene 3, apply whatever different filters you want on it.

I propose a different approach than r1ch. One without this dummy webcam scene:
Remove all one of your duplicate webcam sources until there is only 1 left and remove all filters from it.
Then add the duplicates again with the "add existing" option, not with the "add new" option.
Put each duplicated source into a group and apply the filters to the group instead of directly to the source. This way the filters are specific to the group and not to the source and are not inherited by other instances of the webcam source.
You can also crop differently as with the crop filter. Press and hold down the ALT key and drag the source borders to crop. This will crop only this instance and will not be inherited by other instances.

Thanks - the grouping solution works great.

100+1's ! Thanks works beautifully. I just added a "Color Source" sent it to the back, shrunk it small at the center of my cam, grouped, applied filter to the group. Cheers
