Question / Help Is it possible to apply a Chroma Key to a game capture?

[Ninja Chris]

Hello! First post.

I am looking for a way to apply a Chroma Key to a 'game capture'. After running a Google search, I found this topic: https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/chroma-key-on-game-capture.7535/

However, I haven't found a way to apply a Chroma Key to a 'game capture' just yet.

The reason I am looking for this, is that I don't want to apply a Chroma Key to a specific game, but instead an overlaying program. I am developing a program used for casting tournaments which will transition upon command into a tournament bracket, into an 'in-game' screen, a 'team info' screen, and finally into a 'Shoutcasters' screen.

The entire program is meant to be a lightweight overlay for different purposes, so I hoped to run an RGB value of 255,0,255 (Hot pink) anywhere I wish to have the Chroma Key applied to strictly my overlay program.

Has this feature been implemented yet and I am missing it, or is there a simpler way to do what I am looking for?
Thanks in advance!

Nope. Use a Window Capture instead.

I wish it were that simple. When running the program fullscreen (My overlay as well as the game being cast), OBS doesn't see the program.

When I run the program in windowed mode, OBS knows the program exists, but shows a pure black screen, recording/viewing absolutely nothing. The mouse even bugs out.

Hello. Sorry for 'bumping', but I truly am wondering if anyone might have a solution to my problem.

If it shows up black with window capture try enabling compatibility mode.

The OBS rewrite will support adding chroma key to any source type.

I'll give that a shot!
