I would be interested ^^
What I would like to know from which Data would you load information? In my shoutcasts I used a form that saves everything to XML and then requested a HTML in OBS to bring that up in a static graphic.
What is your plan? If you need help with ideas or things regarding an experience eye you can contact me. With about 2500Followers, over 100k Views on Twitch and different tournaments in the past it might come in handy ;)

Sounds interesting but i need more details with this ... Will this plugin be substitute for text plugin and what will be difference? There is too much stuff on which you must pay attention if you want to create something good!
Questions?
1. How much text can be scrolled?
2. How that text can be updated
3. Great possibilities to change text scrolling speed
4. How that text can be changed and how that will influence it in streaming
Suggestions for work!
1. I will suggest that no restrictions be put – I stream from 10.000 to 25.000 text characters in my news all time – That number of characters can span from 3-10 “news” in last 24/48 hours – which depends from journalist to journalist and its way of writing or presenting information?
2. I suggest similar way of updating like in Xsplit - Load text from file with reload checking in seconds (for instance 10-15 seconds) When program detects something changed it simple add command for reloading at the end of scrolling of whole text – That’s mean text will not reload in the middle or anywhere except at the total end of scrolling – That mean viewers will not lose any text in middle because of reloading but news will reload ad the end of scroll
3. Possibilities for change speed from 1 to 100 is very nice in OBS – I use it and it will be very nice same be implemented in this new plugin
4. How different bars will be changed and how that will work in real time with possible some graphic!

Let me add my two cents about my lower thirds workflow:
For now I go with translucent mov video and the video source plugin. The lower third itself is done with Photoshop Extended, or After Effects, so I can animate almost everything. However, in order to properly trigger this lower third I have two scenes, one with the lower third video source and the other without it and I fastly switch between them to force the lower third to play. The scene transition shows some unwanted effect.
It will be interesting to see what your plugin is going to do. Really, hope you have a hotkey to trigger the lower third and eventually allow plain transparent videos to be triggerable.

Hey I have a psychic TV stream and this is something I'm looking for have you made it and if so how do i get it
Hi all... isn't Google great?
I was curious regarding the use of NewBlueFX Titler Pro and OBS. This will work on any 'dual monitor' setup.

I was curious regarding the use of NewBlueFX Titler Pro and OBS. This will work on any 'dual monitor' setup.
- Open up NewBlueFX Titler Pro in Monitor 1
- Open up OBS and have running in Monitor 2
- In Titler Pro find a lower third, main title of your liking and add to your playlist. Change the text fields with your name etc if you like.
- Go up to 'Settings' on the menu bar selecting Device >> HDMI. Drag this small window into Monitor 2 and double click on it to make it fill Monitor 2.
- Go to 'Settings' again on the menu bar selecting HDMI Key >> select Green [either Blue or Green - Green worked based on lower third I chose]
- In OBS create a new scene and name it for this example 'newBlue'
- In 'Sources' add 'Window Capture' >> Window should be: [TitlerLiveStandalone.exe]: HDMI >> Window Match Priority: Executable Name >> deselect Capture Cursor >> Select Multi-adapter Compatibility >> click OK to exit
- Still in 'Sources' left click select Window Capture choosing 'Filters' >> add 'Chroma Key'. I actually chose Custom >> Select color with the color picker on the HDMI Key - Green. Once your color is correct it gets chroma keyed out - wooo whoo!!
- Add a camera or image to the scene. Make sure it's the bottom layer so that newBlue animation plays out over the top.
- OBS can sit comfortably on top of the expanded HDMI newBlue green screen. Why because the Window Capture is capturing [TitlerLiveStandalone.exe]: HDMI
- Go to the newBlue playlist where your lower third/main title is and play it out. You will notice that it seamlessly plays out over your image or camera.

Applied for Beta Access. There are of course quite a few pages out there that offer different types of stream alerts and overlays by now but your intro video definitely looks interesting. And the integration with OBS looked pretty good.
In the end it might be a question of the final costs though. (More a problem for small streamers than the big ones)
Or did you plan to offer a free service?

Wow, this is really impressive. I'm definitely going to be paying attention to this. I signed up for beta access as well.
Are you certain the plugin is GPL2 compatible?
I, too, am curious about the pricing, but I understand if you can't talk about that yet.
