Hello all,
I've been using OBS Studio for two years to stream lectures and meetings. It's an excellent program, but we've recently begun using multiple cameras. While that functionality works just fine (limited processor power notwithstanding!), I've found that duplicating lower thirds, live text, and motion graphics in general is a painstaking and time consuming process. Here's a generic example:
Call up Scene 1, call up lower third graphic banner with live text of a speaker's name.
Call up Scene 2, lower thirds information disappears.
I'll be looking into plugin and CSS workarounds, but it would be lovely if OBS offered native support for persistent graphics across scenes, rather than source duplication (which doesn't really work for text, which has to be manually re-positioned from scene to scene, and has no guide or snapping tools).
Cheers!
