Question / Help Newb: Bet you can tell me the shortcut!

[samkantrow]

Hi Folks,
New user to OBS and for the life of me I can't figure out how to add a keyboard shortcut. I want to advance the scenes in my "show" by clicking one button (IE hitting the space bar). Is this possible? Trying to avoid having to look down every time I need to advance the scene and I can't seem to find this anywhere in the forums.

PLEASE HELP!

You can find shortcut setting in SETTINGS/ADVANCED

You can find shortcut setting in SETTINGS/ADVANCED

Hi Banyarola,
I don't see anything referring to "shortcut settings" in that folder. I have version 23.2.1, could it be located somewhere else?

SETTINGS/HOTKEYS....

Tried that, but I was unable to figure out a way to go to the next scene. When I set a hotkey for "Quick Transition: Cut" and "Transition", all it does is show the current scene in the Program window. Is there a hot key that advances the scene to the next one?

Try VIEW/MULTIVIEW..
That will show all your scenes and you will be able to transition them that way..

I want to be about to transition with a keyboard shortcut. I an currently using the multiview. I think my confusion is that I do now know what

 

[Banyarola]

That's the only way I know to make shortcuts..I rarely use them so post a new message asking for someone to help you make a shortcut for what you want to do...

There is no Hotkey to cycle the scenes by single key hit. Maybe you can write your own script (lua or python supported) to advance all available scenes by single hotkey. There are plugins that can do automatic cycling of number of scenes by the time trigger, for example: https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/categories/obs-studio-plugins.6/ (look for the "switcher" in the plugin's name or so).
