Hello! Incredibly new user here. I teach theatre in North Carolina, and am working with OBS to stream productions for my school while we are in quarantine. The Skype NDI input works well to pull in different actors from different locations. However, I've got a couple of questions that I have not found answers to on the forums, and would appreciate your guidance.
My ideal situation would be to have a list of Scenes for each moment in the show that includes the NDI camera stream for just the actors in that scene, along with any general background image for the scene, and any music cues in that scene. However, if I break the show down into scenes each time a character enters or exits, I end up with 118 Scenes, each with 3 - 7 sources in each. Would OBS be able to handle that number of scenes easily? Is there a better way to do this?
Additionally, the ideal situation would be for OBS to cue up the next Scene in the list once each new scene is triggered, but this does not appear to be automatic. This is how lighting cues and sound cues run in the systems my students use (cue 4 is cued up, hit go, cue 4 plays and cue 5 cues up), so it would be the easiest to train them on, and decrease accidents. Is there either a setting or a plugin that would allow for this? As I recall, this does happen with vMix, so would that be a better choice for us to use?
Thank you again for taking a look at this. If there are threads on the forum that already address this, I do apologize; just point me in the right direction and I'll try to find them. Thank you again!
