Hello everyone,
I'm looking for a specific feature or a plugin for OBS Studio and I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction.
I create videos (both recorded and live streams) where the subject is often moving. Because of this, I desperately need to have a reference grid constantly visible on my OBS screen while I'm recording or broadcasting (for example, I was thinking of a transparent PNG file with vertical and horizontal lines). This grid is crucial to allow me to always properly center the subject within the frame.
Here is the catch: I need this source (the PNG file with the guidelines) to act strictly as a personal monitoring guide. It must NOT be sent to the output. When I press REC or go live, the content of this source (in my case, the guidelines) must not be visible in the final recorded file or in the live stream.
I am looking for a direct solution (perhaps a custom source filter, a specific plugin, or a script) that allows me to exclude that specific source (e.g., guides.png) from the output, so that it remains visible only to me, in OBS, during the shoot.
Does anyone know if such a plugin exists or if any developer has tackled this specific need?
Thanks in advance for your help!
