Scene change suggestion

Hello there!

That would be awesome if I could change the scene while the another scene is active.

I use the Avermedia card. Well sometimes I need to change something in my scene1 (full screen game + titles + images). To do this I need to minimize current game. And I don't want my viewers to watch my desktop so I use scene2 to hide it. But! I need to make some changes in scene1! To do this I have to click on scene1. And! It becomes active.

Is it possible to do that in actual version?

Thanks! <3

you can set hotkeys for scenes you know...set it to something like Ctrl+Alt+1 through Ctrl+Alt+9 on the 10 key pad.

Well I didn't explain in a proper way maybe what did I mean.

Scene 1 - Game.
Scene 2 - Background Picture.
I play Game and stream it. I've got some additional text on my stream (Score or Deaths counter for example). Lets imagine I've died once again. I need to increase my Deaths Counter. I can do this by minimizing the Game. And my viewers start to see my desktop (I use capture card as a source for OBS). I don't want them to see my desktop and switch my stream to Scene 2 - Background Picture. BUT! How can I change Deaths Counter which is the part of Scene 1 without clicking on it? If I click on Scene 1 it becomes active. HOW could I increase Death Counter without scene changing?

That's why I need to change a part of a scene without making it active.

Changing scenes that are not live will probably be possible in the future of obs-mp. Its a more complex feature though (to make it awesome) so it will take some time until its added.
