Is there a way for you get a transparent background? I would like to use this when I stream and record. I use the Nvidia background removal in OBS. Every time I record something it just has a black box around me and it blocks out areas I want to be visible. View attachment 110432
Was looking for a way to do this and found a work around. Create a folder group with the sources you want to be source recorded, make a color source of your choosing, #ff00ff00 is typical chroma green, and put it at the very bottom within the folder. Make sure that the source record plugin is set on the folder and not on the sources in the folder. Now, instead of a black box you have chroma green which can be easily keyed out in the video editor of your choice.

The way I use this, I have a 2 PC streaming setup where I can record "clean" footage on the first PC and have all of my overlays on a second PC that get streamed out. I wanted to start incorporating the live chat on my "clean" footage but didn't want it to always be there.

On my first PC I setup the browser source for chat in its own scene and setup the grouping and source record as I described above. Now I have a clean way to pull chat into my clean footage when I want with fully transparent backgrounds with a simple chroma key in post.

Hope that helps!

I like this a lot. However I'm having an issue with the different audio section and need some clarification on how it works. Right now, I tried to just record from a live source without selecting any audio track. It's not working. The source is picking up audio as I see from the audio meters but for some reason it isn't recording it. The source is in the same scene being recorded in source audio.

Hi, sorry to asks again, but with recent updates including Audio options, is it possible to DISABLE the recording of the Audio when using Source record? I record two cameras at the same time, one using Source Record for just a headshot and no need for audio. I select no audio but the resulting MKV file still provides an empty audio track. Hope that make sense. Thanks.
