Hey obs Community,
I was wondering if it would be possible to create some sort of "smooth transition" for sources (e.g. something like small banners with information) as you activate them.
I am currently working on event broadcasts and would like to fade in the names of the commentators whenever I want to.
When you usually activate a source it just appears which looks very unsmooth and unprofessional.
I already thought of some ways to do it, but I believe (or hope) that there is an easier way to do it.
1. Clone the scene, put the source only in one stream and make a fading scene transition. Probably the easiest way, but if there is a bigger variety of information (e.g. information about the teams, different commentators, general stats or whatsoever) there would be loads of scenes which could lead to some sort of confusion and I would have to change the transition every time as I have already set up a stinger transition with the event logo animation.
2. Create a gif or a video with an alpha channel which already includes the transition. This could probably do the job, but those things need a lot of cpu usage and it's a lot of work I have to put into just for a small fading transition.
Would there be the possibility to do it with some coding and a browser source, which refreshes and starts again every time you activate it?
I don't know a lot about programming, but as far as I know there is the possibility to time pop ups, so I think it should be possible?
Thanks for reading, any help is highly appreciated.
