StreamFX (by Vhonowslend) 1.0.0b610

I am also trying to install this, main purpose will be to have a trapeze display of PIP when speaker introduces a Powerpoint slide (captured from the output for the projector) so basically the left panel goes to narrow at the right end and the right panel to narrow at the left end.
In order for that plugin to work, 1) is it imperative that Windows 10, rather than Windows 7 is being used 2)Does it require a machine restart rather than just a OBS Studio restart.
Are the edits only available in particular screens, maybe somewhere under tools or whatever?
Some while I installed the 'advanced scene switcher' and that worked ok.
Thanks for your help

The gaussian blur worked fine however the filter makes my audio input capture (audio mixer yamaha AG06) becomes stuttering and very much unusable after a minute or two. The gaussian filter applied to a scene (not a video capture device). When i remove the filter, my audio worked fine. Do you have any ideas what is the problem?

The problem seems to be that your PSU can't deliver the necessary power to the GPU for Gaussian Blur. Gaussian Blur is a very expensive blur operation, thus should be used only if Box Blur doesn't look good.

1) is it imperative that Windows 10, rather than Windows 7 is being used 2)Does it require a machine restart rather than just a OBS Studio restart.
Are the edits only available in particular screens, maybe somewhere under tools or whatever?

1. There is no restriction by the plugin itself on what platform it will run aside Windows right now, so you can use Windows XP if you somehow manage to install the Visual C++ 2017 Runtime on it.
2. It only requires an OBS Studio restart.
3. "Edits" are available as new Sources, Filters and Transitions. Where you use them is up to you.

For future reference (and as stated before), the contents of the .zip and .7z file are identical, and the file structure inside those archives match the file structure in an OBS Studio installation. You can simply extract the entire archive on top of OBS Studio and save 90% of the time you would otherwise spend doing it manually.

What do you mean exactly my extract on top on obs studio?

@PartyRooster
To your first issue: There are more recent builds available on AppVeyor which work with the current OBS Studio release. These also include an installer similar to the one used for OBS AMD Encoder, which should make installing the plugin drastically easier.

After running the installer all of the effects work accept the 3d transform and I get this crash.

@PartyRooster AppVeyor builds are development builds not guaranteed to work on all systems. The only stable version right now is 0.4.2, which requires an older obs-studio, which means you'll have to figure out how to properly extract plugins into the installation directory of obs-studio. Alternatively you can try each previous build on AppVeyor until you find one that does not crash.

Up to what version of OBS is stable with this plug in?

 

[Xaymar]

0.4.2 was only tested with 21.x

 

[Xaymar]

In preparation for a future stable 0.5.0 release, I have added OBS Stream Effects to CrowdIn! CrowdIn is the same platform people use to submit translated text for OBS Studio and the AMD Encoder plugin, so if you've used it before you'll feel right at home.

I'm having trouble with adding drop shadows, I can't seem to find out where it is located to add such.

I'm having trouble with adding drop shadows, I can't seem to find out where it is located to add such.

These are part of the next release, which will go out as a preview/beta in the coming days. If you click the windows build status badge, you can already try it out now.

 

[TheRealNap0le0n]

I see, I tried the latest build on appveyor and it crashes OBS on startup. I will wait for that seeing that it isnt imperative( currently using an image to drop shadow )

 

[Yurlyn]

I cheated my drop shadow of my webcam. I'm using a green screen and copied my webcam feed (either directly I think or using Source Mirror plugin) and then put a few filters on that Source Mirror while off-setting the shadow source:
- Color Correction: To make it all black;
- Blur filter: To fade the hard edges.

Maybe that's a solution until the real drop-shadow comes out. I've noticed with too much drop shadow effect with the User-defined Shader plugin can cause frame lag and potential crashes and the blur filter seems fairly light in comparison.

Hello everyone...

trying to use your plugin pack with the most recent version of OBS (22.0.2) and when using your 0.4.2 release, OBS crashed on startup. Then I downloaded the newer release and now it starts, but crashes upon adding any of the effects the pack offers.

I know what has been said in this thread, but I was wondering whether I could contribute in any way with information...

Really looking forward to actually being able to use these

Patrons can now enjoy a new preview version of OBS Stream Effects. This version will go public in 2 days and contains many new things:

Changelog

Blur Filter

• Fixed support for various input Sources (Game Capture, Display Capture, ...).
• Added support for masking the affected region, including feather around the region.
• Added support for Image and Source masks, with an optional Color filter and multiplier.
• Added Linear Sampling versions of Box and Gaussian Blur, which roughly halve the necessary GPU power for a similar effect.
• Switched from Kernel Textures to a Kernel Array, which reduces GPU Usage by roughly 50%.
• [NEW] Added support for Scenes as masks.
• [NEW] Added support for Directional Blur (aka Motion Blur).
• [NEW] Added support for Step Scaling, allowing lower Blur Sizes to have an effect on a larger area.
• [NEW] Drastically reduced GPU Usage by only calculating the Blur once per video_tick instead of every video_render.

3D Transform Filter

• Added MipMapping which can be enabled to reduce aliasing on an angled, scaled, stretched, squished, sheared or otherwise modified source.
• [NEW] Fixed a crash on exiting OBS Studio caused by invalid string references.
• [NEW] Drastically reduced GPU Usage by only rendering the transformed Source once per video_tick instead of every video_render.

Signed Distance Field Effects (previously Inner/Outer Shadow (SDF))

• A new effect that allows rendering various effects based on a Signed Distance Field, for example a Drop Shadow.
• Fixed a crash when adding this Filter to a Source.
• [NEW] Fixed a memory leak caused by never releasing the Filter memory.
• [NEW] Added support for Inverse (Min > Max) and Negative (Min or Max < 0) Gradients to Inner and Outer Shadow.
• [NEW] Added scaling option for the SDF Texture Size, allowing finer control over the output quality.

Displacement Filter

• [NEW] Improved image quality by not relying on bootleg versions of proper intrinsics in shaders.

Source Mirror

• Added support for Audio mirroring, allowing for audio effects to be applied in addition to video effects.
• Fixed recursion causing a crash or frozen OBS Studio.
• [NEW] Fixed a Source leak caused by never releasing the previously mirrored Source.
• [NEW] Fixed a Source leak caused by improper cleanup in recursion checking.
• [NEW] Fixed a crash with Audio-only or Async-Video sources.
• [NEW] Added support for various Rescaling methods (Stretch, Fit, Fill, Fill to Width, Fill to Height).

Xaymar updated Stream Effects with a new update entry:

Stream Effects 0.5.0 Preview 3

It's been over a year since the last full release for Stream Effects, and we're getting ever closer to another one. With this preview release a lot of bugs and crashes have been fixed, new features have been introduced and some even got a much needed upgrade. For example, the plugin now has an Installer like the one for the AMD Encoder!
The most important change is that Blur Filter will now take up to 99% less GPU to run, which means that you can go nuts with the effect even more than you...

Read the rest of this update entry...

I was excited immediately to try this out for the inner shadow filter. It works on some things like small transparent pngs I have, but on my pc, it doesn't seem to work on display captures, window captures, or color sources.

I didn't test every source type... but I did make a video of how it behaves on the sources that don't seem to work. I tried to pare the footage down so it doesn't waste too much time to check (27 seconds)

https://youtu.be/CA4xs3WZJiA

Outer shadow could use some abilty to extend beyond the source borders, or some similar fix to prevent cutoff.

Signed Distance Field Effects require transparent pixels to be present in the original source, as it is an effect that works by finding the transparent edges instead of blurring. In the video it is working as expected, as the source has no transparent pixels.

Outer shadow could use some abilty to extend beyond the source borders, or some similar fix to prevent cutoff.

Use a Resize/Pad Filter before the Signed Distance Field Effects Filter to prevent cutoff. I can't draw outside of the red boundary without running into problems, so this needs to be done manually for now. In the future I could add an option that automatically pads the source to the necessary size, if that is what you'd like to see.

On my testings it seems OBS Studio RC1 beta gets bugged with your plugin.

Its a mess to explain, basically it messes up the positioning of the OBS Window - it says its maximized but its not(you have to click maximized 2 times to fix it) and also the effects on the sources appears bugged in mine not stretched correctly ... moving a setting adjustment within the effect options fixes it however here comes the big issue. Closing OBS and opening it again its all bugged again same with the OBS Window positioning and your effects.

From testing its affecting something on Scene Collection after adding and using an effect from your plugin. If you change to a new Scene Collection one that has not used your effects OBS gets back working as normal its just after using your effects that it bugs out(deleting your plugin files it still keeps the "used" scene collection that had an effect from yours causes OBS still bugged out).

-EDIT-
The not stretched correctly restarting OBS issue it seems to be the same as this where the user posted at the end: https://github.com/Xaymar/obs-stream-effects/issues/46 Just now tested installing the standard OBS Studio 22.0.2 with your current plugin 0.4.2.215 and I am also experiencing the same exact issue there too. I have rolled back to 4.2.0 which I don't have the issue in the standard OBS Studio(however this older version does gives the same issue on the Beta RC1). However I certainly would want you to support your plugin on the RC1 beta since so many great things have been added to it. If you want to Team Viewer so you can see or try to make changes, you perform the installs/uninstalls on my PC that would be totally fine since you did mention on that github page you have not been able to reproduce this so this way you could do it your self using my PC where the issues are happening.
