The directory structure in the .zip and .7z archive matches the directory structure of an installed obs-studio. For example if you installed obs-studio into C:\Program Files (x86)\obs-studio, unpack it so that the data and obs-plugins directory match up, which pretty much just means unpack it to the same directory.

Xaymar i did what you said but i don´t find the menus, once i add a source i don´t see the options of your plugin... do you have any idea on what can be the problem?
thanks again
Hi Xaymar, when i try to add the filter effects i got an error and obs closes... this happens on 32bits OBS.

These are Filters (and in the future Transitions). You have to go to the Filters menu of a Source to add them, they'll be under Effect Filters.
It looks like you tried to add a Transform filter. I'm not exactly sure of the crash location, as the one in the crash log would mean it crashed when returning a value.

Will this be coming to the Mac as well?

At the moment only Windows is supported, though other platforms could theoretically also be supported with enough time. Right now the plugin depends on the ability to be able to manage memory itself, which OBS Studio does not allow it to do. I have submitted a PR in the past to get this fixed, but it is just sitting there since August: https://github.com/jp9000/obs-studio/pull/993

You absolute god! I've been waiting to mess around with the 3D transform in OBS but I didn't know how long that would take to actually get implemented. I so happened to mess around with OBS Studio at the moment (making a new scene collection in for dj-ing) and I was wondering if someone smart and not lazy could just make a 3D transform thing and implement it as a filter and here you are xD
Thank you so much for this! :D

I need a radial and/or gradient blur (only borders blur). Any chance?
Xaymar

Use an Imade Mask if you need to blur only the edges, or wait until Custom Shaders are supported for this.
Diego Aguirre

Sure, I do it... png "blur" mask. but is not the same... I want blur the edges to save encode bitrate/upload bandwidth... get more quality on center and less at borders.

You do not increase quality by blurring the edges. All you are doing is making the encoders job harder and actually decrease quality because it now has less chances to do motion estimation. If you want better quality:
- Increase the bitrate
- Decrease resolution
- Decrease framerate

at same resolution and frame rate... more "black" means less (resolution) data. less data at same bitrate (upload), less compress (encoder load).
motion estimation ~ bframes
http://forum.digital-digest.com/f20/i-p-b-frames-explained-9785.html
"every video frame is broken into blocks of 8x8 pixels"
better center motion estimation/quality, worse edge motion estimation/quality ... at same bitrate (upload), resolution and frame rate.
ll try show u ... 2 steps: lossless local rec, then encode again, w and w/o png "blur" mask filters... cpu x quality x size
(did u see my sample?)

Yes, black would mean that. But blurring doesn't not darken the border, it merely blurs it. If you just want to have darker edges, take an image source and overlay it over the source - done.
Motion Estimation is not tied to B-Frames. B-Frames are simply frames that can use both the next and the previous frame for encoding, instead of being limited to only the previous frames. This gives it a small advantage in quality per bit for a huge encoding performance drop.
Motion Estimation does not work like that. Motion Estimation is applied equally everywhere and the motion data is far easier to encode than actual pixels and takes less bitrate. If you hinder motion estimation or outright break it, all your bitrate is spent on pixels which will be significantly larger per frame.
Go ahead, though you'll be showing me nothing new. I have been doing this for weeks as a task for work, so I've pretty much exhausted all possible options. Also this idea isn't even new and the response is always the same, as people have suggested doing this for about a year now (or longer).
And yes, I have seen your "example", though Twitch, Youtube and Mixer VODs do not count as examples, as all three of them transcode the video. Your issues are in shadowed areas surrounded by bright areas (such as grass under trees).

I want blur to hide dark mask imperfections and go darker at edges.
(THIS https://www.twitch.tv/videos/201320049, gradient, one layer)
in my tests... more b frames = less encode load, quality drop (something w compression x movement prediction idk). x264 has 5 default bframes... go to 0 and 16, compare load/quality/bitrate.
(sorry about my english... here in brazil sample and example can be the same thing)

Dude, this is awesome. Thank you so much for making this! This is pretty much what I've been dreaming about.
A couple of things, though. The 3D Transform effect is amazing, but I noticed that edges tend to be pretty hard. Are there any plans on adding some filtering to smooth out those edges?
Also, sometimes blur just doesn't work for me. I add it and it doesn't do anything.until I either restart OBS or remove and re-add it. Just a little bug, perhaps.
@diego: x264 defaults to a maximum of 3 consecutive b-frames. Raising your bframes variable to something like 16 only changes the maximum number of consecutive b-frames. X264 will decide how many to use on its own which will typically be less than the maximum amount. Again, though, b-frames have nothing to do with motion estimation. It's a frame type that can reference in both ways (backwards and forwards in time) as opposed to only forwards (p-frames). This makes it very compressible AKA bitrate efficient. They're no magic bullet, though. Bitrate, resolution and framerate are the biggest deciding factors in image quality.
Also, giving x264 the possibility of adding more b-frames will always lead to more compression load. You're telling x264 to look for more possibilities to use b-frames after all. That's not free. You'll typically only really notice that with b-adapt=2, though.

I'm also having trouble installing. I read your answer and tried all kinds of other ways. Can you share a screenshot of the filepath?
