Question / Help Transferring Profile/Collection to 2nd PC?

[KC7NEC]

I am doing preliminary work for a live broadcast. this includes graphics, sounds, and the such. I am building out a bunch of scenes in OBS Studio on my home laptop. This is NOT the machine that will be used though for the broadcast. What is the simplest method to get my work from one PC to the other? I know that I will have some additional setup on the broadcast PC such as correct sound and cameras but would like to not have to bring in and do the layout over for all the graphics.

Using current version OBS Studio on Windows 10

Settings are stored in %APPDATA%\obs-studio, move that folder or its contents to the same location on the second PC.

Settings are stored in %APPDATA%\obs-studio, move that folder or its contents to the same location on the second PC.

To add to this, images/videos/sounds etc are not contained within these settings files, just the file path to where they are located.

So you also need to move your resources to the second pc in the same file path.

For example, if you have in image source, and it's path is C:\Users\username\Desktop\dankmemes\doggo.jpg
You'd have to copy that folder exactly to the same path on the second PC.

Best way is to setup a folder on the first PC with all the resources you're going to use in a folder like C:\obs-resources\
then copy that and the settings in above post to their respective locations.

Additionally, you could use portable mode, and have the entire setup in one directory, which you then bring to any computer you need to use it on.
Just create a new txt file in the base OBS directory called portable_mode.txt and then the config folder will be right there.
