But I typically tend to stick with cut because I edit these videos in a program called DaVinci Resolve and it has a number of transitions built in. There are also others that you can include by clicking on the plus and you can include a swipe, a slide, a stinger, a fade to a color like a fade to black or a wipe. The default would be to fade between the screens which gives a gentle fade over 300 milliseconds or you can do a hard cut which basically cuts from one screen to another. Now when you elect to switch between scenes whether that will be via clicking on the scene itself in the interface or you can assign hotkeys to switch between scenes or you can use something like a stream deck which we’ll look at in a future video. Now in the next box we have scene transitions. But we want to specifically configure which item that we want to include. Now as you can see this is picking up some a microphone that’s attached and you can see that it’s it’s showing the volume as I speak. So you can do that by clicking on and going to hide on each of these. Now by default I tend to turn off the default audio configuration because I want to specify which items I bring into my audio. It might be your webcam footage or your screen or it might be an image or a video or an audio source like a microphone. Within each scene you have a number of sources. You might have one which shows a camera and the screen. You can also have different scenes that might have different logos or different configurations of your screen. Then you might have another scene which is actually displaying your screen which is what we want to focus on in this video. I have a scene like that with just a webcam and a background and a microphone. Now this might be one scene with your webcam like you saw in the intro to this video. Now in OBS you can configure multiple scenes. If we take a look down on the left, if we start from the left to the right at the bottom, we have our scenes list. This generally just shows what is being recorded or what’s being sent out on your live stream if you’re streaming or what’s being seen through the virtual camera. At the top here you’ve got your preview window. So if I click on Apply and then click on OK. As I’m in Australia that’s a standard frame rate for Australian use. If I go into video I can come in here and I can select 25 PAL. ![]() What I want to do because I’m in Australia is go into my settings and I want it to be at 20 frames per second, not 30. I’m going to set mine to 30, hit Next and then apply the settings. Use whatever the current is which is 30 or you can set it to a fixed 30 or 60. So you can either have 30 or 60 but prefer higher resolution. In terms of frames per second you can set it to either 60 or 30 but prefer 60. Even if you do have a 4K monitor, I’m running a 4K monitor in scaled mode so I want to record mine at 1920×1080. If you’re on a 4K monitor this can be higher but you don’t have to put it to your standard monitor resolution. If you’re using a standard Full HD screen then this would be 1920×1080. Click on Next and then we can select what our base canvas resolution should be. ![]() ![]() In this instance we’re going to use it just for recording. You can configure all your scenes and sources and everything and you can run it as a camera to be used in Teams or Zoom conferences. The first is for streaming, the second is for recording and the third is to use it as a virtual camera. We can run that manually by going into Tools > Auto Configuration Wizard and we can select here of the three primary features of OBS. I’ve already got it installed so if we jump over to OBS, when you first install it and run it you’ll be prompted with the automatic configuration wizard. Click on the button and the download should start automatically. You can download OBS for Windows, OS, Mac OS and Linux. I’ll put a link to that in the description below. Now as you can see you can download OBS from. Not only is it simple to use and easy to get started with it, it’s completely free. If you want to record your screen for a YouTube video or a training video then OBS is the perfect tool for the job.
