# OBS scenes

These are some scene collections for OBS.

## Principles

* Many scenes use a resolution of 840 (wide) × 1080 (high).  This

  weird resolution is actually carefully selected.

  * For interactive work, where a student will be following along, the

    follower will need plenty of screen space to do so.  A vertical

    share allows them to have half of their screen for following

    along.

  * 1080 is the height of a FullHD screen.

  * YouTube will re-encode HD versions at exactly this resolution -

    changing any number makes it not pixel-perfect.  YouTube doesn't

    re-encode perfectly at arbitrary aspect rations.

  * The rule of thumb is "present from your smallest screen".  This

    has the same effect.

* These scenes tend to insert external elements, for example logos.

  These logos are referred to by absolute pathname and *not* included,

  so the scenes need modification before they will actually work.  You

  may need

* You should look through things and update any paths and configs, for

  example:

  * Video save path

  * Logo paths

  * Streaming service

  * etc...

## Common names

To systematically control all scenes via the API, we need to

standardize some scene names.  (Note the terminology, **scene** is a

selectable layout, **sources** are items within the scene.)  We have done that here:

- `Title`: A general title card used for intros and so on.

  - `Clock`: (text that matches xx:NN, regex `([xX?]{2}:)(\d{2})(\s+|$)` )

- `Gallery`: The gallery of presenters, mostly full screen.

- `Screenshare`: Capture of remote screenshare (e.g. zoom screenshare

  window).  Fit the window to the screen.

- `ScreenshareCrop`: Capture of remote screenshare, but it uses only

  the left-hand side.

- `ScreenshareLandscape`: Capture of remote screenshare, with settings

  suitable for landscape view.

- `BroadcasterScreen`: Local screenshare (of the local computer running OBS).

- `Notes`: A screen capture of HackMD or other shared notes.

## Included scene collections

The following screens are included in this collection:

### TeachingStreamingZoomv4

Updated for Zoom Workplace

### TeachingStreamingZoomv3

Latest version of the teaching streaming scene collections.  It's

similar to the other ones, but simplified.

### TeachingStreamingSimple

This is a simple teaching streaming setup capturing Zoom on a

dedicated computer.  The scenes:

- Title: title card

- Gallery: people

- Desktop: Zoom desktop capture

- Notes: HackMD or other capture

How to set it up:

- Title: configure scene as you would like.  This is a static image.

- Start Zoom.  Under general settings, put it in "Dual monitor mode"

- `_Camera` scene: edit the `_ZoomGalleryCapture` source (Right click

  → Properties) and select the Zoom gallery view.  Move this window

  onto your external monitor.

- `_Desktop capture` scene: edit the `Desktop (remote) window capture`

  source and select the other Zoom window.  Adjust the size of that

  Zoom window until it fills the preview as exactly as possible.  Move

  this window onto your external monitor.

- `_HackMD` scene: edit the `_HackMDCapture` source to select your

  browser window.  Like before, adjust the window so that it fills the

  preview.  Move this window off to the side.

Adjust any other settings you may need.

### Demo recording

This is designed for recording 840x1080 demos on your local computer.

It can also be used for recording a demo at the same time as

re-broadcasting it to Zoom without having to use the Zoom recording

(so participants can't appear or be heard in the recording).

## Profiles included

Profiles are settings such as canvas resolutions and encoders.

### TeachingStreamingv4 / v3

Latest version of teaching streaming OBS profile.

## Status of this repository

Under development, reference but may not necessarily be useful to

anyone.

Right now updating is done by rkdarst updating in his own OBS and

re-exporting.
